North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 803 Attack
The file includes Hank's own account, including how he tracked Jesse Pinkman and was led to the hospital by a phone call. When he came back, the RV suspected to be a drug factory had been destroyed.

Of course, the process of him beating Jesse is also in the file. These are facts and it is impossible not to record them.

Although the DEA has not handled as many cases of this type as the FBI, the basic archival materials are definitely correct, and there are corresponding photos for the details, which can serve as evidence to supplement the detailed descriptions. Jimmy basically restored the entire process of Hank beating Jesse Pinkman just by looking at these materials, but these materials lack some information.

Jimmy looked at Steven. "Have you investigated these key phone calls? Who told Hank that Mary had an accident and went to the hospital? Who called him a minute in advance to warn him? Also, the recycling site where Jesse Pinkman destroyed the RV needs to be investigated. If he didn't call someone in the car, there must be someone else involved, maybe there."

Steven shook his head. "They were all anonymous calls. We've checked them and don't have any useful clues. We only know that the first call was made by a woman, and the warning call should have been made by a man."

Jimmy: "It's not detailed enough. In addition to determining the ownership of the phone number, we also need to locate their location when they called, investigate surveillance, and investigate the information of mobile phones within a few dozen meters. We can always find abnormal situations."

Steven was stunned. "Can you do this?"

Jimmy: "Of course, as long as we have a warrant, we can contact the NSA to obtain important information. Can't you?"

Steven frowned and said, "Of course not. Unless it's a major case, we can't apply for it. And even if we want to apply, we need to go through the headquarters."

Jimmy was in a bit of an awkward position. Although the DEA and the FBI were both federal agencies, their levels were actually quite different. When he handled cases before, many situations had to be approved with special approval, so the investigative data had basically not been restricted artificially. He really didn't expect that this couldn't be done here.

Jimmy: "Okay, then give up. We can start the investigation from Jesse Pinkman. No matter how the people behind the scenes arrange it, they can't get around him. At least they should know him and have a close relationship with him.

This Jesse is very young, which means that even if he has any hidden secrets, he will certainly not be able to hide them for too long like those old foxes. Maybe we only need to follow him for two or three days to record most of the people he contacts on a daily basis. With a simple analysis, we can rule out most of those who are unlikely to plan such a conspiracy, and the rest can be kept a close eye on.

The second investigation can start from the abandoned car park. The RV could have been dismantled there in such a short time. It must have been arranged in advance. Maybe there was a cash transaction. If there were human hands, we can start the investigation from this point. We need to verify the identities of all those who appeared there, and track their whereabouts and the people they came into contact with."

He tapped the information on the coffee table, including the photos of the two killers. "Both killers are dead. They have no identity and no records, so we can just give up on them. It's obvious that these two people came here illegally, and gangsters or drug dealers helped them arrange a route from the border to Albuquerque. Unless someone who received them provides clues, it would be a waste of energy to spend on them."

Steven nodded. This kind of case still needs to be handled by professionals. After just looking at a little bit of information, Jimmy was able to confirm so many investigation directions and the content of the investigation, so they should be able to start.

Seeing that Steven understood what he meant, Jimmy continued, "Hank's ambush shows that the other party has a clear goal and there is an insider who tipped off the enemy. This means that the other party is obviously not united. Some people want the two men to kill Hank, while others don't want them to succeed.

But the person who leaked the information is obviously not enough to cancel the operation or influence the killer internally, so his position should be the second boss or consultant in the team. Such a person may not be revealed at ordinary times, but he should turn against them at the critical moment. If you can find this guy, maybe he can testify, provided that he can be promoted or leave the organization.

Of course, this is difficult. It is rare for an internal employee to turn against the company. However, he must have a conflict with his boss. Maybe under some special circumstances, he can kill his boss and avenge Hank. It depends on whether such an opportunity will appear. "

Steven was somewhat dumbfounded. "You figured this out from that phone call?"

Jimmy shrugged. "I've been in contact with New York gangs. Of course, I'm not familiar with Mexican gangs and your local gangs. I'm not sure if my analysis is correct, but it's at least a clue. Oh, by the way, the other party is very powerful. Don't reveal your identity when investigating. It will be very dangerous."

Steven: “That’s all?”

Jimmy: "If I were to investigate, I would focus on one or two directions. For now, it would be most feasible to start with Jesse Pinkman. As for this lawyer, frankly speaking, this kind of person is difficult to deal with. He obviously has quite a lot of connections in the underworld, and an investigation against him is likely to alert the enemy. If you are really interested, you can send someone to collect the cases he has handled. Excluding those street thugs, the remaining people should be the underworld members he mainly cooperates with. Maybe he is another Tom Hagen."

Steven nodded. "Thanks, Jimmy."

He reached out to take the information, sorted it out and put it back in his bag. Jimmy stood up and took two unopened bottles of mineral water from the side and handed one to Steven. "You still have to drive, so don't drink."

Steven thanked him, took a sip of the water, and chatted for a while before he stood up and prepared to leave. It was a rare occasion for him to come back to Albuquerque, so he had to go home after finishing his business. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Jimmy, can I keep an eye on this guy for a day or two? I'll be back from El Paso as soon as possible."

Trouble, Jimmy thought, "One day, I will go back to New York the day after tomorrow, you know, there are children at home, I miss him."

Steven: "OK, I'll arrange for someone to go with you. You're not familiar with this place."

Jimmy nodded and sent Steven away. It was obvious that after receiving Jimmy's hint, Steven was ready to do something. He was from El Paso, and it was not easy for him to go back to Albuquerque to handle a case. It was not known how he asked for leave from the office, but from his words, it could be seen that he and Hank must have a deep friendship, enough for him to put aside the things in his hands temporarily.

The wounds on his body healed very quickly. The scratches now only had some fresh traces left. As for the wounds, they had also healed. The scabs were very dark in color. Although the blood scabs were not removed, according to the recovery speed of ordinary people, he should have almost recovered now.

Although he is not that close to Hank and Steven, he trusts his own skills and thinks that there will be no danger if he helps them keep an eye on them for a day. There will definitely be no big problems. Besides, Hank's injury almost crippled his lower body. He should do as much as he can, which will also be considered as contributing to his revenge.

The next morning, a DEA agent arranged by Steven came over. He was a young Latino with curly hair. "Agent Yang, I'm Miguel Figo. Agent Gomez arranged for me to monitor and investigate Jesse Pinkman with you."

Jimmy shook hands with him and said hello before going downstairs together. He was a little dumbfounded when he saw the black SUV in front of him. "Is this your assigned car? Is the license plate registered with the bureau?"

Miguel nodded. "It's the bureau's car, but the license plate is a fake one, registered in the name of a decoration company."

"That's good, let's go. By the way, do you know the address?"

Miguel started the car and left the parking lot. "I have checked Jesse Pinkman's information. There are two addresses. One is the house he bought, and the other is a rented house. Because time is urgent, I haven't determined his exact location yet. I can only go and take a look first."

Jimmy nodded. It was already very late when Steven Gomez left yesterday. It was good enough to arrange someone who had read the information in advance. It was really difficult to confirm Jesse's location overnight. "Go to his own house first. Don't stop. Just drive slowly over there."

With the aid of the mind's eye vision, Jimmy didn't need to park close to the house to inspect it, he could just walk past it and take in the inside, but there was no need to tell the young man, just arrange it.

Miguel's driving skills are good, the car is very stable and the speed is fast. In just over half an hour, Jimmy has determined Jesse's location, but it seems that there are a lot of people in the room.

"Don't stop, keep going forward, go around the next intersection twice and come back."

Miguel was about to pull over near Jesse's house, but was stopped by Jimmy. Miguel continued to drive forward as Jimmy asked. When he returned to Jesse's door again ten minutes later, Jimmy pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Put me down, keep driving, pay attention to the time, come back again in ten minutes, drive slower but don't stop, and wait for my call to notify you."

Miguel couldn't help but turned his head to look at Jimmy and asked, "Is there any problem nearby? Do you need support?"

Jimmy: "No, I need you to pass by again and again to confirm if there is anyone watching nearby. Okay, just follow my instructions. Now, stop by the roadside."

Having written down Miguel's phone number in advance, Jimmy got out of the car, walked under the shade of a tree, lit a cigarette, and stood there smoking in a daze.

Miguel may not have noticed it, or may not have thought of it at all, but Jimmy is very sure that there are at least three suspected surveillance locations here, a car, a house opposite, and a surveillance camera next to Jesse's house. As for whether there are other ones, at least they have not been discovered yet.

However, these discoveries made Jimmy more certain that Jesse must be a key figure. If we only look at the intensity of this kind of surveillance or protection, the strength of the gang behind it should not be underestimated. You must know that maintaining surveillance is a very difficult and professional task. The number of members in the FBI surveillance team has always been small, and they are replaced very quickly. The surveillance time will not be very long each time, otherwise the surveillance personnel may have very troublesome psychological problems.

If it was just the surveillance camera, it would be understandable, after all, the surveillance content could be recorded and viewed later, but the surveillance points in the car and the house opposite made it hard to believe that Jesse, a young man, was completely unimportant.

Although it has not been confirmed yet, the car and a person on the second floor of the opposite house were always next to the window when they passed by twice just now, and the curtains were drawn. The reason why he asked Miguel to continue driving in circles was to deepen the impression on the two surveillance people, and perhaps they would take action.

A few minutes later, Miguel's car drove over again, not very fast, which was enough time for the surveillance personnel to match the model and check the license plate. "Miguel, do it again."

"Miguel, speed up and leave. Be careful on the road. Park the car where there is surveillance, and then you go and watch the surveillance. By the way, don't go back to the DEA."

When Jimmy saw Miguel passing by Jesse's house for the fourth time, he immediately asked him to speed up and leave in order to give the surveillance person an illusion. He believed that the other party must have noticed Miguel's abnormal behavior. In addition, since he was a Hispanic, such an illusion might make them behave irrationally.

Jimmy was dozens of meters away from Jesse's house. He didn't hide at all, but stayed under the shade of the tree. When Miguel sped away, Jimmy stared at the house opposite Jesse. His position was just right for him to use his mind's eye vision to see the room on the roadside of the house. The person sitting next to the window was now holding the phone to his ear, obviously planning to do something.

In order to prevent Miguel from being killed, he must let Miguel leave and record the other party's possible actions in a place with surveillance. These are all evidence. Even if they cannot be used as direct evidence, they can allow the DEA to lock on these people, and there are many things that can be done afterwards.

However, Jimmy was still wrong about one thing. The other party might have really discovered Miguel's car, but they were more interested in Jimmy who had been standing under the shade of the tree for a while.

Soon two black street thugs came towards him from the opposite direction. Jimmy originally thought they were just passing by, but one of them bumped into him with his shoulder as he passed by Jimmy, and the other turned around and pounced on him. The two men's movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that this was not the first time they had done this.

The incident happened suddenly, but Jimmy reacted quickly. He slightly turned sideways to let his right shoulder collide head-on with the opponent's shoulder. He reached out and grabbed the opponent's hand that was trying to grab his clothes and pulled it down hard. He also bent down slightly, stepped back with his right leg, and raised his knee hard to hit the opponent's lower abdomen, knocking one down with one move.

The second person who pounced on Jimmy did succeed, but he only hugged Jimmy's upper body, including his hands. However, he did not protect Jimmy's head, and a headbutt hit his forehead and nose directly, and the hands holding Jimmy loosened instantly.

Jimmy pulled the man's arm and sideways with force, then tripped the man's calf with his foot. With this simple move, he threw the man directly onto the grass under the shade of the tree.

"FBI, don't move."

Jimmy shouted and pulled out his Glock and pointed it at the two men. The two unlucky guys never thought that they would be knocked down in one move and had no chance to resist at all.
