(Sorry, the previous chapters have caused trouble for everyone. I will restructure them in the past few days and inform you to review them after the revisions are completed. The first part of this chapter is connected to the previous chapter, and the subsequent chapters will also be restructured. I apologize again.)
It's fun to watch other people ski, but for a complete newcomer who came to the ski resort for the first time, Jimmy was in a miserable state. He didn't prepare any ski equipment at all, and all needed to be rented at the club. For safety, he also needed to hire an instructor to teach for 2 hours. , and today I can only play briefly on the junior slide.
Skis, ski boots, poles, boots, ski clothes, helmets, snowboards, gloves and the most important knee pads and hip pads, etc. Just this pile of equipment is a headache. It seems that I want to study in the United States in the future. If you are skiing, you need to prepare a lot of things.
Basic movements such as standing, walking, sliding, turning, and turning sideways all require repeated practice. Jimmy can only watch the people next to him eagerly as he calls the cable car to the intermediate and advanced ski trails, while he follows another first-timer. Slide slowly on flat ground.
After simply skating on the junior slide accompanied by the coach, and taking the nearby ski lift back to the club, Jimmy called it a day and rested. He had a lunch break and then could slide on the junior slide alone in the afternoon.
It's a pity that he didn't have the chance. At noon, Daniel and Emilian came again. This time they invited Jimmy to return to Marseille. The police station prepared a celebration banquet for them. Of course, the main reason for inviting Jimmy was to thank Jimmy. Helped and rescued Emilian.
As for the people who were shot by Jimmy, Emilian smiled and accepted it. These were achievements, and waste was shameful. Anyway, no matter how much he investigated, the bullets that hit them were all fired from Emilian's gun. As long as the three of them don't tell, no one will know.
Although he was reluctant to leave, Jimmy returned all the rented equipment, packed his suitcases, and returned with Daniel and the others.
The celebration banquet held by the Marseille Police Department is really unique. When Jimmy was a county police officer, he seemed to have never held any celebration banquet. It was just a small group of people, but Marseille directly set up a small banquet hall. There are so many big shots. It seems that the police chief has a very wide network.
Jimmy thought so at first, but then he was slapped in the face. The highest-ranking person on the scene was a general. However, he was not invited by the director, but Daniel. I can't tell that this rough man actually has a general father-in-law. Well, his wife is also very beautiful.
After a banquet in which both host and guest enjoyed themselves, Jimmy rested for one night in Marseille and returned to Paris the next day.
In order to express his gratitude, Daniel specially drove Jimmy to the Paris airport. The journey of more than 700 kilometers, which normally takes 7 hours, was completed in 3 hours. Of course, Daniel's license plate was still fake, and there was no need to worry about being issued a ticket.
Yesterday at the banquet, Jimmy learned that Daniel did not have a driver's license. He really did not have a driver's license. It was permanently revoked and was not allowed to hold a driver's license again.
Good guy, no wonder he drives so wildly. He has no driver's license, the car has a fake license plate, and others can't catch up. It's a perfect closed loop.
"Daniel, if you have the opportunity to come to the United States, remember to come to New York and come see me." Jimmy has practiced it after riding in Daniel's car several times. Now after parking the car, he only feels upset in his stomach and does not feel like vomiting.
Daniel: "Of course, if we travel to the United States, we will definitely notify you."
Jimmy: "That's it. Goodbye." Jimmy took out his FBI business card from his wallet and gave it to Daniel. Not everyone can get this business card. Jimmy rarely gives this business card to people.
After getting off the car and picking up his luggage, Jimmy went directly to the airport. He had booked a ticket by phone last night. The flight at noon landed in the afternoon New York time.
Fortunately, there were no accidents on the flights between New York and Paris, and Jimmy arrived in New York smoothly. When he returned to the apartment, he called the number that Tom had sent text messages to before, but unfortunately no one answered. This was also the only mobile phone number that Jimmy used to contact Tom. He could only wait for Tom to contact him. The CIA ID card was still with Tom. Over there.
Speaking of which, Tom changed his mobile phone number diligently, and he didn't know how many anonymous phones he bought.
Jimmy turned on his FBI cell phone. He didn't bring this cell phone with him when he went to Europe this time. Since he was traveling, of course he had to feel at ease. It would be a big loss if he was disturbed by work information.
It seemed that I was overthinking it. As a newbie at the FBI, no one would contact me during my vacation. I didn't even get a text message after I started my phone.
On Christmas Eve, Jimmy came to the bureau in the afternoon. Because this time it was a night shift, Jimmy had a rest during the day. For the next week, he basically had to maintain this night shift life.
This is the price. When he asked for leave before, Chris just told him that he would be on duty on Christmas Day, but he didn't even notice that this duty was actually a night shift. When he came back to the office from leave, Chris gave him a time schedule, and he was Calculative to the core. If I had known this, it would be better not to take a vacation and just go to work during the day.
Jimmy on duty is no longer a member of the homicide team, but has become a role similar to a support team. Wherever he needs to go, it all depends on the arrangements above. Jimmy seemed to have returned to the days of the county police, sitting at the headquarters waiting for the dispatch center to notify the police to dispatch, but now the dispatch center was replaced by the leader of another team, such as Ruiz in front of Jimmy now.
Jimmy: "Ruiz, is there a case?"
Ruiz: "Well, tonight we plan to raid a port warehouse. Undercover agents have confirmed that it is the drug distribution center of the T14 gang."
Jimmy: "T14? Is there a new gang? Why haven't you heard of it?"
Ruiz: "Originally it was just a small gang, and I had not noticed them before, but one of our undercover agents got a clue by coincidence. The boss of T14, Scar, was once a member of the Mexican gang and was responsible for It just happened to be a smuggling business.
After more than a month of investigation, we have determined that the Mexican gang has a maritime smuggling route from the Port of Manzanillo to New York. This route was taken over by Scar from T14 and distributed to other gangs. In this smuggling line, there is a drug smuggling line hidden, and our target is them. "
Jimmy: "Shouldn't this be handled by the New Zealand Port Authority police?"
Ruiz: "Well, they have been notified, but we must handle the matter. The Port Authority police are monitoring it from a distance now. We will go there at night. The surveillance team is tracking T14 Scar. He will go to the warehouse tonight. When the time comes, everyone will get the stolen goods.”
Jimmy: "Where's the search warrant?"
Ruiz: "Well, I've got it."
Jimmy: "Okay, when are we going there?"
Ruiz raised his hand and looked at his watch: "In one hour, we will go directly to the port warehouse and wait."
Jimmy nodded and Ruiz left their office and went back to get ready. Jimmy didn't have anything to prepare. He just checked all the guns and bullets and it was OK. The body armor was in the trunk of the car.
At 9:30, Jimmy and Ruiz arrived at the warehouse area next to the port. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the Port Authority police monitored the situation on a tower crane, and several nodes were arranged on the ground around the perimeter of the warehouse area. Jimmy looked at the warehouse area. It was already late at night. There were no normal people coming or going in the warehouse area. The lighting was limited to the surrounding high-ceiling lighting. There were no lights on in the warehouse building itself.
Jimmy: "Ruiz, are there any of their people over there at that warehouse?"
Ruiz shook his head: "No, this is their transit warehouse. After the cargo ship arrives at the port, they will put the goods in the container into the warehouse and transfer it normally the next day. But if there are special goods inside, Scar will arrange it People came one night in advance to handle it, and this time we knew there was something here because Scar decided to come by himself this time."
Jimmy: "Then you wait here for a moment. I'll go to the warehouse to check out the terrain first, so I can start my work later."
Ruiz nodded, and Jimmy pulled out his Glock and walked over with a flashlight. There was no lighting in the warehouse itself, and Jimmy certainly didn't turn on the flashlight. He only held it as a backup, so it was more convenient to observe with his inner eye.
When Jimmy arrived at the target warehouse, he scanned it briefly and found no big monitors. This was a good thing and made it easier for him to move. Approaching the rolling shutter door of the warehouse, he looked inside the warehouse and discovered a big trouble. The warehouse was actually empty.
It's not completely empty. You can see some boxes stacked in the warehouse, but from what you can see from your mind's eye, the boxes should be empty. Entity and space have completely different expressions in mind's eye scanning.
Jimmy looked up and looked around. It was indeed this warehouse. It was broken down. Someone leaked the news and they moved the goods in advance.
Continuing to look left and right, walking around the warehouse, Jimmy returned to Ruiz. Now was not the time to tell him, because the warehouse itself had no windows to see inside except the rolling shutter door. He had no way to explain it. What's more, since Scar has done such a good job, not even leaving any normal goods behind, Ruiz's anger will definitely burn Scar when he sees this scene on the spot, and he will be Ruiz's focus later. .
Ruiz answered the phone and said to Jimmy, "Scar has already left."
The two of them returned to the car. It would take at least half an hour to get from Scar's residence to the warehouse, so it was more comfortable in the car.
"Let's go." Ruiz's voice came from Jimmy's walkie-talkie. Ruiz drove in front, Jimmy behind, followed by three Port Authority police cars, sirens blaring and heading towards the warehouse.
Two cars had stopped in front of the T14 warehouse. Several people had already gotten out of the car. They came to the door of the warehouse and opened the rolling shutter. When they heard the siren, they immediately opened the car door and prepared to get in. Then they were stopped by police cars and FBI in front and behind. surrounded by cars.
"This is the FBI. Everyone, stay where you are and raise your hands above your head." The on-board PA system sounded, warning the two cars surrounded in the middle.
Everyone got out of the car, and the Port Authority policeman stood next to the police car with a gun pointed at the T14 member in the middle. Ruiz walked to the car in front and knocked on the window, "Scar, come down and talk."
Scar glared at Ruiz outside the car, gritted his teeth and nodded, opened the door and got out. Scar is a Hispanic, and the lights from the surrounding cars illuminated the outside of the warehouse, and Scar's expression was clearly visible. A healed stab wound extends from the right side of his neck to the right side of his face. This should be the origin of his nickname Scar.
Scar: "I don't know why you came here at this time?"
Ruiz took out a folded search warrant from his pocket. "We need to check your warehouse. This is the search warrant."
Ruiz put the search warrant in Scar's hand and pointed at the warehouse door: "Open the door."
Scar's face has been ugly since he got out of the car. He looked at Ruiz without speaking or moving. Ruiz raised his voice and continued: "I said, open the door!"
Scar turned his head to look at a young man by the door who had not had time to get in the car, and nodded to him. The young man went to pull the rolling shutter and opened the warehouse.
Ruiz and the policemen shined flashlights into the warehouse, and suddenly found that it was basically empty, with only some boxes on the wall. His expression changed drastically, and he ran in quickly. Jimmy didn't move at all. He knew there was nothing in the warehouse. Now that Ruiz and the police had entered the warehouse, he pulled out his pistol and hung it on his right side, staring at Scar and the others.
Ruiz checked several boxes in the warehouse, turned around and walked out. He walked to Scar with a gloomy look on his face: "When did you move away?"
Scar snorted and raised the corners of his mouth, "I don't understand what you are talking about. We are just here to clean up the warehouse for the next batch of goods."
Ruiz gritted his teeth and pointed at the scar, his hands shaking a little.
Scar continued: "You have finished searching the warehouse. Can I leave? Agent, what do you call me?"
Ruiz finally suppressed his anger. He took a deep breath, nodded, turned around and shouted: "Close the team." Then walked to his car.
Scar looked at Ruiz who turned around and smiled, turned around and got into the car. In the gap surrounded by police cars, the two cars drove away without being intercepted.
Jimmy did not disturb Ruiz. He followed Ruiz in his car. The Port Authority police who were with them had already withdrawn their team and the surveillance team following Scar also continued to leave with Scar.
Ruiz drove the car for a while, stopped on the side of the road and got out of the car. Jimmy followed and got out of the car. When he came to Ruiz's side, he took out the cigarette case and lighter and handed them to Ruiz. The man lit a cigarette and stood on the roadside looking at the river next to him without saying anything.
After half a cigarette, Jimmy spoke first: "Ruiz, how many people know that they are coming to search the warehouse?"
Ruiz: "I know what you mean. Stop it. The problem is with the Port Authority."
Ruiz took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped on it, "Since T14 is engaged in maritime smuggling, it will definitely have contact with the port authority. When I informed them, I also specifically warned them to keep it secret. From the warehouse Judging from the empty situation, they came and emptied the warehouse within a short period of time after my notification. This is not something that can be done by just one or two people making a phone call. There must be many people involved in the Port Authority."
Jimmy: "Dealing with the Port Authority?"
Ruiz shook his head: "I would like to, but no, the jurisdiction of the Port Authority is too complicated. Although we have enough authority to intervene, it is too troublesome and can easily be used by people with malicious intentions. That is not investigating negligence and corruption. Instead, it has become a knife in the hands of politicians. The target must still be on T14, and I will continue to keep an eye on them."
After Ruiz finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the car. When he reached the driver's seat, he turned his back to Jimmy and said, "Scar, I will not let him go."
Jimmy watched Ruiz get into the car and drove away without even saying goodbye to Jimmy. He looked up at the high-rise buildings in the distance and the city with shining lights. There were too many things in the darkness.

I'm considering refactoring the first two pages. There may be slightly fewer updates in the past two days. I'll find time to make up for them after I finish refactoring them. Kneel down and apologize!
