Jimmy hung up the phone and looked up at the Federal Plaza Building. Something was wrong with Ruiz, very wrong. He was a little over-sensitive. Jimmy just told him that he wanted him to come out and talk about Seventeen, and he blocked all the roads. .
I have a close friendship with Ruiz. If I went to him for help in the past, I would almost never be rejected. Why are I so nervous this time?
David came out of the anti-terrorism department and then spent some time in the homicide unit. He should not be one of Ruiz's people. After all, he just joined the anti-gangster group not long ago. Why can he gain so much trust from Ruiz?
Excluding the situation where David was assigned a special task by Ruiz, there are only two possibilities.
First, Seventeen did have something going on, but Ruiz was also involved. He couldn't let Jimmy, an unstable factor, intervene, as it would get out of control too easily.
Jimmy is different from others. Although he is young, his efficiency and success rate in handling cases are too high, and his combat effectiveness is a bit excessive. If an accident really happens, some people may not be able to see the moonlight. Maybe among these people Including Ruiz himself, because Jimmy's attitude towards drug dealers is very clear.
Second, Seventeen is indeed involved. Ruiz also inferred from this case, so he may have to keep Jimmy out of this case in order to save Seventeen. Otherwise, as long as there is any resistance, Seventeen may Killed directly by Jimmy.
Seventeen is his single-line undercover agent. Even if it violates laws and regulations, he is still an FBI agent. This kind of situation where he may die at the hands of his own people must be avoided as much as possible.
It's not a big problem for others to intervene in this case. As long as the person is still there, they can always make some deals in exchange for Shi Qi to survive, or even avoid being imprisoned.
Jimmy couldn't help but start to wonder whether Ruiz was doing it for Seventeen or for himself. As a friend, Jimmy really didn't want Ruiz to be in cahoots with Seventeen. If it was just to make some money by smuggling luxury goods, then it wouldn't matter. But drug trafficking... was Ruiz involved, and how deep was his involvement?
Jimmy started the car and left Federal Plaza. In this case, he definitely couldn't go up and face Ruiz directly. The best way was to stare at Seventeen.
Seventeen has not been arrested yet. At present, David's side probably only arrested people from the home improvement company. They are tracing the details of the drug smuggling case from them. Only when it is confirmed can they arrest people.
It is impossible for Shi Qi to escape now. He has not been exposed yet. Although he knows that the smuggling has been discovered, given his identity, it is impossible for him to escape now. Otherwise, he will face not only a national wanted order, but also It's an internal FBI investigation.
Jimmy has never investigated the information on Seventeenth. He was previously judged to be an undercover agent under Ruiz. Jimmy did not dare to search carefully in the system directly. Once someone is interested and finds his inquiry record, it is very likely that he will Seventeen will be exposed, and now he feels a little regretful.
But it's not impossible. Jimmy has Shiqi's phone number on his phone. If you locate his location based on this number, Jimmy can track him normally. Hughes had previously provided phone recordings from the director's office, so he must have special channels to directly contact the NSA, not even excluding senior officials inside.
Jimmy's own permissions cannot investigate the location information of the mobile phone. Although it is a bit excessive to ask Hughes for help, it is also the most convenient way at present.
He hasn't contacted the Counter-Terrorism Bureau for a long time, and it's not convenient for him to go there to investigate now. It's too sensitive.
While driving, Jimmy contacted Hughes on the phone, and Hughes directly invited him to his home to talk, but he only needed to wait outside for a while before he returned.
Hughes was outside. When he saw Jimmy's phone call, he knew there was some trouble. He returned home without wasting time. Looking at the cigarette butts on the ground, he knew that Jimmy had been waiting outside for a while.
Coming to the living room, Hughes brought Jimmy a can of Coke, "Tell me, what can I do?"
Jimmy: "Hughes, you know someone in the NSA, right? There is a phone call that needs to be located."
Hughes: "Who? What's the purpose?"
Jimmy: "A gangster suspected of smuggling drugs."
Hughes: "Why not use the bureau's system? You can ask them to authorize it for you. I think none of them will refuse."
Jimmy shook his head: "It's not convenient to investigate in the bureau. This matter can't be known to others for the time being."
Hughes squinted at Jimmy, "Why?"
Jimmy: "His identity is sensitive."
Hughes just paused and thought for a moment before asking, "What did Ruiz say?"
Jimmy didn't expect Hughes to be so keenly aware of who his target was, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
Hughes watched Jimmy silently pick up the Coke to delay, and he knew the seriousness of the problem. Jimmy didn't say anything, but his meaning was already expressed.
Hughes got up and walked back and forth in the living room several times. Jimmy also followed Hughes and shook his head back and forth. Finally, Hughes stopped and asked, "How sure are you?"
Jimmy: "Not sure, just possible, and the possibility is not very high."
Hughes: "This is a very serious accusation, do you understand?"
Jimmy: "I understand, so I must not let anyone know that I am investigating. You know, among the people in the bureau, I have the best relationship with him. He is my friend."
Hughes: "You were checking on your friend behind his back."
Jimmy: "I need to know what's going on before I can decide how to help him! Some things need to be nipped in the bud."
Hughes started spinning again, but this time he thought faster. After only two circles, he sat back on the sofa: "No, you can't investigate. Many people in the bureau know your relationship, so this won't work. You now Go back to the office and pretend you haven’t been here today, and I’ll come find someone to ask about the situation.”
Jimmy: "One more question. I called Ruiz before coming here and told him that I wanted to talk to him about Seventeen. He must have thought of something and refused my invitation to meet. Now the smuggling case is a big one. Wei was investigating, and he took the previous arson and murder case information from me and handled the case."
Hughes: "That's not a problem, just pretend you don't know anything."
Jimmy: "Okay, I'll go back first."
Hughes sent Jimmy out of the house, turned around, closed the door and made a phone call, changed his clothes and went out.
According to Jimmy's guess, they may be in big trouble this time, but this matter cannot be made public. The reason why Jimmy is not allowed to participate is because he is not high enough and has no access to people who can handle this matter. It is very difficult to transfer the investigation content back and forth. The secret may be leaked, which will cause more trouble.
Although Hughes is retired, he has been working as a field supervisor in the Manhattan office for many years. He has enough contacts to complete the investigation, and at the same time, he can ensure that the person he finds is safe and reliable enough, which Jimmy cannot do at all.
Jimmy's plan today was originally to help Nia investigate the case. He checked the information and went out in the morning. However, because David was injured, he thought of Seventeen and Ruiz, and then asked Hughes to help locate the phone. Time was wasted. .
After checking the time, Jimmy returned to the office after having lunch outside, and suddenly received a call from Kevin: "Jimmy, Nia was shot and is at Presbyterian Hospital."
Jimmy was shocked: "How is she now? What happened?"
Kevin: "I'm on my way to the hospital. No further news yet."
Jimmy: "I'll be right there."
Jimmy hung up the phone and immediately went downstairs with his clothes. Ruiz and all, let's play together.
Jimmy drove not far from the federal building, turned on his hidden police lights and sirens and rushed to the hospital. With the help of police lights and sirens, his speed increased very quickly, and all the people driving in front of him also drove honestly. The right turn signal or double flash is leaning to the right.
It is indeed illegal to turn on the lights and sirens when not performing a task, but it is indeed much more convenient. As for whether someone will be photographed and complained about, it is casual. The worst is that they will not admit it or find some other reason to get away with it.
Jimmy drove all the way to the parking lot of Presbyterian Hospital, called Kevin as soon as he got out of the car, and soon arrived at their floor. A uniformed policeman accompanied Kevin outside the operating room.
Seeing Jimmy arriving, Kevin stood up and waved, "Here."
Jimmy: "What happened? How did she get shot?"
The uniformed policeman spoke: "This morning, we discovered two young men while patrolling on foot. One of them had his hand in his pocket, and when he took it out, he took out a pistol and dropped it on the ground.
After their colleagues shouted, they picked up their pistols and ran away. During the chase, a shootout broke out. Detective Miller spotted the gunfight while driving by, so he and his colleagues got out of the car to support us. Two gunmen were killed, and Detective Miller was shot once. We rushed her to the hospital for treatment. "
Jimmy: "Where was he shot?"
Uniformed policeman: "Right shoulder, not life-threatening."
Jimmy nodded and sat in the chair with Kevin to wait for the operation to be over. Kevin came over in advance, so he must have known the situation. Since he hasn't said anything now, it means that there should be no inside story about this matter.
Although they knew it was just a shot in a non-life-threatening area like the right shoulder, Kevin and Jimmy were still a little nervous. Kevin had never been shot before, so he had no experience. Although Jimmy had been shot, he had a lot of experience, but Nia was his fiancée, which would inevitably make him nervous. He took out the cigarette case and was about to take out the cigarette. Only then did I realize this was a hospital.
Kevin glanced at the cigarette case in Jimmy's hand and slapped him directly, leaving the uniformed policeman watching. The two walked out of the hospital building and lit a cigarette in a hidden place nearby. It was not a pick at this time. When it comes to cigarettes and cigars.
Kevin: “I want Nia to switch departments.”
Jimmy nodded: "The detective department is still a bit risky. Is there any good place we can go?"
Kevin: "I'll go back and take a look. There are always people who are retiring. It's not a big deal to give up their position."
Jimmy: "This is really an innocent disaster. Is she going to investigate the case?"
Kevin: "Well, I asked another police detective. They were investigating a missing singer case and were conducting a comprehensive investigation on the singer's friends in New York. This time it was a shootout when they returned to the police station at noon. They actually stopped the car. Went to support the patrol.”
Jimmy: "It's right to provide support, but with so many police officers fighting against two gangsters with guns, someone got shot. Nia, oh, no, you police officers are too lacking in training."
Kevin glanced at Jimmy. This was all he could say, but he was a little rushed. In fact, any other police officer would not be much better than Niya, except those who have retired from the army.
Kevin: "They are just patrolmen, they are definitely different from you."
Jimmy: "Yeah, but Nia's luck is pretty good this time. Fortunately, it was an accident. If there was a sneak attack..."
Jimmy shook his head. The danger of the police profession is still too high. The key is that there are many people in New York, and there are also many gangsters and other criminals. With so many black guns, no one can guarantee their safety.
Kevin smoked a cigarette: "It was probably just an accident. They were just passing by and didn't go specifically to arrest anyone. But I haven't heard that she offended anyone, so there shouldn't be anyone targeting her."
Jimmy: "Maybe I'm too sensitive. I was a little nervous when I heard she was shot. Let's go up."
Kevin and Jimmy put out their cigarette butts and threw them into the trash can. When they arrived outside the operating room, the operating light went out. After a while, the nurse inside pushed Nia out.
Kevin came over: "Doctor, how is she? When will she wake up?"
Doctor: "The operation went very well. I will wake up in about an hour."
After saying that, they pushed Nia to the ward and transferred her to the bed. Kevin and Jimmy did not enter the ward, but took a look outside through the glass window. They had just finished smoking, so it was best not to enter the ward for now.
Kevin was completely relieved now. He looked at Jimmy and said, "Let Nia go home to recuperate. You have to work there, which is not convenient."
Jimmy nodded: "No problem, it's more convenient to be at home. Do you want to make a call first?"
Kevin glanced at the ward: "I'll fight."
Kevin left the ward and took out his cell phone to inform Nia's mother that Nia would stay in the hospital for two days and needed her to take care of her.
Jimmy looked at Nia who was asleep due to general anesthesia inside, and was still a little worried. He still didn't know who shot the two suspects. If it was Nia, it would be a bit troublesome.
Now Jimmy is no longer just here. When he first killed the suspect, he actually did not suffer much mental impact due to the influence of the original owner in his body. After that, he seemed to be killing people like crazy, but in fact he was also influenced by the original owner. , until he underwent an exorcism in Dallas and became somewhat normal.
The next step was already a habitual thought of "Ah, I shot a suspect, I'm used to it." So he basically didn't have this uncomfortable feeling after killing someone.
But Nia is different. In the past few years of her police career, she rarely even fired a gun. If she really killed the suspect this time, she might have to participate in psychological intervention for a long time.
Sorry, there is not enough coding time tonight. Tomorrow's update will also be scheduled in the evening, so that it can be adjusted to the noon update on Saturday.
