North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 303 Investigation and Inquiry

After Ruiz was taken away in the ambulance, Jimmy called Hughes, "Hughes, MS13 kidnapped our surveillance team. Ruiz and I came over to negotiate with them. There was a shootout, and Ruiz's abdomen

He was shot and has been sent to the hospital. We need other people to support us in collecting evidence."

Jimmy didn't wait for Hughes to ask, he talked a lot, and then waited for Hughes' instructions.

Hughes: "Wait at the scene for a moment. Agent Ryan Phillips will bring someone to take over, and you will come back immediately." After saying that, Hughes hung up the phone.

Jimmy curled his lips. A trainee agent had no human rights. He was not allowed to finish the case he was working on. That was right. He was avoiding danger. But who was this Ryan Phillips? He had never seen him before.

Jimmy and several NYPD members stayed at the scene to watch, and the three kidnapped members of the surveillance team also stayed behind, waiting for follow-up personnel to take over and take notes.

More than half an hour later, several cars stopped outside the bar, and a middle-aged man with cool short hair walked in with a few people.

"Who is Jimmy?"

Jimmy raised his hand to say hello: "Me."

Ryan shook hands with Jimmy: "Ryan Phillips, from the Queens office. How is it here?" After saying that, he looked at the room behind Jimmy. It was a big scene. At a glance, there were three people lying on the ground.

There are two more in the distance.

Jimmy: "It would be best if you take over. Hughes is still waiting for me to report back. The three of them are members of the surveillance team who were kidnapped by MS13. They are handed over to you."

Ryan waved his hand: "Go back quickly, I will handle the rest."

Jimmy: "OK, bye."

Jimmy straightened his clothes, turned around and left the bar and went to the street. The NYPD had cordoned off traffic here. Jimmy could only walk to the intersection and hail a taxi to return to Manhattan.

"Dong dong", Jimmy knocked on Hughes' door.

Hughes: "Come in, close the door!" Jimmy entered the office and closed the glass door.

Hughes: "Tell me, what happened? How did you go with Ruiz?"

Jimmy: "Ruiz arranged for a surveillance team to monitor a stronghold of MS13, but he suddenly couldn't contact them. He thought that someone from MS13 might have discovered the existence of the surveillance team, so he needed to negotiate with them.

Before contacting me, Ruiz had already called SWAT in advance, but they were not used in the end."

Jimmy recounted the entire incident from beginning to end, and of course it must be stated that he took action only after hearing gunshots coming from the room, and that he was very worried about Ruiz's safety.

After hearing this, Hughes said: "You go back and rest first, and wait for the call to participate in the inquiry, just for these two days. Go back."

Jimmy didn't say anything more, he opened the door and walked out of Hughes' office, and went downstairs to go home.

Hughes watched Jimmy leave the office, clenched his right fist and punched the desk. He planned to hang on Jimmy for a while, but a phone call from Ruiz canceled all his plans. Hughes looked at the time and stood up.

I picked up my suit, put it on, left the office and went to the hospital to check on the situation.

Jones's position was not far downstairs. He watched Jimmy come back and walk into Hughes' office. Not long after, he saw Jimmy leave, followed by Hughes, and his spirit of gossip suddenly aroused.

Jones came upstairs in a few steps, knocked on Peter's door, entered and closed the door behind him.

Jones whispered: "Peter, it seems something happened to Jimmy again."

Peter looked up at him: "What?"

Jones: "When he came back just now, he went directly to find Hughes, and then they left."

Peter said nothing and thought for a while, "It has nothing to do with us, just go back."

Jones turned around, opened the door and walked out, but Peter began to think about what was going on that made Hughes go out in such a hurry, and since it had to do with Jimmy, it felt like it was not a trivial matter.

Jimmy went home and rested for a while before taking a shower. This process was really familiar. Although he had never experienced it in the FBI before, he had participated in it many times in the early days of being a county police officer. It was just an inquiry, not a big deal.

Jimmy had a good rest at night and was going to reconnect with the previous agent the next day. Now that he is back in Manhattan, the house matter should be put on the agenda. Who doesn't want to have a house of his own!

The next day, Hughes met Special Agent Ryan Phillips of the Queens Borough Office in the office. This case should not have reached Hughes's level. Agent Ryan handled it directly and it was over. However, what happened

His subordinates Ruiz and Jimmy are involved, so he must understand the case situation in advance and arrange inquiries.

Agent Ryan brought a lot of things when he came this time, the most important of which were two video tapes. Jimmy also didn't expect that the bar not only had surveillance cameras at the entrance, but also in the bar lobby, and there were one on each corner.

Everything that happened in the bar lobby was recorded.

Hughes first learned about the scene and the situation of the three kidnapped surveillance team members with Ryan, and then went to the conference room with Ryan, where the video recorder could be connected to play the videotape.

Peter's office was right next to the conference room. When he heard something like this, he naturally got involved and watched the videotape.

The surveillance did not record the sound. It is strange that the gang's surveillance is such a low-level product. It is said that if they can set up a surveillance center, they should not be short of money to build a better one. Ryan also confirmed this, and the intelligence personnel

I have checked the surveillance system and it is true that it only records images and no sound.

The videotape has been processed. From the time Ruiz and Jimmy were at the corridor door to the two entering the underground bar lobby, the scene after Ruiz entered the small room is not in the videotape because there is no surveillance in that small room. The confession there was made by

Provided by Ruiz, the only person alive in the room and in the hospital.

Due to the clarity of the surveillance, we could only see Jimmy holding on to the high table without making any movement. A few minutes later, Jimmy suddenly took out a Glock from his waist and fired at the two guards at the door. Then he turned around and hid behind a pillar next to him.

, three people appear from the other side, Jimmy kills them, then breaks open the door of the small room, and kills the two people against the wall.

The second videotape also has the same scene, but the angle is different. It is closer to Jimmy and you can see more details.

Hughes and Peter only knew that Jimmy was a good fighter, but they had never seen him in action. This was their first time to see Jimmy's marksmanship and skills in actual combat.

After the two video tapes were played, Ryan replayed the first video. This time he paused at any time with the controller and explained the situation in the video, mainly based on the corresponding positions of the seven dead people and their appearance in the video.

Explain what happened.

After getting this video yesterday, Ryan has already communicated with people in the Queens office. Because he will make a preliminary report to Hughes today, many things need to be prepared in advance. Now is the time to show the information he prepared in advance.

.

They did not describe Jimmy's shooting action, but based on the investigation of the bullet holes at the scene and the shooting positions of the parties in the video, they had determined in advance that Jimmy did not miss a single shot during the whole process.

In the direction of Jimmy's shooting, they did not find any bullets embedded in the wall or the ground. In other words, all the bullets hit the human body, some remained in the human body, and some fragmented and fell to the ground.

This is already very surprising. We are all FBI agents, and Hughes also grew up as a junior agent. They know the efficiency of their ammunition usage under normal circumstances, let alone not wasting a round. Under normal circumstances,

Agents empty or semi-empty the magazine in the maximum output mode.

After Ryan explained Jimmy's actions of killing several people, he reversed the video tape and came to the position where he killed the two guards at the beginning. "In addition, I discovered a rather special situation. Judging from the scene, Jimmy had

Your own unique shooting rhythm. Look here."

Ryan paused the scene and started to play it slowly, "From here on, Jimmy's shooting frequency has always been double, one shot in the chest and one shot in the head. You can look at the muzzle flash here. The guard was shot

order."

"The shooting method in Mozambique is usually to aim at the chest and fire two shots. Taking advantage of the short stiffness after being hit, aim and hit the head, completely preventing the possibility of his counterattack. But Jimmy was obviously very confident in his shooting skills and shot at the chest.

He raised the muzzle after one shot, and his marksmanship was really good."

He sped up the playback and came to the small room. "Look here, Jimmy changed to the revolver before killing the last person. The confession and video obtained from the captured man should prove that Jimmy was looking for people in the room while moving.

target, and hit the forehead with one shot to complete the kill."

Ryan paused the video and looked at Hughes and Peter, who was watching, "Although this is the first time I've seen this Jimmy, his appearance doesn't match his behavior in the video at all. He looks like just a young agent."

That's all.

This kind of psychological quality, even when there are one enemy and many, is not chaotic at all, and there is no mistake in the whole battle. It is definitely better than many SWAT members. I even doubt whether the people over at HRT can do this. If I were to face this kind of

The scene, nine times out of ten, I would have been shot just like Ruiz."

Hughes: "Well, you're right. Thank you, Ryan. I need you to come over tomorrow and participate in the questioning of Jimmy. You can go back and prepare."

Ryan nodded, stood up and began to pack up the video tapes and the information he had brought.

Hughes turned to look at Peter: "Don't reveal it to the outside world yet."

Peter nodded and returned to his office through the back door of the conference room.

Hughes got up and left the meeting room, returned to his office, and began to convene the members of tomorrow's inquiry meeting. This time, in addition to Jimmy's shooting, it also involved Ruiz's shooting, so it was not possible to handle the matter internally like before.

Jimmy met with the agent again. After a lot of hard work, he went back and forth several times, but he couldn't get Jimmy a house, which was really a bit embarrassing. Because the interval was too long, there were some changes in the housing stock, so he made a new selection.

After that, the agency helped Jimmy collect information again.

After receiving the notice from Hughes, Jimmy came to the office early the next day and waited in the tea room for the call from Hughes and the others.

"Jimmy, come here." Hughes pointed at Jimmy and shouted from the second floor, crossed his fingers, and turned around to enter the conference room. Jimmy stood up, buttoned his suit, straightened his clothes, and went upstairs to the conference room.

"Good morning everyone."

"Jimmy, put the weapon on the table." Hughes did not let Jimmy sit down, but first gave an instruction that surprised Jimmy.

Jimmy took off the Glock holster from his belt and put it on the table. Then he pulled out the revolver and put it on the table. Then he unbuttoned his suit and sat next to the conference table. Opposite him was not the three-person court hearing, but five people sitting directly opposite him.

One person, and another person sitting at the other end of the conference table, with pen and paper and a laptop in front of him, obviously taking notes.

Hughes began to introduce everyone: "Special Agent Ryan Phillips of Queens, who is responsible for the MS13 bar shooting investigation; Agent Garrett Fuller of OPR, and Federal Attorney Richard."

Hughes only introduced three people, and there was a man in camouflage uniform who was not introduced. Judging from the fact that he was sitting at the very edge, he must have been listening.

Agent Ryan first introduced the circumstances of the case and presented the testimonies of the three kidnapped members of the surveillance team. He first gave a basic introduction to the case, and then asked Jimmy about the reason for shooting.

Jimmy: "After I accompanied Ruiz into the bar, I met with Ocelot, the leader of MS13. Ruiz entered the small room alone with three people inside. While I was waiting, I heard a muffled gunshot in the room.

With three people there, the gunshot definitely did not come from Ruiz, so I was very worried about his safety.

After entering the bar, I observed the surrounding environment, killed several people, and then entered the small room. Ruiz was shot in the abdomen and fell to the ground."

OPR's Agent Garrett Fuller then asked, "Why didn't you check first? Instead of just shooting?"

Jimmy looked at Garrett and replied: "Under the circumstances at that time, I couldn't enter the room normally to confirm. There were two people guarding the door. They both had guns. The sound insulation effect of that room was very good. According to the sound of gunshots,

Judging from my judgment, even if I shouted, there was no guarantee whether the people inside could be heard, and there was no guarantee whether Ruiz would have a chance to reply.

The situation at the scene was very sensitive. Any movement I made would cause the two guards at the door to notice me, and I might be threatened with a gun. I could only choose the safest way to deal with it."

Garrett: "This is just your guess, not enough reason for you to kill two people."

Jimmy: "Sorry, as a field agent, the most appropriate judgment I could make at the time was this. Not only did I have to consider Ruiz's safety, I also needed to consider my own safety, facing two gangs armed with guns.

People, there is no way I would give up my greatest advantage and put myself in danger."

At this time, Prosecutor Richard spoke: "How do you determine that the disappearance of the surveillance personnel was caused by someone from MS13?"

After Prosecutor Richard opened his mouth, Garrett stopped talking. Jimmy looked at Prosecutor Richard: "I received a call from Ruiz in the office. After arriving at the scene, Ruiz told me that he had arranged

He hired a monitoring team to monitor people in MS13, but about half an hour before he notified me, he could no longer contact the monitoring team.

The current neighborhood is within the sphere of influence of MS13. Those who have the ability to kidnap the surveillance team before the surveillance team has time to trigger the alarm can only be members of MS13. Even if people from other gangs have such abilities, they cannot do anything in their neighborhood.

Such a thing."

Richard: "What's your relationship with Ruiz?"

Jimmy: "In July, I was transferred to Ruiz's team as an intern. Then something happened. I was seconded to another location and left Ruiz's team."

Richard turned to look at Hughes, who nodded. Richard looked at Jimmy again: "Why didn't Ruiz find anyone else for such a dangerous meeting?"

Jimmy looked at Hughes: "Can you tell me?" Hughes nodded, and Jimmy looked at Richard again: "I was involved in a case followed by Ruiz before, and I killed several Dixie families in the South.

Maybe Ruiz knows that I am better at fighting, so he called me to come over and support him."

After Jimmy finished speaking, Hughes added: "Richard, regarding Jimmy's ability, I can talk to you alone later, without having to think about this issue."

Richard nodded and ended his question.

Hughes: "Jimmy, you wait outside. Leave the gun on the table."

Jimmy nodded and left. Ryan left the conference table, walked to where Jimmy was, and handed the two guns to Hughes.

Hughes: "You have already seen the video of the previous case, and Ryan also explained the video. These two guns were the ones he used at the scene. Jerry, check it out."

Hughes handed the gun to the man in camouflage clothing who had been silent next to him. He took the gun, took out the bullets first, and then inspected the two guns. "No problem, they are all original goods, not modified, and the bullets are normal."

of.

This revolver has fired at least 2,000-2,500 bullets based on the wear and tear of the rifling, and the rifling has been severely worn. It seems that this is his common gun."

Hughes: "Do you have any other questions?"

Garrett: "I suggest that he undergo a psychological evaluation. Judging from the conversation just now, he doesn't seem to have any abnormal feelings. Do you feel it?"

Hughes: "I will arrange it. Do you have any other questions?" Hughes looked at the others, but no one said anything. "Then the inquiry is over."

Hughes walked out of the conference room with Jimmy's gun, found Jimmy in the corridor and handed it back to him, "Go back and wait for the news."

Jimmy nodded, put away the gun, went downstairs and left the office. The interview was over. Jimmy just happened to take a taxi to the hospital to see Ruiz. He hadn't gone to see him after the shootout, mainly to avoid suspicion and avoid being exposed.

Said they colluded in confession.

After buying a bouquet of flowers at a flower shop near the hospital, Jimmy arrived at the hospital empty-handed. Ruiz was only shot once and was sent to the hospital for treatment in time. In fact, it was not a big deal. At least it was much better than those people shot by Jimmy.

.

After chatting for a while, Jimmy got up and left, leaving Ruiz to continue to rest. He was shot and had to rest for a while.

(This chapter is mainly about the simplified version of the explanation of Mozambique shooting that I used in the previous chapter, which just mixed the number of words. I didn’t plan to write the inquiry at the beginning. This paragraph is too boring. In fact, even those inquiry scenes in movies and TV series

Usually it is completed in a few sentences, and the result is given directly, so I will try to avoid these links in the future.)
