North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 346 The Lost Clue

Ruiz waited until support arrived, along with a few forensic officers helping investigate the warehouse.Jimmy and his side are almost over. The three of Scott and the others have come out, and the 4 people from the forensics department behind are sorting out and packing the evidence, and they can flash people later.

Jimmy came to the T14 warehouse, and Ruiz's laughter had already come from the warehouse.

Jimmy: "Ruiz, why are you so happy?"

Ruiz: "Hahaha, Jimmy, you are really my lucky star. This is a warehouse that we have not mastered. We have found a few packages of goods. They will not be able to escape this time. That kid with Scar , I will definitely let him bleed profusely this time."

Jimmy also laughed. In fact, he saw the gangsters rummaging through various boxes and guessing whether they took out something and put it on the ground. They must have used these normal goods to hide the medicine inside. Now Of course it would be best if he could be sure, so that it wouldn't be a procedural error if he stepped forward to ask.

Jimmy: "Okay, then you guys continue to search, the matter on my side is almost over, let's go back to the bureau first."

Ruiz: "Well, thank you Jimmy, thank you for your hard work."

Jimmy waved his hand, turned around and left the warehouse, Scott and the others stood beside the car, a group of eight people and three cars returned to the Federation Square office.

On the way back, Jimmy always felt that the atmosphere was not right. He secretly glanced at the rearview mirror. Joey and Harry in the back row were staring at him. He turned his head and glanced at Scott, the co-pilot. He turned to look at Jimmy, then at the traffic ahead.

Jimmy couldn't stand the atmosphere: "Hey guys, what's the problem? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Scott turned to look at Jimmy directly: "Jimmy, how did you do it?"

Jimmy: "What?"

Scott: "Six guys, four shooters, how do you take them out?"

Jimmy nodded speechlessly: "It's nothing difficult, there are only two people in front, and the four people in the back came out of the warehouse later, and there was a time difference."

Scott shook his head frantically: "No, no, I mean the process, how did you handle it?"

Jimmy thought for a while. Anyway, he was going to write a report, so it didn't matter if he told them: "It's very simple. I was smoking outside, and they drove over in three cars. Gang members, when one of them came out of the warehouse, I went over and asked a few simple questions."

Scott: "And then?"

Jimmy: "At first there was only one guy, and then he went in and called another guy out, and they both wanted to take me down, and I fought back, and after I knocked down two people, the guy inside came out and shot, and I knocked it down Four people. The two people in the front were also shocked, and they surrendered themselves. That's it, very simple."

Scott opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end, "Okay, I understand."

Jimmy turned his head to see that Scott was sitting upright. He probably didn't have anything to say. The atmosphere in the car finally recovered a bit. The weird quietness and back chill just now were really uncomfortable.

Back in the office, Jimmy and Scott went to the conference room.

Scott: "Gordon, we searched Abdul's warehouse, there is not much contraband in it, just a few pistols and some bullets, no medicine, no explosives, no controllers, very clean."

Gordon: "Where is his contact information with his superiors?"

Scott: "Two laptops were found at the scene, and they have been handed over to the technicians to crack them. The result will be expected later. In addition, there is a voice recorder in the trash can, but it has been smashed and the chip has been damaged. It is estimated that it is completely damaged. There is no way to read the recordings inside.

According to the clues provided by Jimmy before, Ai Shi would bring his own notebook and voice recorder when he went out, and it is estimated that one of them should basically be his.But we did not find anything related to the notepad. If it wasn't that Aishi didn't take it with him at all, it was that Abdul destroyed it after getting it. "

Gordon shook his head: "Time is tight, if it doesn't work, just ask Abdul to unlock his computer, and if it doesn't work, it will be enforced."

Scott: "OK, give the technician a little time."

Gordon: "Half an hour, if there is no result, take it back and let Abdul do it."

Scott and the others sat back at the conference table and continued to look through the materials. Jimmy saw that he had nothing to do, so he turned and left the conference room and went back to make a report.

After Jimmy left, Scott still couldn't hold back, and told Gordon what happened at that time. The point is, they ran out of the warehouse from hearing the gunshots, drawing their guns, to seeing Jimmy controlling the whole world. The scene lasted only ten seconds. They just stopped at the warehouse door to observe the situation outside.Although I haven't fully guessed the battle scene outside, but within ten seconds, all four gunmen were shot, and Jimmy was able to move the guns to the two fallen people. This speed, this efficiency, this confidence, if they were not the parties involved , watching the final result, there is no way to believe it.

Gordon was also shocked. He shook his head, "This matter has nothing to do with us. Focus on the bomb case and don't be disturbed by other things."

Scott and the others glanced at each other, nodded, and continued to check the materials and listen to the recordings. The 6 trainee detectives have checked all the people with the corresponding mobile numbers. Except for some people with corresponding names, there are more than a dozen anonymous calls. The names corresponding to the remarks have also been investigated, but it is basically useless. Can't find any information about the name at all.

The recordings they are listening to now are the call records of reporter Ai Shi nearly a month before the death of the NSA. According to the order of the number matching, they need to listen to it from front to back, and analyze which ones are related to the case and which ones are irrelevant.

This is not an easy job, but there is no way to hand it over to those trainee detectives, so the three of them have to work hard.

Gordon stared blankly at the whiteboard in front of him, and now there are four whiteboards, namely Abdul, the interpersonal network of reporter Ai Shi, and the information and evidence of Ai Shi's death scene, and Abdul Ai Shi. Evidence photos related to the car driven.

The biggest problem now is that there is no direct clue that allows them to lock down the suspects, not even a list of suspects.Abdul is just an executor. Except for his superiors, he has never contacted anyone else. Although he has been in New York for a long time, other people he knows on a daily basis are not worth arresting.

Because the assigned tasks have been completed, 4 trainee agents and 2 trainee intelligence officers have evacuated Jimmy's office and returned to their original group. Now Jimmy is the only one left in the office. I saw him when I came, and then disappeared, and Jimmy didn't know where he went.

Today's report is very difficult to write, because this time it can be said that he took the initiative to find fault.Under normal circumstances, the case of the gang members is on Ruiz's side. Jimmy only knows the details of T14 because he worked with Ruiz. It is unreasonable for him to directly intervene in Ruiz's case. In the report, it is even more difficult to deal with.

When I was smoking before, I thought that the reason for the report was to ask them about the rental time of the warehouse, and then to see if they had any impression of Abdul. , and was ready to fight when there was only one person, so Jimmy fought back.

I can only use this reason. Although it is still a dog and a mouse, it is more or less acceptable. As long as Ruiz and Hughes help to say something nice, theoretically, it should be possible to get through.

Jimmy couldn't report this report directly, something would happen. After he wrote it, he took the report directly to Ruiz. Well, he hasn't come back yet. It seems that the warehouse took a long time to clean up.

Can only wait for later, Jimmy returned with the report and threw it on the table.

Gordon finally had something to gain. In the recording that Joey listened to, there was a passage in which the reporter Ai Shi contacted a person for a meeting. The time of the meeting was a week before Ai Shi’s death. Very clear clues too.There is a place to meet in the phone recording, and this person is using an anonymous phone, so the identity cannot be confirmed, but with this mobile phone number, you can investigate the location of the mobile phone.

Gordon called Jimmy directly to investigate the meeting between Ash and that person in New York, it would be more convenient to have a local agent.

Jimmy came to the meeting room after receiving Gordon's call. Joey told Jimmy the content of the call again. After knowing the location, Jimmy took Joey and set off.As for the cell phone number, I will leave it to Gordon and the others to investigate and see where the cell phone number was last seen. If the unregistered cell phone is still in use, they can even directly use triangulation to determine his approximate location.

A cafe in Brooklyn, um, this is a relatively large cafe that also sells light meals. Jimmy and Joey parked the car outside the cafe, looked around, and walked into the coffee shop.

Jimmy: "FBI, is your manager there?"

The waiter looked at the two of Jimmy, nodded, and walked into the direction of the back kitchen. After a while, a fat old man came out of it.

"Hi, I'm Mike, the boss here. What's the matter for the two detectives?" The old man reached out to shake hands with Jimmy and Joey, and then led them to sit down at the next table.

"FBI Special Agent Jimmy, this is Special Agent Joey, may I ask if there is surveillance in your store?" Jimmy took out his ID and showed it, introduced the identities of the two, and asked the boss Mike about the surveillance.Because it has been almost two weeks, it is impossible for the waiter to remember so clearly.

Mike nodded, and Jimmy took out the photo of reporter Ash, "We need to check the video from a week ago, the situation of this person coming to the store."

Mike asked, "Can I ask what it is?"

Jimmy: "He's involved in one of our cases, and we need to see who he was meeting here at the time."

Mike got up: "Come with me."

In the manager's office, there are two monitors on the wall opposite the boss's desk, corresponding to the left and right surveillance cameras in the store.

The boss, Mike, pulled out a cardboard box from the cabinet next to it and put it on the table, and began to search inside. Finally, he found the video of the day Jimmy wanted and inserted it into the player next to him. Jimmy began to control the fast forward of the video until the reporter Ash appeared on the screen.

After Ai Shi entered the coffee shop, he glanced left and right, and then walked to a table in the left corner of the coffee shop. There was already a person sitting there. Ai Shi ordered a cup of coffee, and the two began to chat. Not record information.

Because of the monitoring angle, the person's appearance was almost invisible, only the hairstyle and general face shape could be seen, which was also related to the clarity of the video tape.

13 minutes, the length of time Ai Shi chatted with that man, and then the person opposite Ai Shi got up and left the cafe, Ai Shi was still sitting at the table, and after waiting for 5 minutes, Ai Shi left.

Jimmy paused the videotape and said to the boss Mike: "Mike, can you transcribe the videotape here? If not, we may need to take this tape away. Of course, the original version will be returned to you after transcription."

Mike waved his hand, "Take it away, just remember to return it. Although I don't know what the case is, but since your FBI is dispatched, it must be a big deal."

Jimmy didn't expect Mike to be so reasonable. He knows how difficult New Yorkers are. After all, he has been in New York for so long and has handled many cases. Few of them are successfully settled, and some people even ask for help. They paid for it.

Jimmy shook hands with Mike and said goodbye: "Thank you, thank you for your cooperation. Goodbye, Mike."

Jimmy picked up the video tape, nodded to Joey, and the two left the cafe, "Joy, do you remember when that person left just now?"

Joey: "I remember."

Jimmy: "I think we still need to find the corresponding video in these surrounding stores to see the direction and location of the person's departure. Do you want to come together? Or do you go back with the video first?"

Joey thought for a while: "Let's investigate directly. The man walked to the right after going out, so let's check this way."

Jimmy: "Well, let's go ahead and see if we can find any clues."

Jimmy and Joey also walked to the right at the entrance of the cafe. After inquiring about the two stores, they found that the man had entered the parking lot next to him, and there was no video to check after that.And although the parking lot is monitored, it has been broken for a while, and it has not been repaired at all, and there are no clues.

Sometimes I have to say that luck is really hard to define. If you say they are lucky, they will disappear if they track down the clues. If they are unlucky, the video of the cafe was also successfully obtained, and there is no disturbance at all. .

The two had no choice but to get in the car and rush back to the office directly. Although they didn't know who that person was or how he left, at least they had his phone number to investigate, maybe they could find out his location.

Back in the office, Jimmy brought the video to Gordon. In any case, they were ultimately responsible. Jimmy could help with the details, and Gordon made the key decisions.

Jimmy was sitting in the conference room, and Gordon was playing the video. After watching the surveillance video, Jimmy also told him and Joey about the follow-up investigation of the video, and then looked at Gordon's plan.

Gordon paused the video and put his hands on the table, "We may need more power to investigate. According to the current clues, the person who met reporter Ai Shi may be a member of the team, although we don't know what it is The reason made him choose to make this plan public, but at least from the current point of view, it can indeed be considered that this bomb attack is sufficiently possible."

Scott: "Gordon, are you sure? In this case, things may be completely out of our control."

Gordon: "This is not a question of who is in control. We need more information and must cooperate with other agencies. Well, it has been decided. I will contact the DC headquarters first to see their opinions."
