Jimmy left the motorcycle shop on the grounds of thinking about it. Although the Gold Wing was a bit expensive, the price was not the reason Jimmy considered it. The main reason was that he usually had to go to see Nia. It would be more convenient to drive, so he had to consider the motorcycle. Will Nia accept it? Not everyone likes to ride a motorcycle.
Jimmy was smoking and walking on the road. There is everything here in Manhattan, not only motorcycle stores, but also various car manufacturers have stores here.
Jimmy looked for a yellow page and found the Chevrolet 4S store. He wanted to take a look at the Suburban. He had driven one at the Washington DC headquarters before and it was indeed very good. However, that car could be used as a work vehicle and seemed a bit too much for home use. It was a waste, because Jimmy was alone, plus Nia, there were only two people, and the Saber was a 7-seater.
The Chevrolet 4S store was a bit far away, so Jimmy took a taxi there and experienced the Saber class again. There was really no problem with driving, but he still thought about it before. This car was too wasteful for him, so he should get a sedan to drive. As for the eye-catching Corvette C5 in the showroom, let's talk about it. Jimmy is not a sports car enthusiast. If there is no car you like behind, just come and get her.
I visited several 4S stores in one day, including Cadillac, Lincoln, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, and finally chose the CLS 500 just released by Mercedes-Benz. After going around in a circle, Jimmy decided to get a car for use. The CLS just released by Mercedes-Benz last year met his requirements very well. It has strong power, a 5L V8, a brand new 7-speed automatic transmission, a top speed of 250km/h, and a front hood. The height of the front part is as low as possible, and the line from the rear window to the trunk is very soft and graceful. Mercedes-Benz's first-generation coupe is completely different from other cars on the market. (The real time was released at the New York Auto Show in April and sold simultaneously.)
The configuration of the Mercedes-Benz CLS500 is also very high, with all kinds of electric functions, keyless start, central control screen GPS navigation, etc. Although it is far behind what it was more than ten years later, it is enough. This is the best car Jimmy has ever driven. The car is gone.
Accompanied by the salesperson, Jimmy took a test drive, happily swiped his card to sign, registered the information, and purchased his first new car. All procedures were handled by the 4S store. Jimmy quickly got the paper temporary license plate. The official license plate will be mailed directly to Jimmy later. He can just replace it himself. He does not need to worry about the formalities anymore. Jimmy put on the temporary license plate and drove directly out of the 4S store.
With a new car, it was always a pleasure to drive. He refueled first and then drove directly to the police station.
In the detective's office, Jimmy came to Nia's side and said, "Nia, are there any clues about yesterday's shooting?"
Nia looked up at Jimmy, "We are already looking for them. One of the cars broke through the guardrail and fell into the Hudson River. People have been arranged to salvage it. The other car is determined to be a fake car and is now being recovered." Look for."
Jimmy nodded: "Remember to notify me if you have any news. By the way, I bought a new car." Jimmy flashed the car key in his hand.
Nia glanced at the car logo and whispered in surprise: "You are crazy. How can you buy such a good car with such a small salary?"
Jimmy blinked, what do you mean? Are you worried that you won't survive?
Jimmy: "Oh, actually it's not bad. It's only about 90,000 yuan when it's all settled, and I've already paid the full price."
Nia's mouth was half-opened in surprise, "Full payment?"
Jimmy understood. Except for the FBI OPR, Hughes, and Peter, no one else knew about his wealth. In addition, his usual clothes were only affordable for the average middle class, and they didn't seem to be. Not a rich man.
Jimmy smiled and said in a low voice: "Nothing, I'll tell you later, do you want to try the car?"
Nia looked at her watch and saw that it was almost lunch time. She stood up and said, "Okay. Chuck, I'm going to have lunch first."
Chuck waved his hand directly. He knew the result when Jimmy came over. He must have calculated the time to arrive just in time for lunch.
There was nothing wrong with giving Nia the opportunity to test drive the new car. Chuck didn’t care and asked him later. Every time he came to see Nia, Chuck didn’t miss out on the benefits at all. Of course, as Jimmy and Nia’s introducer, he enjoyed Jimmy’s visit. It is necessary to provide benefits.
"Wow! It's a very beautiful car." Sure enough, both Jimmy and Nia found the appearance of the CLS very stunning. They opened the door and got in. Jimmy was in the passenger seat and Nia drove the car. The new 7-speed automatic transmission freed up the right hand. , for people who are used to manual transmission, it will indeed be a bit uncomfortable at first, but after driving for a while, you will find that automatic transmission is really worry-free.
The surging power brought by the 5L large V8 made the whole car very sporty. After driving for a while, Jimmy suddenly realized that Nia seemed to be speeding, "Slow down, we are in the city."
Jimmy's reminder was timely, so Nia let off the accelerator, maintained the speed, and drove around in a circle. Nia drove the car back to the police station, and the two of them walked out to eat, and chatted about Jimmy's use of the car. The topic of what kind of waste is it to buy a car with a year's salary.
While eating out, Jimmy didn't say much. It was better to talk about personal information in private, but it also made Nia look at Jimmy and feel like he hated the iron.
Although Nia is not short of money, her car is still a mini cooper, which is compact and easy to handle, good-looking, and suitable for women.
Compared with Jimmy, a prodigal son, who never wanted to throw away a second-hand Mercury worth several thousand yuan and directly bought a Mercedes-Benz CLS worth 90,000 yuan in one step. This is really not considering other issues at all, just for the pleasure of driving.
After the meal, when they returned to the office, Nia saw the copy on the table and immediately called Jimmy and asked him to come back.
A few minutes later, Jimmy came upstairs: "What's wrong? Nia."
Nia handed him a few pieces of printing paper, "Yesterday's people have clues."
The car that fell into the water has been fished out. Based on the license plate and the remaining fingerprints in the car, a person was matched in the system, Mario Cole, an Italian-American, born in New York, a perfect member of the Knox Gang ( Made Man, a formal member of the Mafia who has gone through a family ceremony, also known as a soldier), was sentenced to 20 years in prison for second-degree murder, but was paroled and left prison after only 8 years.
The police did not find a body in the car, and due to river erosion, no evidence such as blood stains was found in the car.
Jimmy: "This is the only information about this person?"
Nia nodded, "Lai Knox is a small gang, but they used to belong to the Bonano family, but they broke away from there a long time ago. I don't have detailed information here."
Although Chuck did not directly participate in their conversation, he did keep listening. After hearing Nia's words, he added: "The group that came to Knox should be over in Harlem now. They are not here in Little Italy." Location."
Jimmy nodded, "Nia, make a copy for me. I need to go back and check."
Nia frowned and said, "Don't be impulsive. This guy is being watched very closely now. They drove and opened fire in the street last night, injuring several passers-by. The impact was too bad."
Jimmy reached out and patted Nia, "Don't worry, I'm just helping you. I'll let you know if there's any news."
Jimmy drove away from the police station and bought a Boston pie and two lattes before returning to the FBI office. Hey, they still have to come to the office after taking leave. Life is too difficult, but for Mercury, Jimmy will not let them go.
When Lu Yinzi, the strongest tool man, saw Jimmy coming in with a box and coffee, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Ah, Jimmy, do you have any trouble with me again?"
Jimmy laughed, "I'm here to bring you afternoon tea. This is the best Boston pie around."
Jimmy put the box on Luyinzi's table, and took out a plastic knife, a dinner plate, and two cups of coffee from the bag. Luyinzi just complained. In fact, every time Jimmy came to him, it seemed that he ended up It was he who benefited, and Jimmy took the credit to a large extent.
Lu Yinzi cut two pieces of cake with a table knife, then pressed the call button to notify people outside to take away the rest. The people under his command should also be exposed to the rain and dew.
Jimmy and Luyinzi sat face to face, not talking about business, just chatting casually. After finishing the cake, Luyinzi turned to the topic.
Lu Yinzi: "Tell me, you must be here for something."
Jimmy: "There was a drive-by shooting here in Manhattan yesterday, you know that, right?"
Lu Yinzi nodded: "I heard, what? Is the eucalyptus related to you?"
Jimmy: "I just went out to eat with Nia, and then my car was shot by them, and it's still lying in the repair shop."
Lu Yinzi raised his eyebrows, "That Mercury?"
Jimmy nodded, and Luyinzi understood, "It seems they are going to be unlucky, tell me."
Jimmy took out an A4 paper and handed it to Lu Yinzi, "One of the cars was salvaged from the river and a clue to a person was found."
Luyinzi looked at the information and said, "I don't have much impression of Mario Cole, and I don't have any impression of the Knox Gang. It's definitely not a big gang."
Jimmy: "Do you have any files here? Help me check."
Lu Yinzi nodded and pressed the phone. A young man came in outside, probably a new trainee agent. "Investigate the profile of this person and the gang."
"OK."
It's great to have subordinates. You don't have to do the work yourself. You can just give direct orders. Jimmy looked at the agents who walked out with envy.
Lu Yinzi looked at Jimmy and snapped his fingers: "Don't look at it. You have only been there for less than two years. Now is not the time. You can lead people after you are promoted."
Jimmy curled his lips and said, "If I were to count it in terms of calculations, I would have been promoted long ago with all the work I have done in the past year. Unfortunately, I still have to gain some qualifications."
Lu Yinzi chuckled: "You also know that you need qualifications, otherwise you won't lose the homicide team. By the way, how about Ma Hong?"
Jimmy: "We are dealing with the prison break outside. I'm back on duty. There are enough investigation clues for the two of them over there."
Ten minutes later, the young detective from earlier came in with a document and handed it to Lu Yinzi.
Lu Yinzi: "I found it, but the content has not been updated for a long time. The last updated information was in 2002. You can read it yourself."
Jimmy took over the file and found very little information about the Knox gang. The former boss of the gang was once a capo (sometimes translated as executive officer) of the Bonano family. He separated from the Bonano family for unknown reasons. , and it has not been eliminated by the family. It seems that it is an internal dispute and someone is protecting them.
Three years ago, due to the accidental death of the former boss, Tulio Penelli, the then second-in-command, took over. Their sphere of influence was not large, with only a dozen people. There was only an underground casino and an underground casino in a few blocks. In the bars above, the illegal business mainly involves transit trade and money laundering.
In theory, this kind of small gang that cannot even be called a gang would not store information, but because they had a close relationship with the Bonano family, they were considered to be on the list. The information is not updated in a timely manner, so I have no idea what their current situation is.
Jimmy read the information and looked at Luyinzi, "I remember you arrested the boss of the Bonano family last year, right? What's the situation now?"
Lu Yinzi: "The person has been released on bail. It is difficult to convict such a big boss."
Jimmy wrote down the address and phone number of the gang leader Tulio Penelli, as well as their two stores, and returned the information to Luyinzi, "I'll go investigate, and if there is any new information, you can update it." Just wait a minute."
Luyinzi: "You can investigate, but don't do it casually. Now is not the time to provoke the Bonano family. After reading the information, they should have some connection with the Bonano family."
Jimmy: "I understand, this guy is not ours, I'm just helping the NYPD."
Lu Yinzi: "Don't say it so noble, you just want to avenge your car."
Jimmy raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "Let's go, goodbye."
