Jimmy returned to his office and called Nia first. "Nia, are you and Chuck responsible for this problem?"
Nia: "Of course not, what's wrong?"
Jimmy: "I just found some information about their gang and want to talk to them. Are you interested in joining us?"
Nia covered her phone and chatted with Chuck next to her. Jimmy could vaguely hear her talking, but couldn't hear what she said specifically.
Nia: "No problem, you can set the time and place and let me know."
Jimmy: "Wait for my call."
Jimmy didn't ask anyone to help contact him, but directly dialed the number of Tulio Penelli, the boss of the Knox Gang.
Penilli: "Who are you?"
Jimmy: "Good afternoon, Mr. Penelli, I am FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young, and I would like to meet and chat with you."
Penilli: "Sorry, I don't know you. Goodbye." After that, he hung up the phone.
Wow, that was quite polite, even though he hung up on Jimmy.
Jimmy went downstairs and drove directly to Harlem, north of the Upper West Side. Chuck's intelligence was correct. The people who came to Knox's gang were indeed in Harlem, so the old policeman's intelligence network was still very good, or because They have been through so much that many things are not secrets to them.
We came to the Davis Bar in Knox. This bar is also open in the evening and is not open all day. Fortunately, it is already afternoon and it is almost their opening time, so there are still people in the bar and they are being tidied up. bar.
Jimmy showed his FBI badge and walked in past the security guard at the door. He came to the bar and said to the bartender who was cleaning the barware inside: "Is your boss here?"
Bartender: "Sorry, he's not here yet. Who are you?"
Jimmy showed his badge, "FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young, contact him, I'll wait for him here." Jimmy didn't sit at the bar, but walked to the sofa booth next to him.
This bar is a legitimate business for Knox, and it is also one of their money laundering channels. Jimmy comes here openly, so naturally he is not afraid of them messing around, not to mention that they can't mess around. For a small gang, a Open and honest channels are very rare. If something goes wrong, they will suffer huge losses.
Jimmy looked at the bartender. After he determined where Jimmy was sitting, he left the bar and walked to the back. Jimmy followed him to the back with his mind's eye. He had noticed someone behind him before, but he couldn't confirm his identity. He said a few words to a person, and the person took a few steps back and forth, then walked out immediately after.
As expected, he was indeed a managerial talent. The man who followed the bartender didn’t look like a gang member at all, because the temperature in the bar was relatively high. He was not wearing a suit jacket, but was wearing a vest, suit pants, and Oxford shoes. He has shiny, light brown hair, is about the same height as Jimmy, and looks absolutely fine with being personable.
He came to Jimmy and stretched out his right hand: "Francesco Davis, the owner of the bar."
Jimmy stood up and shook his hand: "FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young."
Davis: "Please sit down. What does Agent Yang have to do with me? I don't think we know each other."
Jimmy smiled: "Well, we don't know each other. Mr. Davis, I want to ask you to do a favor and help me contact Mr. Penelli."
The professional fake smile disappeared from Davis's face, "I think you are mistaken. We don't have anyone named Penilli here."
The smile on Jimmy's face remained unchanged and he continued: "Mr. Davis, I'm already sitting here. You don't think I'm just looking for a reason to drink."
Davis was not talking, he looked at Jimmy, and Jimmy continued: "Please notify me when you get in touch." Jimmy took out the business card from his pocket, put it on the table and pushed it toward Davis, then stood up and left. .
Jimmy left the bar, got into his new car and left. The security guard behind him must have recorded his car and the temporary license plate. It didn't matter. They were given this time to investigate and discuss, because Jimmy didn't say yes. They may not be able to guess why they came here.
This is a gang. Jimmy can't just rush in and shoot them. Even though they are not law-abiding citizens, it's not something Jimmy can just shoot at will.
Jimmy returned home. Less than two hours after he left the bar, his phone rang, "Agent Yang, this is Francesco Davis. Can you come to Davis at 9 p.m. A bar?"
Jimmy: "ok, bye."
Jimmy informed Nia that she and Chuck would arrive on time.
At night, Jimmy came to the door of Davis Bar and saw Jimmy's car. Another car parked on the side also drove over. Chuck and Nia got out of the car and came to Jimmy's side.
Chuck: "Nice car, you just bought it?"
Jimmy nodded: "I bought it today."
Davis came out of the bar and came to Jimmy, "Welcome, Agent Yang, please come in."
Jimmy nodded and followed Davis into the bar, followed by Chuck and the others.
It seemed that all bars had this kind of clean little room. Jimmy followed Davis into a room, where there was a white man who looked to be over 50 years old, with a bald head and obvious wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes.
Davis stopped Chuck and Nia and invited them out for a drink. Jimmy didn't care. He took off his windbreaker and placed it on the arm of the sofa, unbuttoned his suit, and sat directly opposite the man.
Jimmy: "Mr. Tulio Penelli?"
Penilli: "Agent Yang, do you have anything to do with me?"
Jimmy: "Mr. Penelli, I assume you know everyone on your team? Do you remember Mario Cole?"
Penilli was nodding, but suddenly paused when he heard Cole's name. "I don't understand you."
Jimmy: "Last night, Mario Cole and another group of people were racing and shooting at the same time, injuring many people. Where is he?"
Penilli narrowed his eyes, "Mario hasn't appeared for several days, and I don't know where he is now."
Jimmy: "Let's put this aside, I think you should know who I am, right?"
Penilli nodded.
Jimmy continued: "This case has not come to me yet. I just have some favors and I have to help, but if they submit the dossier... I think you don't want me to come to you a second time."
Penilli picked up the bottle and two glasses, poured the wine, and pushed a glass in front of Jimmy.
Penilli: "Cole was being hunted. Four days ago, Cole's home was attacked. He fought back and left the house. He only appeared once and never contacted us again."
Jimmy: "The reason for the attack?"
Penilli: "I don't know, Cole just showed up once, took weapons and money and left."
Jimmy: "His location?"
Penilli: "His ex-wife's home, an apartment on Grace Road in Brooklyn, that's the only place I know of where he might have been."
Jimmy: "Thank you, Mr. Penilli." Jimmy picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Penilli, drank the wine, then put down the wine glass, stood up, buttoned up, took the windbreaker and left the room.
Penilli definitely didn't tell the truth, but what he said should be true. It would be easy for Jimmy to investigate Cole's situation. Since she is an ex-wife, she must be recorded in the system, unless they are not registered. The question now is who was attacked by Cole. It should be the person in the second car that appeared at that time.
Jimmy greeted Chuck and Nia, and the three of them left the bar. Nia got into Jimmy's car and Chuck drove back.
】
While driving, Jimmy told Nia about Cole's situation. Nia was an honest girl and needed to go home to rest on non-rest days. Jimmy could only send her back. Fortunately, Harlem was just north of the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side. No need to go far.
Jimmy parked the car downstairs in Nia's apartment. After kissing goodbye, Jimmy got back in the car and started to leave. As soon as Nia entered the hall, she saw her father was there.
Of course, Jimmy didn't know what happened next. He drove directly around Central Park and went home. Eucalyptus notified Nia and the others. The two sides would investigate together, and one party would be able to figure it out.
The next day, Jimmy returned to the FBI office early in the morning. There was no news from Mahone and he didn't know what their progress was, but Jimmy was not interested in asking for the time being. His focus now was on Cole.
Turning on the computer, the FBI data is quite complete, mainly because the FBI has data interaction with various systems. Compared with the independent data of each state, federal agencies such as FBI, ICE, and DEA are often more convenient. Of course, for Access to this data also requires higher permissions.
The temporary agent permissions previously granted to Jimmy have not been revoked, so he can still query some deep data.
In addition to the information about Mario Cole from the NYPD, Jimmy also found some additional information, including his former residence, family information, and information about his ex-wife Karen. Penilli didn't lie, at least he didn't lie about this information.
Jimmy recorded all the information, drove a car and left the FBI office. This was a bit too much, and he did other things during work hours.
Jimmy first went to the ex-wife of Mario Cole in Brooklyn. Jimmy took a look first and found that there were two people in her apartment. The system recorded that Karen had not remarried, so the person inside was most likely Cole.
Jimmy knocked on the door, and a man came out and opened the door. "Karen Cole? FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young."
Karen: "What's the matter? Detective."
Jimmy: "I'm looking for Mario. Please ask him to come out."
Karen: "He's not here, we're divorced."
Jimmy: "Please let the people in the room come out, thank you."
Karen: "I'm the only one here. Please stop harassing me. I will call the police."
Jimmy: "I came here alone, just to chat with Mario. If I come here next time, I won't be alone. Mario, please come out and chat. There is no fire escape outside here. You can't get down." of."
When Jimmy saw the people inside preparing to jump out of the window, he raised his voice and shouted out.
Karen reached out to close the door, but Jimmy pushed the door to stop her from closing it. The people inside had already left the window and walked to the living room.
Mario: "Karen, let him in."
Karen opened the door and let Jimmy in, "Let's talk." After closing the door, Karen walked directly into the bedroom inside, closed the bedroom door, and did not participate in the conversation between Mario and Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Mario Cole, it's really hard to find you. If it weren't for Mr. Penelli, I wouldn't know you were here."
When Mario heard Penilli's name, he knew that this matter was not going to be simple, "Agent, what do you want from me?"
Jimmy: "Who was the guy who drove and shot with you the night before yesterday?"
Mario: "Do you have a recording?"
Jimmy shook his head: "I came here alone."
Mario walked to the window and looked outside, then opened the door and looked at the corridor, "What do you know?"
Jimmy: "You need to tell me this. I can get information from Penelli. You should know my position. I have no interest in you."
Jimmy is very patient and friendly, because according to surveillance, Mario's car escaped in front, and Jimmy's car was shot. Judging from the ballistics, it was someone in the second car who fired. It's just a problem with the surveillance angle. The people in the second car can't see it at all, and they can't even find that car now. The license plate is a fake one, and the car corresponding to the license plate was somewhere else that day.
Since it was not Mario who was shot in his car, Jimmy has no interest in him.
Mario is also a bachelor. As the younger brother, since the boss has given the news, he should tell it. He is a formal member who has gone through the ceremony. He is not a temporary worker in the gang. He still has great trust in the boss.
"Five nights ago, I was resting at home. Two people sneaked into my house under the cover of darkness. I found them and I escaped after shooting."
Jimmy: "Who are they?"
Mario: "I don't know. I have been attacked three times in the past few days. Five days ago at night, three days ago at night, and the afternoon of the day before yesterday."
Jimmy: "Have you been here these two days?"
Mario: "No, I just came last night. I will leave soon."
Jimmy: "Think about it again, are there any clues to determine who they are?"
Mario: "I really don't know. I have no idea who I offended."
Jimmy: "What have you done recently?"
Mario shook his head, "I can't say."
"Dongdongdong" the door rang, "nypd, please open the door."
Karen opened the door from the bedroom and came out. The door opened a crack, "What's the matter?"
"Karen Cole? Let's find Mario Cole."
Karen: "You are in the wrong place. Mario and I are divorced."
"Have you been in contact with Cole recently?"
Karen: "No. You can go find him elsewhere. He's not here." "Peng" Karen closed the door directly.
The police outside didn't know whether they came here after investigating Mario's interpersonal relationship, or whether Nia told them, but it had nothing to do with Jimmy.
Jimmy saw that the police outside had left, looked at Mario and said: "It seems that this place has been exposed, Mario, I think you'd better think about it and tell me, who are they?"
Mario looked at the door and said, "People from Azte, or people related to them."
Jimmy couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this familiar name: "Reason."
Mario looked at Jimmy: "I found one of their warehouses."
Jimmy: "Did you touch that warehouse?"
Mario nodded, and Jimmy understood that it would not be particularly surprising if someone who could shoot like this on the street was applied to Azte's group of people who were used to working on the border.
Jimmy: "What did you find and what did you take?"
Mario shook his head: "I can't say. But I can give you a position."
Jimmy nodded, took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed it to Mario, "Tell me what you can say and get out of here as soon as possible. You don't want them to deal with Karen."
Mario took the pen and paper, wrote a warehouse address and warehouse number on a piece of white paper, and gave it to Jimmy. Jimmy carefully put the pen and paper back into his pocket, and his fingerprints were also collected.
Jimmy stood up and left. Mario also chatted with Karen for a few words, picked up his things and left Karen's house.
