The on-site investigation was left to Jones and Diana. They had just called an ambulance and arranged for forensic officers from the bureau to come and investigate. At the same time, the two robbers + kidnapper also needed to be sent to the hospital, and someone needed to supervise them in the hospital. , these things are too cumbersome, and Jimmy is not interested in participating.
Now that Peter and Elizabeth are safe, they can wait until they return to the FBI office and make some notes for them before sending Elizabeth back. As for Peter, just work overtime at the Bureau.
Jimmy walked out of the power distribution station, stood outside and lit a cigarette. He looked around and found a homeless man in a corner. He was well disguised and looked similar to the homeless people he usually saw, except that he stole from time to time. Targeting Jimmy's position exposed him. This guy must be King Bowery's spy.
After thinking about it, Jimmy took out the phone and called Winston: "Good evening, Winston. Thank you."
Winston: "It seems your matter has been resolved."
Jimmy: "Yes. It went very well. The person has been rescued. Can you please Charon to help me send the reward? Two hundred thousand. Now that it has been solved, we need to settle the matter early so that I will not forget it later."
Winston: "Of course, no problem. So, that's it? I think you should be busy."
Jimmy: "Well, I have to go back to the interrogation and report writing. Thank you. Goodbye, Winston."
Winston: "Goodbye, Jimmy."
Jimmy hung up the phone and continued to smoke. After Peter and Jones finished handling the scene, the group left the abandoned power distribution station and returned to the office.
In the elevator, Peter said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, write a report when you get back." Then he leaned into his ear and said: "Think carefully about the reason for shooting."
Jimmy nodded. He had thought about this problem when he was smoking. Although he was sure that Peter and his wife were not dead, he was not sure whether they were injured. The man standing had a pistol in his hand, which was an obvious threat. That's why he shot immediately.
But the woman on the second floor did not have a weapon in her hand, and she was far away from Peter and the others. The only uncertainty was that it was unclear whether there were weapons on the second floor, so he fired directly.
No matter what, the result was that he shot an unarmed suspect, something that would definitely get him picked on.
This matter can be big or small, and it won't threaten your career, but you may be disgusted by OPR for a while, and you may even be detained in the Public Affairs Office for a while.
Jimmy did not rush back to his office, but followed Peter and the others to their conference room first, where everyone involved in the operation was waiting.
After a while, Deputy Director Dave and Mrs. Mason came over together. Dave sat at the head of the conference table and Mrs. Mason took the first seat on his left.
Dave looked at the people in the conference room and said, "Is everyone here? Let's get started. Peter, tell me, what's going on?"
Peter was sitting in the first seat on the right, "Okay. What happened today was an accident. There was a car accident some time ago. My wife and I agreed to go on vacation this weekend to relax. In the morning we drove to a boutique. There is During this exhibition, you can see Queen Mary's perfume bottles in advance.
After the visit, Elizabeth and I left the boutique. When we got into the car, someone threatened me with a gun and robbed my car. Elizabeth and I were also hijacked.
After the car drove two blocks, the robber Nate took away my and Elizabeth's mobile phones and threw them into the trash can. Then they took them to an abandoned power distribution station in Brooklyn, where one of the robbers, Penny, took away the phone. It was converted into their temporary residence in advance, and they have been living in it since Nate escaped from prison.
My car was abandoned by the robber Nate, and he got another car to use as a vehicle for his third robbery.
In the afternoon, he found my ID and the gun in my bag was also found. He did not shoot me, but threatened me with Elizabeth to cooperate with him in the robbery. The robbery will be tomorrow morning.
At night, the SWAT team, my team members, and Jimmy raided the power distribution station, injured two robbers, and rescued us. That's all that's passed. "
Peter turned his head and glanced at Jimmy, then looked at Dave again: "In addition, there is a special situation that needs to be added about the robber Nate.
We learn through Penny that Nate was sentenced to fifteen years for assaulting a police officer and spent nearly three years in prison before escaping.
But there were some problems with his conviction for assaulting a police officer. The police officer might have lied. Nate went to steal car parts. When the police came, they caught him and turned the theft into an assault on a police officer and submitted it to the prosecutor.
The police officer was later suspended due to improper investigation. There must be problems with this case, and he should not be sentenced to fifteen years. "
Dave: "This has nothing to do with us. So you and Elizabeth were kidnapped because they robbed the boutique and took you at gunpoint, right?"
Peter nodded, "But they didn't hurt us, at least not yet. So, Jimmy, they are worthy of death."
Dave: "Don't excuse them, kidnapping an FBI agent, that's a federal felony. Jimmy, what crimes could they be involved in?"
Jimmy glanced at Peter and said: "At least seven charges can be prosecuted, federal kidnapping and coercion, robbery and armed robbery, unlawful imprisonment, possession of illegal weapons, and vehicle theft.
I think the federal prosecutor's office should be able to give more professional advice, and other charges cannot be ruled out.
By the way, Nate escaped from prison some time ago, and he needs to add one of escaping from prison and evading law enforcement officers. I doubt if he caused any harm to the police when he escaped from prison. If so, he needs to add another one of assaulting a police officer.
I think we also need to contact the federal marshals to see what information they have. "
Dave: "Peter, do you have any objections?"
Peter shook his head: "Jimmy is right, but this case should not need to be transferred to the federal marshals. We are responsible for the federal kidnapping crime."
Dave: "OK, that's it. You contact the prosecutor's office and the bailiff to confirm the charges and close the case as soon as possible."
Peter nodded, "I'll take care of it."
Dave: "Mrs. Mason, where are you?"
Mrs. Mason: "The information is still blocked for the time being, and no media requests have been received yet."
Dave: "That's it, block the news for the time being and don't let outsiders know the specific situation."
Dave and Mrs. Mason got up and were about to leave, but stopped again, "Jimmy, come with me."
Jimmy stood up and followed Dave and Mrs. Mason out of the conference room. Mrs. Mason went directly to the elevator. Dave took Jimmy to an empty conference room. "You did a good job today. I heard that the clue is you." Looking for it?”
Jimmy: "Yes, I asked some friends to help."
Dave: "Who?"
Jimmy: "Sorry, Dave, it's not convenient to make this public. His identity is a bit sensitive."
Dave nodded: "As long as the result is good, it seems that even though you have only been in New York for four or five years, you have met a lot of people."
Jimmy didn't know how to answer this. No matter how he said it, there was something wrong. He could only look at Dave in embarrassment and said nothing.
Dave: "The new supervisor in the field will be in place soon. You have been doing less in the field recently to avoid being caught. Forget it this time. From now on, you should be more honest and stay in the public area." Don’t come out of the affairs office casually.”
Jimmy: "Dave, when can I go back to the field?"
Dave sighed, "Wait a minute, the matter hasn't been resolved yet, now is not the time. Please go back and contact Hughes."
Jimmy: "About what?"
Dave: "Go talk to him and see how he's doing now."
Jimmy: "Okay, I understand."
It seemed that there might be something wrong with Hughes, and Dave was a little worried about his condition. He just didn't know whether he was worried about what Hughes had done, or whether he was worried about Hughes's psychological problems.
Dave: "Do you have any plans? Which department will you go to after returning to the field?"
Jimmy: "I follow the leadership's arrangements. I can go to any department you want."
Dave: "You... okay, you can go back."
Dave opened the door to the conference room and left. Jimmy also went to the office upstairs and started writing a report.
This report is not easy to write. The intelligence side can only be called informants. He can't really write down the source of the intelligence in the report.
The problem is that he is no longer a field agent, and he used to be in the homicide unit. Even the acting team leader is not qualified to recruit informants. Informants need to report in advance, so that the informant fee can be reimbursed.
This kind of purely personal informant, sometimes the procedure is really incorrect. It depends on whether someone comes to make trouble later. If this happens, it is probably necessary to borrow someone from King Bowery. Used.
It was already dark when he returned to the FBI office after rescuing Peter. Now he still needed to make up the report. Of course, he had to call Nia in advance to tell her. This is a professional characteristic, and both Nia and him could do it at any time. There is no way to predict the overtime occupation in advance.
By the time Jimmy finished writing the report, Nia had already laid down to sleep when he got home. He didn't have any late-night snacks, so he took a shower and rested.
The next day, Jimmy arrived at the office and took the written report to Peter's office and handed it to him. Looking at Peter's tired look, he asked, "You didn't go back yesterday?"
Peter: "I'm back, but Elizabeth was frightened and didn't sleep very well last night."
Jimmy: "Well, this is the first time she has encountered this kind of thing, so it's understandable. The reports are here, you can handle the rest. By the way, get it done as soon as possible before the new supervisor comes. It seems that something is wrong with her position. .”
Peter: "Yeah. Yesterday's robber survived, you know, right?"
Jimmy: "I don't know. I didn't ask the hospital. It doesn't matter whether he lives or not. According to his crime, he will probably stay in prison until he dies of old age. Have you contacted the prosecutor's office? They How to say?"
Peter nodded: "Not yet, we will deal with it today. You go back first, I will communicate with them at OPR."
Jimmy was a little speechless. Peter really focused on what he was most worried about as soon as he opened his mouth. If Hughes was still there, he must have tried to find a way to ask Hughes to do it. Now, if Peter is willing to speak for him, then It could not be better.
He could guess that the new supervisor's stance was wrong, mainly from Dave's attitude, but Peter could probably guess it too. After all, he was also connected with the above, so he could just mention it casually.
Nodding, Jimmy left Peter's office and called Hughes to make sure he was at home. Jimmy did not return to his office and went directly to find Hughes.
Dave specifically called himself out to talk last night. Although he only mentioned this at the end, he was obedient. The reason he called himself out to talk was to fall on Hughes.
Arriving at the Hughes house, he was alone at home. Hughes asked Jimmy to sit down while he went to make coffee.
Hughes came over with two cups of coffee and put them on the coffee table. "Is there anything wrong with Peter? Is he not injured?"
Jimmy nodded: "Yesterday's matter has been resolved. Peter and the others are fine. The two kidnappers are somewhat abnormal. But they are so unlucky that this happened to them, and Peter's gun is in the bag. He left it, but didn't put it on him, he was too lax."
Hughes: "It's understandable. I asked him to take over Ruiz's current position a few years ago and move to a few more positions to gain more experience, but he always refused. Handling white-collar and art cases all year round is still not enough. For other He wasn’t sensitive enough about the case.”
Jimmy still couldn't answer this. The words of these big guys always gave people a headache from time to time.
Hughes didn't wait for Jimmy to reply. He took a sip of coffee and sighed: "Peter is smart, capable, resourceful, emotionally intelligent, and has a good relationship with everyone. What a pity."
Jimmy: "Will you have a hard time going this time?"
Hughes nodded: "Some people don't want us to have an easy life."
Jimmy: "Will management be involved?"
Hughes: "It's possible. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. What did you want to say when you came here this time?"
Jimmy laughed: "Haha, it's okay. I was just warned last night. I need to stay quiet and not run around. I'm here to have a cup of coffee."
Hughes: "Mason? No, no. Dave?"
Jimmy nodded, Hughes: "It seems that it has been decided. I originally wanted to transfer you back in the near future, but now I have to wait."
Jimmy: "You are all Riddlers. I am the only one who is confused and has no idea what you are talking about."
Hughes smiled slightly, "It's not a bad thing not to know. This matter has nothing to do with you. At least you have to get to Peter's position."
Jimmy: "Can you tell me? Even just a little bit. You guys always make me feel like I'm not very intelligent, and I feel confused and uncomfortable."
Hughes: "The positions above are limited. If some people want to occupy more, they have to leave their positions, but this will make many people uncomfortable. Don't think too much, it may take five or ten years before your position is available." You're still too young to worry about it now. By the way, if you go back to the field, where do you want to go?"
Jimmy: "No idea, I can go anywhere."
Hughes: "Well, don't imitate Peter. Stay in a few groups for a while and get familiar with it."
Jimmy nodded: "I don't have any objections. It will take at least ten more years for me to sit in your position. I'm only thirty years old, so I have a lot of time."
Hughes frowned slightly. Jimmy's words gave him some ideas. He reached out to stop Jimmy's words, picked up the coffee cup and drank coffee while thinking about something.
After a while, Hughes put the empty cup on the coffee table, looked at Jimmy and said, "Jimmy, are you interested in changing places?"
Jimmy blinked, a little surprised, "What did you say?"
Hughes: "We'll talk about this later. By the way, I may work part-time at the FBI Former Agents Association in the future."
Jimmy: "Ah, congratulations, where will you go? Headquarters? Chapter or division?"
Hughes: "It's not confirmed yet. I'll let you know when it's confirmed."
Jimmy: "Well, if you really go there, can I consider getting a commemorative medal in the near future? Hahaha"
Hughes: "You? Wait a few more years. You are not qualified now. If you have the opportunity, set up a small association or fund to gild yourself. It will be good for your future."
Jimmy: "I understand. I'll find someone later to figure out how to deal with it."
Hughes nodded: "When is your wedding?"
Jimmy: "We haven't set a specific date yet, but it should be March or May, there are still a few months left."
Hughes: "Well, get married as soon as possible. Married men are more stable and often more reliable."
The business talk was over, and all that was left were some casual topics. After Jimmy finished his coffee, he said goodbye and left, returning to the office.
