The follow-up investigation of this case is very cumbersome. After all, it is a large estate and a thorough investigation requires a lot of people. In addition to people from the DHS headquarters in DC, a group of people were also mobilized from various agencies of the subordinate departments in New York State. , the entire manor was very lively in the next few days, and exciting clues slowly emerged one after another.
Under Jimmy's deliberate and deliberate guidance, Bill finally discovered the tunnel in the warehouse. This was already the third day of their raid on the manor.
The next day, Bill and the others cooperated in searching all the buildings. However, as for the tunnel in the warehouse, because it was under the grass, you would not know there was a tunnel without searching carefully. They went in and out of the warehouse several times, but Bill and the others did not find it.
Jimmy couldn't wait any longer. On the third day, he directly arranged for someone to move all the things in the warehouse with him. Finally, there was the hay pile. After only moving a few bags of hay, he found an empty shell. The straw bag was fixed with steel frames inside. When moving it, I noticed the difference, so I took out two more steel frames from the inside, and the tunnel entrance was exposed.
Hey, for this tunnel, it’s really not easy to perform a show, move a warehouse, and give the credit to DHS.
Bill looked at Jimmy with an interesting expression, but he didn't say anything. He waved and asked Jimmy to accompany him into the tunnel. The two crawled forward. After passing two corners, they were in a woods near the road. came out.
Bill lowered his head and patted the dirt on his body, and suddenly said: "How do you know?"
Jimmy: "Guess. It is impossible for this kind of stronghold without tunnels. All other places have been checked. Only the warehouse has not been checked because there are too many things."
Bill patted the dirt, stood up, looked around, and walked to the road ahead: "I will write a report for you."
Jimmy: "Thank you."
Bill took out his mobile phone, checked the current latitude and longitude, called his colleagues, and asked them to pick up the two people based on the coordinates, and also brought a temporary monitoring team over.
Bill looked at the vehicles on the road and said in a low voice: "There are some problems with the intelligence this time, but no one will pursue it, so the case is over."
Jimmy: "What's next? Has the identity of the arrested person been confirmed?"
Bill: "That's everyone else's problem. Our case has been solved. I know you may not understand..."
Jimmy: "No, I understand. Bill, no need to explain, everyone has this kind of time, especially in our profession."
Bill turned to look at Jimmy, nodded, and looked at the traffic on the highway again, "If you have time to come to DC, remember to call me."
Jimmy: "Okay."
The detectives at the manor soon arrived here. Bill took the surveillance team to look at the tunnel. This was obviously an escape passage prepared by the people in the manor. The temporary surveillance team needed to install a wireless surveillance camera nearby, and then monitor the surrounding area. Conduct a round of investigation and check the surrounding area for anything suspicious.
The discovery of a new escape passage further proves the problems of this manor. How can ordinary rich people prepare such a passage? Moreover, digging such a long passage cannot be done in a day or two, and the manpower used will definitely not be able to do it. few.
Bill was more active than before. After returning to the manor, he immediately arranged for everyone who had time to re-investigate all the buildings and conduct a more detailed investigation of the items found in the room, including fingerprint information.
The people captured by the manor are the same as the previous people. They have no information at all in the official database. Others only know their names, and of course the names are also fake.
The clue Bill is looking for now is to find fingerprint information or photos on an item here related to several unidentified people who were shot dead in New York.
The server and laptop have been arranged for the technical department to handle. I hope to come up with some information as soon as possible.
Throughout the entire investigation process, Jimmy basically didn't interfere anymore. Apart from the police officers who were arranged to watch the scene, Jimmy was the only outsider present.
The FBI is an agency under the Department of Justice. DHS has no direct departmental relationship with the FBI. However, after 9/11, DHS has natural priority when it comes to terrorist attack cases.
Since the case was taken over by DHS, in principle, his role in the investigation team is as a liaison between the FBI and DHS. It would not be a good thing for him to intervene in this kind of on-site investigation. Although it would not be said to be beyond his authority, it is still very serious. It is easy to arouse the opinions of Bill and the others. Of course, Bill's attitude towards Jimmy is much better now.
Bill just told Jimmy that this case is over, and Kevin and Nia can almost be brought back. Jimmy took out his cell phone, thought about it and decided to temporarily inform Nia of their current situation. As for returning, he would wait a few days. He had not returned to New York yet.
Kevin took the phone from Nia, and in addition to asking about the current progress, he also specifically asked Montero, the boss of the Viper Gang.
Jimmy was a little surprised: "What? Montero contacted you?"
Kevin: "Well, he called me one night a few days ago, but I just said I was traveling and hung up. What happened?"
Jimmy: "The Viper Gang has become history. They were eliminated by the bureau. A few days ago, Montero returned to the villa to get some things, and then went to Atlantic City. He was probably preparing to escape. We discovered him and captured him directly. "
Kevin: "When will you take action?"
Jimmy: "I wasn't involved, but I remember it was around 3 a.m. in the information."
Kevin: "I understand, then it's okay. Okay, you continue to work, we will stay here for another week."
Jimmy: "Okay, bye, Kevin."
Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at the busy Bill and others. There is nothing going on here. Jimmy thought for a moment and called others to the side, "Bill, is there anything else that needs to be dealt with here?"
Bill looked at Jimmy and raised his eyebrows: "You want to go back?"
Jimmy shrugged, "I basically have nothing to do here. If you have nothing to arrange over there, I will go back to New York to rest for a few days."
Bill thought for a while, then nodded and patted Jimmy's arm: "That's okay. You can sign it when I go back to get the report, and have a good rest for a few days."
Jimmy stretched out his hand to shake hands with others and said goodbye: "That's it, I'll go back to New York first, and you can continue your work."
Bill arranged for an agent to take Jimmy to the airport. Although Albany was not far from New York, Jimmy did not drive and came in Bill's car.
Carrying a gun on a plane is still troublesome, but it just requires a process, and Jimmy is used to it.
Back in New York, Jimmy didn't plan to go to work. Now that he was fishing openly, if he showed up to work by himself, he would be out of his mind.
After a night's rest, the next day he first took the shot CLS out of the station parking lot and took it directly to the 4S store.
Jimmy had contacted the insurance company before. In view of Jimmy's occupation and the situation in which the car was involved in a shootout, the insurance company required Jimmy to send the car to a 4S shop for a complete evaluation before determining the repair cost.
Going through the insurance process is the most troublesome. Now that Jimmy has more time and is free, he has the opportunity to deal with insurance matters. The key is that the people from the insurance company gave Jimmy a little reminder in person. This time They will pay compensation in accordance with the contract, but Jimmy's insurance amount may increase later, and the details need to be confirmed later.
Jimmy was helpless. Could it be that the car was shot at on purpose? But since the insurance company said so, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't go back and try another insurance company.
The repair of the CLS took a long time. The store temporarily provided Jimmy with a second-hand C240 for him to use, which also avoided the trouble of Jimmy needing to buy another car. The reason why he only got one C240 is because Jimmy wanted it urgently and there was no other model to choose from, so he just made do with it. After all, it was better than his Mercury.
Driving a makeshift C240, Jimmy arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel. I called on the way here. Charon was off today and was not at the hotel, but Winston was always there, so it wasn't a big problem.
The guy at the front desk had already received the call. After Jimmy reported his name, he took him to the underground bar.
Although it was daytime, there were still many people in the underground bar, but there was no performance on the stage now. Winston was still sitting in his old position, wearing glasses and playing the crossword puzzle in the newspaper. Jimmy came and sat down opposite Winston, "Winston."
Winston looked up at Jimmy, took off his glasses with a smile and said, "Jimmy, are you done over there?"
Jimmy: "Well, they are investigating and interrogating at the manor now, so I will come back first."
Winston: "Well done. It seems you have gained a lot."
Jimmy: "Then it's none of my business. What about you? Is this matter over?"
Winston: "Of course, that's the end of it."
Jimmy: "What about that training camp they have in Canada?"
Winston: "Oh, they have nothing to do with your current affairs. Crimson Rose's organization has been cleared away, and the remaining ones are just minor characters. There is no need to worry."
Jimmy: "I'm definitely fine myself. I'm mainly worried about my family. You know, I'm getting married soon, only in a few months."
Winston: "I promise, they'll be fine."
Jimmy took a deep breath and let it out slowly: "Okay, I hope that's the case."
Winston: "OK, now that that's settled, let's have a drink. Addy, a glass of bourbon."
Winston waved to the bar, and the beautiful bartender Adi smiled and nodded, turned around to get the drink, took a cup from under the bar, poured it and brought it over, "Mr. Yang, Booker Bourbon."
Jimmy picked up the glass: "Thanks, Adi."
Winston raised his martini and took a sip, "What are your plans after that?"
Jimmy: "Me? I don't have any ideas. I'm an FBI agent, so I naturally handle cases. My biggest plan in the recent period is to properly handle the wedding." Of course, Jimmy still had one sentence he didn't say. He wanted to find a way to reply. to the field department.
Winston: "Oh, I see."
Jimmy: "Winston, I just have something I want to talk to you about."
Winston: "Oh? Please tell me."
Jimmy: "This period is really troublesome. Can your people please keep them quiet and let me run the wedding properly? I am not always so restrained, and New York cannot have any more terrorist attacks." .”
There was no change in Winston's expression. He just remained silent for a moment and then said, "I can try."
Jimmy: "That'd be best. Cheers."
Jimmy finished his drink, stood up, said goodbye and left. Winston just stood up and watched Jimmy leave, then sat down, put on his glasses, and continued working on the crossword puzzle with his pencil.
Jimmy actually had one question he didn't ask, mainly because he didn't know if it was the right question to ask.
Winston said before that the High Table arranged for a family to handle this matter. DHS raided the manor. If anyone escaped, the family they arranged would handle it. Jimmy and his team's raid should be very effective. I really don't know if there is any. He escaped, so he actually wanted to ask about it just now.
But I didn't ask until I left because it involved another family. Whether this kind of mafia family was suitable to ask was also a question. What's more, even if they caught someone, they might not tell themselves.
After all, Jimmy is an FBI agent. If he really asks about some things about the Mafia family, they may be regarded as a provocation to them. No one wants to put a clue in the hands of the FBI, even if the clue may not be harmful at all.
Back at the apartment, Jimmy simply packed up, called Bill, and then booked a flight to Anchorage, Alaska. After getting ready, he packed his suitcase and headed to JFK Airport to fly to Alaska, the northernmost state in the United States. state.
Jimmy rented an SUV from the airport and set off, using the navigation according to the address given by Nia, and finally arrived at the vacation cabin rented by his family of three at night.
When Nia opened the door and saw Jimmy standing outside, she screamed and jumped directly into his arms. The Kevin couple behind also looked at the scene of their reunion and smiled happily.
After hugging Kevin and his wife, Jimmy could finally take off his thick coat. "Alaska is not as cold as I thought. I thought I would have to drive in ice and snow."
Kevin: "You're overthinking it. It's September now, and it's not the time yet. If it were more than a month later, you could see heavy snow."
Kevin and Jimmy sat on the sofa, and Nia and her mother left the living room to let them have a good chat, and poured Jimmy a cup of hot tea before leaving.
Jimmy: "Well, I haven't seen a heavy snow day in a long, long time. The snow in New York doesn't feel that way."
Kevin: "Then let's change places? Go to the North Pole? Hahaha. How are you handling things there?"
Jimmy: "No problem. I'm here just to have fun with you, and then we'll go back to New York together."
Kevin: "OK, let's change places tomorrow. I've been living here for more than a week and I'm really tired of seeing the surrounding scenery."
