North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 682 Unlucky Mark

Nia's investigation will definitely continue. With a good start, things will be much better for them later on. Jimmy also paid attention to it at the beginning, but he didn't pay too much attention later. However, he still needs to make a phone call with Nia to understand the situation. Safety.

It's not that he doesn't care about Nia anymore, but there is trouble on his side too.

When Mark and Julia were investigating a case, they took too much initiative and climbed through the back door of someone else's house into the backyard of a family. As a result, they were complained.

Jimmy was confused when he heard the reason why the OPR agent came over. He had indeed been herding sheep recently. The two of them could go out and investigate whatever they wanted. Anyway, he had the whole story, so as long as it wasn't particularly dangerous, there wouldn't be any problems. , the result turned out to be not because of the case itself, but because they both violated the rules.

Jimmy: "Are you sure?"

The detective nodded: "There is an independent hidden surveillance camera in the backyard of that family. The angle just covers the position of the back door. When Mark and the others were doing the investigation, they climbed through the back door and entered their backyard. They didn't do anything but took a look. out."

Jimmy: "Are both of them in?"

The detective shook his head: "Only Mark and Julia were outside the back door, but they can be seen in the surveillance video, but the accuracy is not enough. The homeowner came to complain after getting the surveillance from the neighbor for comparison."

Jimmy: "OK, let me find out the situation first, and I will notify them to contact you when they come back."

The OPR agent took out his business card and handed it to Jimmy, shook hands with him and said goodbye, and left the office.

Jimmy put his feet up on the table and leaned back to consider this complaint. It was rare for internal complaints to be directly reported to OPR. Generally speaking, external complaints were only recorded and passed on. Let's put it into perspective. There are really not many OPR agents who come forward to talk directly like this. It's not that their procedures are wrong, but that no one is willing to do this.

The petition work is the most tedious, and the FBI will also receive complaints. This is understandable, but complaints will not be handled so quickly. By the time of the internal investigation, the complainant may have forgotten about it.

And this time the people from OPR came forward so quickly. The identity of the person who made the complaint must not be simple. It was an ordinary agent who came to notify Mark and ask them to question. It seems that OPR had some ideas. This could not move Jimmy and planned to take him. Will anyone take action?
Jimmy took out his phone and called Mark, asking them to put down what they were doing and come back.

When Mark and the others came back, Jimmy had been drinking tea for a while, and they happened to sit down. Jimmy put out teacups for them to pour, and asked: "What case are you investigating recently?"

Mark and Julia looked at each other, wondering why Jimmy would ask this question, "A murder case, the deceased was a clerk in the IRS New York office, a federal employee, so the NYPD turned over.

She did not go to work the next day after returning home from get off work, and her colleagues could not contact her. When they went to her home after work, they found that she was dead. Identify missing content.

The deceased was single, had no family or relatives in New York, and had no regular boyfriend, so no one called the police on the day of her accident, and she was only discovered the next night.

The autopsy showed that the time of death was three nights ago. The cause of death was suffocation. It was speculated that he was strangled by someone's neck, similar to naked hanging.

Based on the height and weight of the deceased, her position in the room, and the traces around her, it is inferred that she did not fight with anyone, and there were very few signs of struggle. It can also be basically inferred that the murderer should be a tall man who had practiced some fighting. skills, or experience in street fighting.

No fingerprints of the murderer were found at the scene, possibly because he was wearing gloves, and there were no other possible tissue samples of the murderer on the deceased.

We intervened in the investigation the day before yesterday. We investigated the area around the incident for a while the day before yesterday and yesterday. Today we were originally going to visit her workplace and ask if anyone was familiar with her. "

Jimmy nodded while listening. From the current analysis results, there should be no big problem. The only problem is that he is too sure that the murderer is a man. There are many women who are also very powerful, but this is not a big problem.

Jimmy: "Did you dig into someone else's backyard? Mark, I'm talking about you."

Mark nodded: "We checked the surrounding environment of the deceased's home. Her house is a row house with a small garden behind it. We visited several of her neighbors and found that there was no one in two of them. We started from Checked out the backyard.”

Jimmy: "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Mark: "No clues found."

Jimmy: "OK, the OPR people came here just now. They received a complaint. You broke through someone else's back door and were discovered by hidden surveillance."

Mark glanced at Julia in surprise: "Julia, have you noticed the surveillance?"

Julia was also surprised and quickly shook her head: "We didn't find any surveillance cameras when Mark checked that house. If we knew there were surveillance cameras in his backyard, we would have asked for them. We might have found clues to the murderer."

Jimmy: "That's interesting. Are you sure you didn't find anything?"

Mark and Julia both nodded, and Jimmy snapped his fingers, "Do you remember the address? Come on, take me to see it. Julia, bring your computer and find out what that family does."

Setting off again, Jimmy drove Julia and followed Mark's car straight to Queens. Jimmy had no interest in the murder. What he was interested in now was the person who made the complaint.

Judging from Mark's description, Mark only went in for a look and did not meet their people. He only wanted to confirm whether there was surveillance in the backyard and provide them with clues.

Yes, he did violate the rules, and it can even be said to be illegal, but usually the complaint handling plan should not be like this. The identity of the complainant must be unusual, but Jimmy can't directly go to the OPR person and ask who made the complaint. , I can only let Julia check it based on the address.

When they arrived at the destination, Mark searched for a while and then determined the house number. They did not take any action. Instead, they all sat in Jimmy's car and waited for Julia to investigate.

Julia was good at checking information and got the result quickly: "Found it, the registered owner of this house is Olivia Williams, and her husband is Liam Williams, New York Senior Assistant U.S. Attorney, District Attorney's Office."

She continued to investigate, "Wait a minute, there is new news. Their permanent address registered here is on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. This is just one of their houses."

Jimmy nodded, that's right. The New York District Attorney is different from the federal prosecutor's office that the FBI often deals with. They deal with state and sub-state crimes, but everyone works and lives in New York. This kind of They must be considered powerful people. If they complain, it is understandable for OPR to take action.

Jimmy stared at the house and raised the corners of his mouth, "Julia, contact Prosecutor Williams to confirm who is currently living in this house and whether they have rented it out. As for us, Contact him in the name of investigating the case."

Julia looked at Jimmy: "Anything else?"

Jimmy: "Let's see the results first." Julia picked up the phone and dialed Prosecutor Williams. The information was in front of her, and of course the phone information was also there.

The content of the phone communication was very simple. The FBI homicide detectives called his cell phone. After verifying his identity, he didn’t hide anything. The house was not rented out, but it is currently occupied by his wife’s brother. The couple will not live here.

Jimmy signaled Julia to hang up the phone, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It is obvious now that Mark, your action of climbing through the back door and entering the backyard irritated the prosecutor's brother-in-law, and he used the prosecutor's name to report it to the FBI. A complaint was filed here, and because of Williams' identity as prosecutor, our OPR started an internal investigation.

So the question is, why is he so excited because you climbed over the wall?Any ideas? "

Jimmy looked at Mark and Julia with a smile. Julia responded faster, "He has a problem, there is a problem with this house."

Mark also nodded. He didn’t know if he deliberately didn’t say he was waiting for Julia, but anyway, the two of them were on the same page now.

Jimmy: "Well, what are you going to do?"

Mark: "Let's figure out the reason first. I want to keep an eye on him here for a while."

Jimmy: "What about the murder?"

Mark: "We still have to investigate here."

Jimmy: "Okay, work with peace of mind, Mark. When you go back, go find OPR first and deal with them.

Julia, submit an application and have a monitoring team come over to keep an eye on him. In addition, you go to the power company to check the electricity usage of this house.After that, you continue to investigate the case and wait for feedback from the monitoring team. "

Jimmy waved his hand and asked Mark to go back to his car, and the three of them returned to the office again.

Although none of the three people got close to the house, Jimmy had already discovered the problem. In the basement and a small room of the house, there were several shelves with some plants with leaves on them. This style was too familiar to him. There is no need to go in and check.

The surveillance team is here to prevent him from running away. The trump card is that Jimmy asked Julia to check the electricity usage situation, directly confirm the evidence, and break down the door to arrest the person.

This matter could be big or small. If it had been anyone else, I'm not sure how much headaches it would have caused now. Jimmy's attack was a mistake. Originally, he wanted to use contacts to solve this incident after finding clues. Now it seems that there is A better way would be to find something for them to do, and possibly gain some favors by the way.

New York District Attorney Jimmy is not familiar with them, but the NYPD must be familiar with them. Nia and the others have to submit the case to the District Attorney for prosecution. When he contacted Nia on the phone in the evening, he even asked Nia casually, but Nia and this William Moss has never had any dealings with him, which is normal. Not everyone in the NYPD with tens of thousands of people will contact the district attorney, and they won’t stick to a certain district attorney. After all, the New York District Attorney has more than a thousand prosecutors and prosecutors. Assistant Prosecutor.

But this Williams is already a senior assistant prosecutor, so he should be of some use, right?

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy thought for a moment, looked at the time, and called Kevin to make sure he was at home. Then he went out and rushed to Kevin's house.

Kevin opened the door for Jimmy and waved him directly to the study. Jimmy didn't say what the matter was on the phone, but it would definitely be nice to have him call at night.

Kevin: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jimmy did not sit down, but brought red wine from the side and poured it for the two of them. "Are you familiar with the New York District Attorney? There is a senior assistant prosecutor named Liam Williams."

Kevin thought for a while, "The name reminds me a bit, but I don't have much direct dealings with them. Is there any problem?"

Jimmy nodded: "No problem has been found with him, but the people related to him may indeed have something, and they may also implicate him."

Kevin stretched out his hand and waved, "Wait a minute, let me take a look first."

Kevin stood up and sat down behind the desk. He took out a diary from the safe, put on his glasses and started flipping through it. "Jimmy, keep talking."

Jimmy: "My man had a small accident while investigating a murder case. He climbed over the backyard of the deceased's neighbor without contacting the homeowner. Later, he was complained to OPR, and OPR responded very quickly. , I came over the next day, which made me feel a little strange.

I checked with my staff to find out who lived in that house. The house was in the name of Senior Assistant Prosecutor Williams' wife, but they did not live there, but his wife's brother lived there.

Normal people would not be so vigilant. They should have called the police first when they found out someone had climbed into the backyard. However, after he confirmed his identity, he complained directly to the FBI. This is completely unreasonable.

I didn't alert him and arranged for a monitoring team to be there, which would probably yield some results. "

Kevin nodded while listening. By the time Jimmy finished speaking, he had almost completed the investigation. He closed the notebook and put it back in the safe. He took off his glasses and sat back. "The speculation is reasonable, but there is not enough evidence. I guess you want to It’s also difficult to do it.”

Jimmy: "Well, what I'm looking for you to confirm is Williams' position. If something is confirmed, he may be implicated later. Please tell me in advance to avoid being passive."

Kevin thought for a while: "Can we definitely pull him down?"

Jimmy: "Not necessarily. Although their relationship is relatively close, they are not his own biological brothers after all. There is still insufficient evidence to force the relationship, but the cover-up will definitely not escape."

Kevin thought for a while, "How sure are you?"

Jimmy: "About 60%. I'm sure something happened to the people in that house. He was so nervous that FBI agents jumped into his backyard. It must be something big, but I'm not sure what it is yet."

Kevin nodded: "Understood, it's always good to make some preparations in advance. Let me know if there is any news later. I also have a few acquaintances at the local prosecutor's office."

Jimmy picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Kevin: "Then I'll go back first. Good night."
