North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 362 Case Investigation

Jimmy was a little dizzy after reading the information. The shadow of the Zodiac Killer case was always lingering in his mind. When he looked at other cases, he would unconsciously think of this case. Although his mind was confused, he would always do the case in his hands.

The key now is that he is alone and really needs some help. He came to Hughes' office again, this time to apply for the support of intelligence personnel.

Jimmy told Hughes about the current situation and that he urgently needed the help of intelligence analysts to investigate the traffic videos before and after the taxi incident, etc. He himself could investigate the interpersonal relationships of the deceased, so if Hughes did not help, this case might be

It was delayed for a long time.

Hughes did not shirk, and it could still be done by temporarily transferring two people. Nick, an old intelligence officer, came to Jimmy's office with a trainee intelligence officer.

Jimmy: "Welcome, Nick, and thanks for coming."

Nick: "You're welcome, the last bomb case opened our eyes. Jimmy, you did a good job. An accident can lead to a big case."

Jimmy laughed and said: "It's just luck. Okay, Nick, I need your help to investigate the surveillance videos this time. These are the files of the four cases. Take a look at them first."

Jimmy handed the file on the table to Nick, who opened his laptop on the empty table, and then started looking at the file with the trainee agent.

Nick: "Jimmy, are you going to investigate the videos of the intersections before and after these cases?"

Jimmy: "Well, because the murderers in the next three cases may have used pistols with silencers, no one heard the gunshots during the NYPD's surrounding investigation, and no suspicious people were seen, so we need the video of the investigation

It may be a bit much. We need to follow up on the whereabouts of the taxi to determine the time the murderer got on the bus, and then investigate from nearby areas."

Nick nodded: "I understand, this workload is not small, let's get started."

I hung up the phone with a razor. Damn, that was so disrespectful.

"Hahaha, I have only been a county police officer for 2 years. Sheriff James has been very good to me. Thinking about being away for so long, I really miss them."

Intelligence analyst Nick has investigated the vehicle driving records of the four deceased people before their deaths, and the corresponding nodes and intersections have been marked. Jimmy contacted the NYPD and asked their patrol officers to assist in going to various locations to investigate whether there were relevant streets.

Is there any surveillance on the side, or does anyone have any impressions of the taxi and the passengers at that time?

Jimmy looked at the razor leaving. This man was really smart. If he was not a gangster, he might be able to succeed in other industries. He has a clear mind and strong judgment. Being able to be a boss shows that he also has strong organizational skills.

Of course, it must be very dark to start with.

Since Nia is interested, Jimmy doesn't mind. He might as well find a chance to go to the police training ground later. In fact, Jimmy has not done much in the past year except for PITing one person and being PITed by subsequent police officers.

After passing the car, his hands were a little itchy.

Ever since he read the files on the Zodiac Killer case, Jimmy has had a very strong sense of urgency. He doesn't want his name to be associated with the current case and become a supporting actor in unsolved cases for decades to come. Even if this case really cannot be solved

, I have to work hard, even if the final result is really not good, at least I have a clear conscience.

Jimmy nodded. The last time he caught the murderer of the corpse dismemberment case, it was Shazhao who gave him the information. Of course, last time it was more about Ruiz's face.

Nia looked at the whiteboard on the wall of the study room, which showed the results of Jimmy's investigation during this period. Of course, there was no special conclusion. "Jimmy, how is the case?" Nia is not the kind of silly elder sister who is obsessed with love.

Although he has a good background, he still has real skills to be a detective in the police station. Otherwise, it would be easier to get promoted by taking other management positions. He is also somewhat concerned about this case that originally belonged to him and Chuck.

Razor frowned: "My people? Who?"

Jimmy blinked and was stunned for a while. "Why are we talking about this suddenly? Oh, it's not a conflict, but I am only one person. Wherever I am, my home is there."

Jimmy: "Little Rock, Arkansas. I used to be a police officer there."

Jimmy: "FBI, Razor, are you in the store?"

Nia's eyes widened. Jimmy was the FBI. The police did not have his information and could not find it.

Having someone to help can really save Jimmy a lot of time. Jimmy likes the Counter-Terrorism Bureau's command center more and more. It concentrates all intelligence investigation capabilities and then arranges field personnel to conduct on-site investigations. This really saves resources and is very convenient. Unfortunately, the FBI

There is no such place in the office unless you go to the headquarters.

Jimmy thanked Nick, then packed up and went out.

After waiting for a while, Jimmy spoke first, although this was a bit of a sign of weakness. "In the past month, four taxi drivers have been murdered. Razor, what we want is stability. Anyone who breaks the rules is our enemy. Of course,

He may also be your enemy."

"Whoa", the observation hole was closed, and the person at the door quickly ran inside. Jimmy put away his badge and waited for the people inside to come back and open the door. Gangsters are not fools. In the movie, just any janitor can't close the door.

Dealing with the police situation is more to highlight the conflict in the plot. In fact, except for those who are confused, most people will ask for instructions, not to mention that the people outside are not the police, but the FBI.

It is impossible to be friends with such a person, but if he can remain so sober, as Jimmy's potential informant, Jimmy would not mind communicating with Ruiz to make his life more comfortable.

Razor did not take the note, but looked at Jimmy: "I have already helped you once."

The two were chatting while eating, and Nia suddenly turned the topic to Jimmy's family. "Jimmy, I haven't heard you talk about your family for so long. Do you have any conflicts with your family?"

Speaking of which, although the semi-finished product had been prepared in advance, Jimmy still spent a lot of time to deal with the follow-up and placed it on the dining table. Jimmy took a bottle of red wine from the wine rack and the two of them sat across from each other.

This investigation requires a lot of manpower and time. Jimmy can't rely on Chuck's relationship to promote it, so he first found an acquaintance who had worked with the NYPD before, and through her he contacted the superintendent in charge of the patrol. After some communication, he also

I used Hughes as a weight to increase my own weight, and then I got it done. Of course, this was without Hughes knowing about it. I hope the NYPD superintendent will not be cautious and confront Hughes.

Confront it.

Nia: "Sorry, I didn't know that was the case."

Jimmy called Nia and originally wanted to ask her to meet on the weekend. But Nia actually had a day off today, so he made an appointment to have dinner at his house that night and he would cook.

After everything was arranged, Jimmy could finally breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of case with no clues was really torturous. The New York Taxi Drivers Association had already accepted several interviews. In the past year, there were more than a dozen cases of taxi drivers.

There are a little more than one murder case a month on average. Recently

Already 4, the ratio is seriously exceeded, and they are under great pressure. Taxi drivers in New York are now in a state of panic, especially after the death of the driver was broadcast on the news. Now the number of taxis after midnight is

It has dropped a lot, and some citizens are already complaining.

Jimmy: "As long as you like it." This shameless guy just took it as his own craftsmanship and didn't mention buying it outside at all.

Jimmy took out half a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Razor. This is Diego's information in the system. "Help check, he is also from your Latin King. If he is not your person, go find it."

See whose it is and who killed him."

Jimmy said goodbye and left. Jimmy definitely didn't believe her words. For gangsters, it is very difficult for members to break away, especially since Diego was still a formal member of the gang before and was not a low-level gangster. Dealing with Diego like this

There are many possible people, such as gang enemies, his former enemies, or impromptu robberies.

Speaking of their common profession, the two chatted about some interesting stories about Jimmy's past, and Jimmy strongly complained about the NYPD's car chasing behavior. As a member of the Arkansas police, Jimmy strongly despised this plan to compete on the size of car fuel tanks. It is still a stupid state.

Relatively good, clean and fast.

The FBI also has informant fees, but Jimmy is currently not qualified to expand informants, but Ruiz has enough authority. With the relationship between Jimmy and Ruiz, he can take care of a person without violating the principle. The problem

It shouldn't be big.

In the evening, Jimmy opened the door and welcomed Nia in. "Nia!" Jimmy stretched out his arms and hugged Nia. The two kissed each other at the door. After hugging and kissing, Jimmy took Nia to visit his home.

Jimmy almost didn't react. Didn't the previous video have a follow-up and his photos were released? No, he was talking about the second video, "You know."

Razor was silent for a few seconds, "Was it you who was in the video shown on the TV station last time?"

Jimmy hung up the phone, put on sunglasses and went outside the underground casino to knock on the door. Someone came over and opened an observation hole and looked outside. Jimmy directly put the FBI badge on the observation hole and said, "I'm here to find Razor. Open the door."

Soon, the door opened, but he didn't let Jimmy in: "He's not here, please come back another time."

Nia: "Police? You can't tell at all."

The two got out of the car, and Razor stood in front of Jimmy: "Why did you come to me?"

"Is this your first time?" Nia nodded lightly with a shy face, and Jimmy kissed her.

Jimmy and Nia came to the bedroom kissing, and with the movements of their hands, the two soon became honest with each other. Jimmy was not the first brother, but Nia's actions made him feel that something was wrong, but now was not the time to think about this.

.Soon he understood.

Razor shook his head: "I have no impression, he is not my person."

Jimmy is a religious believer on the surface, but Nia has no religious beliefs. Just to cooperate with Jimmy, the two held hands across the table and prayed before the meal.

Jimmy smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. Birth, old age, illness and death are things that no one can escape. They are all in the past."

Jimmy left work early and had already called a restaurant next to the apartment. He went there often and was very familiar with it. The steak Wellington they served there was very good. Of course, Jimmy chose to have them help make the semi-finished products and then take them back to the oven himself.

.By the way, I packed the appetizers of roasted kelp, roasted pumpkin, and a portioned vegetable salad.

"It tastes good. I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good." Nia took a bite of the appetizer, praised Jimmy, then picked up the red wine and took a sip.

Not getting any clues from his home, Jimmy looked at the time and came to Razor's underground casino again. This time he called Razor directly. After a few rings, Razor answered the phone.

Jimmy: "You'll be rewarded."

Razor didn't speak, and Jimmy stopped speaking. The two were about the same height and looked at each other's faces. There was a bit of a stalemate at the scene.

Jimmy shook his head, "There are no special clues. All the existing clues have been arranged for someone to deal with. I'm still thinking about the future direction of the investigation. Okay, let's not talk about this." Jimmy and Nia returned to the living room.

After the coffee prepared in advance was poured, Jimmy asked Nia to wait in the living room, and then returned to the kitchen.

Jimmy: "Thank you. I still need to investigate the situation of the deceased. If you have any information, please call me directly."

Jimmy didn't know what was going on with Razor, but half an hour later, he managed to see Razor. Razor drove to Jimmy's car, waved, and the two drove to a green space on the street.

Early the next morning, Jimmy woke up and looked at Nia next to him, kissed her on the cheek, then got out of bed, got dressed, went to clean up, and then made breakfast.

There were also macarons and puffs from the nearby dessert shop, which Nia liked to eat, but of course they were not bought from her favorite shop. Jimmy ordered an orange milkshake for himself.

Jimmy first went to Diego Lopez's home. Diego only had an unmarried girlfriend living with him. Here, he did not find any clues. According to Diego's girlfriend, Diego has been very honest in the past two years.

He drives a taxi and no longer associates with the people he used to. He has completely changed. Diego didn't have any special enemies before, and I haven't heard of him having any disputes with anyone recently. As for who will kill Diego,

She has absolutely no clue.

The two of them drank wine and finished the meal, hugging each other and sitting on the sofa watching boring TV series. Jimmy's hands no longer obeyed his head. Nia gave up after a little resistance and did not refuse. Slowly,

They disappeared from the living room.

Razor reached out and took the note from Jimmy's hand, "As I said before, for peace and friendship."

"I went back last year and everything was fine. I was different from you back then. I was a patrol officer, and I mostly patrolled the roads."

After several days of investigation, Jimmy still had no clear clues. In the end, he had to ask Chuck to contact the New York Taxi Drivers Association to see if they had received any clues recently. Jimmy himself was unwilling to come forward.

, he doesn’t want people to point fingers at him just yet.

Jimmy returned to the bureau, and now it was time to investigate the first three people. Unfortunately, those three people were all standard wage earners, and there were no clear enemies in terms of identity and relationship. Jimmy spent some time visiting the families of the three people.

, expressed comfort and condolences to them, and then began to ask about their situation, as well as friends and people with disputes.

Nia: "So where are you from?"

"Then you didn't go back to see them?"

Nia is very interested, because when she attended the police academy training, there was no PIT training at all, and the NYPD rarely had opportunities for high-speed car chases. Due to the traffic conditions in New York, the high speeds here are actually normal.

It's just highway speed, and it doesn't have the thrill of a smooth car chase like in the vast and sparsely populated South.

Jimmy: "Your people were killed, I want to know what happened?"

Jimmy: "Call him and ask him to come over." After saying that, Jimmy turned around and returned to the car on the side of the road.

Razor: "Who are you?"

After visiting some friends of the deceased, Jimmy finally gave up on this effort. It is obvious that although it is not certain that among these four cases, at least some of them were random killings or robbery and killings, and there was no special targeting. Even

It cannot be ruled out that the fourth case was also a random killing, but because of Diego's own role, there were more reasons why he was killed than the others.

Razor stretched out his hand to shake Jimmy's hand, then turned back to his car and drove away quickly.

Jimmy: "Diego Lopez, a taxi driver."

Nia was of course already awake, but she did not get up. Instead, she smiled and watched from behind as Jimmy packed up and left the bedroom.

After a while, Nia changed her clothes, washed up and came to the living room. Jimmy had spare towels and toiletries at home, otherwise the morning would be embarrassing.

"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon." Jimmy fried eggs and bacon while frying French fries. After they were ready, he put them on a plate and brought them to the table. He took out the milk from the refrigerator and poured two glasses. Then he told Nia

Take a seat.

Jimmy drove Nia home. In the car, Nia had already asked for leave from Chuck, so she would have a rest at home today. After lying on the car window and saying goodbye to Jimmy, Nia went upstairs, and Jimmy drove to the station to continue.

Work.
