North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 347 No coincidence

Gordon's contact with the headquarters was not in the conference room. Instead, he left the conference room with his cell phone and went to find a quiet place. Jimmy was not familiar with the people at the FBI headquarters at all, and did not know who the person Gordon wanted to contact was.

Who is from which department? However, the resources of the headquarters are definitely better than those of the Manhattan office, and the person who can contact Gordon for help is definitely no worse than Gordon.

Apart from anything else, Gordon and his group of four are really capable. Their analysis, investigation and interrogation of clues are beyond those of Jimmy and Chris. Although saying this is a bit demeaning, it is the fact.

The four-person team that allowed the headquarters to arrange a special helicopter transport was definitely someone the headquarters trusted.

Scott and the others didn't pay attention to Gordon's call and were still analyzing the existing clues, while Jimmy could only sit in his chair and turn around to look at the whiteboard.

Gordon came back ten minutes later. It seemed that his contact was not going well, and his face looked a little unsightly.

Gordon: "Okay, everyone, go to bed early today. We will leave here tomorrow morning with all the information and evidence."

Scott: "Gordon, what's going on? Why did you leave?"

Gordon: "The conditions here are not enough. Tomorrow we will move to the New York branch of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, which is already connected to the NSA. This time we have been authorized to submit information directly there, and the three departments will cooperate to complete the case processing."

Scott nodded. It was obvious that Scott from Gordon's team was most familiar with Gordon, and of course he might be Gordon's successor, so he was the one doing the communication most of the time.

When Jimmy heard about the New York branch of the Counter-Terrorism Agency, everyone was numb. Damn it, no, Tom made it clear that he was not allowed to touch that poor place.

Jimmy: "Gordon, do I need to come over?"

Gordon looked at Jimmy: "Of course, Chris has arranged for you to handle this case on his behalf."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll go back first. See you tomorrow."

Gordon nodded, Jimmy got up and left the conference room, returned to his office, tidied up, and went straight to get off work. Anyway, no one cares about him now. Chris disappeared very strangely, without giving any reason, just following Ge I met him once, but never appeared again.

Jimmy thought for a while and decided to call him, but not in the office, but on the way home.

Chris did not explain the reason, but just told him that he had to leave New York temporarily for something and it was expected to take 1-2 weeks. He would arrange and handle the matters during the period, and Hughes agreed.

Jimmy sighed helplessly. Chris had always felt mysterious to him since he last dealt with Vince's matter. He had no idea what he was doing. Hughes didn't care about him and let him become a regular employee.

Don’t you think it’s a bit excessive for someone who has taken over a group in just a few months?

After hanging up Chris's phone, Jimmy dialed Tom's last number again. Unsurprisingly, the phone was turned off. It seemed that things on his side hadn't been settled yet, and he hadn't contacted him for a long time.

This time when he was going to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, Jimmy was most worried about Noah Watson. When Tom mentioned this person, his fear was definitely not fake. He reminded Jimmy many times not to get close to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau and the training ground. This time because of a

The case must go.

Jimmy returned home and was not in a hurry to cook. He first dug out the CIA ID card from the specially carved indentation on the bookshelf. He hadn't looked at it for a long time and couldn't remember the information clearly. This time he went to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau.

If something unexpected happens, at least his ID needs to be remembered, otherwise there will be big problems. There are also CIA files hidden in the mezzanine that need to be taken another look.

After reading the information, Jimmy put them away again. These things were not placed in the safe. The safety of the safe is actually very questionable, especially this kind of home safe. Among other things, the FBI has professionals

It can be opened by personnel. During the training at the academy, it was specifically pointed out that if there is a search warrant and the evidence to be searched can be placed in the safe, if the owner does not cooperate, you can apply for technical support and have professionals open it.

.

Of course, you must prepare a camera to capture the contents of the safe in advance to avoid disputes. This is all based on experience. Many people have fallen into this problem before, resulting in complaints or invalid evidence.

Therefore, the things Jimmy puts in the safe are all things that can be seen by others, or things that are not so illegal, and other things are hidden elsewhere.

Jimmy was in a very bad mood. After dinner, he checked the time and went to the bar next to him for a drink.

The next day, Jimmy packed up his mood and came to the bureau. Gordon and the others had almost packed up the materials in the conference room. Although it was never determined where they lived, there was no doubt that their passion for handling the case was far greater than that of

Jimmy, you can see it by arriving at the office early every morning.

Jimmy also came in to help pack up. After putting all the information into a truck, Jimmy drove the truck they drove to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. This address was very familiar to Jimmy. He had never been here once, not even to take a look from a distance.

None.

When they arrived outside the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, Gordon replaced Jimmy who was leading the way and led them into the Counter-Terrorism Bureau first. Then the staff of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau helped carry all the information in the truck to a large conference room.

Jimmy's car and the truck were also driven away by the staff and parked in the underground parking lot. It seems that they will be on a long-term mission here.

Gordon and the other five began to place all the materials in the conference room. Two people came in from the outside, a tall and thin old white man with gray hair who looked to be in his 50s. He wore glasses and many wrinkles could be seen on his face.

His face was expressionless, and behind him was a stout middle-aged man who looked more like a field agent.

Noah Watson: "I am Noah Watson, director of the Counterterrorism Bureau. Which of you is in charge?"

Gordon stepped forward and shook hands with Noah, "Gordon Glenn, head of the FBI's counterterrorism unit, this is Scott, Joey, Harry, and this is Agent Jimmy Young from the Manhattan office."

Noah Watson nodded, and he turned to look at the person next to him: "Kerry, ask our people to come over and listen to the case."

Kerry nodded, turned and left the conference room. Noah sat down, and Gordon and the others continued to lay out all the materials. The video materials were also placed next to them, ready to play the content at any time.

Jimmy turned to Noah Watson to pack things. Although he didn't stare at him, it still made people feel very stressed. Noah Watson really looked like what Tom said, he looked very dangerous, cold-blooded and calm.

His eyes were sharp. Although he wore rimless glasses and looked much more polite, his preconceived impression made Jimmy feel like he was sitting with a venomous snake staring at food.

A few minutes later, people from the Counter-Terrorism Bureau came in, and soon the conference room was almost full.

Noah: "Agent Gordon, let's get started."

Gordon looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, please introduce me."

Jimmy has introduced the case to many people several times. Although he is still a little scared when facing Noah Watson, now is not the time to think about this. Jimmy still explains the case from accidents to questions, from the girlfriend of the deceased Ax

The situation of getting the notepad was described, and then came the projection. The three pages written in the notepad were projected on the screen. The enlarged page content could be seen by everyone in the conference room.

Regarding the content recorded in the file, Jimmy's speculation at the time and the subsequent monitoring team's monitoring of Ginny were all explained, and then paused to see if others had any questions.

Noah signaled to continue, and Jimmy continued to talk about their follow-up investigation, from the vehicle information investigated in the parking lot to the captured driver Abdul, the discovery of the bomb under his car, and then to the journalist Ax’s information obtained from the NSA.

After using cell phone records and tracking down the video of Ax meeting people, all the clues that have been discovered so far have been described. Jimmy retreated and waited for the Counter-Terrorism Bureau to digest the case.

Noah Watson looked at the people next to him. Everyone seemed to have no doubts about the clues that the FBI had so far. No one raised any questions about Jimmy's description.

Noah could only ask himself: "Has the identity of the person who met Ax been confirmed now?"

Jimmy: "No, we determined that the person entered the parking lot based on the surveillance of the store next to the cafe. However, because the parking lot surveillance has long been damaged, there is no surveillance to determine which car the person got into, so we did not investigate the parking lot further.

The situation at the venue. Because more than a week has passed, no one can remember clearly.

But we have an anonymous mobile phone number, which is the mobile phone number that reporter Ax contacted him. At present, the investigation of this mobile phone has not been continued, which is also our next plan."

Noah: “Where’s that Abdul you guys captured?”

Gordon took over: "Now temporarily detained in the detention room of the Manhattan office, we obtained two laptops and a broken recorder from the warehouse where Abdul lived. One of the laptops and the broken recorder

It should belong to reporter Ax, but the laptop has not been cracked yet."

Noah: "OK, these are the two clue investigations we are going to conduct now. Kerry, bring someone to bring Abdul here. Fannie, bring the laptop to unlock it, and let the technicians look at the recorder.

Can it be restored? Others, go to the command center and investigate the person who met reporter Ax, starting with the signal record of the unnamed mobile phone number. Let’s start.”

People from the Counter-Terrorism Bureau stood up one after another, Noah Watson left the conference room, Kerry also left with others, and Gordon asked Joey to accompany him to the FBI Manhattan office.

A woman in her 30s came over and took away two laptops and the broken voice recorder. Another man brought in a large box from outside. He said to Gordon, "Agent Gordon, we need to

All these are imported into the system for easy query by the command center."

Gordon nodded, including written records, videos, and various reports, all scanned and transcribed using equipment in large boxes. From this, we can see how professional the Counter-Terrorism Bureau is. You must know that after Gordon came to Manhattan

, all the information is always viewed in the conference room, which is basically paper information and physical video tapes. There is no such highly integrated command center in the FBI office, and each team works independently.

But Jimmy always felt that the box this man was carrying looked familiar. Speaking of which, when Tom applied for Jimmy's identity three years ago, he also brought this kind of box. It also contained a bunch of equipment, but the functions were not the same as the current man's box.

Same.

Is this box still the standard equipment of the CIA? Adjust the equipment inside according to your needs? Tom's level was not low at the time. It can be seen from the fact that there are dedicated personnel from the Counter-Terrorism Bureau using this box. This absolutely professional equipment is not something ordinary people can handle.

, Tom is skilled in operation, and it can be seen that he must have done it more than once or twice in the CIA back then. Maybe he also played the role of the little brother in front of him before.

Noah Watson left the conference room, which made Jimmy feel a lot more relaxed. He also had time to look around the conference room. However, if he didn't look, he wouldn't know that there was a hidden surveillance camera in the corner of the roof of the conference room. Looking at the ceiling, he couldn't see it at all.

No cameras were found. It seems that they are very distrustful of outsiders and even monitor the conference rooms within their own bureau.

Jimmy: "Gordon, can we go to their command center? I want to see the status of their investigation."

Gordon was also tricked by Noah. Although it was said that it was a three-agency collaboration, Noah's approach was that the Counter-Terrorism Bureau took over the case. Their FBI has now become an absolute supporting role. When Jimmy said this, he thought for a moment

Said: "I'm going to talk to Noah, you guys wait here first."

Gordon got up and left the conference room. After stopping someone outside to ask, he walked to Noah's office.

Jimmy said this on purpose. He just looked around at the surrounding environment. This conference room is surrounded by normal office areas, and the place where people gather is on the floor above them. It can be seen that there are three rows of tables in a hall, many

People are lined up here, and because of the angle, many things cannot be seen clearly, but it is very likely that that is the command center that Noah mentioned.

Now that he has arrived at the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, it is not a problem to hide in the conference room all the time. Gordon looked wrong just now, so Jimmy wanted to see if he could come forward. It has not been a day or two since the FBI and CIA did not deal with it. If

It is not the Counter-Terrorism Bureau created by the CIA, and it has a good relationship with the NSA. Maybe the headquarters will not let them come to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau at all, but directly contact the NSA in the Manhattan office.

Gordon came back with an ugly expression. He looked at several people and finally turned to Jimmy: "Jimmy, come with me to the command center. Scott, you continue to sort out the materials here and wait for Joey to come back."

When Scott heard Gordon's arrangement, his face didn't look good, but he still said: "Okay." and watched Jimmy get up and leave the conference room with Gordon.

"Nice." Jimmy felt secretly happy. He was indeed one of his own. Gordon was obviously much more reliable than Noah, and he was also a better person. Obviously, Noah refused everyone's request to go to the command center, but Gordon still decided to take him with him.

Going in alone, he did not choose Scott, who had the best relationship, but Jimmy. It was obvious that Gordon respected the Manhattan office and did not let the only representative of the Manhattan office be left out in the cold because of his personal relationship.

Coming upstairs, Gordon and Jimmy entered the command center. It was indeed the hall that Jimmy had just observed. There were several monitors in front of everyone here, and on the wall in front of them, there was a very large monitor array.

The room-copied information is already displayed on the big screen.

Noah folded his hands on his chest and looked at the other people's investigations.

"The anonymous phone has been turned off, last seen in Brooklyn." an employee shouted directly.

Noah: "Investigate the mobile phone's movement route and locate the last location."

"On 5th Street in Brooklyn, near Miller Middle School, there are no cameras available nearby."

Noah: "Continue to investigate, determine the traces of previous movements, and use traffic cameras to locate the recurring person. At the same time, retrieve the signal trajectory when he met the reporter to determine whether there is a recurring person."

"It takes a long time, there are too many people within signal coverage."

Noah: "Track the latest records first, leave the meeting records to others, and you can make your own arrangements."

After Noah finished speaking, he turned around and left the command center. There will be no special results here for a while. There is no need to spend time here.

Jimmy watched Noah's conversation with the staff and had to say that he was really envious. They really had a lot of resources. You have to know that he still needs to go to the NYPD dispatch center to view the traffic camera footage, but the Counter-Terrorism Bureau actually

It is a direct real-time call, and there are previous records. It seems that it is not a temporary call, but the surveillance video has been synchronized with the dispatch center.
