A brown-haired woman with a thin face came to open the door, chatted with the police for a few words, and then sent them away. Without a search warrant and no direct evidence, they had no way to force their way in and search, and Jimmy had no way of prompting them, so they had no choice but to leave. The three of them left the front of the house before the woman reached out and closed the door. Jimmy turned back as he walked. The person in the closet also came out after the woman informed him and returned to the living room.
Arriving at the car, Jimmy stopped Ray: "I suspect someone is in the house, Ray, can you stay and watch for a while?"
Lei waved his hand and reached out to open the car door, "There is no need for us to be here. I can just call and arrange for others to come over. We have other clues to deal with."
Jimmy looked back and came to his car. He had a different style of doing things. There was no need to force him. Since he said so, just do as he said. This was not Manhattan after all.
Driving back to the office, Jimmy continued to read information while Ray dealt with his affairs. No matter how he looked at it, Jimmy felt that Ray had no interest in the current bank robbery. Of course, it is not ruled out that he had too many other things in his hands and was distracted, but just leaving it to Jimmy to investigate the clues and doing other things himself, it always felt like he was just looking for something for Jimmy to do and not letting Jimmy bother him. .
After thinking about it, Jimmy decided to verify it. After going out for lunch at noon, Jimmy said to Ray: "Ray, there are no other clues at the moment. I think it's better to keep an eye on the thief. What do you think?"
Lei: "I have arranged for a monitoring team to go over. Let's wait for news from them."
Jimmy: "Anyway, I have nothing to do for the time being, so I'll go too."
Lei nodded: "Be safe."
Just throwing Jimmy out like this, well, Jimmy knows what Ray is thinking, so he won't join in the fun next to him.
After all, he was transferred here temporarily, and the number of cooperations before was relatively small, and Ray had his own men to use, so there was no need to bother Jimmy, so now Jimmy fully understands his position. As long as Lambert doesn't say anything, he just thinks he's on vacation in Dallas and has fun.
As an FBI agent, Jimmy certainly would not choose to skip work and go shopping. He still had to do the work he was supposed to do. He drove directly to the home of Jeff, the thief he was looking for before. When he walked in front of the house, he Knowing that the people inside were still there, Jimmy also discovered the FBI surveillance vehicle on the road diagonally opposite the house, but the two people inside seemed to be fishing.
Jimmy didn't interfere with them. He just walked across the road and returned to his car. He turned on the radio and watched the people in the house in a daze.
In the afternoon, two cars arrived at the door of Jeff's house. Several people who didn't look serious entered the house, seemed to be doing some business, and then drove away.
It seems that this thief Jeff is not a simple little person, nor is the woman who opened the door before. Although I can't see her appearance, judging from her body shape, it seems that the woman who received these two groups of people is that woman. Go to the bedroom. She was also the one who put things away.
The environment is different. If he were in Manhattan, Jimmy would have put down Jeff and followed the two cars. Judging from their behavior, it was most likely a street transaction. Jimmy liked to interfere in this kind of thing, and There is nothing to worry about. He just needs to call Lu Yinzi and there will be someone to help him finish it off. Unfortunately, he is in Dallas now.
In the evening, the people inside finally came out. A man walked out of the house, looked around, drove up to an old pickup truck at the door and left. The surveillance car followed, and Jimmy followed the surveillance car on the road.
Passing by a gas station, Jeff's pickup truck turned to refuel, paid and left. The surveillance vehicle did not go in, but waited directly on the side of the road, and then followed him again.
Jimmy did not continue to follow, but got out of the car directly at the gas station, "FBI." Jimmy gestured with his ID and said, "Can I see the money I paid for the pickup truck just now?"
The gas station clerk looked at Jimmy with a frown, "Why?"
Jimmy: "I'm investigating a bank robbery. I need to confirm whether the money he paid is the money that the bank lost. You don't need to give it to me, just copy the serial number."
The staff shrugged and took out the money Jeff paid. Jimmy took a small book and recorded the serial number of a 20-yuan note. "Thank you." He returned to his car, texted it to Ray, and then called his phone. Phone call: "Lei, Jeff was filling up at the gas station just now. I sent you the serial number of the 20-yuan note he paid for. Please confirm whether it is in the decoy banknote sequence."
Ray: "Okay, I'll take care of it."
Jimmy drove away because he had lost his target. Jimmy had dinner on the way and returned to stay near Jeff's house. He just waited and waited for news from Ray. However, until Jimmy was about to leave, Ray's call didn't come.
Jimmy sighed, started the car and returned to the hotel. It seemed that Ray was not in the office when he answered the phone just now. He might have gone home and didn't check at all. Jimmy was speechless. He didn't even turn on the radio on the way. He returned to the hotel room in silence, washed and rested.
The next day, Jimmy got up, went out for breakfast, and drove directly outside Jeff's house. There was no need to go to the office and ask for trouble. Jimmy decided to deal with this problem alone. Anyway, when he needed someone to contact Ray, he couldn't ignore it.
But Jimmy didn't wait long when a call came from Ray: "Jimmy, go to Jeff's house right away. I'll arrange for someone to go there and prepare to arrest him."
Jimmy: "The serial numbers from yesterday matched?"
Lei: "Yes, it's one of the decoy bills. Those decoy bills are basically 20 yuan."
Jimmy: "I'm already here. I've only been here for a few minutes. I didn't see anyone coming out."
Lei: "The surveillance team lost track of him last night. Now we can only go to his house to see if we can encounter him. You keep an eye on him while I go to get a search warrant."
Jimmy: "No problem, contact me when you get there."
Hey, Jimmy looked at Jeff's house and sighed, if he had checked it directly last night, why would there be so many things? It's good now. In one night, I don't know where I went.
There is only one person in Jeff's house now. Judging from her appearance, she should be the woman who opened the door yesterday. Jeff has not come back at all. Jimmy originally wanted to stay here and wait for him to come back, but now it's better. If Lei brings someone over and rushes in, he will definitely be alerted.
This is also quite unexpected. Jimmy looked through a bunch of clues and found the only one that he thought might be related, and he succeeded in the first time? So lucky? It has never been so easy to break up in Manhattan before. Is there something wrong?
In fact, Jimmy's luck has never been very good. Sometimes he is so unlucky that he has to drink cold water to stuff his teeth. For a bank robbery of this level, he was caught off guard so easily by finding the rightful owner. Originally, I just stared at him because I had a clue, which was better than fishing out of boredom. Such an idea was able to deal with Da Yuzi. I can only really say that he may have changed his fortune recently.
Maybe it’s because you’ve done a few big things before?
Jimmy opened the car window and smoked while waiting for Jeff to come home, or rather waiting for Ray to bring someone over.
More than half an hour later, several cars came over and stopped far away, but no one got out of the car. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the person Lei arranged. About half an hour later, Ray drove over. He got out of the car first, and then called Jimmy.
Jimmy came to Ray's side, "No one came in or out. Did you get the search warrant?"
Ray nodded and looked towards Jeff's house. Jimmy continued: "Want to go in now?"
Ray: "Wait a minute." After saying that, he walked towards the people who had arrived early, arranged their positions, and surrounded Jeff's home from front to back, but did not start taking action.
Looking at their arrangements, Jimmy couldn't help but frown. The feeling before came back again. Why did it feel like no one in Dallas had made any preparations in advance?
Those people had been waiting on the side of the road for half an hour and had not made any move. Jimmy thought they had arranged for people to take the back road, but judging from their arrangements, they were doing it now? What were you doing in the last half hour?
Jimmy did not participate in the arrests anymore. He just sat in the car and watched Ray leading a few people to the front door and shouting to knock on the door. There was no way to refuse the FBI+ search warrant. The woman who opened the door could only open the door to let them in, but she stood at the door and slowly moved to the end of the crowd.
When all the detectives entered the house and began searching, she immediately ran out of the door and tried to escape.
Jimmy opened the car door, chased after her, and pounced on the woman, throwing her to the ground. "FBI, don't move."
The detectives who were chasing him out of the house were still a few steps late. By the time they arrived, Jimmy had already grabbed the woman's arm, twisted it behind her back, and pulled her up.
Jimmy: "Cuff her and take her away."
Handing the person over to the detectives behind him, Jimmy returned to the car and waited for the search inside.
Soon, two detectives from inside came out, took out the cordon from the car and pulled it up outside the house to seal off the house. The detectives continued to search the house, and soon after, two trucks arrived. It looked like there was a lot to be seized.
Jimmy got out of the car and went inside the police cordon. Ray walked out and said, "Ray, how's it going inside?"
Lei's expression was not so good: "Big harvest, but it has nothing to do with our eucalyptus."
Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lei: "We found some drugs, money, and a few guns inside, but the money is probably not what we are looking for. We need to go back and investigate. It was rolled up."
Jimmy nodded, understanding that rolled up money usually represented a source in places like this, drug money.
Jimmy: "Where are Jeff's things? Are there any clothes, bags, etc. that are the same as those of the bank robber?"
Lei shook his head, "Hey, let's take it back for testing."
Ray turned around and continued to watch the agents working. Jimmy didn't join in the fun. He had obtained the information he needed and could go back to the car to rest.
Sure enough, it's not that easy. It seems that the banknotes should be related to drug money, but the bait banknotes began to circulate within a few days. It seems that the robbers did not intend to keep the money, but spent it as soon as possible, leaving the remaining money. The next step is to trace the source.
However, Jimmy now has little hope in the efficiency of Ray and the others, and the subsequent investigation is expected to take longer.
Ray and Jimmy returned to the office and began to prepare materials. They printed out Jeff's information and posted it on the whiteboard. They began to mark information on it. At the same time, they contacted the police station and asked their patrol officers to help keep an eye on Jeff, mainly his. Pickup trucks.
Jimmy: "Ray, keep an eye on that woman, there's something wrong with her."
Lei turned to look at Jimmy, and stopped writing on the whiteboard: "Huh? What?"
Jimmy: "That woman was with Jeff, and I suspect she was more than just Jeff's girlfriend, because she ran away after you entered. This is definitely not what a woman who just hangs out with would do. She should have been involved in Jeff’s affairs and knew very much about him.”
Lei nodded: "She has been recaptured, and someone else is interrogating her."
Jimmy: "It's not just about Jeff, what if she is the main culprit?"
Lei turned to look at the whiteboard: "Well, I will remind them. We will do it simultaneously. Let's investigate Jeff first."
Jimmy nodded, sat on the chair next to him, and watched Ray working.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding." Jimmy's cell phone rang, he glanced at it, took the phone and walked out.
Jimmy: "James, what happened?"
James: "Jimmy, how are you doing? Nothing happens, I just gave you a call."
It's strange that it's okay, James hasn't called Jimmy for a long time, and before that they only talked on the phone occasionally at night.
Jimmy: "Everything is fine with me here, temporarily on secondment to Texas, now in Dallas."
James: "Oh, not bad. When will you return to New York?"
Jimmy: "I won't go back for the time being, what? Are you in New York?"
James: "Well, Mary and I will go to New York in a while. It seems we are not having good luck."
Jimmy: "Are you going to New York for fun? I'll ask Nia to pick you up at the airport. Sorry, I can't do anything like this on a business trip, otherwise I would definitely pick you up myself."
James: "It's just fun, there are other things. Don't bother Nia, we can handle it ourselves."
Jimmy: "Okay, then you guys have fun. By the way, set a time and let me know. If I go back to New York, we can make time to get together."
James: "Okay. That's it for now. Pay attention to safety."
Jimmy: "You too, bye."
Jimmy hung up the phone, looked around, and went straight downstairs to smoke outside.
problem occurs! James definitely didn't call to ask him to meet in New York. He had other intentions. It was working time during the day. James had never called him at this time before, not to mention it was not a big deal. Such private matters should be contacted after get off work.
In New York, he went with Mary. He had bad luck. He didn't just go there to have fun. Pay attention to safety... It must have something to do with him...
Jimmy thought about it while smoking, and couldn't figure out what it was.
