North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 341 Ask for help

Jimmy closed the notepad and put it in the glove box. This thing was too important. He wanted to go back to the office but was worried about Ginny still in the room. He thought for a while, picked up the phone and called Chris.

Jimmy: "Chris, if there's nothing urgent, come to Brooklyn. I've discovered something here."

Chris: "Hmm? Is it serious? Can't we come back and talk about it?"

Jimmy: "No, I can't leave here right now. It's not convenient to tell you on the phone, so you might as well come over. If it's not convenient, see who else can send you here."

Chris was speechless. He drove to work in the morning, but he couldn't use his left hand temporarily. "I understand, I'm leaving now."

Jimmy hung up the phone, took off his suit and put it in the passenger seat. He also took out the FBI badge in advance and hung it around his neck. With the armpit holster and the Glock holster on his belt, there was basically no problem except for the body armor.

After being vigilant for half an hour, Chris' car came up behind Jimmy and stopped. Chris walked directly to Jimmy's passenger side, opened the door and got in, "What did you find?"

"The notepad in the glove box." Jimmy looked at the glove box, and then looked at the entrance to the apartment. At this time, several people came in and out of the apartment, but it seemed that there should be nothing wrong.

People's movements are somewhat out of shape, and these people all look normal, although there are two who don't look like good people.

Jimmy: "I used the reason that reporter Ax was my informant, and asked someone in Ax's room to open the door. The person inside was Ax's girlfriend Ginny, and she showed me this notepad.

It's the only record Ax left at home. He usually puts his laptop, voice recorder, and notepad in his bag when he goes out, but Ginny doesn't know much about Ax's business."

Chris: "Laptop? Voice recorder? These were not at the scene of the Ax accident."

Jimmy: "Yes, so this case is very problematic. I'm very worried that Ginny will be in danger in Ax's house."

Chris nodded: "That's very thoughtful. What else have you discovered?"

Jimmy: "There is something wrong with the content recorded in the notepad. It seems that Ax was interviewing someone. What was recorded in the notepad were short sentences and key points. The materials and equipment recorded in it gave me a bad feeling.

Lenovo. You should be able to think of other uses for fertilizers and equipment, right?"

Chris: "Well, fertilizer can be used for purification, equipment can produce hydrogen, plus radio, remote control equipment is also available, a giant bomb of several hundred kilograms."

Jimmy: "This is just a superficial problem. The key is that set of equipment. I remember that during the previous training in Quantico, it was mentioned in the anti-terrorism training that this equipment can also be used to purify certain special gases."

Chris: "You mean X?"

Jimmy: "Yes, this part of the compression device will be used in the V and G extraction process. If you think about it, not all the things on this notepad will be in trouble. Of course, this is just my conjecture.

And it is associated with the worst possible direction.

I don’t rule out that they buy these things for their own use, such as hundreds of kilograms of fertilizer to open a gardening company, these equipment are only used to produce hydrogen balloons, and those circuit boards and wireless equipment are just short-distance communication facilities within the company.”

Chris took a deep breath and threw the notepad in his right hand onto the center console. "Fxxk, is there something wrong with these people's brains? Whether it's a fertilizer bomb or a poison gas bomb, they can't explode in New York."

Jimmy: "What I'm worried about now is that if Ax just discovers something and then goes to investigate, it means that these things have been successfully transported, and even the production work has begun.

Of course, we can also guess that Ax itself is a member of the team, and they are just planning to get these devices. In this case, we still have enough time to find them."

Chris said nothing and looked at the notepad in a daze. Jimmy did not interrupt his thinking. Jimmy himself was shocked when he thought about the result. It is normal for Chris to be a little confused.

Chris took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Hughes directly.

"Hughes, I'm applying for two long-term monitoring teams."

"Yes, we need it now, one deployed in Brooklyn and one on standby for rotation."

"Well, I'll go back and tell you that things are a little troublesome this time."

Chris hung up the phone and said to Jimmy: "The surveillance team will come over later. You explain their tasks and then go back to the bureau. I will take this back first to communicate with Hughes."

Jimmy nodded, Chris opened the door and went back to his car, turning around and going back on the road.

Jimmy waited for nearly an hour before a call came to his mobile phone. He looked back and saw a truck parked not far behind. Jimmy got his clothes and got out of the car, put them on, looked around, and then left.

Go over. The trunk door opens and Jimmy goes in. Sure enough, it's still the same old recipe, a surveillance car similar to Jones.

Jimmy: "Who's in charge here?"

Daniel: "I, Daniel Hahn."

Jimmy: "OK, let me tell you about the situation. What you need to monitor is room 203 of the apartment on the front left. The tenant in the room is Ash Perino. He died in an accident two days ago. Now he is in the room.

Girlfriend Ginny.

Focus on two things. First, whether someone wants to enter her room and it will be detrimental to her; second, if Ginny leaves, you need to follow her to confirm whether she has been in contact with anyone and investigate the other person's situation.

On the basis of the above two points, you can add another item, investigating Ginny's situation, her social circle, etc. Because this is the first time I have met this Ginny, I don't have any basic information about her yet.

If you have information, you can notify me. Do you understand?"

Daniel: "OK, I want to ask, is there anything special happening here? Are there any militants?"

Jimmy: "The definition of the incident has not yet been determined. The lowest level is murder, and the highest level may be a terrorist attack. Do we need to prepare support forces in advance?"

Daniel was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked around at his two companions. He looked at Jimmy: "I think it's best to have support. The three of us are intelligence personnel, not field agents."

Jimmy nodded: "I understand, but I need to go back to the bureau now. If I am free later, I will support you. If not, I will apply for others to support you. Please prepare self-defense weapons in advance."

Daniel nodded heavily: "I understand, let's start now. Brothers, open your weapon bag and get ready."

Jimmy: "Goodbye, Daniel."

Jimmy turned around and left the surveillance car, looked around, then got in his car and turned around to go back to the station.

Jimmy did not go back to his office, but came directly to Hughes. He received a call from Hughes halfway. Although Chris had already made it clear, Hughes asked Jimmy to explain it in detail again and made a phone call.

I turned on the loudspeaker and waited for Jimmy to make his statement.

Jimmy spoke in great detail this time, starting from when he and Chris went to the NYPD to discover possible anomalies in the case, to coming back to check the data, to meeting Ginny, and even the final communication with the surveillance personnel.

After a while, he asked Hughes to assign a support team to Daniel and the others. If it was really a big fish this time, the three monitoring personnel would have no way to ensure their own safety when something went wrong.

Hughes waited for Jimmy to finish speaking and then said to the phone: "Did you hear that clearly?"

A man's voice on the other side of the phone: "It's clear, this information is not enough at the moment, Hughes, this is not enough to activate the emergency plan, we need more clues."

Hughes: "That's all we have now. We still need to go to the NYPD to retrieve all the cases and related information before we can continue to check."

"Notify me when there is further news. I have reserved a support team here for you. If there is news, they will rush to New York immediately. That's it."

The phone was hung up. Hughes pressed the phone and said to Chris: "Chris, go get the case back. Who else do you need? I'll ask them to come back and help you now."

Chris: "No need at the moment. When we get the case back, we will check the existing clues first. But the NYPD needs you to say hello in advance."

Hughes nodded, and Chris looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, you go back first."

Jimmy nodded, turned and left.

Chris: "Hughes, this case will not be solved so quickly. I think if we only rely on us, it will be difficult to guarantee the time limit. You know, if the worst case scenario occurs, you can't even imagine it."

Hughes looked at Chris: "No, I have no way to contact them. I can only go through DC, otherwise I won't get their support."

Chris: "You have to give it a try. Even if there is only one percent chance of this happening, it must be treated as a major threat."

Hughes thought for a while and nodded, "I'll try to contact you. You go handle the case first."

Chris nodded and left. He did not go back to the office. Instead, he went directly to the NYPD to retrieve the case and information. Normally, the NYPD would send them to the FBI, but now he couldn't wait that long, so it would be faster to get them himself.

.

Jimmy returned to the office. If Hughes arranged a support team, there would be no need for Jimmy to think about the surveillance side. He could just take a good rest. After looking at the time, Jimmy went downstairs and bought a hamburger and brought it back directly. It was noon.

I don't want to eat anything, so I can make do with it so that I can have the energy to deal with this case in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Chris came back, followed by several uniformed NYPD police officers. They pushed a few boxes, placed them in Chris' office, and then left.

Chris: "Jimmy, come over and sort it out together."

After opening the box, Jimmy and Chris took out the evidence inside. Fortunately, the office had enough space, so they placed the evidence directly on the ground. They were all packaged in sealed bags and were not afraid of getting dusty.

After taking the evidence, here is the file. In addition to the summary version they saw at the police station, there are also individual reports given by various agencies. It can be said to be very complete.

Chris became the hands-off shopkeeper this time. He threw all the files and files to Jimmy and asked him to handle them. Jimmy looked at Chris helplessly. Why did he become the hands-off shopkeeper again for such a major matter? He didn't know yet.

Reese has already communicated with Hughes about foreign aid. Although he is not certain that he will get it, it will at least save them both a lot of time.

Jimmy continued to look at the file and then checked Ax's belongings. Indeed, there was no laptop, voice recorder, or notepad that Ginny mentioned. Theoretically, he forgot a notebook at home, so he would definitely buy one outside first.

For temporary use, as a reporter, how could he not have paper and pen? When Jimmy was a policeman, he also kept a pad and pen with him.

It can be seen that the people who handled this case were very sophisticated and handled it very cleanly. There are no clues that lead to a clear direction.

Naturally, it was impossible to bring the broken car to the police station. All we have now are the photos in our hands.

Jimmy decided to start with the parking lot surveillance. The NYPD had sorted out dozens of photos and license plate numbers of cars entering and exiting the parking lot. Jimmy needed to enter them one by one into the system to investigate information, compare, and verify identities. This was a lot of work.

Jimmy looked at the thick stack of photos in his hand and felt a little pained. What he disliked most was this kind of repetitive operation, and it was still investigating dozens of license plates.

He still picked up the photo of Ax's car. Looking at the photo of the car in his hand, especially the dent on the rear bumper, Jimmy suddenly had an idea. Since he was knocked down, then whoever hit Ax's car, he

The car must also be damaged, or it may have a strong anti-collision bar, or it may be similar to the cart bar on the front of a police car. Prioritizing photos of cars that meet these conditions should be fruitful.

Picking up the photos compiled by the NYPD, Jimmy only selected the photos of the exit part, which contained large bumpers and deformed front faces. There were only 5 cars, so it was worry-free. Jimmy gave himself a thumbs up in his mind.

Then turn on the computer and start searching for these cars.

Fortunately, these five cars all had New York State license plates, which made the investigation much easier. Jimmy retrieved the owner information of the five cars and submitted it to Chris. The NYPD patrol officers were required to go to the corresponding car owners’ homes to investigate.

For this kind of matter, let Chris contact you, leave the analysis work to yourself, and the support behind you should always be strong.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Jimmy should go out and investigate one by one by himself. This is also the responsibility of the detective himself. However, this case is very troublesome and requires a lot of time, so it is best to let the police investigate it nearby, which can be done as quickly as possible.

Get relevant information.

With the patrol on-site investigation and taking photos, we can basically rule them out. In fact, Jimmy has already ruled out two of the cars. They have a lot of damage, and you can obviously see the headlights.

Damage, no matter how you look at it, this is not a car being pushed out of a parking lot, but an accident on the road.

There is another car that I pay special attention to, a station wagon with a large anti-armor bar in the front. Although it is not as big as the trolley bar of a police car, it looks very strong. If he were to hit and push Ax

Theoretically, the car will not leave too many marks on the anti-collision bar.

After dealing with the five vehicles with the highest priority for investigation, Jimmy continued to look at the car records at the entrance of the parking lot. Two of these five vehicles came in after Ax entered the parking lot, and they were the biggest suspects. And Jimmy

The station wagon that I paid special attention to before happened to be among them.

However, the pixels of the surveillance were too low, and it was impossible to see the driver clearly. This was very frustrating, and it was impossible to investigate directly.

While he was flipping through it, Chris' phone rang. After he answered the phone, he said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, the NSA has agreed. You bring the dossier and Ax's mobile phone, and we will go out."

Jimmy immediately turned to look at Chris: "NSA? Are you talking about the NSA?"

Chris nodded, "Let's go, don't say anything, don't ask anything."

Jimmy immediately put away the file, picked up Ax's cell phone on the ground, followed Chris out of the office, and walked to a special place not far from Federal Plaza, the most special building in New York, a building without a single window.
