North American Gunslinger Detective

Jimmy took out his burner phone and dialed Justin's number, but no one answered. He looked at the time and saw, well, he was still sleeping at this time. We'll talk about it in the afternoon.

It's been a long time since I called Justin. I really forgot that he basically sleeps in the morning every day and wakes up in the afternoon. This kind of schedule is indeed different from other people's, but it's similar to Woody in Jimmy's Bar. .

Jimmy's bar is not open 24 hours a day. From afternoon to evening, the rest of the time is basically rest time.Well, if Justin came to New York, he and Woody would probably have something in common.

Woody handles most of the internal management of Jimmy's bar, while Isaac, the manager, mainly handles external business contacts. The pairing of the two of them is quite good. They each perform their duties without interfering with each other. The two of them are okay. Taking turns to rest, there will be no boring problem of waiting in the bar for a long time.

Justin and Woody are actually very similar. They usually wear either a sharp suit or a black and white bartender suit. They are meticulous from head to toe, and they are both very good at bartending. However, the two of them look different, and Justin is relatively more handsome. Woody looks a little more mature.

Speaking of which, is the bartender profession toxic?Justin and Woody are both single, unmarried, and have no regular girlfriends... If one of them is chosen as the best man, will it have any impact on him?It would not be a good idea to be infected with single disease.In fact, apart from being older, the two of them have no other shortcomings, and their looks are still very good.

In the afternoon, Jimmy looked at the time and was about to call Justin when his cell phone rang and answered the call: "Mark, what's wrong?"

Mark: "Yang, we have some progress here, I need to synchronize it with you. We received the news in the morning. Neil's friend called him. He was almost kidnapped and managed to escape. We just We have picked up the person, and the person who tried to kidnap him is already investigating the relevant surveillance video, and it is expected that there will be a result soon."

Jimmy: "Kidnapped? Is it Falconi?"

Mark: "I heard Mahone and the others call him Polk."

Jimmy: "That's right. His name is Falconi. Polk means agent, not the real name."

Mark: "Well, Neil and Falconi are currently in a safe house in Brooklyn, and Mahone and I are on our way back to the office."

Jimmy: "OK, I'm waiting for your news."

It seems that Jimmy's previous estimate was wrong. They used Falconi as a middleman to sell art, but the person was killed and the art was gone. They should be looking for Falconi to determine what happened. What, if they knew clearly that these people were killed by the FBI, they would definitely not bother with the middlemen at this time.

Jimmy had previously considered that the gunmen who were killed were mercenaries, and they would not cause trouble for the dead people, but now it seems that because they moved faster, the middleman has not contacted them until now, causing them to There was something wrong with my judgment, and I thought I was being tricked.

If it is a crime-fighting, it is possible for mercenaries to come to New York to work, because by killing the other party, they can continue to fight crime and get a lot of income.

It's a pity that the person who killed them was Jimmy, the FBI, and the New York office of the FBI's largest branch. If all of them really entered the United States to retaliate, there might be big problems.

Now let’s watch Mahone and Mark’s investigation. I don’t know what clues they will find later.

After a while, Jimmy estimated that they were back, so he got up and left the office to go see Mahone.

He needs to make sure that if the person who kidnapped Falconi can find clues to confirm his identity, they can arrest him as soon as possible and bring this case to an end. The 7-8 pieces of art that have not yet been recovered are always a The trouble caused the case to be delayed. The key was the injuries of Julia and Jones. It would take at least a month or two for them to fully recover. This group of people had left both of their groups half disabled.

Ma Hong has been staring at this case recently. It is hard to say that he is not motivated by a little personal vendetta. If it was just a general art case, it should be shelved now.

Speaking of which, I forgot to see Julia during the weekend. Let’s go to the hospital after get off work.Jimmy was thinking about these things as he walked to Mahone's office. When he arrived, Mahone and Mark had already taken the video recorder in the conference room and were playing the video.

Jimmy pushed open the door of the conference room: "Mahong, is there any news? What happened to Falconi?"

Ma Hong looked at the surveillance without looking back: "He has been targeted again, and the person looking for him has a very complete source of information. He has been in the safe house for the past few days. Yesterday, a client contacted him by phone and asked him to meet today. When he left the customer's side, someone found him directly on the roadside and wanted to kidnap him without saying a word.

This was obviously a tip-off. Neil and Falconi were now staying in another place. He couldn't believe anyone now. "

Jimmy: "Where's Falconi's phone number? Could someone locate it through the phone?"

Ma Hong turned to look at Jimmy: "If the person looking for him has phone location permission, I think it would be meaningless for us to continue investigating like this."

Jimmy: "Okay, let's investigate normally."

Phone positioning requires base station data information. To achieve this step, you must at least have permission from a communications company or an intelligence agency. If the person looking for Falconi really has such permission, then this matter will be troublesome. .

If Jimmy and the others want to use phone positioning now, they need to open the command center, or be authorized by someone above Ruiz's level to apply to the Technology Department. Of course, they can also go to the NSA, Counter-Terrorism Bureau, or DHS Department of Homeland Security. Same thing. Authorization required.

If these people can get this kind of authority, even for money, the power they can mobilize later will definitely not be small.

Seeing that they continued to be busy, Jimmy did not disturb them. He left the office and came downstairs to smoke. He called Justin by the way, and he picked up the phone quickly this time.

Justin: "Who are you?"

Jimmy: "Justin, it's me, Jimmy."

Justin: "Oh, what's the matter? You called me once this morning?"

Jimmy: "Well, I forgot your schedule when I called you this morning. How are you doing?"

Justin: "As usual, nothing's wrong. What's the matter with you?"

Jimmy: "You know, I'm getting married soon. Do you have time to come over in May?"

Justin: "Of course, no problem. Send me an invitation. You know the address."

Jimmy: "Well, the invitations will definitely be sent out, but I have a little something to do. Are you interested in being the best man?"

Justin was speechless, his brain was a little exhausted, "What did you say?"

Jimmy: "Be my best man. I remember you are single too." Justin: "Wait a minute, is there something wrong with you? Am I allowed to publicly be the best man at your wedding?"

Jimmy: "Actually, it doesn't matter. Everyone's attention won't be focused on the best man. The main reason is that I came from Little Rock, but after coming to New York, I rarely contacted people there. I want to find a suitable best man." Difficult."

Justin: "That won't work. What is my identity? What is the identity of the person who appears at your wedding? Don't make trouble. I am attending as a friend from your hometown. I have some say. I can just be the best man. Do you want me to retire?" "

Jimmy: "Um, okay, if you insist. By the way, when you come back, I will introduce you to Woody, the bartender at my bar. He is a very professional bartender."

Justin: "Well, just send the invitation and I will arrange it in advance."

Jimmy: "Well, that's it, bye."

Jimmy hung up the phone and continued to smoke. Now he was really worried. If Justin couldn't do it, Woody would probably be in trouble. He wasn't a pushy person. Do you really want Mark, a subordinate, to be the best man?
This question is indeed a bit scratching my head, but anyway, there are alternatives, so there is no rush. I will wait for two days to think about it.

Jimmy returned to his office and finally received a notification from Mark before leaving work. Mahone and the others found the appearance of a kidnapper through video and also obtained the license plate of the SUV they were driving. But it was not just good news, the license plate The number was confirmed to be a fake license plate. Now we can only try to investigate their whereabouts first. As for the relatively clear face we found, we need to wait for the face recognition results, which will not take more than a minute or two.

In fact, they were relatively well prepared. They all wore gloves during the kidnapping, and at least they did not leave any fingerprint information, otherwise the investigation would be much simpler.

After get off work, Jimmy first went to buy flowers and fruits, and then went to the hospital to see Julia and Jones. These two unlucky guys are still in the hospital, but after chatting with them, they can leave the hospital and return home in a few days. Recuperate at home.

Julia looked fine, but she complained that she was going to have ugly scars and would no longer be able to wear a bathing suit on the beach.Jimmy is also helpless. Who can say accurately about being shot?
I can only comfort her and try to find a beauty hospital for scar removal surgery after the injury is healed. But Jimmy is not familiar with this. The position where he was shot before has recovered, and I don’t know if it is because of physical problems. There was no scar at the location where the bullet was shot, just a very light stain. Relatively speaking, it was very good, and there was no need for scar removal surgery.

But he didn’t dare to tell Julia directly about this. As a woman, who wouldn’t care about the scars on her body?If Jimmy said such things to her, he would probably be killed on the spot.

Early the next morning, when Jimmy came to the office, he found Mark already sitting in his seat, "Mark, how is the investigation over there?"

Mark: "The images were sent to ICE yesterday, and the response they gave was that the results should be available before get off work today, so there is nothing we can investigate for the time being. By the way, the SUV disappeared, and there is nothing we can do. The number of road surveillance in New York really cannot cover the entire territory.”

Jimmy: "Well, surveillance is not a panacea. Take it step by step. This case may not be simple later. You must wear body armor at all times when you go out to investigate. They may still be those mercenaries. These people His marksmanship is definitely not bad. We have already lost a Julia, so you must be careful."

Mark: "I understand, I will be careful."

Mark is also someone who has been shot, so he should know it well. Together with Ma Hong, their safety should be relatively guaranteed.

Jimmy sat back in his seat and began to check the case library. There were quite a lot of cases here in Manhattan, let's see which ones would be transferred. The NYPD was so awesome, it made Jimmy and his team seem too idle.

There is still no latest case, and the old cases can be reviewed. However, after reading a few, Jimmy once again focused on the dark web case.

There are no clues in the case of mutilated corpses in the dark web video, which means that this cruel suspect may continue to commit crimes. After all, he takes videos and sells them on the dark web. In addition to the so-called pleasure brought by committing crimes, he must also These funds are needed.

If you want to continue investigating this case, you may need to contact DC headquarters to collect information from various offices and see if they have any other dark web video clues. But in this case, there will be too many resources that need to be mobilized. It was far beyond what he, the leader of the homicide team, could arrange.

Somewhat unwillingly, Jimmy could only look through the information again and write down the clue details so that if he saw it elsewhere in the future, he could compare it in time.

In the afternoon, Mahone and Neil came to the homicide office together, "Jimmy, we have a plan and need your help."

Jimmy looked at them both: "What's wrong?"

Mahone: "Neal has an idea to use Falconi to lure out the people who want to kidnap him. But we can't guarantee Falconi's safety. So, can you help follow Falconi? Try to protect him one time."

Jimmy was speechless, "You are going fishing. Falconi will definitely be exposed to risks when he is used as bait. He should be able to accept this risk, right?"

Neil: "Jimmy, Falconi is my friend. I can convince him to accept this action, but I can't let him die."

Jimmy: "You can just drive the surveillance car and follow him near him, right? Isn't it too much to protect him personally?"

Neil: "Please, we need to resolve this matter as soon as possible. He has been tortured crazy. For the sake of his cooperation in getting those works of art, please help him."

Jimmy looked at Neil's expression. He looked very serious, not his usual cheerful look. It seemed that Falconi had a really good relationship with Neil, allowing him to ask for help like this.

Jimmy: "Are you sure? Even if I help, I can't always accompany him around."

Neil: "I will ask him to carefully release a little information, enough to attract people to come out."

Jimmy: "Okay, you should make preliminary preparations first and let me know when the time comes."

Neil: "Thank you, thank you very much."

Mahone and Neil left, and Mark came to Jimmy's side, "Are you really going to protect Falconi?"

Jimmy: "Let's try it. If we can really lead people out, we can save a lot of worry. It's really difficult to find clues, and all kinds of data are incomplete."

Mark: "But if they go out again this time, it may not be just one or two people."

Jimmy: "Don't worry, I will be ready. When the time comes, you can follow Ma Hong and others and provide support from behind."

Mark: "I understand." (End of chapter)
