North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 635 Difficulties
Ruiz stood up and walked around the office twice. He obviously had a different style from Hughes. Hughes usually stood at the window and looked outside when he was thinking.

After a while, he stopped and looked at Ma Hong: "I will contact ICE and ask them to screen the immigration information. If these robbers enter the country normally, the customs will have relevant information. If they were using fake passports, they could at least be traced to where they had been.

Mahone, you should track their whereabouts through surveillance and on-site investigation as soon as possible, and find out where their home base is in New York.If you need support, you can call SRT. "

Ma Hong nodded, "I understand. The technical department has been arranged to investigate nearby road surveillance. The truck they used has been identified. Now we are waiting for the news later."

Ruiz: "Jimmy, according to the existing clues, the murder case on your side and the robbery case on Mahone's side should be related cases. Let's handle them together. Mahone also has experience in investigating murder cases. The Newark office Please contact them over there, this case probably has nothing to do with them."

Jimmy nodded: "There is another question. Riley from Newark suspects that this Oliver is a spy. He is not investigating murder cases, but tracking down espionage cases using fake passports in their jurisdiction."

Ruiz: "Then hand over the fake passports and these documents to them, and let them investigate the follow-up. This murder case should be just their preparation for cleaning up the traces of the case, and it should have nothing to do with the deceased himself."

Jimmy: "Understood, I will cooperate with Mahone in fully investigating the robbery."

Ruiz waved his hand, and Jimmy and Mahone left his office. This time, the case was notified from above, and Jimmy could only investigate with Mahone.

Mahone: "Jimmy, go back first. I'll let you know if there are clues here. You deal with the matter in Newark first."

Jimmy nodded: "Okay, you work first, I'll go back and write a report first. There will be a lot of trouble this time, so let's write it down first, so as not to forget the details later."

Jimmy sighed as he walked to the office. It felt so good when he was shooting, but how uncomfortable it was when he wrote the report. He came next to Neil, hooked him, and the two left the office.

Jimmy needs to talk to Neil because Jimmy's report will be a little biased because the middleman is gone.But Neil was pretty good to his friend. After the middleman brought Jimmy and Neil in, he left from the back. The buyer and seller were face to face, and there was no need for the middleman to be present.

Jimmy lit a cigarette for himself. Neil didn't smoke. He knew this, but he asked a personal question first: "Neal, what's wrong with your face?"

Neil's face was a little red, and the two of them could see it clearly when they were standing together. Although it had been covered with foundation, it was not completely covered.

Neil's expression was not very good: "I met that person again yesterday, and there was a little conflict. It was nothing. It has been resolved."

Jimmy: "Are you sure there's no problem? I can get the person back if necessary."

Neil said hurriedly: "No, no, there is no problem. Please don't worry about him, he won't say anything casually. ... I promise, believe me, there will be no problem."

Jimmy nodded and took a puff of cigarette: "Okay, let's go over what happened yesterday, and pay attention to the report you want to give to Mahone."

The conversation about Neil ended quickly. After the two of them finished the process in the warehouse, Jimmy threw away the cigarette butts and the two returned upstairs.

With this kind of communication, Jimmy's report was much easier to write, because all three people were killed by him. Neil needed to keep an eye on the artworks at the scene after Jimmy left, so he did not come out of the warehouse and all three sellers died. Yes, he is safe, so it makes sense.

The report must be written, but there is no need to work overtime to finish it. Jimmy only wrote part of it and then packed up and went home to rest.

When I returned to the office the next day, Mark was already there, "Yang, what happened? How did Julia get shot?"

Jimmy: "You didn't go see her?"

Mark shrugged: "It will pass today. I came back a little late yesterday."

Jimmy: "Well, yesterday we went to investigate the robbery case in the white-collar group, and we were attacked by robbers from outside. Julia got out of the car early and was targeted by them. By the way, Jones was also shot. Only Ma Hong has nothing to do, remember to bring two gifts when you go."

Mark nodded: "I'll go see them at noon. What should I do now?"

Jimmy: "Oliver's case has been consolidated. I called Riley last night, and their investigation will continue. Someone will come over this morning to collect Oliver's evidence, and his and his family's bodies will also be sent. After the burial in Newark, Riley will notify the family to claim the body.”

After Jimmy finished speaking, he returned to his seat. Mahone's clues had not yet come, and he still had time to complete the report he had not finished yesterday.

Mark handed over the evidence to the people in the Newark office, and then left the office directly to visit Julia and Jones. Jimmy didn't care about him skipping work during work hours. He did this often, and he happened to be free now. It won't affect work either.

The report was successfully written. Jimmy checked it once and saved it. This report is not submitted now and will be processed after the case is completed.

After making himself a pot of tea, Jimmy drank tea in a daze and started fishing like Mark. Soon he was no longer alone. Ruiz came in from outside and said, "You are very free."

Jimmy: "You're here just in time. I just made tea. Sit down."

Ruiz was not polite, picked up the tea poured by Jimmy and took a sip, "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always think the tea you make is better."

Jimmy: "Of course tea is better. What do you want from me?"

Ruiz: "As for the people below you, how have they been doing these past few months?"

Jimmy: "It's not bad. As a newcomer, he's pretty good. What for? Do you want to be transferred?"

Ruiz waved his hand: "No, I just want to talk to you. Although we don't have any regulations, you still have to protect them as much as possible. After a few months under your command, they have begun to take turns in the hospital. "

Jimmy was immediately speechless. He was partially responsible for Mark being targeted earlier, but it was not his responsibility at all for Julia to be shot this time.Julia, Mahone and the others were in the surveillance car at the time. Who would have thought that the gunman would actually ambush three people outside.Jimmy: "It was all an accident."

Ruiz: "I understand that it is understandable for us people to have such an accident, but..." Ruiz was also considering what he wanted to say, and it was better to say some things clearly.

Ruiz: "You know, news is already spreading that most of the people who work with you are in danger, including your former partner."

Jimmy sighed, "I can't help it. There aren't many normal cases. No one can control accidents. They can say whatever they want, I don't care."

Ruiz: "Okay, just know it yourself. I heard that you have signed up for school?"

Jimmy: "Well, you know, my education is a little low."

Ruiz: "So what are your plans? When will it be over?"

Jimmy: "I guess it will take a year to a year and a half... Why do you ask this suddenly? Is there any problem?"

Ruiz nodded: "I originally planned to report it to you during the adjustment in the second half of this year, but... your hardware conditions are stuck."

Jimmy: "What's wrong? Wait, is it a matter of academic qualifications?"

Ruiz: "It's really hard to get an associate's degree. Strictly speaking, your current conditions are not even enough to enroll at Quantico College."

Jimmy took a sip of tea. Ruiz came specially to tell him about this. It seemed that he was really in trouble. Otherwise, as they had discussed before, he could be promoted to a supervisory agent after getting on the right track.

One of the criteria for FBI recruitment is a bachelor's degree or above. If it weren't for the impact of 911, which required an emergency recruitment expansion and was recommended internally, Jimmy would really not be qualified to join the FBI.

Jimmy: "Anything else?"

Ruiz shook his head: "The other problems are not big."

Jimmy: "Okay, I understand, thank you."

Ruiz also sighed, and the two casually chatted about Jimmy's wedding and honeymoon preparations, drank tea and left.

Jimmy must be in a bad mood. He did consider that his academic qualifications would hinder him before, but because everyone had talked about it before, he thought he would stay in the position of supervisory agent for a while. Now it seems that the senior agent's The title will hang for more than a year.

However, his rank does not affect his position. Ruiz also made it clear that the acting team leader will end soon. It is not a big problem for a senior detective to serve as the leader of the homicide team. As far as Jimmy's credit is concerned, no one can Say something.

In the afternoon, the news from Mahone finally arrived. Based on surveillance traces, the technical department successfully located the area where several suspects were present, within a few blocks of the Bronx. The rest was on-site investigation, and road surveillance appeared white space.

Jimmy had no interest in this kind of on-site investigation. He asked Mark to follow Mahone and conduct on-site investigation in Jones's place. At the same time, Mahone also dispatched a group of support agents to go with him.

The only survivor cannot be interrogated yet. Although Jimmy did not aim at the head when he shot, the shot to the torso was shot into the body at an angle. In fact, his lungs were severely damaged. It is not easy to survive. Now everyone No one can talk to him because he can't get rid of the artificial lung yet. As for when he can, it depends on his recovery ability and the hospital's treatment capabilities.

This also left Mahone and the others with no other way except to locate the possible location of the gunman based on existing clues.I have contacted the customs for information comparison, and I have to wait for when the results will be available.

There were six robbers involved in the auction house robbery. Including the person pretending to be a security guard and the driver outside, the currently known team of robbers was eight people. When Jimmy and his gang were trading, there were three in the warehouse and three outside. A total of There were only six, and at least two of the group were still on the run.

There were 21 pieces of art they stole from the auction house, and Jimmy and the others traded [-] pieces of art. Although the bureau has not yet fully identified them, the judgment they got from Neil was that these [-] pieces were all The art pieces were robbed this time, so the robbers still have at least eight pieces of art in their hands.

It is very difficult for just two people to transport such a quantity to other places for storage, and it is impossible for them to ask people to help move it in a big way, so if there are no accidents, the batch of artworks should still be in one of their previous strongholds. , waiting for these people to be transported away together after returning.

So if Ma Hong and the others move quickly, they will definitely be able to block people within a certain range. The only thing left is to find a way to locate their location. Of course, there is one more thing to consider here. The transaction failed yesterday, and they must have received the news. If they did give up some of their art to escape, they could easily have left New York yesterday.

Jimmy thought about it for a long time after Mahone and Mark left, and finally decided to participate. His biggest advantage compared with others is his plug-in. He can stand on the street and see what the people in the house are doing. This is very useful for large-scale investigations like theirs, especially when detecting people who act abnormally.

After looking at the time, Jimmy went straight downstairs and drove to the Bronx. This borough is the most chaotic of the five boroughs in New York. He has always said before that he needs to be particularly careful when handling cases here. Many times the people they encounter even They may look inconspicuous, but they may be gang members. If a dispute arises accidentally, they may immediately draw weapons.

After Jimmy arrived, he got the photos of the truck and the deceased people from Mahone. These were the only clues they had. They needed to rely on these photos to find out information from people in this area.

If it was just an ordinary robbery, Mahone and the others wouldn't have done so much. The key is still Jones and Julia. The two detectives were injured. This is no longer an ordinary case, but the robber and Julia. The private vendetta and revenge of their FBI team does not need to be considered too much. As long as it is within the scope of their authority, no one can say anything if they take bigger actions.

Jimmy has already discovered a lot of people with concealed pistols. These people don't look serious, but they don't make trouble. They just watch the FBI people wandering around the block from a distance, asking what they are looking for.

In the evening, the entire neighborhood had been questioned, but they still didn't get any new clues, because many of these locals would not cooperate. Even if they had found something before, they would say they didn't know anything. It was basically a waste of time.

Jimmy didn't gain much either. He could find that many people were staring at a group of agents wearing FBI trench coats below by the windows to inquire about something. But Jimmy was sure that [-]% of these people were definitely gang members, let's not talk about it for now. Are they their target robbers? Just confirming the identities of these people can be exhausting.

Ma Hong was helpless and could only use the walkie-talkie to notify others to gather. After summarizing the general information, they dispersed.
