North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 400 Investigating Ma Hong
Jimmy still didn't call Hughes in the end, mainly because he didn't know what to say. No matter what, Mahone was the leader of the homicide team. If the superior puts pressure, there will definitely be accidents, internal accidents.

Jimmy surveyed all the addresses, and after marking them on the map, he started his investigations from lower Manhattan in the order from south to north.

There are only a few clubs involved in a dozen ships, so it’s not a big problem. Jimmy’s biggest problem is actually how to make them willing to provide information, because for clubs, protecting the privacy of their guests is what they think is the most important thing.

Mahone didn't need Jimmy to lead the way in. He had been a detective for a long time, so of course he knew how to communicate with people in these places. In fact, Jimmy was more like a driver now.

Ma Hong did not go in with much fanfare, but communicated with a security guard and asked him to notify the supervisor inside to come out for a meeting. After briefly confirming his identity, Ma Hong asked to contact the club's management personnel, looking at the three people in front of him. The FBI agent in a suit and the security director is also a bit of a Muggle, so he can only enter the club by himself.

It's better for the three of them not to go in. If they disturb other guests, they will be in trouble.Although it is not certain whether there are guests inside now, the security director must be careful.

After a while, a tall, middle-aged beauty in a white lady's suit came out from the inside, and she came to shake hands with Mahon standing in the front: "Michelle Levi, the manager here."

Mahone shook hands with her, then took out his ID and showed it: "FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone, these two are Felicia and Jimmy. Ms. Levi..."

Michelle: "Just call me Michelle."

Mahone: "OK, Michelle, can you show us around your club?"

Michelle froze for a moment, she thought she would talk straight to the point, and then nodded: "Of course, please."

Michelle brought Mahon in front, Jimmy and Felicia in the back, and the four of them entered the club together. It was the first time for Jimmy to come to this kind of place, so he just took the opportunity to have a look. manage.Although he said that he was not a rich person, it seemed that he still had enough money to rent a yacht, so he could take Nia out for a while when he had the opportunity.

Mahone: "Can I see your marina?"

Michelle nodded and led them away from the club building and into the pier area behind.

Jimmy watched Mahone communicate with Michelle, and he was really dissatisfied. Although in his opinion, Mahone was still very serious, it was obviously very suitable for the senses of a mature woman like Michelle. To be honest, if there was no With Felicia and Jimmy, maybe she would like something to happen.

Michelle did not refuse Mahone's request. There were not many boats on the pier. Mahone listened to Michelle's introduction, and then Felicia and Jimmy began to check the club's three small yachts. In fact, it is more like a fishing boat, with a cab and a small cabin in the front, and a deck in the back.

There were two ships with the same hull number at the dock. Mahone turned his head and glanced at them. Felicia nodded, and then he asked the key question: "Michelle, do these ships have GPS? There are also surveillance videos."

Michelle turned her head to look at Ma Hong, and only then did she understand the purpose of their visit.After thinking for a while, she nodded: "For safety, each ship has a black box, which will record the coordinates and time of their travel. As for monitoring, sorry, based on the privacy of customers, there is no monitoring on all yachts."

Ma Hong: "Michelle, we are here this time to check the track records of the three yachts with you, please help us."

Michelle pursed her lips tightly and kept thinking in her mind, "Can you tell me why?"

Mahone: "There are two cases involving several yachts that were on the Hudson River at the time, and we have obtained the hull numbers from the Port Authority."

Michelle shook her head: "This involves the private information of our customers, I need to ask for instructions, please wait a moment."

Michelle turned and left, and Mahone and Jimmy waited in place.It can be seen that Michelle is very professional. Even though she has a somewhat favorable impression of Ma Hong, she still does not forget her responsibilities.

Standing at the dock and looking at the Hudson River in front of him, Jimmy's thoughts just became stronger and stronger. If it wasn't for handling the case, he would now want to directly consult the charter price.I used to play fish shooting on the Mississippi River with Karg before, but I really didn't enjoy fishing, even thinking about fishing in the sea is not bad.As soon as he thinks about it, he thinks about it, and only a young man like him who has no psychological burden can do this.

After waiting for a long time, Michelle came back, followed by two people who looked like technicians, each carrying a box.

Michelle: "Please provide the hull number, and my colleagues will read the relevant information." At this time, her expression and voice have returned to normal, and there is also less intimacy, more like business affairs look.

Felicia took out the information, pointed to the two docked cruise ships, and the two entered respectively.

Felicia: "There is another one that is not currently on the dock, the one with the tail number 15."

Michelle: "That ship is not here at the moment. It is a long-term charter yacht. It has left the club a week ago and is expected to return next week."

Ma Hong nodded: "Thank you very much."

It took a long time to read the data, and with the transcoding, it took nearly an hour for the two staff members to get the data, but it also made Jimmy and the others understand that investigating other yacht clubs later would be a big trouble.

After thanking Michelle again for her cooperation, they did not continue. Instead, they returned to the office with these two sets of data. As the first sample, they need to get familiar with it as soon as possible. It is a common practice, so with this record, after knowing how to deal with it, it is much more convenient to deal with other people.

But when they started to read the data, they found that the error of GPS positioning was a bit large. The Hudson River is not very wide, and the actual position recorded in the GPS record is not accurate enough to be on the bank or in the middle of the river. edge position.This is a big joke. If the yacht does not dock, it is impossible for the people on it to fly directly to the shore.Without monitoring, there is now no way to tell from these GPS records whether the two ships docked while passing through the Hudson River Park.

A clue was interrupted again, and there was no need for the subsequent yacht club to continue the investigation, and the case fell into darkness again.

Jimmy looked at Mahon who was in deep thought, and always felt that something was wrong. Did he use too much force?Yes, the serial murder case is serious, but isn't Mahone getting a little too involved?
Felicia looked at Mahon, her eyes seemed to flicker, she must know something, Jimmy looked at her from the side, frankly speaking, the black girl Jimmy is not interested, but the state of Mahon now makes him feel, it seems I should find a way to find out about Ma Hong's situation. Such a boss is very stressful.

Jimmy: "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette." Jimmy didn't wait for their reply, turned around and left the office directly, Mahone didn't seem to hear Jimmy's voice at all, he kept thinking, and Felicia turned to look at Jimmy , took another look at Mahone, but didn't move.

Jimmy called Ruiz, the best tool man, and invited him downstairs to smoke together. Well, this reason is really ridiculous. We are all on the same floor, and we have to call to make an appointment. Anyone knows he has something to do.

Ruiz didn't keep Jimmy waiting long. After smoking two cigarettes, he went downstairs to Jimmy's side, "Give me one."

Jimmy took out the cigarette case and gave Ruiz a Huazi. Since he came to Manhattan, he has been buying Huazi from an old store in Chinatown, but the cigarette case is so ugly that he has to disassemble it every time. into his cigarette case.

Taking out the lighter that the homeless man gave him, he reached out his hand to light Ruiz's cigarette, and Jimmy said, "Ruiz, do me a favor."

Ruiz nodded with a cigarette in his mouth, and Jimmy continued: "Help me check my current boss, Alexander Mahon, I want to see his information."

Ruiz glanced at Jimmy, then to the side of the road, "What's the problem?"

Jimmy: "Not sure yet, it's just that he makes me uncomfortable."

Ruiz: "Would you like to come to my place? I can go to Hughes."

Jimmy: "No, it's not like that, you know me. I don't care about a boss, even if it's airborne, someone I don't know at all, it doesn't matter.

In the few days since he came here, he was fine before, but since we started investigating the case, I suddenly found that he seemed to be in a bit of a bad state.How should I put it, during the process of handling the case, he was too nervous. If I didn't know that the case had just happened, I would suspect that he knew about the suspect, or even that he was the suspect. "

Ruiz thought for a while, took two puffs of cigarettes, and said, "I think I understand his condition. I'll check it out for you, and don't contact anyone else."

Ruiz threw the cigarette butt on the floor and turned to go upstairs. Jimmy didn't move, just stood there until his cigarette was exhausted.

Jimmy was very conflicted. This was the first time he took the initiative to investigate his boss. He was still worried about his state, not for himself. I have been entangled for a long time, and now I want Ruiz to assist me in investigating Mahone, it is strange not to be entangled.

As a team, Jimmy doesn't want his boss to be in a tight spot, and if something goes wrong, it could cause more damage, both to himself and to the game.

Jimmy threw the cigarette butt on the ground, turned around and went upstairs. After such a meeting, it is estimated that Mahone has returned to normal. After all, there is no clue now, and his mind should be separated from the case.

Sure enough, both Mahone and Felicia were sitting in their respective seats, and they were continuing to search for information. These were mainly the information from the Manhattan office, as well as the previous cases. When Jimmy first joined the homicide team, he also spent a long time Take time to familiarize yourself with these, and even suspend the progress of familiarizing with the materials because of the disgusting plot in it, so as not to be psychopathic.

Time passed slowly, and after three days passed smoothly, the bad news came again. NYPD transferred another case, the same female corpse as the previous two cases, but this time the case was not in the Hudson River Park, but by the river next door in Jersey City.

After receiving the report, the Jersey City Police Department checked the identity of the woman's body, but could not verify it, and finally contacted the NYPD, so the same three cases were successfully merged.

This time Mahon did not go to the scene to investigate in person. He directly asked Felicia to contact the New Zealand Port Authority to re-investigate the information of the boat on the Hudson River last night. Yes, after they saw the location of the body, they immediately It is certain that if these three cases were committed by one person, he must have moved on the river in a boat.

The third case where the female body was found in Jersey City was the same as the two cases in the park, and there was no surveillance to see the information. NYPD has already investigated once with the cooperation of the Jersey City Police Department.

After Felicia got the shipping information from the New Zealand Port Authority, she compared it with the ships found last time, and three yachts that had appeared for several days surfaced.

Some smiles appeared on Mahone's face, and finally it was no longer gloomy. Jimmy looked at the clubs corresponding to the three ships, and one of them belonged to the club they went to two days ago, the long-term leased one. a yacht.

Jimmy: "Shall we investigate now?"

Mahone shook his head: "GPS location is meaningless, what we need is their customer list, and they will definitely not give this information."

Jimmy: "How about that?"

Mahon didn't speak, but stood up and looked out the window.

He is so thoughtful, there are really too many twists and turns in his head.Jimmy looked at Mahon standing at the window looking out, and couldn't guess what he had planned.

Ruiz hasn't given Jimmy the files yet, and he hasn't urged him either. His relationship with Ruiz has far surpassed that of ordinary colleagues. If there is no problem, Ruiz will never forget to give him the files. He must be investigating what he thinks is wrong now.It's just that Jimmy doesn't know what's going on at all now. Since Mahone came, everything seems to be wrong. Is his bad luck coming again?

Mahone: "Jimmy, do you know any rich people? Preferably with a yacht club membership."

Jimmy: "No, it's my first time going to this kind of club, but I can ask someone."

Mahon: "Be careful to keep it secret."

Jimmy: "Well, our man, Peter from the white-collar team, he should know quite a few of these people."

Mahon: "I know him, you go."

Jimmy turned and left the office. It had been a long time since he had seen Peter. It was too impolite to make a phone call, so he should go by himself.People around Jimmy, if they know rich people, probably only Peter and Hughes are left besides Nia and her father.Forget about Hughes, Peter is better at talking.
