Jimmy was a little surprised. He originally thought that Winston had important clues to tell him, but he didn't expect that he wanted to knock down their headquarters.
Jimmy blinked and was stunned for a moment before speaking: "What do you mean?"
Winston: "Perkins went too far, so in order to avoid being implicated, someone decided to clear them out."
Jimmy: "No, if we clean them out directly, what should we do? Several departments will jointly investigate. If it is found that the target has been destroyed in advance, more people will be implicated."
Winston: "We'll take care of it."
Jimmy: "No, this has nothing to do with whether you handle it cleanly or not. Winston, maybe you are used to using this method to clean up threats, but this is not the way the federal department handles it.
When an official investigation into a terrorist attack is launched, there must be a conclusion, and it cannot be stopped just because the clues are interrupted.
If we clean up their headquarters, and our clues point there, and find that the headquarters is empty, then someone will excessively associate it with murder and silence, and thus target the higher-level mastermind. If such an unrestricted investigation continues, sooner or later, Something will happen.
Winston, don't play with fire, just find a few reliable people to take the blame. I will give you an appropriate opportunity to get the person in front of DHS. "
"Bah bang bang." Winston looked at Jimmy, stretched out his hands and clapped slowly, "Okay, very good. Jimmy, my friend, thank you for thinking about me and giving me a solution."
Jimmy waved his hand and said, "We have known each other for several years. I will not harm you. Really, find someone to take the blame. Although you may spend a few more years in jail, you can still find someone as long as you are willing to spend some money."
Winston: "OK, OK, don't get excited. Now let me talk about my plan. The High Table has issued an order. Crimson Rose will be removed from the list and a family from the High Table will be responsible for handling it.
First, they will find a suitable person to guide DHS to Crimson Rose's headquarters for some reason that is still unclear. Our people will ensure that the people they organized are in the manor and as long as they follow the designated time, they will not be in vain.
The DHS people stormed it, and if anyone escaped, it would be our people who would finish it off, and no one would know. In short, this eucalyptus will end here. "
Jimmy frowned and thought for a while, then turned to look at Charon: "Charon, please give me a glass of whiskey."
Charon stood nearby, nodded and walked to the wine rack next to him.
Jimmy: "How are you sure they won't escape during this time? Perkins and his group have been dead for several days. They may have escaped by now."
Winston smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of this. All you need to consider is whether to do it yourself."
Jimmy was silent again, reaching out to take the whiskey handed over by Charon and taking a sip to moisten his throat.
If, as Winston said, someone is arranged to guide DHS to the headquarters of Crimson Rose, DHS will definitely arrange armed personnel. These people are likely to come from DHS's special counter-terrorism group. The main task of this group is to deal with homeland affairs. Security emergencies and high-risk missions are similar to the FBI's HRT team. FBI agents like Jimmy basically have no chance to show up in front of them.
If Jimmy says he wants to take action, what exactly are Winston and the others going to do? Can they do this? Infiltrate Homeland Security?
If Jimmy participates in the assault, he will indeed get part of the credit. For him, it will definitely be beneficial for him to return to the field department if such a terrorist attack-level eucalyptus can participate and have credit later.
If not, why would Winston say this to his face? Is there any special purpose? For example, let yourself be blackmailed in this battle?
It shouldn't be the case. If he really had such a plan, there was no need for Winston to say it out loud. He could just arrange for himself to go with them.
If Jimmy had taken the initiative to ask Mr. Jude to provide information before and had some thoughts of doing it himself, now Winston's words have completely dispelled his thoughts. There may be a big hole in this matter, don't
In the end, I didn't get any credit, but fell into trouble.
After finishing a glass of wine, Jimmy looked at Winston and said, "I don't have any ideas. I will handle the follow-up tasks according to the arrangements of DHS. Your arrangements do not need to consider my issues."
Winston nodded: "Understood, then I won't notify you of the action time. Once we are ready, we will arrange for someone to notify DHS. You should also be prepared."
Jimmy put the empty cup in his hand on the table, stood up and buttoned it up and said, "That's it, I'll go back first. The information I got here will not be submitted to DHS, I will just wait for your news. Goodbye. Goodbye, Winston."
Winston stood up and said, "Goodbye, Jimmy."
------------------
After leaving the Intercontinental Hotel, Jimmy walked around the intersection and took a taxi back to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. The folder in his hand still contained satellite photos of the manor, but after he entered the conference room, he took his briefcase and put it in first. This and other documents Not put together.
Winston's words have been made very clear. Although they don't know who they will be related to, they can be sure that the person they are looking for can talk to DHS and provide enough information for them to find clues. Attack the manor without completely closing it.
To achieve this step, at least the DHS Intelligence and Analysis Bureau or the Counterterrorism Intelligence Center should provide important intelligence, or the intelligence provided by high-level private individuals. In other words, the high table above the InterContinental Hotel has high-level connections in Washington, DC. We don’t even rule out having connections with high-level officials in Congress or the government, such as the Department of Defense, or senior members of the House and Senate...
Since he didn't need to go out for the time being, he took off his suit and hung it on the back of the chair, and unbuttoned the cuffs so that he could relax a little more while sitting in the chair. If the occasion wasn't right, he even wanted to loosen his belt by two clicks.
Bill sat across from Jimmy and was looking at the computer. He looked up at Jimmy, raised his eyebrows, then lowered his head and continued working. Most of the people present had taken off their suits, and there was no need to pursue such standards. It was just that everyone had a holster on their belt, and most of the spare guns were on their ankles or behind their waists. Only Jimmy had two spare holsters under his armpits. Revolver.
After a while, Bill raised his head and asked: "Jimmy, have you caught the gang boss? Have you got any results from the other people's interrogations?"
Jimmy: "No, the boss has completely disappeared, and our people are tracing it. We got some results from the interrogation, but it's meaningless. The earliest female shooter was a waiter. You know, the female killer who attacked me was the one who arranged the earliest That female shooter, but no one knows where she came from.”
Bill: "Didn't they confess anything else?"
Jimmy: "The rest has nothing to do with our terrorist attack. The two gang members who attacked me were paid by the female gunman and were not arranged by their gang."
Bill: "Please work hard and continue investigating."
Jimmy nodded and didn't do anything. Now he was sure that the information would come to him on his own, so there was no need to bother. This guy wouldn't be too far away from the enemy.
[In view of the general environment,
------------------
Jimmy and the other detectives had no weekends off at all, and had been chasing various clues. Of course, it was mainly because other people were busy, and Jimmy was basically fishing.
The ATF has made some gains, and the middleman has been arrested. The people who purchased the weapons before have not been contacted yet, and it will take some time.
Luyinzi was not idle either. The surveillance team in Jersey City discovered Francisco Montero, the leader of the Viper Gang. After putting on makeup, he came to the villa in Jersey City at midnight. After nearly a week of surveillance, the surveillance team finally found out. Gained.
Luyinzi asked people to leave overnight, and the surveillance team followed Montero who left from a distance. After staying in the villa for more than ten minutes, he drove south, all the way to Atlantic City, entered a hotel, and never returned. come out.
Lu Yinzi and the others also found out
He was so cruel that he chased him across the region and made sure that Montero checked into a hotel before calling the FBI's Philadelphia office.
The New Jersey FBI office is in Newark. Newark is the largest city in New Jersey, not far from western New York and falls within the scope of the greater New York City.
Although Atlantic City belongs to the state of New Jersey, it is managed by the FBI's Philadelphia Division. The Philadelphia Division's management scope includes eastern and southern Pennsylvania, as well as southern New Jersey.
The Philadelphia office received a call for assistance from the New York office at midnight, and could only arrange for local detectives from Atlantic City to come forward to assist. The main people who took action were the people led by Lu Yinzi.
The FBI came to the hotel in the middle of the night, which made the hotel very nervous. After showing the arrest warrant issued by the New York City Federal Court and the FBI ID, the hotel's front desk also investigated the relevant information, and arranged for a waiter to take them upstairs, swipe the card to open the door and arrest them. Everyone was done in one breath. As soon as Montero lay down before falling asleep, he was held down by a group of people.
Luyinzi thanked the detectives from the Philadelphia office and immediately drove back to New York with Montero. This time, they were able to successfully arrest Montero, the gang boss. The surveillance team really put in a lot of effort. They continuously monitored a villa for a week. 24 hours a day, the people in this team are a little overwhelmed. If Montero doesn't show up again, they will definitely report and replace them.
The interrogation of Montero went very quickly. This time it was a terrorist attack, and their people had already admitted that the two gunmen, Perkins and the waitress, knew him. If they did not want to be implicated in the terrorist attack, it was best to The only thing is to tell the truth quickly.
Which is more serious, gang crime or terrorist attack? Montero is not stupid, of course he knows how to choose.
In fact, he was not familiar with Ms. Perkins. He had only met her before but had not cooperated with her before. When Perkins contacted him and needed to arrange for someone, he directly arranged to work as a waiter at Liliana's restaurant without any objection. This was all the news.
Jimmy did not participate in the interrogation. Bill and Jack from DHS went for a separate interrogation, and the results were the same as those from Luyinz. Then they directly abandoned the Viper Gang line, which was meaningless. Lu Yinzi is left to deal with the gangsters he is responsible for.
The operation on Winston's side was carried out very quickly. It was only three days after Jimmy and Winston met. Bill from DHS arrived in the conference room early in the morning and clapped his hands, "Everyone, there is new information from the headquarters. We have already We have locked down their organizational stronghold, now we’re going to collect the materials and set off for Albany.”
Jimmy: "Is everyone coming over?"
Bill: "The intelligence officers will stay, and the field agents will set off with us. You can come with us, too."
Jimmy nodded and started packing his things. In fact, he has nothing to take. The information here belongs to DHS and he cannot take it away.
Jimmy got directly into Bill's car, and a group of people drove to Albany in several cars. It only takes three hours from New York to Albany. It is easier to drive directly. If you take a flight, you need to prepare a car in Albany, which is definitely more inconvenient.
Jimmy asked Bill on the road where the intelligence came from. Bill did not say the source, but said that it was investigated from DC headquarters. Now they can see it after they go to Albany.
It seems that the problem of intelligence sources has been solved by Bill. The forces behind Winston and the others are really not bad. It is not easy to arrange everything in three days.
Now that everything has been resolved, Jimmy is relieved and can just keep fishing. Bill can arrange to go to Albany directly. It is definitely impossible to expect them to handle the headquarters of an organization. There must be support.
By the time they got to Albany, Jimmy was right. They parked in front of a building, entered the building, and saw two people wearing body armor in a large conference room.
Bill shook hands with them and introduced them as the two captains of the Special Anti-Terrorism Team. DHS still attached great importance to this mission and directly arranged two teams of twelve people.
Everyone was in place, and a captain walked to the front, picked up a stack of information and distributed two to everyone, and then stood on the podium, "The target of this mission is the standard manor you have. According to
Reliable intelligence indicates that there are at least ten armed men in this manor. The number of others is unknown. We will use drones to investigate in the evening.
If everything goes well, we will raid the manor directly tonight and capture the leader of this organization. This arrest operation will be carried out by two of our teams. You should follow behind. If you arrest someone, bring them out immediately.
Okay, everyone can take a rest, we will set off in three hours. "
Jimmy looked at the information in his hand and curled his lips. This information was basically the same as what Mr. Jude provided him. The difference was that the second piece of paper was a satellite map, showing the overall layout of the manor, but this satellite map The accuracy is obviously not as high as the one given by Hughes. It seems that Hughes definitely used a little bit of personal connections to get the satellite photos. They may have been taken from military satellites. The one in his hand now looks more like the work of a commercial satellite.
Two hours later, someone delivered a pizza, and a group of people had lunch in the conference room. After more than an hour of rest, everyone went downstairs and got in the car to leave.
Members of the two anti-terrorism teams set off in two SUVs, which didn't look so formal. Under normal circumstances, if HRT is dispatched, it will either be an armored vehicle or a helicopter, but they can only drive civilian vehicles. This gap is too big.
After all, DHS has only been established for a short period of time, and it is understandable that it has not yet prepared the necessary vehicles in various places.
When they arrived near the manor, two small drones took off. Because the drones were noisy, they could only fly relatively high. However, they successfully circled the area near the manor's main house. The detailed terrain and The surrounding security positions had been explored, and the drones returned soon. After that, everyone put on their body armor, arranged their firearms, and waited for the night raid.
