North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 348 Who is Targeting Jimmy?

Gordon looked at it for a while, then got up and left the command center, and went back to the conference room, while Jimmy watched their operating system with relish to inquire about relevant information. This kind of situation is not seen in the FBI, and it is rewarding to watch more up.

Especially the one in front of him who inquired about the information had much more complete data than their FBI, and seemed to be connected to the NSA. As the intelligence agency with the most complete information in the United States, the NSA has far more things than the FBI and CIA.

The employee who talked to Noah just now is operating the three computers in front of him, and the three monitors side by side display different content, one is the signal map of the base station, and there is also the mobile phone connection information of the corresponding base station, and the second is the real-time picture of the traffic camera, which can be switched screen, the third one displays the currently existing image information, and recalls historical video records.

It is really embarrassing for these intelligence personnel. They need to screen out the signal source corresponding to the mobile phone number from the massive information for positioning, and they also need to distinguish whether the same person appears in different scenes based on the image. Just thinking about it feels like a pain in the ass.

The staff member screened for a while, and seemed to have some ideas. He took off the single headset on his head and put it on the table, got up and left the seat.After a while, he brought two more people. The three of them removed the keyboard and monitor, and started working together to find information. It seems that the Anti-Terrorist Bureau has enough personnel. T
Jimmy found a little bit of envy again. Although he didn't know the number of people in the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, it seemed that there were really enough staff, especially this one.Of course, it may also be because the scope of tasks they are responsible for is not large, so it seems that there are more people, and the FBI Manhattan office also has a lot of staff, but the scope of the FBI's responsibilities is too wide, and they are divided into different offices and groups. Jimmy and the others usually I saw a lot fewer people.

Jimmy was envious when he suddenly received a call from Hughes. He walked out of the command center and went to a place where no one was around.

Hughes: "Jimmy, where are you? Be right back."

Jimmy: "I'm in the Anti-Terrorist Bureau. I'm here to follow up on the bomb case. What's the matter?"

Hughes: "Okay, stop talking, hand over the case over there to Detective Gordon, and come back quickly."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll go right back to the station."

Jimmy glanced at the command center, turned and went downstairs to the meeting room.

Jimmy: "Agent Gordon, Boss Hughes is calling. I need to return to the bureau as soon as possible. I will leave it to you."

Gordon nodded: "Thank you, Jimmy, you go back first. Goodbye."

Jimmy waved goodbye to the others, turned around and left the meeting room, took the elevator to the underground parking lot, and drove back to the bureau.

Jimmy came outside Hughes' office, before knocking on the door, Hughes had already stood up, "Conference room."

When they came to the conference room, it was strange that Ruiz from the Manhattan office and Garrett Fuller from the OPR department were already sitting in the conference room, and there was a middle-aged man in a suit beside him.

Hughes stood beside the conference table and knocked on the table, "Sit down, let's play." He didn't mean to introduce that person at all, Jimmy sat down and looked at the TV in front of him in a daze.

At the beginning of the screen was a female news anchor, "This station got a special shooting video yesterday, please switch the screen." Then the screen that appeared made Jimmy suddenly gasp.

The picture was taken obliquely from the opposite side of the warehouse to the entrance of the warehouse. The person in the picture first paused and drew two circles to indicate the three people present. One person stood next to a car, and the other two stood opposite this person. Standing at a distance of a few meters.

Others don't know, but Jimmy can tell it at a glance. This is the video of him subduing six people in the warehouse.

The video was edited, and the content of Jimmy talking to the two people was cut out. The two rushed to Jimmy, and Jimmy moved to the side. The two chased Jimmy, from side by side to front and back, more than ten seconds After that, the two were brought down by Jimmy respectively.

The screen paused again. At this time, four people appeared one after another at the warehouse door. After they were marked with circles, the screen continued. One of them fired a gun, and the screen deliberately paused at the position where the muzzle flame flashed.

Since there is only the screen and no sound, it is temporarily impossible to see from the screen how many shots were fired.

Then Jimmy rolled to the back of the car on the spot, dodged a few shots, and quickly shot and wounded 4 people. In just a dozen seconds, the 4 people who came out of the warehouse were all put to the ground, and then he raised his gun to aim For the two people who were brought down, the screen paused. Since the distance was still a bit far away, they could barely see the human figure, but could not see the face.

This is the first time that Jimmy has seen the actual battle situation yesterday. It seems that his estimate was a bit conservative. From the conflict to the control of the audience, it took less than a minute, and the time he estimated was about 1 minutes from start to finish.

At the end of the screen, the host continued: "At present we have no information about the shooting incident, and the police have not provided any clues. Seeing this shooting scene, we have to ask: "Who is this guy? ".Who can kill four adults so quickly? And they're in a shootout with guns. We'll follow the news, next..."

The picture on the TV automatically paused. This is just a news video, and the FBI only intercepted this part.

Hughes: "Jimmy, explain."

Jimmy: "Wait a minute, I have some reports on this shootout that haven't been filed because of the bombing."

Hughes: "I'll talk about the report later, but let me tell you about the situation first."

Jimmy paused and looked at Ruiz. Ruiz shook his head very slightly and was almost ignored.

Jimmy: "Here's what happened. We caught the man who murdered the reporter Aish a few days ago. His name is Abdul, a Middle Easterner. He was a member of the Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda. He was arranged to enter New York under a false identity and has been in the That warehouse lives.

Based on the video of the parking lot, we screened out the vehicle that might murder reporter Ai Shi, and finally determined the location of his car through the traffic surveillance video. Chris and I arrived at the scene to check, and he suddenly drove away when Chris asked. He dropped it and was caught by us later.

We removed a bomb from under his car, and then the headquarters sent a team led by Agent Gordon to take charge of the bomb case, and interrogated and learned the location of Abdul's warehouse, which is the warehouse on the left in the video.

Scott and the forensic staff checked the evidence in Abdul's warehouse, while I was outside to prevent accidents.Afterwards, the six people in the video came in three cars. They parked and entered the warehouse in the video. I found out that the tattoos on two of them belonged to the T14 gang, so I contacted Ruiz.

Then I went to chat with them, intending to see if they had any clues to provide about Abdul's warehouse next door, and then what happened in the video.

I want to make a statement that the first two people who were brought down were not shot or shot, they were just knocked down. The four people behind were also shot in the torso and were not killed. The news said that the four were shot Killing is purely malicious to induce the audience. "

Ruiz said: "Yes, I can testify. The situation after the video is that I arrived at the scene, NYPD and ambulance were already in place, and all four people were taken to the hospital for treatment. No one has died so far."

Hughes: "Why are you talking to them? I want to be honest, don't use these words to fool us."

Jimmy raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers: "Three reasons, first, Abdul's warehouse is next to their warehouse, and has been rented for several months, and he usually lives in the warehouse, T14 warehouse is next door to him , there may be relevant clues.

Second, the T14 drug smuggling case is a case that Ruiz has been following up for several months. We raided their warehouse at the dock before. They were notified by the ghost in advance, and all the goods were shipped away. The warehouse was empty. of.I was also involved in this case, and this time I discovered their warehouse, so I communicated with Ruiz.

Third, it will take a while for Ruiz to get the news. I just wanted to delay their progress as much as possible to prevent them from leaving prematurely, so that when Ruiz arrives, he can observe whether this warehouse is the drug warehouse we are looking for. .In fact, a lot of goods were found in it in the end, which can be explained by Ruiz. "

Jimmy has already thought about this in advance. If an inquiry meeting is held, his answer will be like this. Basically, it can be settled. Although the reason is not particularly good, but things happened too fast, so he can only try to protect himself.

That's when OPR's Fuller spoke: "What's the situation with the bomb?"

Jimmy glanced at Fuller, then at Hughes, "Can you say that?"

Hughes didn't speak, and shook his head after a pause for a few seconds. He looked at Fuller: "The bomb case is currently being handled by the special task force at the headquarters. The matter is likely to be very serious. Now we have contacted the NSA and the Anti-Terrorism Bureau to cooperate with the investigation, so This case is still in the confidential stage and cannot be announced to the public, it is only known within the scope of the case handling team."

Fuller opened his eyes wide, looked at Hughes first, and then turned to look at Jimmy. He had no idea that this young detective who had just become a regular had grown to such an extent that he could participate in such a highly confidential case.

Fuller turned to look at Hughes: "I don't need details, I just need a reason that can be presented, since it has been on the news, we must have a response, I think Patrick should think the same way. "He pointed at the last middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man nodded, and continued: "Ruiz said just now that NYPD has been involved in the follow-up processing. Although the case is ours, their people must know something. After all, it is impossible to completely ignore this matter." To communicate outside, we may need to hold a press conference before the incident ferments."

Hughes looked at Jimmy: "This is Patrick Burlage from the Department of Public Affairs, who is also the spokesperson of our office. Patrick, you just said that things are fermenting?"

Patrick nodded: "After the video was broadcast, there has been a certain amount of public opinion. Regarding the killing of 4 people during the day in the video, many people find it incredible and worry about the safety of the community. And because of the video clarity, Jimmy appears to be a white man, and those few people are Hispanic or black, and we have communicated internally that there is a possibility that someone will use this video to cause some commotion."

Ruiz: "Have you contacted the TV station? Where did they get the video? I found the warehouse company at the time, and there is no surveillance inside their warehouse area, only at the entrance and exit."

Patrick nodded again: "I have already asked, and they refused to provide the source of information. We cannot force them to provide it without sufficient reason."

Ruiz looked at Hughes: "I suspect that this surveillance video was made by people from T14. Looking at the video, their own warehouse is in the middle of the video, and the coverage is completely centered on this warehouse. Then they provide If the video is sent to the TV station, it may be aimed at us, because their people were arrested by us."

Hughes asked Patrick: "Has your department evaluated the possible problems this video may cause?"

Patrick: "I can't evaluate it for the time being. I don't have the original video. I don't know if the video in their hands can clearly see the face. There is even a more troublesome one now, because the current public opinion is that white people killed 4 people of color. One way, if Jimmy's situation is released, it may trigger protests against certain groups of people."

Hughes is also thinking about the problem Patrick said. In fact, if this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, it may cause even greater problems.Listening to their conversation, Jimmy felt a toothache. This shit didn't kill anyone, so why did it cause so many problems?
While Hughes was thinking, Patrick's phone rang. After answering the phone, he immediately picked up the remote control to turn on the TV and switch to the news station.

It's still the same host, but with a different set of clothes. Of course, the news on TV is broadcast in real time now, while the previous one was recorded.

"Thanks to the anonymous source for the video, so let's take a look at the video below."

In a hall, a person turned his back to the surveillance camera, and not far in front were two people, guarding a closed doorway, followed by the person with his back to the camera, shot and killed the two, then turned around and shot another person from the other side. Three people came out of a room, and then he looked around, rushed to the closed door, kicked the door open and shot inside, then hid behind the wall, moved a little and shot into the room again, and then kept holding The gun was pointed at the room.The video ends here.

"I don't know how everyone feels. I just feel very nervous and very scared. Although I have broadcast many cases, including various shooting cases, there is no video or result of any case that can make me feel this nervous. Worrying feeling.

This person, we still don't know who this person is, what identity, nothing.But it is undeniable that if I was at the scene, then I would feel that I have no sense of security at all. Looking at this man and his movements, it seems that what is in front of him is not a man, but a target on the shooting range or an animal on the farm. Similarly, without the slightest hesitation, 5 people were killed cleanly. As for the situation in the room, we still don't know yet.

I can't help asking: "What's wrong with our world? Why are there such cold-blooded killers? Why haven't such people been caught yet?" Oh, sorry, I'm a little excited, five people, real people, although don't know Their identities, but they are all adults, all have family members, and they were all killed by one person in such a short 1 minute, I can't imagine how sad their family members are..."

Patrick muted the TV, and everyone turned to Jimmy.

The surveillance video is still very blurry, and the gunman in the middle cannot be seen clearly, but the case was very sensational internally at that time, and Ruiz was still involved, but he was unlucky and was shot in the room.

Jimmy swallowed, "Haven't we closed this case? Also, why was this video taken outside?"

Jimmy suddenly came to his senses, yes, why did the TV station get such a video?

Hughes immediately took out the phone and dialed out. "Ryan, did you read the news just now?"

"You handled Jimmy's case back then, and the video in the bar was broadcast on the TV station, investigate it immediately, and come to Manhattan as soon as possible."

After speaking, Hughes hung up the phone.

Ryan was responsible for the aftermath of the case in this video. He was the one who sent it to Hughes and the others to explain it, and participated in Jimmy's inquiry meeting.At that time, the bureau attached great importance to this case, and the level of the inquiry meeting was very high. After all, 7 people were involved in the death, and 3 detectives were kidnapped, and Ruiz was shot.

Now that the video has been circulated, it is likely that there is a problem with the Queens Field Office. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is a problem elsewhere. This video has been uploaded as evidence, and many people can see it.

The question is, how could both videos be played on the same TV station in such a short period of time?These two videos were sent to the TV station together?Or was it sent after the previous video?

Also, what is their purpose?Who is targeting Jimmy?Or who is targeting the FBI?

Hughes and the others thought about this problem, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly turned cold, everyone's faces became very ugly, Jimmy also frowned and looked at everyone, now this matter can't be solved by holding a press conference up.
