Peter was not in the office, but Ruiz was. He did not refuse and came to Jimmy's office quietly. Although Ruiz had never drank pure tea before and had only drank English milk tea, he was very considerate and did not directly say that the tea Jimmy made was really bad. Jimmy also tasted a cup himself and it was indeed not good.
In fact, the tea was pretty good. I bought a pack for more than ten dollars, which weighed half a catty. Jimmy didn’t know much about tea, so he consulted and learned about it when he bought the tea. He said it wouldn’t taste bad, but it was definitely not as good as Mary and Mary. The tea shop owner makes it so well.
In fact, the main thing is to chat, ask about Chris by the way, and see if Ruiz knows Vince. Among the people he knows so far, if he wants to lend a hand to help, Chris seems to be the only one. It's over. Although neither Hughes nor Chris would allow him to participate, it was always a good idea to inquire more about things and become more familiar with them, so as to be prepared.
As for Ruiz, he is also worried now. A few months ago, he and Jimmy tracked Reina Franjes of the Dixie family. Jimmy shot several people to death, but Reina ran away. Later, Dixie was Bian seems to have disappeared for a while. Recently, an informant said that they appeared again, but unfortunately no specific clues have been found. You must know that Reina was killed by Jimmy at the beginning. It is not sure whether the Dixie family arranged for Reina to continue to do it this time. If it was him, would he have any thoughts of revenge?
Jimmy also remembered this, but what he paid attention to was not the Dixie family's drug trafficking criminal record, but that Renner. He had not forgotten the tone when he asked James to inquire about the previous case of Renner. How unhappy. This Reiner was already on his blacklist. Unfortunately, he had never seen him again since he let him run away that time.
Now the Dixie family has shown up again. It seems that their period of recuperation has passed. I wonder if it will be Reina this time. Unfortunately, Jimmy couldn't help in the early stage even if he wanted to. Intelligence investigation is not his specialty, so he should wait for Lu I'll wait until Izzy has other clues.
It's less than a month after Christmas and New Year's Day, and many activities are not very intense. Ruiz seems to be a little leisurely now. In fact, the main reason is that the main force of their investigation is on the front personnel.
The two chatted for more than half an hour. Ruiz left Jimmy's office and went back. Jimmy went to the bathroom and came back to continue reading the information. Speaking of which, there will be New York Fashion Week in a while. If you have time, you can join in the fun.
——
It's been two full days, and Chris hasn't come back, not even a phone call. Jimmy only knows the man's name is Vince, but he doesn't know anything else. There's no way to check it in the system because there are too many people named Vince. Now he has no idea what Chris and the others are doing, and he doesn't know what he can do.
The emergency team has very few things to do. The warning light on the door has never been on. Jimmy has spent the past two days in a daze in the office. It is very boring, but he does not dare to look at the files anymore. When Reese said that, Chris asked him to rest for a while. If he was really mentally disturbed, he would be finished.
Speaking of psychopathy, it seems like, maybe I should talk to Mary? We haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I don’t know how she and Jenna are doing. But it's not good to go to work after working hours. There is only one person in their group. If he leaves here, there will be no one on duty. It seems that we can only plan for a weekend.
While he was thinking about it, the phone on Jimmy's desk rang. He picked up the phone and heard Hughes's voice, "Jimmy, come here." After that, he hung up.
When a job came, Jimmy immediately hung up the phone, picked up his clothes and walked to Hughes' office.
Hughes: "Jimmy, there is an event over there at the NYPD and they need our support. You can go over there."
Jimmy: "What activity?"
Hughes: "The memorial service for the Dwight High School shooting will be at 10 a.m. tomorrow, and then they will have a press conference on the shooting."
Jimmy swallowed: "Didn't I reveal my secret by attending? It's never been announced that I was the gunman who killed him."
Hughes: "It's just because you did it that I let you go. You don't need to speak. You just need to let the NYPD people take a photo of condolences. Don't worry, they will take care of it before releasing it."
Only then did Jimmy understand what Hughes meant: "Oh, I know. Then I'll go directly there tomorrow morning."
Hughes waved his hand and Jimmy left his office. The NYPD probably wanted to do some publicity or something. After all, school shootings still have a huge impact. Although there are many school shootings in the United States every year, most of them don't. Damn it, two students died at once in New York this time, the impact is too bad.
If you cooperate with the show, you can do this. As long as the NYPD puts in a code when promoting it, there will be no problem. Since Hughes dares to let him go, he will definitely handle it.
The next day, Jimmy specially put on a black suit, including shirt, tie, suit, and leather shoes, all black. He bought white carnations and a white flower on his chest at a flower shop on the road, which was complete.
Arriving at Dwight Middle School, a large number of people, including students and parents, had gathered in front of the school building where the shooting occurred. Jimmy saw a dozen NYPD people gathered nearby. He walked over and showed his ID. stood with them. The police station was well prepared, including the white flowers on his chest and the ones in his hands. Jimmy didn't know it, he would have come directly if he had known it.
When the time came to 10 o'clock, starting from the school, spokespersons from the city government, NYPD, and some other organizations spoke one by one. Of course, except for the mayor's spokesperson who spoke more, everyone else only spoke a few short sentences, most of which were sad. Mourning the dead.
Afterwards, Jimmy and the NYPD people laid flowers and observed silence in a specially separated space next to the teaching building. Soon, the place was covered with various flowers, and several students looked very sad. They should be friends of the two dead students.
After the memorial service ended, the people present dispersed. After Jimmy greeted the NYPD people, he left. The subsequent NYPD press conference on the Dwight Middle School shooting was at the NYPD headquarters, not at the scene, so it had nothing to do with Jimmy.
After returning home and changing into a set of clothes, Jimmy had lunch outside before returning to the office and spent the whole morning fishing.
When he got to the office and turned on the TV as a background, he continued to fish, and then his good mood suddenly disappeared. The news briefly reported on the NYPD press conference, and then broadcast the live memorial service. Then Jimmy discovered that the live video did not code him. Fortunately, he never took off his sunglasses, although he looked different from the NYPD uniform team. big.
Fortunately, the news only briefly introduced the memorial event and ended it without any in-depth coverage of the shooting. Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, it is not good news for someone to report the killing of a suspect. Even if the FBI itself does not require the identity of the agents to be kept secret and they have to take the initiative to show their ID when handling the case, Jimmy is not willing to kill the suspect because of it. Be widely publicized.
Perhaps subconsciously, he doesn’t want to become a public figure. The only time Jimmy gave an interview in the past few years was when he saved a life when he was a county police officer. Since then, in various case interviews and police station promotions, Jimmy has pushed and pushed whenever he can. He also covered his face with big sunglasses and took photos of himself as a police officer.
Jimmy changed several channels in the afternoon, and most of the reports had the same angle. It seemed that the NYPD's publicity department had really put some effort into not letting the TV reporters mess around.
Jimmy was watching various news channels boredly when the phone suddenly rang with an unfamiliar phone number.
"Hi, is this Agent Jimmy Young?" There was a man's voice on the other side of the phone.
Jimmy: "Yeah, who are you?"
"NYPD, Detective Chuck, we just met the other day."
Jimmy: "Oh, Detective Chuck, what's the matter? Are there any clues from the last case?"
Chuck was depressed by Jimmy's question. Didn't he tell Chris that the case was sealed?
Chuck: "Oh, it's not that case, it's a new case. Chris is not convenient right now, so he gave me your phone number. Are you convenient now?"
Jimmy frowned. He was the only one in their group now. Although it was boring, he couldn't leave casually.
Jimmy: "Is it urgent?"
Chuck: "Yeah."
Jimmy: "Sorry, I can't leave for the time being due to some inconvenient reasons. If it's convenient, please come to Federation Square."
Chuck thought for a while and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Just before getting off work, Chuck came over with the beautiful police officer Nia Miller. Jimmy received them in the office, and Nia handed him a folder.
Chuck watched Jimmy open the file and began to explain the case: "These are two murder cases. The first case was a week ago. A plastic surgeon was shot dead in the living room of his home. The scene was handled very cleanly. We were not at the scene. Find the clues left by the gunman; the second case was yesterday. A taxi driver was found dead in a taxi. The car was parked in a small alley. Because it was a taxi, there were too many fingerprints left on the car. It has extraction value. There are photos of the scene in the archives.”
Jimmy nodded. He was also looking through photos of the scene. In the first case, the doctor fell in the living room and was shot in the chest and head. The data showed that he was shot three times. In the second case, the taxi driver was more straightforward and was shot once in the head. , but the angle was from the right rear, and it seemed that the person who fired the shot was sitting on the right side of the back seat of the taxi.
Jimmy: "Please go ahead."
Chuck: "We investigated the interpersonal relationship of the two deceased people and the surveillance surrounding the death. They themselves had no intersection, but we found the same person from the road surveillance, dressed in different clothes, but with the same characteristics. The surveillance video behind the file Screenshot. The gender of the target is unknown. He has long hair and wears a soft hat. His face is as seen from the surveillance. He is 175-180cm tall and is carrying a guitar case. In both cases, he was found on surveillance within the time range. His clothing It’s different, the same person is carrying the guitar case. Based on the body shape and stride length, it’s basically the same person. In addition, the shoulder-length hair is also a basis for judgment.”
Jimmy frowned and looked at the screenshot of the surveillance video. It was too unclear. One thing to say, in a super metropolis like New York, couldn't the cameras be updated? This effect really makes people unable to complain. Even if the front appears in the surveillance, only the general shape of the face can be seen. He asked: "Do you have the original video file?"
Next to her, Nia took out a laptop from her bag, opened it and played two surveillance videos. Well, it's not that there was a problem with their ability to take screenshots, but it was night time when the incident occurred. The surveillance was not clear and the gray environment was superimposed on it, so it was really hard to see the face.
Chuck: "This person is a very strong suspect. We have conducted some investigations around the crime scene, but there are no other clues. And because there are so many people carrying guitar cases in New York, no one usually pays attention, so no one Impressive.
Because the gunman's modus operandi was very professional, it does not appear to be an accidental crime, so I hope to use your resources to investigate. "
Jimmy frowned. It's not easy to find. To find someone in the FBI database, you must at least have certain conditions. The information provided by the NYPD is not reference at all. He thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There is no way to check this from the criminal database. The conditions are too vague. At least there needs to be clear content before calling the database. Now we don't even know whether the person is male or female. Not sure."
From the surveillance camera, the body shape is covered up because he is still wearing thick clothes. The height data is also calculated based on the height of objects beside the road. From the surveillance camera, you can see the hair swinging behind the hat, but in New York, long hair It cannot be used to distinguish men and women, because there are too many artistic men here, and you can see all kinds of hairstyles.
Jimmy continued to ask: "Are your on-site investigations still continuing?"
Chuck nodded, "The first case has been investigated for two rounds. Yesterday's case also arranged for several patrols to interview surrounding residents and investigate possible surveillance in surrounding residential areas and shops. There are no new findings yet. .”
Jimmy: "Where was this taxi's previous route?"
Chuck: "We have also investigated and found no trace of anyone getting on or off the bus. It is difficult to determine where the gunman got on the bus."
Jimmy shook his head: "I don't have any ideas. If you want to call the data, the current conditions are not enough. At least there are other clues to deal with."
Jimmy closed the file and gave it to Nia. He looked at Chuck and said, "Chris has been away from the bureau recently due to some things. I can't help you much for the time being. If you have any new clues, let me know. Let’s investigate again to see if there is any information about relevant people.”
Chuck nodded, stood up, shook hands with Jimmy, and left with Nia.
Jimmy also returned to his computer. Although he told Chuck that he couldn't investigate without clues, he still wanted to try. The characteristic of this suspect was that he had no characteristics. He was 175-180cm tall, which was just the average height. This was in the criminal database. There are too many people in the area.
His first inquiry was about guitars. The suspect carried a guitar case with him. If he was a professional killer, then the case should not contain a guitar, but a weapon. But since he chose the guitar case as a cover, it means that he is very familiar with guitars. , otherwise whether it is a travel bag or a fishing rod box, it is a good concealment tool.
If there is really a guitar inside, it means that this person is very familiar with guitars, and does not even rule out that he is a musician or singer by profession. It is not impossible for a singer in an underground bar to occasionally make a guest appearance as a killer. After all, here But in New York, anyone can exist.
After several inquiries, Jimmy found nothing. It was not surprising. Although the FBI database was relatively complete, many criminal information was very sparse. It was impossible to locate the criminals with only two clues: height and guitar. However, there were some clues in the results. Shao used to be in the entertainment industry, but the scope was too large and there was no reference.
After looking at the time, Jimmy tidied up, turned off the computer and prepared to go home. After getting in the car and leaving Federation Square, Jimmy dialed Roland's number again, but still couldn't get through. It seemed that Roland had indeed returned to his own world and never came back. After checking the crystal ball last time, Jimmy has dialed his phone basically once a day, hoping to get through. He knows best how to use this thing from Roland's world. Jimmy is a little too careful, and he is worried about this tendency. Things on the supernatural side, if used improperly, may have very serious consequences.
(The low-grade fever is almost gone, but I’m almost dead. It took me two days to come up with this one. I’m really sorry. I really didn’t save the manuscript and I can’t write more. Please give me some rest.
The antigen is still negative after three days, and I don’t know what’s going on. I hope it’s not sheep, but just the flu.
In addition, regarding the previous scrap, it is the part behind the Red Flame Battlefield. If you are interested in taking a look, I will post a sequel. However, because that part of the plot has been deleted, not everyone has seen it, and I am not sure whether posting this extra will cause another overturn.
If you are interested, please leave a message here, about 6,000 words. )
