North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 215 New Case

Jimmy hung up the phone and returned to Jones.

Jimmy normally carries two mobile phones with him. One is the mobile phone issued by the FBI and uses a new number. He will use this number during his time with the FBI, at least for now. The other mobile phone is the one that was publicly owned by him in Little Rock.

Phone number.

There is also a mobile phone in the apartment. It is an anonymous mobile phone used to contact Justin. There is no need to carry it with him at ordinary times. Jimmy has already communicated with Justin. Since he is no longer a service provider, he should not be able to do it normally.

Someone contacted that mobile number.

While watching Jones process the surveillance footage, Jimmy wondered who wanted to see him. Although he had lived in Little Rock for more than two years, Jimmy actually didn't have many acquaintances, except for people from the police department and related fraternal units.

It seems Jimmy has no one to contact through James.

If you can't figure it out, forget it. Since the contact is through James, there will definitely be no problem. James is still reliable.

Peter walked out of the office, went downstairs and came to Jones' seat, "Jones, how did you call the police yesterday?"

Jones: "Call 911, what happened?"

Peter: "The NYPD said there was a shootout yesterday, but there was no body or blood at the scene. They have closed the case as an ordinary gang dispute."

Jimmy: "Impossible. I went in yesterday and took a look. There were more than a dozen people dead on the first floor and several people on the second and third floors. How come there are no corpses and blood stains?"

After Jimmy finished speaking, he suddenly froze. He remembered a service he had used before. When he was in Memphis, he called to clean out the house of a gang boss.

Peter didn't notice anything unusual about Jimmy. He just thought Jimmy was surprised, which was normal.

Peter frowned and said: "There are no bodies or bloodstains, there are only people reporting gunshots, and there is no follow-up to this case. It seems to be the style of the gang. As long as the evidence is eliminated and the NYPD is not troubled, their internal affairs will be solved internally."

, no interference from outsiders.

This kind of gang struggle case has nothing to do with us. Since Raymond is dead, there is nothing we can do. The Chris Spencer case should continue to be shelved unless there are clear clues to find Chris."

After Peter finished speaking, he turned and returned to the office upstairs.

Jones looked at the surveillance video in front of him and didn't bother to sort it out. It was useless anyway, so he was going to end it directly.

Jimmy: "Jones, give me a copy of this last video."

Jones: "What do you want this for?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "Learn how to analyze the video."

Jones: "Well, this video is of no use anyway."

Jimmy copied it to his computer and started browsing. He mainly looked at the last wave of people scattered because he had observed in advance that it was an underground casino, so in principle, the people here should be rich except for gang members.

You may be a bad gambler.

Although I don’t know if it will be useful, I can clearly see how many of them there are. If it will be useful in the future, no one can say for sure.

Unfortunately, the quality of the cameras Jones used was really not very good. Most of them could only distinguish outlines, and Jimmy really couldn't see what they looked like clearly.

But there are also gains. In Jimmy's mind's eye state, he can only see the outline drawn by lines. With the influence of this low-pixel camera, Jimmy can just add some simulated humanoid details to the outline seen by his mind's eye, such as the protruding body.

The location may not necessarily be a gun, it could just be a fat man with a big belly.

While watching the video, Jimmy's phone rang again. It was the number in Little Rock, but this time it was an unknown number and it was not in his contacts.

Jimmy answered the phone: "Hi, I'm Jimmy, who are you?"

On the other end of the phone: "Hi, Jimmy, I'm John, John Butler, from the Secret Service. Remember me?"

Jimmy thought about the Secret Service and the Vice President incident for a moment, "Oh, of course I remember, John, what's the matter?"

John: "It's a small matter, but it's best to meet and chat. Are you in New York?"

Jimmy: "Well, I am no longer a county police officer. I am now in the Manhattan office of the FBI in New York."

John: "OK, I will go find you tomorrow and contact you then."

Jimmy: "See you tomorrow, bye, John."

John: "Bye, Jimmy."

It seems that John is the person James said was coming to find him. Why didn't James say anything? Also, why did John come to find him at this time? He always felt like something was going on.

Peter came out of the office and clapped his hands, "Diane, Jones, Jimmy, come up."

Several people came to the conference room. Peter did not turn on the projector and directly threw three documents over. "The case transferred by the NYPD, the stolen item is an oil painting worth 2.6 million, a work by Haustenberg."

Diana: "The museum was robbed?"

Peter shook his head: "No, residential burglary."

Jones: "The safe robber?"

Peter continued to shake his head: "No, it's hanging on the wall. Diane, let's go, let's go meet this man who can hang millions of oil paintings on the wall. Jones, Jimmy, you guys are on standby here."

Jimmy took the document and left the conference room, and sat back in his seat. The preliminary investigation was none of his own business, so he probably did the same as last time, doing the subsequent monitoring.

Jimmy didn't have anything else to do that day. He spent the whole afternoon looking up information. The team had too many case files. For Jimmy, looking at information was his main job now.

Early the next morning, there will be a case analysis meeting.

Peter put up a picture on the projector: "Haustenberg's painting "Girl with a Pendant"", which was the only picture. The owner was Juliana, who inherited the house and estate from her grandmother, Gary

, Juliana's uncle, a stockbroker.

Juliana is still in school. A few days ago, she came home after class and happened to meet a thief. After fighting with the thief, the thief ran away. Nothing else was lost at the scene. Only this painting was lost and no fingerprints were left.

With traces like that, it looks like he must be a repeat offender.

The clues that Diane and I found were that Gary was very suspicious and was probably a thief. Gary provided information about the painting and the time of Juliana's class, and others came to steal the painting. However, because Zhu Liana left get out of class early, which led to her encounter with a thief.

Jones, Jimmy, you are responsible for following up and seeing who this Gary will contact and meet. Go ahead."

Jones packed his things and was about to leave. Jimmy said to Peter: "Peter, I want to wait for someone here. Let Jones go first. I will go find him later."

Peter: "Waiting for someone? Who?"

Jimmy: "John, from the Secret Service."

Peter looked at Jimmy and nodded "OK."
