Ruiz was very well-informed. The 911 call center actually informed him within a few hours. Someone from the NYPD must have tipped him off, and they also recognized the gangster who died. The identity of the molecule.
Jimmy checked the time and continued to make breakfast. After Nia washed and changed her clothes and came out, Jimmy told Nia the case Ruiz mentioned while eating breakfast.
Nia: "Is this person related to your case?"
Jimmy: "Well, the deceased in the previous arson murder case belonged to the same gangster family."
Nia: "Then I'll go to the police station and help you take a look."
Jimmy: "Let me go with you. By the way, I'll ask the police officer on duty last night about the situation at the scene."
After breakfast, Jimmy and Nia filled the thermos cups with coffee and left the apartment.
I still feel uncomfortable drinking low-quality coffee in the office. A thermos cup can meet the coffee needs of the morning. It is very suitable for professionals like Jimmy and others, especially when they need to go out, it is very convenient to put it in the car.
In addition to maintaining the temperature of hot water, the thermos cup can also be used to directly put ice cubes and cold drinks when needed. The cold preservation effect is also very good.
Nia helped contact the people at the police station, and Jimmy and the others quickly got the phone number of the police officer who handled the case in the early morning. Since they were already off duty, they contacted directly by phone to confirm the location of the crime and the identity of the dead gang member.
Jimmy left the police station and did not return to the office. Instead, he called Louis and asked him to come out to meet and chat. When I went to Lewis's house before, I found that he had children at home, so it was better not to talk about these things at his house, although it would be easier to go to his house and find him directly.
In an open parking lot, Jimmy stood next to the car. Louis walked over from the intersection. At the corner, a man stopped behind him without showing up.
Jimmy: "Louis, what are you doing?"
Lewis looked at Jimmy with a cold face, and did not answer his question, but said directly: “I don’t know what you are talking about, I am not your subordinate, don’t call me again, and I am not your informant. "
Jimmy looked at Louis: "Your affairs have nothing to do with me. What I want to ask is, is what happened early this morning related to my murder case? You don't have many soldiers under your command, and two of them are dead now."
Louis took two deep breaths, shut up and did not answer Jimmy's question.
Jimmy: "Don't tell me? Do you want Agent Ruiz to visit in person?"
Ruiz is the boss of the organized crime investigation team. As a Mafia family, they must know. If he doesn't know who Ruiz is, Jimmy must seriously consider whether this person is a qualified mafia member. .
Louis looked at Jimmy for a while and said, "That matter has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, he turned and left. Jimmy watched Louis turn and disappear in front of him. The person who stopped at the intersection but did not appear followed Louis and left. Then he got in the car and started to return to the office.
There is nothing surprising about Louis' attitude. He is a mafia after all, and it is impossible for him to fully cooperate with Jimmy, especially since their actions actually resulted in the death of a person. If this is really investigated, there may be some problems.
He has been cooperating with Jimmy before. On the one hand, Jimmy has a relatively big reputation. If there is no special reason, it is best not to provoke such an enemy. On the other hand, he also hopes to claim the bodies of his men as soon as possible and prepare a return for him. Even a grand funeral is what a boss should do.
All Jimmy needs is to confirm whether it is related to his case, because Louis should know his men. If there are such enemies who kill people and set fire to corpses, he should be able to think of some people who might do this.
What Jimmy was most worried about was that after they identified the clues, they would directly take revenge themselves, leaving an unsolved case on their side.
Back in the office, Jimmy came to Ruiz, took the Lotariano family information from him, and returned to his office to conduct a new round of investigation on everyone in the information.
In the absence of other clues, it would be safest to look for clues directly from the people in their gang, especially Luis, Marco's superior. After his intelligence and interpersonal relationships are found out, it will be easier to communicate with him in the future.
Jimmy has an appointment tonight, and Peter invites him to his home. For such an invitation to visit, it was obvious that Jimmy needed to go with Nia. Jimmy and Nia had already said that they would pick her up after get off work and go to the appointment together.
Jimmy and Nia came to the door of Peter's house and pressed the doorbell. Peter got up from the sofa and came over to open the door, "Hi, Jimmy, Nia."
Jimmy handed the red wine in his hand to Peter, greeted each other, and the two entered the house.
Elizabeth came out of the kitchen to greet them, took off her gloves and hugged Nia, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll end it soon."
Jimmy and the others arrived a little early, and Elizabeth had to work in the kitchen for a while.
Peter and Jimmy were chatting in the living room, and they also mentioned the reason for hosting Jimmy this time. He had agreed to Bruce's invitation from DC headquarters and would go to Washington DC with Elizabeth in three weeks.
At dinner time, for Jimmy, a believer, Peter and the others specially prayed before the meal. Jimmy was a little surprised. He hadn't been to church for a long time and couldn't remember it.
Elizabeth raises a glass to thank Jimmy for saving her and Peter, for the previous case where Peter and Elizabeth were kidnapped. After the kidnapping case ended, Jimmy did not meet Elizabeth again. This time they got together, which just gave her a chance to thank Jimmy.
They didn't talk much during dinner. After the meal, Jimmy and Peter took their wine glasses to the small balcony at the back door.
Peter looked at the small garden in front of him and suddenly asked: "Last time we were kidnapped, did you spend a lot of money?"
Jimmy held the cup and turned to look at Peter. He didn't look at Jimmy, but still stared at the small garden, "Well, it takes a little investment to find you in a short time. But it doesn't matter, it's all over."
Peter: "Anyway, thank you for everything. One more thing, this time I was transferred to DC, it was arranged in advance by someone."
Jimmy: "You can guess that."
Peter: "In exchange, I can bring someone over. Are you interested?"
Jimmy looked at Peter. There was no way he didn't know the reason for being transferred to DC this time. Why did he still need to take him with him? My personality is completely incompatible with his. A good old man and a butcher are totally incompatible. Besides, if you want to bring your own people, Jones and Diana are pretty good.
Jimmy: "Why don't you take Jones and Diana there?"
Peter: "Diana is pregnant, and she had already worked in DC for a period of time before being transferred back to Manhattan. As for Jones, I haven't decided yet."
Jimmy: "By the way, how is Mahone doing these days?"
Peter turned to look at Jimmy and understood his attitude. After taking a sip of wine, he said: "Ma Hong is very good. Although he is not very familiar with financial crimes and art crimes, he gets started quickly."
Jimmy: "You're leaving Jones with Mahone?"
Peter: "Well, I have this idea. The entire team cannot leave. Jones is the best support staff. He has been following me all these years. I know him and he is very capable. Maybe he is the best candidate for the next team leader. .”
Jimmy: "Let nature take its course. Besides, it's not like you won't come back after you go to DC. You should be promoted to ASAC this time when you go to DC, right? Maybe next time you return to Manhattan, you might already be a SAC."
Peter smiled and raised his glass and clinked it with Jimmy: "I hope so." He turned his head and looked through the window at Elizabeth in the room. She and Nia were sitting on the sofa chatting. "I'm just a little sorry for Elizabeth. She will lose a lot of business if she leaves New York this time."
Jimmy: "Maybe this is an opportunity. Although Washington DC is not as prosperous as New York, there are more political activities there. Maybe Elizabeth can open up some new fields. This is not necessarily a bad thing."
Peter also smiled. It was already an established fact. Naturally, everything needed to be moved forward. This time he was able to escape unscathed and was even promoted after going to Washington DC. The reasons and process have been figured out in these days. This is the best result.
Peter: "If you have time, Mahone, please help me tell him that Neil Caffrey is not so easy to work with. Be careful, especially his friends, friends who are not convenient to appear in front of us. I I think he should be able to solve these problems, but I don’t know if he will suffer some losses.”
Jimmy: "Yeah, I will. I'll thank you on his behalf. Is there anything else you need to take care of before you leave?"
Peter: "Nothing. Elizabeth will take care of her company's affairs, and the house has been listed with the agency. All that's left is to wait for the time to come and then head directly to DC."
Jimmy: "Did you say goodbye to Hughes and the others?"
Peter: "Well, don't worry, I will take care of it. Let's go back."
——
Jimmy and Nia returned to the apartment, and Nia said as she took off her coat, "Is this goodbye, Peter?"
Jimmy: "Well, after leaving New York this time, he probably won't be able to come back for a long time."
Nia: "Is it still a follow-up to the previous incident? That senator."
Jimmy took off his suit and sat on the sofa, "Well, that incident had a big impact. There was a big change in the middle level of the Manhattan office."
Nia: "Does your return to the field have anything to do with this?"
Jimmy: "Well, it has something to do with it, but it doesn't have much to do with me. Peter is a directly related party. It was very difficult for him to get the results he has now."
Nia: "What about you? Will you leave the Manhattan office and go to other branches?"
Jimmy: "At least not for the time being. The Manhattan office has gone through so many changes. They won't mess with us in the short term. Don't worry, although office politics exists in many places, it also requires some compromise."
Nia: "That's good. I don't know what I would do if you changed to another branch. I'm not like Elizabeth who runs a company, and it's impossible for the NYPD to resign and leave at any time."
Jimmy: "Don't worry, even if I want to change places, I can't ask you all to come with me. Peter is under special circumstances this time, and he made a mistake. It seems that he did get promoted when he went to DC this time, but his next step The arrangement won’t necessarily be good.”
Nia: "Yeah, I understand. I'm going to take a shower."
Nia left the living room, and Jimmy was thinking about what Peter said. It seemed that he was still worried about Neil Caffrey. On the surface, it was to allow Mahone to better use Neal to assist him in handling cases, but it also explained part of Neal's value, so that Mahone would not be too harsh on Neal when he violated the rules.
Hey, this pair of living treasures, haven't they ever thought that the pain they are experiencing now is all because of their relationship?
——
The next day, Jimmy returned to the office and received a call from the medical examiner's office at noon. The DNA matching had been completed, but it was very bad news. None of the three corpses were related to Mrs. Melissa.
Jimmy hung up the phone and sat on a chair, his expression a little unsightly.
Could the Melissa that Louis found for him be fake?
Jimmy took out the information he had gotten back from Ruiz, found Luis's copy and read it again.
This is a very traditional mafia. It is suspected that he has a lot of criminal records but no actual evidence, so he has never been caught in jail. Such a person would use such things that are obviously going to be exposed to fool an FBI agent. Member? He shouldn't be that stupid.
Jimmy got up and went to the fax machine to get the test report from the medical examiner's office, read it carefully, copied the conclusion page, and then left the office.
Jimmy knocked on Louis' door directly. The woman he had seen before came and opened the door. Jimmy said: "I'm looking for Louis. I know he is at home."
The woman turned her head and glanced at Lewis in the living room. He nodded, and the woman opened the door.
Jimmy: "Where's Mrs. Melissa?"
Louis: "She went back to wait for news and prepare for Marco's funeral. What happened?"
Jimmy: "Are you sure about her identity?"
Louis: "Of course. Any questions?"
Jimmy: "None of the three corpses match her DNA. I think you should understand what this means. Now, tell me, is the person you are looking for real? Or, tell me, where is Marco?"
Lewis' eyes widened, "Are you sure?"
Jimmy: "It's science, Mrs. Melissa and all three bodies don't match."
Louis' eyes narrowed, he looked at Jimmy and said: "I understand, I'm sorry, I don't know the situation, but I will figure it out. Now, I need to go out."
Jimmy nodded: "You have my phone number and I'm waiting for news from you. Louis, for the love of God, don't embarrass me."
Louis stretched out his hand and gestured to the door: "Please."
Jimmy stood up and left. Louis whispered a few words to the woman and left the room. Jimmy sat in the car and watched from a distance as Louis got into a car and left, and he followed behind. (End of chapter)
