Jimmy: "James was assassinated by someone from the CIA. Is it definitely related to your case?"
Tom nodded: "I have conducted an investigation since I came back. The people who were directly involved in the assassination have been investigated and I have dealt with them. However, the line has not been confirmed. I only know that it must have been initiated by high-level officials. It may be that several actions have caused people to get angry. Suspicious, they secretly mobilized some people to attack the people around me.
I have arranged for my family to evacuate, and now they are in a safe place, but James was still discovered by them. He has a public official position, and I was careless before and did not remind him in time, so unfortunately he became their target.
Fortunately, they also dealt with it privately. I even suspect that the person who acted last time said that Watson meant the messenger was a smoke bomb set by them. I went to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau to do some research. What they were doing was completely different from what I had done before. If they wanted to deal with James, there was no suitable reason at all. I suspect that someone here is doing things under the guise of Watson. The senior management must know that Watson's project is suitable for smoke bombs. "
Jimmy: "In other words, Watson may not be part of this conspiracy line? Someone deliberately released this clue to pit you against Watson, and then let you kill each other? Do they believe in Watson's ability so much?"
Tom nodded: "It's just a possibility. I haven't completely ruled out his possibility. This matter still needs to be investigated at the headquarters, but whether Watson is suspected or not, he is extremely dangerous, still the same, 伱You must not appear in his sight, the Counter-Terrorism Bureau and the training center, stay away from them."
Jimmy: "I understand."
After drinking two glasses, Tom put down the cup and said, "You don't need to contact me for the next time. I'm going to go back to Langley. There are some things that I have to investigate there. I don't know how long it will take this time. Just wait until I contact you."
After saying that, Tom took the box and left. Jimmy looked at Tom in makeup and felt heartbroken. In the three years since he came here, he seemed to have been involved in a very big conspiracy.
Although Tom didn't say it explicitly, the points he just said reminded Jimmy of several other things. When put together, the things behind this are a bit too much of a conspiracy theory.
The first is Tom's own experience. It is an open secret that the CIA has secret channels to transport people and drugs from abroad to the country. There is nothing to say about this, but although Tom did not say it, he is definitely considered a senior agent in the CIA. Otherwise it would be impossible to adjust the profile for Jimmy and cover it up like that, and he said that he was responsible for the business in Mexico. Even such a senior agent can be killed at will. The internal disputes within the CIA involved here are definitely not small.
Then came the case of the attack on the Vice President in Little Rock. Jimmy participated in the early route investigation at that time, which was already very detailed. The results showed that from the ambush and wire-controlled bombs on the road to the suicide bombs planted underground at the destination in advance, these people The intelligence capabilities are very strong. However, the power of their last bomb was very weak. It was so weak that the Secret Service directly suspected that there was something fishy in this matter. Jimmy had to wait for more than half a year to get his award. It was obvious that the Secret Service was investigating during this time.
Then after the 9/11 outbreak, the government quickly came up with intelligence and quickly launched war and retaliation. Not to mention that the plane had crashed and there were no remains to identify, but relying only on the information about the passengers and crew on the flight, we were able to locate close to 20 suspects in a short period of time and find the final target. How could we not have such intelligence capabilities in advance? Got news of the hijacking?
For planning a plan to hijack planes and crash them into a building at the same time, it is obvious that there are strong forces in the United States helping them, covering up their identities, preparing materials, cooperating with them to investigate information and arranging plans, and boarding planes at three airports in the United States. , hijacking four planes at the same time, this is not something that those in the Middle East can handle alone.
Adding Tom's statement, the CIA's role in this matter is worth pondering.
Of course, these are all Jimmy's own guesses. After all, they are conspiracy theories with no evidence to confirm them. If this conspiracy theory is true, then the CIA alone cannot accomplish this. Other departments must also be involved, and direct involvement of high-level government officials is not ruled out.
If we sort it out based on speculation, then what the U.S. government does in the next period of time is worth pondering. The first is the "Patriot Act", which authorizes federal agencies to search private phones and networks on the grounds of preventing terrorism. , medical, financial and other records, further reducing the restrictions on intelligence agencies.
Secondly, it justified its expansion of global intervention forces and used the 911 incident as a reason to successfully launch a legal war and send troops to Afghanistan. It would not be blocked by domestic anti-war forces and instead won the support of the vast majority of the people.
Finally, the military-industrial complex can grab huge military orders openly. For capitalists, if there are so many reasons, it seems that it is not unacceptable to launch an attack on the mainland. They have no grudge against money. .
Jimmy poured himself a glass of wine, had a good rest, and stopped thinking about this matter. It was useless to think about this kind of thing, and it was useless without evidence. For Tom, it's revenge. After all, if someone wants to kill him, he will always take revenge. Jimmy, I'm sorry, these things have nothing to do with Jimmy. His only relationship with the CIA is the sad stumbling block plan, which is destined to be shut down. plan, and what he wants to avoid is that when the project is shut down, he will be judged by the CIA as a target that needs to be cleaned up. It will not be fun to be hunted down by then.
During this trip, I barely knew the location of Langley. I also took a look at the exterior and some of the offices inside. I didn't gain much. I originally thought that Frank would fight with the CIA, but in the end he ended up with the Vice President. From CIA to It's no fun being the Secret Service, so Jimmy gets out in time before he ends up in it.
After two days of rest, Jimmy finally returned to work. Speaking of which, although he was already an official agent, his working time in the bureau was really short. Not long after becoming a regular agent, he went on a business trip for half a month. Good guy, here we are. He stayed in the Manhattan office for a total of 7 months, and he wandered outside for more than 2 months. Coupled with the administrative leave caused by several cases, Jimmy basically only worked less than half of the time.
"Oh, Jimmy, how did your trip to Dallas go?" Jimmy entered the office and Chris was already there. It was strange. Normally, Chris would be stuck or simply late.
"It's okay, Chris, are there any cases recently?" Jimmy tidied up his desk first. In fact, it was just a simple wipe. There were only two of them in this office, and no one had touched his desk. Everything was arranged well. of.
Chris watched Jimmy busy and said casually: "There have been a lot of murders recently, but most of them are done by the NYPD."
Jimmy listened to Chris' words with some disapproval. When did the FBI have fewer cases, it must have been Chris who simply handed them over to others to handle.
There are not just a few of them in the Manhattan office, but a huge branch with thousands of official agents. The reason why they are rarely seen is because most of them are responsible for counterintelligence and anti-terrorism work, and they are not responsible for criminal crimes. case. There are also some people who are responsible for intelligence work. In addition to some intelligence personnel in various offices and field offices, there are also some covert agents, or spies, who are directly dispatched to various groups or industries.
The agents who are actually responsible for criminal cases only account for about 30% of the total number of agents. Moreover, the criminal cases they are responsible for are mainly federal cases, such as white-collar crimes, financial crimes, organized crime, bank robberies, and interstate crimes. Serial murders and other cases with huge impact.
Of course, what we are talking about here are formal agents. Those external positions are not counted. Each branch has many external personnel. They are employees of federal agencies and are not special agents. They have no law enforcement power.
Chris and Jimmy's team is responsible for homicide cases. Usually, general homicide cases are handled by the local police, in New York it is the NYPD. As the largest police agency in the United States, the NYPD has a large number of detectives and case investigators. They can handle ordinary cases by themselves, but it is not an easy task for them to hand over cases to the FBI. So relatively speaking, it is understandable that the homicide unit here at the New York FBI office has fewer cases.
Jimmy cleared the table and turned to look at Chris, "Let's see what cases there are. I've been idle for too long and want to warm up."
Chris: "It's great to be young and full of energy. Let me look for it." Chris obviously didn't expect that Jimmy would start working on the case as soon as he came back to work. He didn't choose it in advance.
Jimmy could only continue to look at the files. This was the only thing he could do. It was not his turn to select cases.
"Dong dong" Jimmy looked up and Ruiz hooked his fingers at him at the door, then turned and left. Jimmy said hello to Chris, got up and followed him.
The two of them sat facing each other in Ruiz's office. Ruiz had poured Jimmy a cup of coffee on the table in advance. Jimmy picked up the coffee and waited for Ruiz to speak. Just kidding, just looking at this treatment, what Ruiz wants to do for him is definitely not small. Although he has only been in contact with him for a month or two, Ruiz is obviously not someone who will prepare coffee for him in advance.
Ruiz and Jimmy chatted about trivial matters before getting down to business. "Jimmy, have you gone to gun practice recently?"
Jimmy raised his eyebrows: "No, I have been on a business trip to Dallas in the past two weeks, you should know that."
Ruiz crossed his hands on the table, "Are there any cases being handled now?"
Jimmy: "No, I just came back today. You know, the NYPD is so capable, and Chris has been left empty-handed."
Ruiz: "Recently I want to personally investigate T14's stronghold and warehouse. Are you interested in going with me?"
Jimmy was shocked. At this point, how could he still not know what Ruiz wanted to do? ! Damn it, what kind of psychological shadow did you get from being exposed last time? You were a bit petty.
Jimmy leaned forward a little and looked Ruiz in the eyes: "Are you serious?"
Ruiz didn't speak, just looked at Jimmy. The two looked at each other for a while. Jimmy had already seen Ruiz's determination. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then put the coffee cup back on the table and whispered to Ruiz. Izzy said: "Ruiz, are you really sure you want to do this?"
Ruiz nodded, "I have been arranging people to investigate them these days, but it is too difficult to get everyone and everyone. I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but I can't think of anyone else who can help me."
Jimmy: "Have you ever thought of any suitable reason for me to intervene? I'm in the homicide department now, and Chris is in charge there."
Ruiz gritted his teeth and slowly leaned back on the chair, then closed his eyes in pain. He thought for a while, without opening his eyes, but said to Jimmy: "Sorry, I thought too simply. It's okay. You can go back first."
Jimmy looked at Ruiz with a pained expression and felt bad in his heart. He was played by T14 Scar last time, but he didn't expect it to bring such a big blow to Ruiz.
"Ruiz, is it just because of the scar?"
Ruiz opened his eyes and looked at Jimmy, then shook his head, "Two of our informants are missing. Because of our last operation, they conducted a large-scale sweep. One of the informants is mine, and the other one is mine." It was arranged by our undercover agents, but it’s still unclear whether anyone else is missing.”
Ruiz stood up, came to the window and looked outside, "Scar is too arrogant. This is a provocation to me. I must catch him."
Jimmy stood up and walked to Ruiz. He first looked at the scenery outside the window, then turned to look at Ruiz, "Ruiz, do you believe me?"
Ruiz nodded and Jimmy said: "Calm down first and let me think of a solution. Give me some time."
Without waiting for Ruiz's reply, Jimmy turned and left his office.
After entering the FBI, the people Jimmy met were all very good. Whether it was Peter, Ruiz, or even the indifferent Chris, Jimmy was still very willing to be friends with them, not just colleagues. Is there anything I can do to help? Definitely help. But Ruiz's current state is not right. Just now he thought he was just being tricked by Scar, which made Ruiz very angry. Now it seems that the two missing informants are the real triggers.
Jimmy was a little impulsive. He just wanted to tell Ruiz to calm down and stop acting impulsively. As a result, he himself talked a little nonsense. What could he do about this kind of thing? You can't just sneak up and kill everyone inside with a gun.
Jimmy bared his teeth as he walked back to the office, regretting that he was really impulsive. Sitting in his seat, he was not in the mood to look at the files, so he began to think about how to proceed with this matter.
Chris is an old man. Before Jimmy went out, Ruiz knocked on the door. Now when he came back, he looked strange. It seemed that there was something particularly troublesome. He didn't ask. Everyone was just colleagues. At most, they just cared. He didn't As for getting involved in Jimmy's personal affairs. But the timing didn't seem to be good at the moment. Chris looked at the list of cases on the computer, thought for a moment, and closed the system directly, not letting Jimmy do this for the time being.
