North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 745 Reasons

Kevin has changed a lot in the past two years. From being a police administrator in the past, he is gradually moving into politics. Recently, there are clear signs that he will accept the mayor's appointment and take over as NYPD chief. He will officially transfer from a affairs officer to a government management position, so he There have been a lot of social activities recently. Even if it is Christmas Eve, I still have to attend receptions and canvassing activities. The further you go up, the less private space you have.

It was already very late when Kevin came back. Of course, Jimmy and the others did not wait for Kevin. Dinner had already been taken care of. However, Jimmy had called Kevin before, so he had been waiting in the study. As for Nia, she Watching TV with my mother in the living room, and whispering between mother and daughter.

Kevin walked into the study and walked to the sofa as he said: "Jimmy, what happened?"

Jimmy took a cup and poured wine for Kevin, and said: "Nothing, congratulations, you will be the director soon. Will you be very busy recently?"

Kevin clinked glasses with Jimmy, took a sip, picked up the cigar next to him and cut off the tail: "It will be very busy. I was originally planning to go on vacation this holiday, but it has been completely cancelled. Tell me, you specifically asked me to come back early. There must be something going on.”

Jimmy nodded: "I've been wondering recently if one of the things we discussed before can be put on the agenda, about Nia's work."

Kevin raised his eyebrows: "Didn't he say that he would wait until she gets pregnant to transfer to an administrative position?"

Jimmy: "Yeah, but I've been on a business trip recently. When I came back, I learned about a case she handled a month ago. There was a gunfight and she was almost shot again. If it hadn't been for the help of my colleagues, maybe... the consequences It’s unimaginable.”

Kevin nodded. Of course he knew that Nia almost had an accident. Many people in the police station knew that Nia was his daughter, and some were willing to inform him. "Have you talked to her?"

Jimmy shook his head: "We haven't talked about it yet, I just want to hear your opinion first."

Jimmy reached out and patted Mahone's arm without saying anything. Mahone's personality had changed a bit because he killed a scumbag, and he was also addicted to some drugs. For the sake of his family, he had no choice but to directly raise the issue with his wife. After the divorce, the son also left with his mother.

Mahone sighed, his face not very good, "No, they are still in Chicago."

Kevin: "Okay, tell me, what happened during the two months you were out?"

In fact, Jimmy's idea of ​​​​wanting Nia to leave the position of police detective has been around since he came back from a business trip. Nia did not say it, but Jimmy still learned some through other people. Police detective is indeed not a safe position. They often They all need to go out to investigate in civilian clothes and go deep into the neighborhoods. There are still a lot of lunatics in New York. When they see the police drawing their guns, their first reaction is not to raise their hands and surrender, but to run away or fight back. This is very annoying.

The next day, Jimmy sent a message to Mahone. In the afternoon, the two met at a coffee shop near the office. Mahone said straight to the point: "Part of your guess is right. The homicide department does have news." There is a new team leader, but it has not been announced yet, and it is not clear who will be transferred.”

If it weren't for Jimmy, who allowed Mahone to escape the control of certain people, and later solved his psychological problems and quit certain drugs, his life would definitely be worse. However, things have already happened. After the divorce, the remarriage has not been completed. Judging from the current situation, there is probably no chance.

He drank a lot, and Nia became the driver this time and took him home. However, today was Christmas Eve, which was obviously not a good time to talk about this issue.

Jimmy: "Besides these, are there any other changes in the bureau recently?"

Ma Hong: "Yes, but it probably has little to do with you. The bureau has conducted a round of personnel transfers with the headquarters and other offices. Several management personnel have left the office. New communication personnel will also come after the holiday, but these Most of the people are in administrative management, and the field supervisor type has not changed much.”

Kevin: "Is that just the problem?"

Jimmy took a sip of coffee, thought for a while and then said with a smile: "It seems that there will be changes at the top, but since it has nothing to do with us, let's forget about it. By the way, are your family coming this Christmas?"

Ma Hong: "You're welcome. You help me and I help you. It's all normal."

Jimmy: "Ruiz asked me to go back to work after New Year's Day, and my new position will be announced then. It's only been a few days, and it hasn't been decided yet?"

Jimmy himself is very capable, so he doesn't care about these dangers, but after all, Nia is his wife, so encountering such dangerous things still makes him a little worried, so he quietly chatted with Kevin for a while while traveling. , made an appointment to meet and chat at Christmas.

Kevin: "Don't worry about what I think. As long as you have an agreement, it will be easy for me to handle it here. As for the position, this can be adjusted at any time. I will communicate with others in advance."

Jimmy: "Huh? Of course, I can take care of other things. Trust me, if there is anything I need your help with, I will definitely tell you."

At present, it seems that Nia still likes her job. Occasionally she will ask Jimmy about how the FBI will handle cases. If she is not interested in the work and just screws in step by step, she will basically not behave like this. Now Jimmy If you want her to leave the field and transfer to the administrative department of the police station, she will definitely be resisted.

Ma Hong: "Yes, I think other than communicating directly with the higher-ups, it is difficult to determine who will take over the homicide team. Also, I quietly investigated OPR, and I can basically confirm that they have no investigation actions against you. , otherwise it wouldn’t be so quiet.”

Ma Hong: "No, it was quite sudden. In fact, if I hadn't investigated, I might have waited until next year to find out like everyone else."

Jimmy nodded and picked up the coffee cup: "Thank you."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows. Such a sudden large-scale personnel change did not look like a normal rotation. "Was there any news before this personnel transfer?"

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll talk to Nia about this later."

Everyone has all kinds of troubles, and life will go on. It is impossible to dwell on the past. I believe that Mahone can come out of it. Jimmy had seen Mahone bring a woman to their small party before. But there was no news of them being together later.

For a middle-aged handsome guy like Ma Hong, finding a woman is not a problem at all. In addition, the cases he is currently handling are basically financial and artistic, and he comes into contact with many high-quality elite beauties. Such a single middle-aged handsome guy The attraction is very strong.

Mahone still had to go on duty, so Jimmy didn't take up too much of his time. He briefly chatted for a while and then separated. However, Jimmy still stayed in the coffee shop for a while, and finally decided to call Ruiz and ask him out for the evening. Go sit at a bar. The matter still needs to be dealt with from the source. There is too little information obtained from outside investigations. At present, the most comprehensive information can be obtained only from Ruiz.
-

Jimmy's bar is already known to many people in the bureau. With Jimmy's character, those messy things will not appear in his bar, and many people in the underground world also know this. Many times their Certain events avoid this bar, so even if the bar is a bit far from the office, many colleagues usually choose to come here to have a drink or two. Safety is very important to them.

Jimmy came to the bar early and saw a few familiar people. Although he might not be able to call them by name, it was no problem to smile at each other and raise their glasses. This also forced him to change his habits. There was no room for him to sit at the bar. I got some snacks from Woody, and carried the wine bottle and cup to the small room.

The bar is running well under the management of Woody and Isaac. Although they can't make a lot of money through sideways, they have less worries and live a comfortable life. It's just that one of them is an old man who is not married, and the other is divorced. Being middle-aged, coupled with the fact that the quality of other bartenders and waiters is really good, it is inevitable to attract some women and some men in the environment of the bar.

Isaac has a flexible mind. After he discovered this strange situation, he even suggested to Jimmy whether to organize a gay day event in the bar, and select one or two days a week or every month to hold special activities to attract some customers.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Jimmy. Just open the bar normally. Putting certain labels on the bar will indeed attract more customers, but it will also make some people feel disgusted. Jimmy is originally Chinese, and he will be labeled with some labels. More troublesome.

Ruiz came quite early, and Jimmy was still very surprised, "It's so early, do you want to eat something first?"

Ruiz waved his hand, directly picked up the tongs and picked a few ice cubes from the ice bucket next to him and put them into the cup. While pouring the wine, he said, "No, I was just having dinner with someone nearby and I will come over after finishing."

Jimmy: "Well, actually the sandwiches at the bar taste pretty good."

After taking a sip of cold whiskey, Ruiz said: "Is it about your position?"

Jimmy shrugged: "You said too little on the phone last time, so I can only confirm with you in advance. What happened?"

Ruiz: "It's just an accident. There are some things you don't need to know, but I still have to congratulate you. You will be SSA after New Year's Day."

Jimmy had a question mark: "What do you mean? Why is it so sudden? Isn't it because of academic qualifications?"

Ruiz took the cup and knocked it on the table: "Of course you fought for it yourself. You don't think that the two-month secondment at the headquarters can be passed so easily, do you? What's more, this case is really handled Beautiful, many people have contacted us to investigate your file. How can we not give you some benefits?

But don't be happy too early, Jimmy, do you know what your biggest problem is? "

Jimmy paused: "Chinese?"

Ruiz: "No, young. You have done too much. It is undeniable that you have rich experience and outstanding achievements, but age is a very important evaluation link... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Drink."

After Jimmy drank, he continued to ask: "Can't I continue to be in the homicide team after becoming SSA? Why do I have to change positions?"

Ruiz's face was somewhat unnatural. The transactions behind the scenes were very complicated. It was not a simple matter of promotion and position change. But he couldn't say too much about these things to Jimmy: "It's very complicated here, Jimmy. Sometimes you have to get benefits. You have to pay some price. And it’s not just a transfer... you also need to be quiet for a while."

Jimmy was really surprised. He and Ruiz had a life-and-death relationship. They had never talked to each other in such a vague way before, even including the bad things at Seventeen. Although they didn't talk too clearly to each other, they could still say it. I understood what the other party meant, and this time about my position change...

Looking at Ruiz with a frown, Jimmy asked again: "Is someone targeting me?"

Ruiz shook his head: "It's not targeted, it's just an unspoken rule. Jimmy, you are only 31 years old, Chinese, with outstanding abilities and many honors. If you follow the steps step by step, maybe you will create the history of the Manhattan office..."

Jimmy reached out and stopped Ruiz: "I get it, I finally get it, this damn bureaucracy."

Judging from Jimmy's current trajectory, it is basically clear that he will enter management in a certain field. However, on the one hand, he is of Chinese descent, and on the other hand, he is only 31 years old. After New Year's Day, he will become an SSA, and it will take at most three to five years. His merits should be enough to continue to climb upwards, which means that it is very likely that he will become an assistant special agent director within ten years of entering the FBI. It is not even ruled out that he can complete this stage of change earlier. You must know that Jimmy only takes a few years from a trainee agent to the SSA. Just five or six years.

This is the FBI, one of the most conservative federal agencies in the United States. Letting a Chinese-American under the age of 40 become a senior executive is not a good thing from any point of view, not to mention that this is a super agent with an unparalleled record. Judging from the logic of his current behavior, he has a very clear view of good and evil in certain specific incidents. In an environment like the United States, it is not ruled out that Jimmy will pose a serious threat to some people in the future, so his suppression is almost inevitable. of.

He is not stupid. He already understood it when Ruiz said making history. Of course, there is no need to say the following words.

Jimmy poured the wine and ice cubes in the glass directly into his mouth, biting the ice cubes. Seeing Jimmy's actions, Ruiz knew that it was meaningless to say anything at this time, so he raised the glass to signal. After drinking the little remaining wine, he picked up the bottle and poured wine for Jimmy: "You have been busy for a long time, so relax a little."

Jimmy: "What's the new position?"

Ruiz: "The support team that you originally served as part-time is now separated separately and will also be responsible for communicating with SRT."

Jimmy: "What? No support missions two or three times a year?"

Ruiz shrugged, and then said with a smile: "This is something I have thought about for a long time. It will not let you completely leave the field, and there will not be too many cases to handle. It meets the requirements of all parties. At the same time, if there are other offices Secondment, I will help you arrange it.”
