North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 336 The Kidnapping Case

Jimmy waited for Ryan to finish dealing with urgent matters, and took the two captured people into the interrogation room before saying goodbye to Ryan and leaving.

Jimmy didn't rush to the police station to see Chuck's investigation results, but returned to the Manhattan office first and came to Hughes' office.

Jimmy: "Hughes, the matter at the Queens Field Office has been dealt with, and they are dealing with the follow-up."

Hughes: "Nice job, Jimmy."

Jimmy: "If there is nothing else, I will go to the NYPD first. There is something new about the case you arranged before."

Hughes: "OK, please let me know if you have any results. Go ahead."

Jimmy went back to his office and called Chuck. The monitoring and identification was still going on. The clarity of the monitoring is really a problem now. Fortunately, the building where Diego’s studio is located is also very concerned. They arranged a few people to cooperate, and the identification speed is still Guaranteed.

Now Jimmy is most concerned about this case. Speaking of the previous cases, they are not so interesting.Drug dealers, plastic surgery, and clean cases, leaving no traces, starting from the clues, and finally catching him is the best.In fact, until now, it has not been determined whether the shooter is a man or a woman, and whether the person with the guitar case is the shooter has not been determined. In short, it is shrouded in fog, which is very interesting.

Jimmy doesn't have to worry about the Queens office. Although he was the one who shot, Ryan was by his side the whole time. He didn't run away during the shootout. Jimmy doesn't have to worry about the report. Wait until Ryan's report Just sign it and you're done.It is impossible for OPR to find him again this time. The command is on Ryan's side, and Hughes asked him to support it. Everything is easy to say.

It’s been a long time since he had such a comfortable support mission, it reminded him of the days in Little Rock more than a year ago, how happy it was at that time, fishing at the police station when he didn’t have to go out, and he could go to the shooting range to practice guns at any time when he wanted to be active Simultaneously on duty.

While Jimmy was resting, Hughes called Ryan directly.

When they received a call from the Queens office, Ryan and the others were actually just informing them, because they needed to call a support team, and at the same time the detective was shot, so they always had to report to this side. Hughes didn't want to intervene. There are also a lot of members, and the support team can be dispatched at any time, but after hanging up the phone, Hughes suddenly thought of Jimmy.

For him, Jimmy's position is actually very easy to determine. Based on the arrangement of maximizing combat power, Jimmy's position is easy to handle, but he is still young, only 27 years old, and it is time to accumulate experience. If he is only a combatant, In a few years at most, it will almost go downhill. Every year, the FBI screens combatants from the active and retired personnel of the army. In fact, Jimmy like this does not have much advantage.If he is not allowed to get in touch with more cases and accumulate more experience, it will be difficult for him to become the backbone of the Manhattan office after Peter and Ruiz. Among the new generation of young people, there are not many such spiritual people.

After supporting the school shooting last time, Hughes still remembered Chris’ evaluation. Jimmy’s heartfelt smile at that time impressed Chris deeply. Perhaps, in addition to normal cases, he should also be freed from his shackles.That's why Hughes went directly to the office to find Jimmy and called him if he couldn't find it.

Ryan told Hughes about Jimmy's performance on the phone. Ryan was very interested in Jimmy, but it was impossible for Hughes to give him Jimmy.

After understanding the whole process, Hughes also felt that there was nothing wrong with his decision. Apart from handling the case, this kind of hands-on action allowed Jimmy to go up and replace a team of detectives by himself, and the effect was very good.
-
Jimmy rested for a while, then went out and ran directly to the police station. It was too slow to wait for them to find clues. He finally decided to get involved himself. Although he may not be better than other policemen, at least he is not much worse. One more person has more strength.

Jimmy came to the conference room of the police station, good guy, there are four computers and large screens on the conference table, and four groups of people are facing the surveillance to identify the people inside. Surveillance video time is relatively long.

Jimmy came to Nia, "Nia, how is it? Did you get anything?"

Nia asked a police officer to replace her, stood up and confronted Jimmy, "Identified some people that no one had seen before, but the gains were small, and it was too difficult to find."

Jimmy glanced at the screen, they basically screened every person in the screen, um, isn’t it a bit too purposeless, “You look for those with backpacks or briefcases, the files are quite thick, no It is too likely to be carried out in clothes. People who go out without a bag don’t need to see it.”

Nia shook her head: "We have already thought about it, but there is still a loophole. There is no monitoring in the underground garage of the office building, only at the entrance and exit, where the people in the car cannot be seen. If the gunman comes from the underground garage If we leave, there's nothing we can do."

Jimmy nodded: "It can't be helped. We have too few clues now, so we can only find him in this way. By the way, the guitarist hasn't committed crimes recently, right?"

Nia shook her head: "I haven't received it now. I have to ask Detective Chuck about this. I don't have any relevant information."

Jimmy: "Then I'll go find Chuck, you guys go ahead first."

After speaking, Jimmy nodded to Nia, then turned and left the conference room.Now is the time to handle the case, so don't bother them.

Came to Detective Chuck's office, Chuck was looking up something on the computer.

Jimmy: "Hey Chuck, how's it going?"

Chuck turned and looked at Jimmy: "Still waiting for the results. Is your FBI so busy?"

Jimmy shrugged, "I'm just interested in this case. Well, it seems that you are really busy, so I'll go back first."

Chuck: "OK, bye."

Well, he was kicked out like a fly, and Jimmy couldn't help it.

Looking at the time, it was almost time to get off work, so Jimmy left the police station and went back to the apartment.
-
The next day, Jimmy returned to the office, and suddenly found that Chris, who had disappeared for two weeks, suddenly appeared, but he looked a bit miserable, with a splint on his left arm, a bandage on his head, and an OK bandage on his face.He was typing slowly on the keyboard with his intact right hand, as if he was looking up something.

Jimmy: "Chris, what's wrong with you? Why are you hurt so badly?"

Chris stopped and looked up at Jimmy: "It's nothing, there was a traffic accident. How have you been lately?"

Jimmy: "Everything is fine, nothing happened. Go back to rest if you are so seriously injured, and just let me know if there is anything that needs to be done."

Chris nodded: "I'll go back later, it's okay, don't worry."

Jimmy: "Is the matter with Vince settled?"

Chris: "Well, don't worry, it's fine over there."

Chris continued to operate the keyboard with one hand, then clicked with the mouse, and then shut down the computer. He picked up the clothes next to him, said hello to Jimmy, and left.

Jimmy doesn't believe in Chris' nonsense at all, was he injured in a traffic accident like this?This reminded Jimmy of the time when Kag went to find a certain drug dealer and was injured by them. At that time, Kag also told about the traffic accident.Are they completely treating other people as fools? As long as there is a similar reason, it will be an explanation.

Jimmy turned on his computer and began to look at the recent cases that had been registered. It seemed that what they had experienced was definitely not small for Chris to be injured like this. Maybe there would be some records.Now that Chris has come back, it means that the matter has been dealt with. It is not to help, but to see what they have done.

It was a waste of time. Jimmy looked at the list of newly added cases. There was nothing special about it. That’s right, Chris and the others are old detectives, so they must have handled things properly. Thinking about Kag’s style of handling things back then, it’s almost understandable. .

Speaking of which, since the system has been turned on, can I check Nia?Forget it, this is too low-handed, no matter how you think about it, I think it's a bit too much to pick up girls and use the FBI database to check their identity information.

Checking the mail and letters to make sure nothing happened, Jimmy packed up and left the office for the NYPD again.

Jimmy went into the police station and went directly to Nia's place. One thing to say, the girls in uniforms are really saucy, but the police uniforms are really unfriendly to girls. The police uniforms are not designed to be tight, and the good figure is completely covered up. Living.

This time I was lucky. After a day of searching and comparing, Nia and the others had locked down a few suspects and got a screenshot of the video that was not very clear. Jimmy just came here to take it back for image comparison.

Chuck came over: "Jimmy, this case may need to be suspended for a while, we have a new case to deal with urgently. Nia, get ready to go."

Jimmy: "What case?"

Chuck: "Kidnapped, my family called the police just now, we are leaving now."

Jimmy nodded, and returned to the FBI office with the image that Nia and the others found. The kidnapping case is not a major case, and the local police can deal with it enough. The FBI took over directly.

Jimmy called Chris. His authority had been revoked after checking the information before, and the image comparison was not something he could do directly.Chris has gone home to rest, but he will call Hughes for him and apply for permission to open again.

The image comparison is not as fast as in the movie, the criminal database is still quite large, and the comparison is not 100% successful, so after Jimmy scanned a few images, he threw them there and waited for the results.

Hughes called, and Jimmy came to his office again. This time, Hughes was not alone, and there was a blonde woman in the office.

Jimmy: "Hughes, I'm here, what's the matter?"

Hughes: "Jimmy, this is Kimberly Rice, who is responsible for the kidnapping and disappearance case. You temporarily join her team to assist in handling a kidnapping case."

Jimmy shook hands with Rice: "Jimmy, the homicide team, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me."

Kimberly Rice: "Kimberly Rice. Hughes, let's go then."

Hughes nodded, and the two left Hughes' office.

Rice went downstairs with Jimmy, and she took a photo to Jimmy: "Jimmy, this case is a kidnapping case, Sadie McCaroo, a contracted model of ESS agency, French nationality, this time She came to New York to participate in Fashion Week, and she disappeared after the show the day before yesterday, and the brokerage company arranged for her agent to look for her, but they couldn’t find her. They received a call yesterday afternoon, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 500 million.”

Jimmy: "This kind of kidnapping case should be handled by NYPD, right? Why did it come to our side?"

Rice glanced at Jimmy: "Because Sadie McCaroo is not only a model, but also the daughter of the boss of a multinational company. Now we go to ESS Company."

Jimmy drove behind Rice and came to an office building in midtown Manhattan. Rice took Jimmy upstairs. There were already some people in FBI coats installing surveillance equipment in the office.

Rice: "Did the kidnapper call again?"

A monitoring agent shook his head, and Rice walked towards the agent of the brokerage company, who was also the informant this time, Bruno Melton.

Rice: "Melton, have McCaroo's family been in touch?"

Melton: "Already contacted, but his family is in France and will not come to New York until tomorrow."

Rice: "OK, let's sort out the current situation again. When was the last time you saw McCaroo? Has anyone had contact with her?"

Melton looked at Rice: "The night before yesterday, after the show ended, McCaroo changed clothes and left the backstage. He should have gone directly to the car at the back door, but we waited for a long time and couldn't find her. We contacted her." The people inside, they don’t know when McCaroo left, but they can confirm that there is no problem with the show itself. Her last show ended at 9:45pm, and we contacted them at 10:15pm. "

Rice: "Is there surveillance in the backstage of the show?"

Melton: "No, only the main entrance of the building is monitored. We waited at the back entrance. There is nothing there."

Rice nodded and looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, go to the show with Ryan to investigate. Ryan!"

A male detective in his 30s next to him raised his hand, Jimmy nodded and walked towards Ryan. The two came to a building next to Central Park.

Ryan should be the kind of experienced detective. He brought Jimmy to the McCaroo show. After contacting the exhibitor, he conducted a round of inquiries to the backstage staff, and then checked all the way through the backstage access. Come to the main gate.

After that, it was a routine operation. I directly contacted the security personnel of the building. After obtaining the consent of the management personnel, I retrieved the video of the main entrance the night before and began to check it.

Sadie McCullough was eventually spotted on surveillance video, leaving the building with a man, getting into a car at the main entrance and leaving the building.

Ryan immediately called Rice: "Les, the surveillance showed that McCaroo left the building with a man, got into a car and left. Because of the problem with the surveillance angle, only the back of the man was photographed, and there was no frontal image. I Hurry back immediately."

Ryan asked them to copy a surveillance video on the spot, and returned to the ESS agency with Jimmy with the video.
