Mahone's side took over the case very smoothly. Chuck worked overtime at night and had already compiled all the information on the report and relevant evidence. After all, he was an old police detective and had rich experience, so Mahone started investigating immediately after taking over the case. , mainly focusing on the four corpses to investigate their identities and social relationships.
The identity confirmation from the NYPD is still insufficient. The database linked to by the FBI is more comprehensive, so the investigation is more detailed.
The two robbers who hijacked the fire truck had been identified, and one of them worked in a car repair shop. Mahone immediately took Jimmy and called several more backup personnel and rushed to Brooklyn.
Unfortunately, they arrived late and there was no one in the repair shop. It seemed that they were not in a hurry. Although there were two cars being repaired and some parts and tools were placed, the office was very clean. of.
Jimmy had discovered the darkroom, but he could only look around for switches, and finally found a slightly different color on the side of the cabinet outside the darkroom.
He pressed that spot, and the cabinet lifted a little, then moved sideways, and a dark room appeared.
Mahone: "Well done. How did you know there was a secret room here?"
Jimmy looked at the darkroom. There was no one in it, and there seemed to be no danger: "You guessed it, let someone go in and collect information."
Ma Hong nodded and waved his hand, and a detective next to him walked into the darkroom wearing gloves.
Jimmy waved to Mahone, and the two left the office and came outside. "They cleaned up too clean. They obviously had a plan to retreat. I'm worried about the female shooter in the hospital."
Mahone: "I have arranged for five people to go to the hospital, and they will take shifts. At least two people will be outside the ward, which should be enough."
Jimmy: "It may not be enough. Judging from the arrangement of tables and chairs in this office, there are at least 4 people in this repair shop. We only killed two and two others escaped. Plus they may have others. Stronghold, I suspect if they go to the hospital to save people, the number of people will exceed our expectations.”
Mahone looked at Jimmy: "This is just a guess, and we don't have that many manpower."
Jimmy: "If it doesn't work, I'll go to the hospital. You guys investigate first, and I'll watch over there to avoid any accidents."
Ma Hong considered it for a moment and shook his head: "No, I think we are investigating their identities. If we continue the investigation, it is likely to lead to a head-on conflict."
Jimmy: "Is the current information enough to investigate them?"
Ma Hong nodded: "David is already investigating the information about this repair shop. The relevant people will find it out later. We will be very busy today."
Jimmy: "No, I don't think it will be easy to find them. It may take a long time to investigate. I still think there is danger over there in the hospital."
Ma Hong: "If it doesn't work, let me contact SWAT and ask them to arrange for a few people to go there."
Jimmy shook his head: "It's better not to do it. They are in trouble. We need Hughes to nod, and we need to find the off-duty personnel from SWAT, otherwise it will affect the normal dispatch. I'll go, you just need to confirm the clues It’s clear, I’ll meet you from the hospital.”
Ma Hong: "Wait a minute, let me think about it."
Jimmy took out the cigarette case and handed Mahone a cigarette, and he also took one and lit it. The two of them walked to the door of the maintenance shop and stood there, looking at the vehicles passing by on the road outside and thinking.
While smoking, Mahone's phone rang. He glanced at it and picked it up: "Ma Hong. ...Fxxk!"
Mahone took the phone from his ear and looked at Jimmy, "There's something wrong at the hospital, let's go."
Mahone shouted to the investigating detectives behind him, telling them to continue, and immediately got in the car and started driving to the hospital.
Jimmy drove behind Mahone, picked up the phone and called Mahone, "What's wrong?"
Ma Hong: "You guessed it right, they did pass by. The people at the nurse station noticed that two female nurses were unfamiliar, and then they alerted our people when they shouted, and then the two nurses shot and wounded two detectives. , took the female gunman away. Let’s do this first, I’ll contact others to check the situation.”
After saying that, Ma Hong hung up the phone. Both of their cars turned on their hidden police lights and sirens, and ran through red lights all the way to the hospital.
After making two phone calls, Mahone confirmed the situation and immediately called Jimmy.
He arranged a total of five people in the hospital, and the five people took shifts to ensure that two people were guarding the ward at all times. The three people were on rotation, but they were not on the same floor as the ward.
A five-person shift starts with two people, then changes to two people, and then changes to a single person to match the one person on duty before. The shift can cover the whole day, and everyone will not be too tired.
When the two fake nurses opened fire, they may have been worried about the FBI agents. They did not aim directly at the head and shoot, but hit the chest. Therefore, the two guarding agents did not die at the scene. After the two gunmen left, , the nurse hiding nearby immediately ran over to give them first aid, barely saving their lives.
When they opened fire, the nurse at the nursing station had already pressed the alarm. In addition to the hospital alarm ringing loudly, it was also connected to the NYPD command center. At that time, the command center arranged for the surrounding patrol police to come over. It was just a matter of speed.
There were already two police cars parked at the entrance of the hospital. The four police officers had not yet entered the building, but were just watching around, waiting for support. When Jimmy and Mahone's car came over, because the police lights and sirens were flashing, the four police officers did not point their guns at them. They just turned their heads and looked at the hospital building.
"FBI! Is the shooter still there?" Jimmy got out of the car and shouted, pulled out his Glock.
"Still there, probably still inside, but I haven't heard any gunfire for a few minutes."
Jimmy: "Are there people watching the back and side entrances? There is also an underground parking lot."
"There is no back door yet, and we haven't arrived yet, but there is already a police car at the exit of the underground parking lot."
Jimmy looked at Mahone: "Mahon, you watch from below, I'll go up."
Ma Hong: "No, let's go up together. Two of you go to the side, as long as no one escapes. Has the hospital been evacuated?"
Police: "A group of people have been evacuated. There are still some people who have not been seen coming out. There must be many people inside."
This is a hospital. There must be people hospitalized. Many people cannot evacuate on their own. Mahone and Jimmy know the current situation and can only do this.
Just then, the sound of sirens approached from behind, and several more police cars came over.
Mahone: "OK, your support is here, surround the hospital, control traffic and don't let the gunman escape. Jimmy, let's go."
Jimmy nodded and rushed directly to the door. He had already made sure that there was no one at the door, and there was no one below the third floor. But there are still people in many rooms upstairs, but most of them are hiding behind tables or beds. There are also some people lying on the bed without moving. It is probably inconvenient for these people to move.
What is clear now is that he saw two gunmen in the stairwell, and he didn't know if they were his own. Then the people upstairs were all mixed together, and it was impossible to tell which ones were the gunmen.
Jimmy: "Mahon, find a way to suspend the use of the elevator. We can't rush up and find them running away in the elevator. That would be too bad."
Ma Hong: "Then you have to wait a moment. I'll go find the security guards. They should have the elevator operation key."
Jimmy: "I can't wait any longer. We still have five brothers upstairs. Forget it, that's it. I hope the police outside can handle it. Follow me and we'll clean up from below."
Mahone did not refuse Jimmy's command. For this kind of situation, unless the HRT or SWAT team is present, it is always right to listen to Jimmy. This is the conclusion reached a long time ago.
Jimmy couldn't take Mahone directly upstairs. He could only check every room starting from the first floor, which wasted some time.
From the fire escape to the third floor, unfortunately, there was a sound when the door on the fire staircase opened, which still alerted the people here. Jimmy saw a person squatting on the ground at the door of a room and looking over here.
"FBI, is there anyone there?" Jimmy did not go out directly, but opened the fire escape door and shouted directly.
Ma Hong shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing, alerting the gunman?"
Jimmy: "This is a hospital. There are many doctors and nurses caring for patients. I'll go out and take a look. You wait here."
Jimmy didn't turn to look at Mahone. He stretched out his pistol and glanced around, at least pretending. The man squatting at the door and looking over had his hands on the ground. At least he didn't see a gun in his hands.
Jimmy walked over slowly, "Don't move, who are you? Is there anyone else in the room?"
The man raised his hands out of the door, "I'm a patient here, I'm the only one in this room."
Jimmy: "Don't move." He walked over and did a brief search. "It's safe downstairs. Can you go downstairs?"
Patient: "No, my leg is injured and I can't walk."
Jimmy: "Then hide in the room, close the door and don't make any noise."
The patient nodded, stepped back on his knees, and then closed the door. There is indeed only one person in this room. Judging from the casts on his feet and calves, he should not be the shooter.
Jimmy waved to the back and continued to move forward, checking rooms one by one and comforting the patients. Several nurses were found on the third floor, all in the ward, and there was another person hiding in the utility room, who was also found by Jimmy and Mahone.
After checking the third floor, Jimmy and Mahone told the nurses they found that there were no gunmen on the first and second floors and there were police outside. If they were afraid, they could go down the fire escape, but they refused.
There may be a risk of being found if you hide, but if you go down the stairs, if you are unlucky and encounter the gunman, you will be dead.
There is nothing to refute this reason. Jimmy and Mahone are just two people, and there is no way to cover them. The most important thing for them now is to find the gunman and the five FBI people.
Arriving at another fire stairwell, Jimmy was still in front, "Stop."
A corpse fell headfirst on the stairs. Some blood stains could also be seen on the stairs. This unfortunate guy probably rolled down from the top. The reason why it was said to be a corpse was because he was shot in the head. The bullet Kong looked very familiar.
Jimmy: "A body, be careful, they should be right up there."
Mahone tapped Jimmy on the shoulder from behind, and the two of them avoided the corpse and walked up with their guns raised.
When they reached the fourth floor, Jimmy turned to look at Mahone, "This is too slow. You guard the stairs here, and I'll go up and search from the top down. You just have to guard, don't be impulsive."
Ma Hong: "No, we don't know how many there are. It's too dangerous for you to go up alone."
Jimmy: "Don't worry about me. Although it's wrong to say this, I'm safer alone."
Jimmy can't lead Mahone to clean up bit by bit like this, it's too slow. It’s better to finish this place alone first, and then we’ll talk about it.
Jimmy: "That's it. Contact the outside world to check the situation. The NYPD's ESU should be here soon. Also, contact our SWAT."
Ma Hong: "Be careful, your own safety comes first."
Jimmy smiled at Mahone, said nothing, put the Glock away, pulled out the Python revolver, and took out 6 spare bullets in his left hand while going upstairs.
Mahone looked up at Jimmy from below, gritted his teeth and thought for a while, raised his pistol and gently pushed open the fire escape door, looked around, and moved little by little towards the next room.
When Jimmy is alone, he can completely let himself go. The hospital has surveillance cameras, but the surveillance cameras here are all big guys, so Jimmy was already sure when he ran up.
Running to the ninth floor of the top floor, Jimmy saw four corpses along the way, all of which were shot to death. Based on their clothes, it could be judged that one of them was a doctor wearing a white coat, and the other three seemed to be patients or family members of patients. They were not Wearing a uniform and not a suit, he shouldn't be an FBI agent.
On the ninth floor, Jimmy had already seen a lot of people, most of whom were hiding in a seemingly large office, but they were all hiding in the corner. "FBI, people inside, how are you doing?"
Jimmy opened the door and looked at them with his gun raised: "Are you from the hospital?"
Everyone nodded, Jimmy said: "Hide here, don't go out."
After checking several other rooms on the ninth floor, he went downstairs to the eighth floor, where he saw blood stains in the corridor. Jimmy followed the blood stains to a ward. There were four people in it, two lying on the ground and two hiding. In the corner.
"FBI." Jimmy pushed the door open and scared the two nurses hiding in the corner to scream. One of the nurses even fired a shot at the door with a gun.
"FBI, don't shoot." He hid at the door for a moment, then opened the door and looked at the two people on the ground, wearing suits.
Jimmy flashed his FBI badge: "Who are they? Whose gun is yours?"
The nurse holding the gun was calmer than the person next to him. "They were the FBI. They were looking at a patient. Two people pretended to be nurses and pushed a stretcher in and shot them. Oh, they didn't die, but they needed surgery right away." ." (End of chapter)
