North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 422

Ruiz is busy, but Jimmy is too idle.Jimmy has already contacted Mahone. Mahone is really powerful. In just three days, he forcibly screened out people who might save Brown from the fugitive Brown's former gang members. Inquiry", successfully found the person who delivered the car to Brown.

Even if Jimmy were to investigate, he would not be able to find out the person who delivered the car to Brown so quickly among dozens of former gang members. Going through the normal process, there is absolutely no way to make these people who have been gangsters since childhood honestly confess.

From this point of view, Ma Hong's method is definitely not so open and aboveboard, but he was able to find the right owner without anyone complaining, which really has to admire him.

Jimmy can probably guess Mahone's method, which is definitely a method with many years of experience. If Jimmy is asked to put down the reasonable process to extract a confession, the local police are probably crazy now.

It is not yet time for Jimmy to dispatch. Mahone and the others are already on their way back. Brown's car has been found, but it has lost its whereabouts in an unmonitored location in the suburbs.According to the direction in which Brown was driving, it can probably be judged that he is headed in the direction of New York or New Jersey.

It is not easy to query vehicle information from monitoring, and it is not so simple to input the license plate to automatically filter out the pictures of vehicles passing by from the video. In the current era, the investigation of monitoring requires a lot of manpower, so there must be a specific time and a specific monitoring area. It's good to investigate.Brown drove away in a car. Since he disappeared from the surveillance, the remaining route choices and time were completely uncontrollable. It was a pipe dream to investigate the surveillance along the way.

The best hope now is that something happened to Brown somewhere, and the local patrol found it, because there are no police cars equipped with license plate recognition devices yet, and it will take several years to wait.

Ma Hong and the others will go back to rest temporarily when they come back, and it will probably be two days later when they come to work.

Soon, Jimmy's leisure time was gone, and the emergency call lights sounded again. Jimmy turned off the lights and ran to Hughes' office with his clothes.

Hughes no nonsense: "News from the NYPD that a car was driving recklessly from near Central Park, hit several cars along the way, the driver robbed the car twice at gunpoint, and ended up driving into a Brooklyn high school in a police pursuit. It has been determined that he has held several students hostage, and now the high school has received an order to evacuate other students, and ESU has also received an order to set off, you go there to ensure that there will be no disaster that is difficult to rescue."

Jimmy: "Understood, I'm leaving now."

Another school, another kidnapped student, this is already the second campus kidnapping incident that Jimmy has to deal with, and in Brooklyn, it takes some time to rush from the FBI office, the traffic in New York is really a headache, and I don't know if anything will happen before he arrives.

Jimmy drove the car on the road, complaining again about the hateful administration department. He was not high enough to equip police lights and sirens. At the same time, the application for changing the car was rejected again. In fact, there is a Saab class in the Manhattan office, which is also in use normally, but it is still a level Problem, as a second-year detective, Jimmy isn't good enough.

I drove all the way to Brooklyn, overtaking. Fortunately, this Brooklyn high school is not too far away, just pass the Brooklyn Bridge and drive a few blocks.

Jimmy parked his car outside the school and entered the school with an FBI badge. The place has been blocked by the police. A large number of police cars are parked inside and outside the school. The scene still looks a bit chaotic, because there are too many people in NYPD, 77 in New York In the branch, at the current location, the patrolmen chasing from Manhattan are mixed with the police officers arranged by the police station in Brooklyn. It is necessary to find the person in charge to figure out the current situation.

Jimmy stopped a policeman: "FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young, who is in charge here?"

The policeman was also confused. He could only take Jimmy to the temporary command center. Jimmy had already spotted the only police inspector (Lieutenant, usually a golden vertical bar) with sharp eyes.
Jimmy came up to the Inspector and held out his hand and said, "Inspector, FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young, how is it?"

The inspector glanced at Jimmy's badge, and reached out to shake hands with Jimmy: "Bruce Hoffman, the robbers fled to the front teaching building, and they were in a classroom on the second floor. Confirmed. The teaching building has been surrounded, ESU is on the way, and will be there soon."

Jimmy: "The robber's weapon?"

Inspector Hoffman: "What is known so far is a pistol. He shot one of our police officers at the door of the classroom. The police officer did not approach the classroom after that."

Jimmy was about to continue when his cell phone rang. He glanced at Hughes, it was broken, there was something else.

Jimmy answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

Hughes: "Have you been to the scene? How is it now?"

Jimmy: "Just arrived, I'm communicating with NYPD about the scene, what's the matter?"

Hughes: "Come back as soon as the matter is over. Detectives from the Newark office in New Jersey have come to our office. There is a case that needs your assistance."

Jimmy frowned, Newark, not just across the office, this is directly across the state, he asked, "Why are they in New York?"

Hughes: "There was a trash can explosion in Newark. According to the on-site explosives detection, it has the same composition as the explosion you handled last time."

Jimmy took a deep breath, isn't it, the previous case has been closed, except for the mastermind who ran away, the rest of the people should be caught dead, there should be no omissions.Especially the bomb maker Al, who has just been thrown into prison for a few months, it is impossible to come out now.

Jimmy: "I see. I'll go back after I've dealt with the matter here."

Jimmy hung up the phone and looked towards the teaching building. Now their position is on the side of the teaching building, and other police officers have been around the teaching building at various angles to ensure that the robbers will not run away.

Now that the teaching building has been emptied, you can see that there are more than a dozen policemen scattered around the first and second floors of the teaching building, and there is only one room where the personnel are concentrated.

This is a high school. Although many of these high school students are very big, there is only one standing person in the room, and the others are squatting in the corner. This should be a robber.

Jimmy looked at Inspector Hoffman: "Sorry, the call from the bureau, what did we just talk about?"

Inspector Hoffman: "It's okay, we can handle the case here, and you can leave first if you have something to do."

Jimmy shook his head: "It's okay, I'll wait."

After waiting for a while, the ESU (NYPD Emergency Service Unit, similar to SWAT) armored vehicle was already in place, and a heavily armed team of six people got out of the vehicle. They came directly to Inspector Hoffman, and Jimmy took two steps back , out of position.

Inspector Hoffman is the highest-ranking police officer on the scene, and the ESU will operate under his command.

There is nothing to say about their arrangements. The biggest problem now is the students who were held hostage.The negotiators from the police station also arrived, put on bulletproof vests, and entered the teaching building under the escort of the ESU. Jimmy has no command right now, and can only listen to the communication between the negotiators and the robbers in the temporary command center, but this communication is completely absent. As a result, the conversation was interrupted by a gunshot after only two sentences.

The gun was fired by the robbers, of course they didn't hit anyone, they just warned him not to come again, he was not interested in negotiating.

Jimmy found it very strange that this person was not the one who directly entered the school to carry out the school shooting. He only rushed into the school after being chased by the NYPD patrol all the way.He must be aware of the current situation. He is completely surrounded by the police. Although he has students as hostages, he will never be able to escape. No matter how he thinks about it, he should not refuse the police negotiators.

After a while, the FBI's home field personnel finally came, the Brooklyn-Queens field office people, the problems that normally occur in Brooklyn, they must have come to the scene, and it turned out that the Manhattan people arrived first, and they were behind for so long.

The agents of the field office came to the temporary command center and immediately greeted Jimmy with a smile. This was another person who knew Jimmy. Jimmy also thought he looked familiar. He should be a subordinate or acquaintance of agent Ryan Phillips of the field office. .

After briefly chatting about the situation at the scene, Jimmy continued to eat melons, and the agents of the field office left the temporary command center. Soon, Ryan came in from the outside to greet Jimmy. Jimmy and Ryan left the temporary command center and came to an open space .

Ryan: "Jimmy, are you going to handle it again?"

Jimmy smiled and shook hands with Ryan. The two of them are old acquaintances and have worked together a few times before. "Well, of course the support team is where they need to go. How are you doing?"

With ESU in front, Jimmy is relatively relaxed now, Ryan pointed to the teaching building: "Are you going to..."

Jimmy shook his head: "No need, ESU has already gone in, wait for them."

Ryan nodded: "How are you doing recently? I heard that you were going to change jobs before."

Jimmy was speechless. The vitality of this rumor is really strong. He went to the college to teach, but even the field office spread rumors that he was going to change his house.

Jimmy: "Nothing, I was just invited back to the academy as an instructor, not long after I came back."

The two chatted casually for a while, but they were interrupted by gunshots. There were several pistol shots in the teaching building, followed by rifle shots. Jimmy and the others hurried back to the temporary command center. A few minutes later, a group of The students ran out of the teaching building, followed by the NYPD, and then the ESU team. One of them seemed to be shot, and was carried out of the teaching building by two people. The emergency doctor who had arrived at the scene earlier took over and carried him to Emergency treatment in an ambulance.

"The robber was shot dead. One of the students was shot in the leg. He is undergoing emergency treatment. The emergency doctor can go upstairs." A person from ESU walked over and said something, and then returned to the ESU armored vehicle.

Ryan and Jimmy saw that the on-site incident had been resolved, so they said goodbye and left.

Jimmy doesn’t deal with cases much, but it’s normal for this kind of thing to be so soy sauced. NYPD is not that weak. It’s not the first time that ESU has dealt with this kind of thing. Yes, it has been dealt with too much.

Jimmy returned to the FBI office, came to Hughes' office, and saw an acquaintance in the conference room next to him, Agent Riley Butler from the Newark office, who was responsible for supporting Jimmy when he dealt with the bombing last time.

Jimmy shook hands with Agent Riley Butler: "Long time no see, Agent Butler."

Riley Butler smiled and said, "Long time no see, Jimmy, just call me Riley. I still hope you can help me this time."

Riley took a file from the table in the conference room and handed it to Jimmy. Jimmy opened it and took a look. There were a scene of a trash can explosion, and there were a few photos behind it that were laboratory evidence. There was an explosives detection report in the file. At the same time, there is also a test report on the explosion at the home of Nur Mohammad, the mastermind of the New York bombing last time.

Both used C4 as the main explosive. At the same time, ammonium nitrate extracted from chemical fertilizers was found in these two explosions.

Jimmy looked at Riley: "Riley, has anyone claimed responsibility for this bombing?"

Riley shook his head: "The location of the trash can is not monitored, and we can't see who put it there. We only found out that it was consistent with the explosion that happened on your side when the test report came out."

Jimmy looked at Hughes: "This bombing is the apartment of Noor, the mastermind of the bombing. He ran away early and flew to Paris. Did he come back?"

Hughes: "That's what you need to come back and investigate."

Jimmy was speechless: "There are no clues now. It is impossible to find the mastermind Noor just by relying on a bombing case without any suspects. And it is not certain whether Noor Mohammad is back, he just fled For a few months, it was not so easy to come over from the customs side."

Riley interjected: "Jimmy, I mainly hope that you can take me to talk to the person who made the bomb. He made all the previous bombs. This time the same type of bomb appeared. He may know something. "

Hughes nodded. Jimmy can only make one trip, but he still needs to contact the prison in advance. The visit process of the federal high-level prison is still very formal. Jimmy needs to find a phone number to contact in advance to confirm the time. .

At the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, Jimmy and Riley removed their weapons and stored them under the supervision of prison guards, then entered the interior of the prison and met El Kroger, the bomb maker of the New York bombings, in an interrogation room .

Jimmy: "Al, remember us?"

This broken prison is really bad. After entering, I smelled a very bad smell. I even saw a mouse in the corridor. In this environment, El’s life is not good. He was so round when he was caught, but now he has lost a lot of weight.El was handcuffed with both hands, because he was in prison, so even as a felon, he did not wear shackles.

El: "What's up with the two agents?"

Jimmy signaled Riley to speak, the bombing was not led by him, let Riley handle it.Riley didn't refuse either: "El, do you still have any memory of Nuer who escaped back then?"

El: "He got caught?"

Riley: "No, it's just that when his apartment exploded, you made the explosives."

El nodded. This was already confirmed in the trial, so there is no need to deny it.

Riley: "Is there anyone else who would make this kind of bomb besides you?"

A smile appeared on El's face: "Let's think about it, another bombing happened, right?"

Riley looked at El expressionlessly, neither nodding nor shaking his head.El's smile disappeared, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Make a deal! I can tell you someone. As a deal, let me change the prison. I want a clean room."

Riley looked at Jimmy, then at Al. "What do you know? Give me a clue."

El shook his head: "I already understand why you came to me, now I have put forward my conditions, agreed to the conditions, and I will give you clues."

Riley: "It's not up to us to transfer you to prison."

El: "Then find someone who can make the decision. Guard!" El shouted loudly, the prison guard at the door opened the door and looked inside, El stood up and walked towards the guard, "I'll wait for your news." After finishing speaking, The guard pulled Al out of the interrogation room.

Jimmy: "Riley, what do you think? This Al is not so easy to deal with."

Riley nodded: "Let's go back."

Jimmy and Riley got their weapons back and returned to the FBI office. This time, Jimmy had nothing to do. Riley went directly to Hughes, and it was not clear what they talked about.The bombing happened in Newark, not New York, and it had nothing to do with Jimmy, as long as he did his job.
