North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 344
Now that the headquarters has decided to take over the case, Chris and Jimmy feel a little relieved. For cases that have not been handled before, apart from feeling a little excited when they first came into contact with them, they are actually walking cautiously and walking on thin ice.

Especially now that they found out that the car they were chasing had a bomb. This accident will kill them. Jimmy was not so calm when he was waiting for the bomb disposal team in the parking lot. He was really scared at that moment. When the bomb is detonated on the street, the impact will be bad. Maybe Jimmy and Chris will be held accountable.

The personnel from the DC headquarters arrived very quickly. I thought they would come by flight, but when Chris and Jimmy were notified, the headquarters had already arranged for a helicopter to send them over. The distance of more than 300 kilometers, less than 2 hours, had already stopped at He landed on the helipad on the roof of the Federation Square building.

Chris and Jimmy came to the roof, shook hands with several agents from the headquarters, and invited them to the conference room.

Chris: "Thank you for coming to support, this is Chris from Homicide Squad, and this is Jimmy."

"Gordon Glick, this is Scott, Harry, and Joey." The leader introduced the members of his team, and the two sides sat down.

Chris: "Jimmy, go and get the files and evidence." Jimmy nodded and left the conference room.

Chris said to Gordon: "Sorry, there is no suitable office for the time being, so I can only trouble you in the conference room."

Gordon: "It doesn't matter, how long has this case been? I didn't get the specific situation before I came here. I only know that it is a case of suspected bomb attack."

Chris: "Let's look at the information later. The specific case handling is handled by Jimmy. As you can see, I am temporarily unable to move."

Gordon nodded, Chris got up and brought them mineral water from the cabinet next to him, and Jimmy brought a few trainee agents to the meeting room with all the information collected so far.

Chris signaled Jimmy to speak, and Jimmy didn't refuse, and told the whole process from the beginning of the case to the driver who was caught chasing the car today.Finally said: "Sorry, because we haven't notified in advance, we haven't made a few copies of the file, and you may need to share one for the time being."

Gordon waved his hand, and his eyes never left the contents of the dossier.

Jimmy continued: "The driver is still in the interrogation room. Since he was caught, he hasn't said a word, and he hasn't asked a lawyer. There hasn't been an interrogation yet."

Gordon nodded, and handed the file to his subordinate Scott, "Scott, take a look at the file, and then go to the interrogation with Harry. Joey, you go to the police parking lot again, the station wagon Check again."

After arranging the tasks under his command, Gordon looked at Chris: "Chris, I need someone to go with Joey, he doesn't know the way."

Chris turned to look at Jimmy: "Jimmy?"

Jimmy nodded, "OK, Joey, come with me."

Jimmy drove Joey to the police parking lot. Joey looked more than 30 years old, white, with short hair, very lean, a little longer than the pot head, and basically didn't say anything during the drive.Jimmy is not the kind of person who talks too much, so the two basically walked to the police parking lot in silence.

Jimmy took Joey to the side of the station wagon. He gave Joey the preliminary report given by the forensic department before, which contained the investigation photos that were developed in a hurry.In fact, it is mainly a photo of the explosives on the bottom of the car, because the bomb disposal team has already dismantled the bomb, and now the bottom of the car can no longer be seen as it was before.

Joey took the report and photos and walked around the car twice while looking at them. Then, regardless of the dust on the ground, he lay down on the ground, climbed under the car, turned around and lay down to check.

This is really professional and dedicated, let Jimmy do this, he will feel bad about his suit.

"Jimmy, come and take a look." Joey called out from under the car. Jimmy shrugged helplessly, took off his suit and put it on the roof of the car, and then got under the car.

"Look here, it's not the same as the photo. Did you remove a fixed iron bar when the bomb was dismantled?" Joey pointed to the bottom of the car, because the car was driven on the road, and there was a very thin strip on the bottom plate , the color is different from the surroundings, compare the photos, there is nothing here.

"No, the bomb disposal team is very reliable. It's impossible for them to remove a fixing strip without telling us. There should be something here, and it disappeared after the car was pulled over." Jimmy said with certainty.

"Look at the hole here, it's newly drilled, not the original one, so there should be something drawn from the bomb detonator you removed. Let's take a look inside the car." Joey looked around. At a glance, determine the location of the hole, get out from the bottom of the car, open the door and push the rear seat forward.

"There are 4 holes in the back seat. If it's just to lead out the fuse, there is no need for so many. There must be something to be installed here." Joey looked at the space under the back seat and said with certainty.

Continue to check the situation inside the car, including the situation in the front engine compartment. Finally, Joey took off his gloves and patted the dust on his body. "Let's go, let's go back."

Jimmy also cleaned up, and the two drove back to the FBI office.

It was still the same meeting room, which had been rearranged now, with three whiteboards side by side, covered with clues that had been found so far.

Gordon saw Joey and Jimmy coming in and asked, "How about the on-site investigation?"

Joey nodded: "Their judgment is correct. The car was indeed transformed into a giant bomb, but the bomb body has not been installed in the car. The current explosives seem to be a backup plan. They are ready to clean up the bomb when necessary." car."

Joey opened the report given by Jimmy, and stuck a few photos inside on the whiteboard with magnets.

"This location is a little doubtful now. I just confirmed that the bomb disposal team didn't drop anything, so there should be something extra in this place, but it was removed in advance. I suspect it may be the location of the remote control device, or there is still Other equipment needs to be used together." Joey pointed to the location of the trace he just discovered.

Gordon looked at it, "Leave him alone, just determine the location of the bomb."

Gordon continued to look at the clues on the whiteboard, "Isn't it Jimmy, help me to ask, has the content of reporter Ai Shi's mobile phone been screened?"

Jimmy nodded, and left the meeting room to go to his office, where there are still 6 unlucky people who are screening the more than 100 phone numbers.

"How are you? Have you got any results?"

One of the agents looked up at Jimmy: "Not yet, it will probably take a few hours."

Jimmy nodded, now the only clue in his hand was the driver besides Ai Shi's mobile phone, he returned to the conference room: "Agent Gordon, it is estimated that it will take a few hours to finish the screening, and the last month's call The records have also been extracted from the NSA, and once we confirm the identity of those numbers, we can follow up individually."

Gordon nodded, looked away from the whiteboard, and looked at Jimmy: "Did you investigate this case earlier?"

Jimmy: "Yes, this was just an accident. I went to his house to investigate because I found a dent in the back of Aish's car. By the way, there is still a surveillance team monitoring Aish's girlfriend, Ginny, for the time being. What information did you receive?"

Gordon frowned: "Why monitor Ginny?"

Jimmy: "I found that there was something wrong with the notepad left by Ash, so I arranged for a monitoring team to watch Ginny. If someone investigates Ash behind the scenes, his apartment will become a clear target."

Gordon: "Well, I see. For now."

Jimmy said goodbye to Gordon and went back to his office.Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Chris since I came back from the police parking lot, and I don’t know what he’s doing. Now I’m not in charge of the case, and I don’t know what to do next. It all depends on Gordon.

Jimmy sat in the office for a while. Several trainee detectives were busy looking up information, and he was also idle. He got up and went to the interrogation room. See what's inside.

Jimmy looked in through the glass, two headquarters agents were questioning, and the driver seemed somewhat abnormal, looking tired.Jimmy looked at his watch. It has only been more than 2 hours since he took Joey to check the station wagon. Did the two agents use any means?

When Jimmy was training at Quantico before, their instructors mainly focused on strategic training for interrogation, mainly for interrogation in the direction of psychology. It is a pity that Jimmy is not so lucky, because since he came to Manhattan, none of the people who took him was a master interrogator.

It's a pity, if you can watch from the sidelines, you may learn a lot of tricks.In fact, I heard that the interrogation method at the CIA is the best. If there is a chance, it would be great to get some teaching materials.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen Tom for a long time. When he left before, he said that he would wait for news from him, but he hasn't heard from him for so long, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

There seems to be no follow-up to the interrogation, only the transcripts are left, which is boring. Jimmy left directly and went back to rest.

The next day, Jimmy came to the office. The six trainee agents had checked their mobile phone numbers. They were not in the office now, and neither was Chris. Jimmy looked around and came to the conference room.Yesterday, Jimmy didn't know how Chris arranged for Gordon and the others. Although he didn't know where they lived, they came really early. When Jimmy came, the four of them were all ready, and they were writing something on the conference table.

Jimmy knocked on the door and entered the meeting room, "Agent Gordon, do you have any results? What do you need me to do?"

Gordon: "You came just in time, Jimmy. You will need to take them to check the driver's residence later."

Jimmy: "Did the driver confess? No problem, did you apply for a search warrant?"

Gordon shook his head: "No need, I have already contacted the Ministry of Justice, this is a potential bomb attack, everything is based on the premise of solving the case."

Jimmy: "Okay, I understand. You can set a time and we can go."

Gordon looked at his watch: "Half an hour, Scott, you rest for half an hour and get ready to go."

The three detectives put down their work and began to rest directly against the chairs.Jimmy looked at their status, good guy, they didn't sleep last night, right?
Jimmy turned around and left the meeting room. Since he was going to investigate the driver's residence, he had to bring someone from the forensics department with him, lest the evidence obtained at the time would be invalid due to inconsistent procedures.

Fortunately, Hughes should have explained that the forensics department did not have any objections because Jimmy was a novice detective, and readily arranged 2 teams of 4 people to accompany Jimmy and the others to set off together.

Everything was ready, Jimmy checked his watch to make sure it was half an hour before he walked into the meeting room, Scott, Harry, and Joey were woken up by Gordon, went to the bathroom to wake up, and set off with Jimmy , Heading to the seaside in the southeast corner of Brooklyn, there is a warehouse area, and the driver just rented a warehouse here with a false identity.

On the way here, Jimmy got the driver’s identity from Scott. The driver’s name was Abdul, who was from the Middle East and had studied in France. After the United States started the war in Afghanistan, he responded to the call and joined a special organization. , "Al Qaeda," as a member of the organization, he was arranged to help someone start a branch in Iraq.

He was not the planner of this operation, but one of the executors. Because of his experience studying abroad, Abdul successfully came to New York with a false identity. In the next six months, several executors used various methods to When he arrived in New York, since he was not the organizer himself, he didn't know about other people's affairs, and he just carried out the task according to the notice.

This time he was caught instead of committing suicide because of his experience studying abroad. Although Abdul responded to the call to join the organization, his mind was obviously not as crazy as the members of the traditional organization. He did not take the initiative according to the requirements of the organization. Dedicated himself, facing the guns of the police and FBI, he was persuaded.

This warehouse is where Abdul hides. Because it needs to be hidden, he usually lives here except for wandering outside and occasionally staying in hotels. The car is also a tool cart arranged by his superiors. Clear the bomb installed under the car.

Another point is that Jimmy guessed wrong. Before Chris told him that the driver did not say a word at all and did not apply to notify the lawyer. Jimmy thought the driver was a special ruthless person. In fact, the reason is very simple. Abdul used a fake identity Come on, as long as he reveals his true identity, he will die. In this case, it is useless to seek a lawyer, and he is ready to resist.

However, the detectives from the headquarters directly let him break through. After being tortured for a while, he had no choice but to explain everything. Among other things, at least for now, Abdul is estimated to be in prison even if he is not dead. The bottom is worn.
