Jones took the equipment and went out to follow Gary, Peter and Diana returned to their respective positions to deal with things, and Jimmy sat in his position waiting for John Butler. John had already called Jimmy in the morning, and he came to Federation Square around 10 o'clock.
Fortunately, as a member of the Secret Service, it was okay for John to come upstairs, and there was no need for Jimmy to go down to pick him up.
John entered the office and saw Jimmy at the front, "Hi, Jimmy."
Jimmy looked up and saw John. He was not wearing a uniform today, but a suit and holding a silver-white box in his hand.
Jimmy stood up and shook hands with John: "Hi, John, long time no see. Let's go to the conference room to chat."
John followed Jimmy upstairs to the conference room.
Jimmy stopped by and took a bottle of mineral water from the pantry and gave it to John, "John, why did you come to see me this time? Your Secret Service is very busy."
John: "Well, it's true, but it's a good thing for you."
John put the box on the table, opened it, took out a picture frame and handed it to Jimmy.
John: "Thank you for your help in the last mission. I'm sorry. I was supposed to invite you to Washington to receive it, but for some reasons, this award came a little late."
Jimmy looked at the commendation certificate above and simply wrote to Jimmy Young, thank you for your outstanding contributions to the U.S. Secret Service. The undersigned is Secret Service Director Brian Stafford.
Jimmy: "Thank you, please make a special trip over."
Jimmy put the certificate of commendation on the conference table and said to John, "I think you came here specially not just to send a certificate of commendation, John."
John: "Well, it's mainly because there are some things that are inconvenient to say on the phone. Regarding the accident that happened to the Vice President in Little Rock last time, you didn't tell anyone else, right?"
Jimmy thought for a moment: "Probably not, except for James. You know, there is no way I could hide such a big thing from the director."
John: "As for James, there is no problem. If you haven't said it to anyone else, don't say it again in the future. There is a confidentiality agreement here that you need to sign."
Jimmy signed a confidentiality agreement, and John took it back, put it in the box, then closed the box and put it next to the chair.
Jimmy: "It sounds serious from what you said? It's been almost a year now, can you tell me the specific situation? That was the first time I encountered an explosion."
John: "Well, since you are already an FBI, you can talk about it. You should have learned about explosion scene identification at the FBI academy, right? The attack on the Vice President was very strange. Their deployment in front, and The final ambush was good, but the two bombs were seriously unbalanced. At that distance, our people were not seriously injured, and the two bombs had only a little power. We already knew something was wrong at that time."
Jimmy: "Well, I didn't feel it at the time, but after learning about the explosion, I didn't believe that the people around them, especially their targets, would be intact after two explosions at a distance of 20 meters."
John: "We also started investigating based on this suspicion. The investigation of the scene and related investigations in Little Rock ended very early. After that, we conducted some verifications on the intelligence system, and then the tragedy in September happened. .
….
The cross-investigation of the September tragedy by multiple agencies revealed some problems. Several clues were slightly related to several other explosions, such as the World Trade Center explosions in 1993 and 1996, the hijacking in 1998, and last year's incident with the Vice President. Attack eucalyptus. "
Jimmy: "So many? Are they all made by people from the Middle East?"
John: "Based on the clues, yes. But we still traced it based on the clues, and then found that there seemed to be something wrong with our intelligence system. It is almost done now, so your award has been postponed for half a year. Now Just sent it out."
Jimmy: "Oh, it seems that the story behind this case is very complicated, but thank you for telling me this."
[Recommended, @
. Come and try it soon. 】
John: "If you hadn't killed the suspect at that time, I don't know how serious the consequences would have been. In fact, it was still very thrilling at that time. Well, my mission is completed and I need to return as soon as possible. That's it."
Jimmy and John stood up and shook hands, then walked John into the elevator.
When Jimmy returned, Peter and Diana were already in the conference room, and Peter held Jimmy's certificate of commendation in his hand.
Peter: "The Secret Service people are gone?"
Jimmy: "Well, he gave me this and signed a confidentiality agreement."
Peter: "Well, it seems to be a very important matter. Well, you have also met the person you are waiting for. Contact Jones quickly and go to monitor with him."
Jimmy: "Yes, sir" Jimmy took the photo frame of the commendation certificate, put it on his table, and then went out.
Jimmy didn't have a car yet, so he took a taxi and rushed to Jones' location, and then got into the surveillance car.
Jimmy: "How's it going, Jones?"
Jones: "The target has been identified. Gerald Dorsett, following him now, he just entered the front gallery."
Jimmy: "Okay." Jimmy also picked up the headphones and started staring at the monitor.
The next day, there was a situation analysis meeting.
Peter: "Jones, tell us about the progress."
Jones: "Gerald Dorsett, a French-American, was a loan shark. He used company funds to lend money. If you couldn't pay back the money on time, he would burn down your office.
Gary met Gerald yesterday. He spent the rest of the time at the securities company and saw no one else. It is speculated that Gary owed money to Gerald and later used this painting to repay the debt.
The man Gerald Dorsett brought with him, Joshua, a veteran, matched Juliana's description. He should be the painting he went to steal. Later, because Juliana came back early, he was found with bruises on his face. The marks should have been inflicted by Juliana.
Gerald had been traveling to various high-end galleries yesterday. I chatted with someone from one of the galleries. Gerald wanted to sell them a painting, which happened to be Haustenberg's, but he didn't say the name of the painting. "
Peter: "Have you found Gerald's stronghold? Have you found any traces of the painting?"
Jones: "No."
Peter: "It seems we have to let him take out the painting by himself. Okay, let's do this for today. Let's think about how to draw him out."
Peter walked back to his office with his phone in hand, scrolling through it.
When it comes to connections, Peter is really good. In just a short while, Peter found someone who was willing to help. She was a purchaser at a certain gallery and had access to Gerald Dorsett.
Under Peter's arrangement, they finally got in touch with Gerald, and asked Gerald to bring the painting to the gallery on the grounds that a rich man was willing to acquire it.
