North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 377 A Powerful Informant

Jimmy returned to the bureau. The informant Seventeen that Ruiz had given him hadn't called Jimmy yet. So far, there should be no results. Don't worry about it. After all, he is an informant, and protecting himself is the most important thing.

The taxi case has been put on hold for the time being, and there is still an explosion case to be dealt with. The laboratory report has been given out, but Jimmy didn't look at it carefully when he came over in the morning.At that time, the mind was full of serial murders, which was not interesting.

After getting the report, the composition of the explosives was confirmed here. The composition of ammonium nitrate explosives accounted for the main proportion, and a small amount of C4 remained. It was consistent with the composition of the explosives that the crew blaster Bill Lawrence said, so there was nothing special about it.

Jimmy contacted the NYPD and went to the detention center to talk to Bill Lawrence. There are channels and certificates for purchasing explosives, but they are all in Los Angeles.

Jimmy returned to the bureau, contacted the FBI office in Los Angeles, and asked them to help verify that all the information matched, and finally decided to close the case by accident. As for how long Bill will be sentenced, that is not Jimmy's business.

Jimmy wrote a closing report and submitted it to Hughes for review. After confirming that there was no problem, he directly contacted the prosecutor's office to submit the report. The rest was for them to go through the process.

The crew has been waiting for a few days, because of the explosion accident, there is no way for the crew to stop working, although everyone is very anxious.After Jimmy closes the case, notify the NYPD, and they will contact the crew.

Jimmy has solved the bombing case in the past two days, and the child kidnapping case on Nia's side has not been solved. It has been a week, and now the hope of finding it is very slim.

Although Jimmy has not handled many kidnapping cases, the FBI has a lot of information. The best rescue time is 48 hours after the kidnapping.

Now Detective Kimberly Rice and Nia are more motivated to pursue the kidnappers. As for the kidnapped children, if they have not been torn apart, it is of course the best result to find them.

Now their tracking location has gone from New York to New Jersey, through New York State, and then to Massachusetts State. They also know that the police and FBI have been chasing them, so they have been running in circles while fleeing north.When talking on the phone last night, Nia and the others were still tracking down the trail of the car. Using the authority of the FBI, they coordinated the Boston FBI office to assist in the investigation and monitoring, but the final location of the kidnapped car has not yet been determined.

Originally, Jimmy wanted to help, but they went further and further away, making it impossible for Jimmy to intervene if he wanted to help.After crossing the state, many things are very troublesome, and multiple departments need to be coordinated. It doesn't make much difference whether Jimmy is on the scene or not.Detective Rice is a senior detective. She is familiar with this kind of coordination process, but Jimmy is far behind in this respect.

All Jimmy can do is call Nia frequently, cheer them up, and offer anything but help.

It has been two days, and there is still no progress in the murder of the homeless man on Chuck's side. The corresponding surveillance and surrounding investigations have been done for two or three rounds, and there has been no way to identify possible suspects. within the scope of judgment.

None of the gunmen who can use a silencer is simple. Most criminals basically use ordinary pistols. There is a black market source of mufflers.The silencer is a controlled firearm accessory, and most people really can't figure it out.

This kind of professional shooter usually has very clear thinking. He must have thought about how to avoid exposing himself in advance, just like the shooter in the taxi driver case. With the photo taken, it is basically impossible for traffic surveillance to see his face.

Jimmy checked the time, it was still early, he got up and left the office, and drove to the Bronx.Ruiz's informant is too calm. Although Jimmy guesses that he may not be an informant but an undercover agent, but his case is indeed too long. I can't wait, so I will go directly to the Bronx and give him a call. Bar.

According to the speed at which he arrived at the coffee shop in half an hour last time, the informant Seventeen probably lives nearby. In order not to delay things, we should go there first and then contact him.Jimmy came outside the coffee shop again, and this time he paid special attention when parking, parked in the parking space on the side of the road, away from that stupid fire hydrant.

Jimmy got out of the car, looked around, and then called Shi Qi, but he pressed it directly and didn't answer it. It seemed that the timing was not very good.

Jimmy waited while smoking a cigarette. A few minutes later, he received a text message from another mobile phone number, "I already have a clue, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Wait for a message and don't contact me."

Well, it was a waste of time, but Shi Qi is really professional, and he even changed his mobile phone to send text messages, probably his own anonymous phone, which also made Jimmy believe in his own judgment more and more. This Seventeen may really be a long-term undercover agent in the bureau.

There is no doubt that Seventeen is very good. With just a photo and map survey provided by Jimmy, he can find some clues, which is more rewarding than Jimmy and Nick.Of course, the main reason is that Jimmy and the others can only use standard case handling methods and follow the rules. In many cases, as long as the inquirer is unwilling to speak, they will get nothing.

Seventeen should have directly used gang members who are more reliable to him to investigate, so that the people covered can usually get the most accurate information. After all, they are all local gangsters, and their network is far away in the local area. It is much better than the FBI randomly asking someone to ask.

Jimmy threw away the cigarette butt and got into the car to go back when his phone rang. Jimmy glanced at it and picked it up.

Jimmy: "What's the matter? Razor." Razor is the little leader of the Latin king that Jimmy had looked for before, and he had dealt with him twice.

Razor: "Do you have time? Let's meet."

Jimmy looked at his watch: "Half an hour, by the lake in Central Park." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

As the leader of the gang, if he took the initiative to call Jimmy, there must be some trouble. Razor helped Jimmy twice before, and he owed him a favor no matter what. It should be.

Although he decided to meet, Jimmy didn't want to give up the initiative. Letting the razor set the time and location is definitely not as good as his own. Moreover, there are many people in Central Park and the environment is complicated, which can also avoid some troubles, such as being ambushed.As long as Jimmy is in position one step earlier and observes the people around him, many dangers can basically be avoided.

Jimmy was wearing sunglasses and sitting on a bench by the lake. He had already observed the surroundings in advance and was basically sure that there was no one who behaved particularly well. He held a newspaper in front of him and read it.In fact, he didn't read the content of the newspaper at all, but continued to observe the people around him through the newspaper.

Razor changed into a suit of clothes, leather shoes, a casual suit, a hat to cover his hair, and a pair of rimless glasses. Just looking at his current image, he doesn't look like a gang leader. No matter how he looks, he looks like an ordinary of office workers.

Jimmy put down the newspaper, looked at Razor, then held up his right hand, and Razor came over after seeing Jimmy, and sat down next to him.

Jimmy continued to hold the newspaper in front of him, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what's the matter with calling me out?"

Razor leaned back in his chair, arms outstretched over the back of the bench seat. "Jimmy, I need help."

Jimmy: "Tell me something."

Razor: "Someone wants to declare war on us, not on me, but on the Latin King. The opponent is a new gang formed ten years ago, Trinidad."

Jimmy frowned and turned to look at the razor: "Are you sick?"

Razor turned to look at Jimmy, then back at the lake.Jimmy continued: "It is up to you to declare war between gangs. I am the FBI, not your thugs. Remember your own identity."

Razor: "I must have a reason to come to you."

Razor reached out and took out a note from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Jimmy, "We got the news, Trinidad's big boss Serra, had contact with some people a while ago. It's just what Serra and the others said, no one would care Yes, it’s just a small gang with not many people, but the people he contacts belong to Azt, a gang on the US-Mexico border, I think you should be able to guess what their main business is.”

Jimmy reached for the note. There were only two names on it, Sierra and Barrio.

Jimmy didn't remember the gangster name of Azt, but the gangsters on the US-Mexico border that Razor said made him have a bad feeling.He put the note in his pocket: "Is there any information about the Azt gang?"

Razor: "They started out as a small gang in California, and later expanded to New Mexico and Texas. Their main business is smuggling and drug trafficking. They have many gunmen and powerful forces. They have made a name for themselves near the border in a short period of time. People from Trinidad contacted them, probably to expand their sales channels. My people can’t get detailed information for the time being, we are just a small gang in New York, and we are not able to get detailed information.”

Jimmy: "Say what you want."

Razor: "Just to say in advance, if..." He paused, leaning on the back of the chair and looking up at the crown of trees above his head, "It's just to leave a way out for myself."

Jimmy turned his head to look at the razor, his expression seemed complicated, and he didn't feel relaxed at all, "Your request."

Razor lowered his arms and sat looking at Jimmy: "If there is an accident, I want to survive."

Jimmy: "I see. Are you sure? Once we intervene, you will completely become a traitor in their eyes, and you may live in their pursuit for the rest of your life."

Razor took a deep breath, and then let it out: "I'm just a small person, I can't think too much about the future."

If the gang declares war, if it's just the gangsters below, it's fine. After all, no matter whose gang it is, they all need the soldiers below.However, if the leaders of all levels are defeated, unless they escape and hide their names, they will definitely be treated as a thorn in the flesh.

The Latin King gang is different from the Mafia and other gangs. They are composed of many small gangs, and there is no close hierarchical relationship. Now it seems that Razor's small gang should be one of the targets of the other party. .Moreover, this gang in Trinidad seems to be growing a bit too fast. The gang that has only been established for a few years has the strength to annex other gangs. They are very dangerous. I need to go back to Ruiz to check the information. By the way Also check to see if what Razor said is true.

Jimmy folded the newspaper, stood up and straightened his clothes, "I see." Then he turned and left the bench.Razor was still sitting on the bench, and Jimmy turned to look at him from a long distance away, but he still didn't leave.

Jimmy returned to the bureau and found Ruiz, "Ruiz, do you have any plans after get off work? Have a drink?"

Ruiz looked at Jimmy, who blinked, "What's wrong?"

Jimmy smiled: "A little thing."

Ruiz: "OK."

In the evening, Jimmy and Ruiz came to the bar next to Jimmy's apartment.

Jimmy came to the bar, knocked on the countertop and called, "Woody, two whiskeys."

Woody the bartender looked up at Jimmy, smiled and said, "You came early today, Jimmy. Old rules?"

Jimmy nodded, Woody poured two glasses of whiskey, Jimmy walked to the table next to him and sat down opposite Ruiz.

Ruiz: "You are very familiar with it, it seems that you have spent a lot of time here."

Jimmy smiled and said, "My apartment is right next door. It's more convenient and cleaner."

Ruiz took a sip of whiskey: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "Razor came to me today, and Serra of Trinidad declared war on them."

Ruiz: "It's normal, it happens a lot between small gangs."

Jimmy: "But Razor wants me to step in and save him if necessary."

Ruiz frowned: "Is it so serious?"

Jimmy nodded: "According to him, Trinidad has contacted the Azte gang on the US-Mexico border and may receive strong military support."

Ruiz took a hissing breath, "Someone is going to try to enter New York again, this group of people can't stop."

Jimmy: "I'm not familiar with gangs. After much deliberation, I still need to ask you to confirm their information. Razor is a smart person. He can find me in advance and arrange a retreat for himself. It's the right choice. Is he useful to you? If it really comes down to the worst."

Ruiz nodded: "Although it is not very useful, it is still possible to be a witness. I know what you mean. I will check it tomorrow. If it really reaches that point, I don't think he will refuse our request. After finishing speaking, Ruiz smiled in a low voice, and continued: "You boy, why do people who come into contact with you have some problems? People like Razor can find you, I really don't know how to say that you are trustworthy Or you look better at fooling around."

Jimmy also smiled, "It doesn't matter whether he trusts me or lies to me, as long as he is willing to bear the consequences of being discovered by me."

Ruiz also nodded: "Yeah, as long as he's not really stupid, he shouldn't lie to you too much, but don't believe him, it's probably just a smoke bomb. This guy has a very good mind. If he wants to prepare There is absolutely no way you can be the only one."

Jimmy: "I don't care, let's just pay back the favor he helped before. Besides, you can kill two birds with one stone. You must also need him. Anyway, he has been the boss for a long time, and what he has in his hands It should be quite a few."

Ruiz picked up the glass and took a sip: "Well, let us prepare a bit this time, and serve both sides in one pot when necessary."

The two drank casually and chatted. After a while, Ruiz put down his glass and left.

Jimmy sat on the edge of the bar with a glass of wine, "Woody, have another drink."

The bartender Woody has a good impression on Jimmy, he can talk, and he is very good at coming. The key is that Jimmy looks familiar to him, but he can’t remember who it is, but he must be the one he saw before. Characters from movies or TV shows.

In fact, Jimmy no longer cares about the characters in the movies and TV series he watched before appearing in this world. For him, a normal life is enough, even if they are the protagonists or supporting roles in the previous movies and TV series?
For Jimmy right now, nothing really worries him, not even Noah Watson from the Counter Terrorism Agency.As Jimmy has been in this world longer, he feels more and more that he doesn't need to care about too many things, and his mentality has changed too much from before.

Just live a normal life, this is your second life, enjoy life, enjoy your career, and live this life happily is the goal you should pursue.
