In the end, Jimmy didn't call Hughes, mainly because he didn't know what to say. No matter what, Mahone was the boss of the homicide team. Although he had just arrived, now was the time for him to establish his authority. At this time, Jimmy If you let your superiors put pressure on you, something will definitely happen, something will happen internally.
Jimmy investigated all the addresses, and after marking them on the map, he started investigating from lower Manhattan in order from south to north.
There are more than a dozen ships involved, and only a few clubs are involved. It is not a big problem. The biggest problem for Jimmy and the others is actually how to get them to be willing to provide information, because for the clubs, protecting the privacy of their guests is what they consider most important.
】
Mahone doesn't need Jimmy to lead the way in. He has been an agent for a long time and certainly knows how to communicate with people in these places. In fact, Jimmy is more like a driver now.
Ma Hong did not go in with great fanfare. Instead, he communicated with a security guard and asked him to notify the supervisor inside to come out for a meeting. After briefly confirming his identity, Ma Hong made a request to contact the club management. He looked at the three people in front of him. The FBI agent in a sharp suit and the security director are also a bit of Muggles, so they can only enter the club to make contact on their own.
It would be better for the three of them not to go in. If they disturb other guests, they will be in trouble. Although it is not certain whether there are guests inside now, the security director must be careful.
After a while, a tall middle-aged beauty wearing a white women's suit walked out. She came to Ma Hong who was standing at the front and shook hands: "Michelle Levi, the manager here."
Mahone shook hands with her, then took out his ID and showed it: "FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone, these two are Felicia and Jimmy. Ms. Levi..."
Michelle: "Just call me Michelle."
Mahone: "Okay, Michelle, can you show us around your club?"
Michelle was stunned for a moment. She originally thought she would talk about things straight to the point, but then nodded: "Of course, please."
Michelle took Mahone in front, Jimmy and Felicia behind, and the four of them entered the club together. It was Jimmy's first time in a place like this, so he just took the opportunity to take a look. There were people explaining things in front, both public and private. manage. Although he said that he is not a rich person, it seems that he still has enough money to rent a yacht, and he can take Nia out for a spin if there is a chance in the future.
Mahone: "Can I see your marina?"
Michelle nodded and led them out of the club building and into the dock area behind.
Jimmy watched Ma Hong communicate with Michelle and was really dissatisfied. Although in his opinion, Ma Hong still looked very serious, but it was obviously very in line with the senses of a mature woman like Michelle. To be honest, if there were no As for Felicia and Jimmy, maybe she would want something to happen.
Michelle did not refuse Mahone's request. There were not many boats staying at the pier. Mahone listened to Michelle's introduction. Later, Felicia and Jimmy began to check the club's three small yachts. , in fact, it looks more like a fishing boat, with a driver's cab and a small cabin in the front, and a deck in the back.
There were two ships with the same hull number at the dock. Mahone turned to look at it. Felicia nodded. Then he asked the key question: "Michelle, do these ships have GPS? There are also surveillance videos."
Michelle turned to look at Ma Hong, and then understood the purpose of their coming. After thinking for a while, she nodded: "For safety, each ship has a black box, which records the coordinates and time of their travel. As for monitoring, I'm sorry, due to customer privacy considerations, there is no monitoring on all yachts."
Ma Hong: "Michelle, we are here to check the trajectory records of the three yachts with you. Please help us."
Michelle pursed her lips tightly and kept thinking in her mind, "Can you tell me why?"
Mahone: "There were two incidents involving several yachts that were on the Hudson River at the time. We have obtained the ship's hull number from the Port Authority."
Michelle shook her head: "This involves our customers' private information. I need to ask for permission. Please wait."
Michelle turned and left, while Mahone and Jimmy waited there. It can be seen that Michelle is very professional. Even though she has a certain affection for Mahone, she still does not forget her responsibilities.
Standing at the dock and looking at the Hudson River in front of him, Jimmy's thoughts became more and more intense. If it weren't for the business, he would have wanted to directly inquire about the rental price. I had gone shooting fish on the Mississippi River with Kagg before, but I had never really enjoyed fishing. It would even be nice to think about fishing in the sea. The thought comes out as soon as it comes out, and only a young person like him who has no psychological burden can do this.
After waiting for a long time, Michelle came back with two people who looked like technicians behind her, each carrying a box.
Michelle: "Please provide the ship number, and my colleagues will read the relevant information." At this time, her expression and voice had returned to their normal state, and they were less intimate and more business-like. look like.
Felicia took out the information and pointed at the two docked cruise ships, and the two of them entered them respectively.
Felicia: "There is another ship that is not at the dock currently, the one with tail number 15."
Michelle: "That boat is not here currently. It is a long-term charter yacht. It left the club a week ago and is expected to return next week."
Ma Hong nodded: "Thank you very much."
It takes a long time to read the data, and with the transcoding, it was nearly an hour before the two staff members got the data, but it also made Jimmy and the others understand that investigating other yacht clubs later would be a big trouble.
After thanking Michelle again for her cooperation, they did not continue. Instead, they returned to the office with these two pieces of data. As the first sample, they needed to get familiar with it as soon as possible. Michelle said that this was considered the first sample in their industry. It is a common practice, so with this record, it will be much easier to deal with other people after you understand how to deal with it.
But when they started reading the data, they discovered that the GPS positioning error was a bit large. The Hudson River was not very wide, and the actual position recorded on the GPS record was not accurate as to whether it was on the bank or on the other side of the river. edge position. This is a big joke. If the yacht does not dock, it is impossible for the people on it to fly directly to the shore. Without monitoring, it is currently impossible to determine based on these GPS records whether the two ships docked when passing through the Hudson River Park.
A clue was interrupted again, and there was no need for the subsequent yacht club to continue the investigation, and the case plunged into darkness again.
Jimmy looked at Mahone, who was deep in thought, and felt something was wrong. Was he using too much force? Yes, serial murder is serious, but is Mahone getting a little too involved?
Felicia looked at Mahone, her eyes seemed to twinkle. She must know something. Jimmy was looking at her from the side. Frankly speaking, the black girl Jimmy was not interested, but Mahone's current state made him feel that it seemed that You should find a way to find out about Ma Hong. Such a boss is very stressful.
Jimmy: "I went out to smoke a cigarette." Jimmy didn't wait for their reply, turned around and left the office. Mahone seemed to have not heard Jimmy's voice at all. He had been deep in thought, and Felicia turned to look at Jimmy. , glanced at Ma Hong again, but did not move.
Jimmy called the best tool man, Lu Yins, and invited him to go downstairs to smoke together. Well, this reason was really ridiculous. Everyone was on the same floor, and they still had to call to make an appointment. Everyone knew he was busy.
Luyinzi didn't let Jimmy wait long. After smoking two cigarettes, he went downstairs and came to Jimmy's side, "Give me one."
Jimmy took out the cigarette case and gave Lu Yinzi a Huazi. Ever since he came to Manhattan, he had been buying Huazi from an old store in Chinatown. However, the cigarette case was so ugly that he had to disassemble it every time. Put it in your cigarette case.
Taking out the lighter given by the homeless man and reaching out to light Luyinzi's cigarette, Jimmy said: "Luyinzi, do me a favor."
Luyinzi nodded with a cigarette in his mouth, and Jimmy continued: "Help me check my current boss, Alexander Mahone. I want to see his information."
Luyinzi glanced at Jimmy, then looked to the roadside, "What's the problem?"
Jimmy: "Not sure yet, it's just that he makes me uncomfortable."
Luyinzi: "Would you like to come to my place? I can go find Hughes."
Jimmy: "No, that's not the case, you know me. I don't care if a boss comes, even if it's airborne and a complete stranger, it doesn't matter.
In the past few days since he came, he was fine before, but since we started investigating the eucalyptus, I suddenly found that he seemed to be in a bad state. How should I put it, during the investigation process, he was too nervous. If I didn't know that the incident had just happened, I would have suspected that he knew the suspect's situation, or even that he was the suspect. "
Lu Yinzi thought for a while and took two puffs of cigarette before saying: "I think I roughly understand his state. I will check it for you and don't contact anyone else."
Luyinzi threw the cigarette butt on the ground, turned around and went upstairs. Jimmy didn't move, and still stood there until he finished smoking his cigarette.
Jimmy was very conflicted. This was the first time he took the initiative to investigate his boss. He was still worried about his condition, not for himself. However, this kind of behavior was really unacceptable. The last time he investigated Nia's information, he had already been punished. I have been struggling for a long time, and now I have asked Lu Yinzi to help me investigate Ma Hong. It would be strange if I didn't struggle.
As a team, Jimmy doesn't want his boss to be in a tight situation. If something goes wrong, it may cause greater damage, whether to himself or the game.
Jimmy threw the cigarette butt on the ground, turned around and went upstairs. After a while, Mahone must have returned to normal. After all, there are no clues now, and his mind should be out of his mind.
Sure enough, both Mahone and Felicia were sitting in their respective seats and were continuing to check information. These were mainly information from the Manhattan office and the cases they had handled before. When Jimmy first arrived at the homicide unit, he also spent a lot of time. I have been familiar with these for a long time, and even stopped the progress of familiarizing myself with the materials because of the disgusting plot, so as not to become mentally abnormal.
Time passed slowly, and after three days passed smoothly, bad news came again. The nypd once again forwarded a corpse, the same female body as the previous two corpses, but this time the corpse was not in the Hudson River Park, but on the riverside in Jersey City next door.
After receiving the call, the Jersey City Police Department checked the identity of the female body but was unable to verify it. Finally, they contacted the NYPD, and the same three cases were successfully merged.
This time Mahone did not go to the scene to investigate in person. He directly asked Felicia to contact the New Zealand Port Authority to re-investigate the information about the ships on the Hudson River last night. Yes, after they saw the location of the body, they immediately It is certain that if these three eucalyptus incidents were caused by one person, he must have used a boat to move them on the river.
The scene where the third female body was found in Jersey City was the same as the two in the park. There was no surveillance information around. The NYPD had already investigated it once with the cooperation of the Jersey City Police Department.
After Felicia got the shipping information from the New Zealand Port Authority, she compared it with the ships discovered last time. Three yachts that had appeared in the past few days surfaced.
There was a smile on Mahone's face, and finally it was no longer gloomy. Jimmy looked at the clubs corresponding to the three boats. One of them belonged to the club they went to two days ago and was rented on a long-term basis. That yacht.
Jimmy: "Shall we investigate now?"
Ma Hong shook his head: "The GPS position is meaningless. What we need is their customer list, and they will definitely not give this information."
Jimmy: "How to deal with it?"
Mahone said nothing, stood up and looked out the window.
He is so thoughtful, there are really too many twists and turns in his head. Jimmy looked at Mahone standing at the window looking outside, and really couldn't guess what his plan was.
Lu Yinzi has not yet given Jimmy a file, and he has not pushed for it. His relationship with Lu Yinzi has gone far beyond the ordinary relationship between colleagues. If there were no problems, Lu Yinzi would never forget to give him the information. , must be investigating what he thinks is wrong now. It's just that Jimmy has no idea what's going on now. Ever since Mahone arrived, everything seems to have gone wrong. Is his bad luck coming again?
Mahone: "Jimmy, do you know any rich people? Preferably someone with a yacht club membership."
Jimmy: "No, it's my first time to go to this kind of club, but I can ask someone."
Mahone: "Please keep it confidential."
Jimmy: "Well, our man, Peter from the white-collar group, should know a lot of people like this."
Mahone: "I know him, you go ahead."
Jimmy turned and left the office. He hadn't seen Peter for a long time. It was rude to make a phone call. He might as well go there by himself. If the people around Jimmy knew wealthy people, apart from Nia and her father, the only ones left were Peter and Hughes. Forget about Hughes, Peter is easier to talk to.
