North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 377 A powerful informant

Jimmy returned to the bureau. The informant Seventeen given by Ruiz has not called Jimmy yet. From the current point of view, there should be no results. There is no rush. After all, he is an informant, and protecting himself is the most important thing.

The taxi case has been put on hold for the time being. There is still an explosion case to deal with. The laboratory report has been given, but Jimmy didn't read it carefully when he came over in the morning. At that time, he was only thinking about the serial murder case, which was not interesting.

of.

After getting the report, the composition of the explosives was determined. Ammonium nitrate explosives accounted for the main proportion, with a small amount of C4 residue, which was consistent with the composition of the explosives described by the crew's blaster Bill Lawrence, so there was nothing special.

Jimmy contacted the NYPD and went to the detention center to talk to Bill Lawrence. There were channels and vouchers for purchasing explosives, but they were all in Los Angeles.

Jimmy returned to the bureau and contacted the Los Angeles FBI office. They helped to verify and make sure that all the information matched. They finally decided to close the case accidentally. As for how long Bill would be sentenced, that was not Jimmy's business.

Jimmy wrote a closing report and submitted it to Hughes for review. After confirming that there was no problem, he directly contacted the prosecutor's office to submit the report. The rest was for them to run the process.

The crew has been waiting for a few days. Because of the explosion accident, the crew had no choice but to stop work, although everyone was anxious. Jimmy will notify the NYPD after the case is concluded, and they will contact the crew.

Jimmy has solved the bombing case in the past two days, but the child kidnapping case over Nia has not been solved yet. It has been a week, and now the hope of recovery is very slim.

Although Jimmy has not handled many kidnapping cases, the FBI has complete information. The best time for rescue is 48 hours after the kidnapping. Beyond this time, the probability of something happening to a child greatly increases.

Jimmy: "I'm not familiar with gangs. After much thought, I still need to confirm their information with you. Razor is quite a smart man. He can find me in advance and arrange an escape route for himself. It is considered the right choice."

Is he useful to you? If the worst comes to worst."

Jimmy continued to hold the newspaper in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, what's the matter with calling me out?"

Jimmy turned to look at Shao Shao. His expression seemed complicated and there was no sense of relaxation at all, "Your request."

Originally, Jimmy wanted to help, but they moved further and further away, making it impossible for Jimmy to intervene even if he wanted to help. After crossing the state, many things are very troublesome and need to coordinate the cooperation of multiple departments. Is Jimmy at the scene for such things?

The difference is not big. Agent Rice is a senior agent and she is familiar with this coordination process. Jimmy is still far behind in this aspect.

Jimmy checked the time and saw that it was still early. He got up and left the office and drove to the Bronx. Ruiz's informant was too calm. Although Jimmy guessed that he might not be an informant but an undercover agent, his case

It's indeed too long. If I can't wait any longer, I'll go directly to the Bronx and give him a call.

Jimmy: "But Razor wants me to step in and save him when necessary."

Ruiz: "You are very familiar with it. It seems you spend a lot of time here."

Ruiz picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Well, we have to be prepared this time. If necessary, we can serve both sides in one pot."

Ruiz nodded: "Although it is not very useful, it is still possible to serve as a witness. I know what you mean. I will check it tomorrow. If it really comes to that point, I think he will not refuse our request.

." After saying that, Ruiz smiled in a low voice and continued: "You kid, how come everyone who comes in contact with you has some problem? People like Razor can come to you, I really don't know how to say that you are trustworthy.

Or you seem to be easier to fool."

The two drank and chatted casually. After a while, Ruiz put down his glass and left.

Jimmy sat on a bench by the lake wearing sunglasses. He had already observed the surrounding area in advance and was basically sure that there was no one with any special behavior. He held a newspaper in front of him and read it. In fact, he did not read the contents of the newspaper at all;

Continue to observe the people around you through the newspaper.

Jimmy smiled and said, "My apartment is right next to it. It's more convenient here, and it's also cleaner."

Jimmy: "What's the matter? Razor." Razor is the Latin King's little boss that Jimmy found before, and he dealt with him twice.

Jimmy came to the bar, knocked on the countertop and shouted: "Woody, two glasses of whiskey."

Ruiz frowned: "Is it so serious?"

Jimmy: "Razor came to see me today, the Serra of Trinidad declared war on them."

Ruiz looked at Jimmy, he blinked, "Is something wrong?"

Jimmy: "I don't care, just treat him as a favor for helping him before. Besides, he kills two birds with one stone. You will definitely need him there. Anyway, he has been the boss for a long time and has everything he has in his hands."

There should be quite a few.”

When a gang declares war, it's okay if it's just the gangsters below. After all, no matter whose gang it is, they all need the soldiers below. But if the leaders at all levels are defeated, unless they run away and hide their names, they will definitely be treated as a thorn in the flesh.

processed.

As the gang leader, he took the initiative to call Jimmy. There must be some trouble. Razor had helped Jimmy twice before. In any case, he owed him a favor. No matter what it was, it was always best to meet and listen to his problem.

It is as it should be.

Razor: "There must be a reason why I came to you."

Jimmy folded the newspaper, stood up and straightened his clothes, "I know." After saying that, he turned and left the bench. Razor was still sitting on the bench, and Jimmy turned to look at him from a long distance away.

Didn't leave.

Jimmy nodded, Woody poured two glasses of whiskey, and Jimmy walked to the table next to him and sat down opposite Ruiz.

Jimmy put down the newspaper, looked at Razor, and then raised his right hand. After seeing Jimmy, Razor came over and sat next to him.

Although he decided to meet, Jimmy didn't want to give up the initiative. Letting Razor decide the time and location is definitely not as good as deciding it himself. Moreover, there are many people and complex environment in Central Park, which can also avoid some troubles, such as being ambushed. As long as Jimmy

By getting in position early and observing the people around you, you can basically avoid a lot of dangers.

Bartender Woody looked up at Jimmy and said with a smile: "You came very early today, Jimmy. As per the old rules?"

Jimmy was not impressed by the gang name Azte, but what Razor said about the gangs on the US-Mexico border made him feel very bad. He put the note into his pocket: "Do you have any information about the Azte gang?"

Razor: "Do you have time? Let's meet."

Jimmy nodded: "According to him, Trinidad has contacted the Azte gang on the US-Mexico border and may receive strong military support."

Ruiz: "OK."

Razor leaned back in his chair and spread his arms on the back of the bench. "Jimmy, I need help."

Now, Agent Kimberly Rice and Nia are more motivated to pursue the kidnapper. As for the kidnapped children, if they haven't been kidnapped yet, finding them is of course the best result.

Jimmy: "Tell me something."

Jimmy also smiled, "Whether he trusts me or lies to me, it actually doesn't matter, as long as he is willing to bear the consequences of being discovered by me."

The Latin Kings are different from gangs such as the Mafia. They themselves are composed of many small gangs, and there is no close hierarchical relationship. Now it seems that Razor and his small gang should be one of the targets of the other party.

.And this Trinidad gang seems to have grown a bit too fast. A gang that has only been established for a few years has the strength to annex other gangs. They are very dangerous. You need to go back to Ruiz to check the information.

By the way, check to see if what Shazhao said is true.

Jimmy returned to the station and found Ruiz, "Ruiz, do you have any plans after get off work? Have a drink?"

All Jimmy can do is call Nia frequently, cheer them on, and provide everything except help.

Jimmy: "I understand. Are you sure? Once we intervene, you will completely become a traitor in their eyes, and you may be hunted by them for the rest of your life."

Jimmy threw away the cigarette butt and got in the car to go back. At this time, his phone rang. Jimmy took a look and picked it up.

None of the gunmen who can use silencers are simple. Most criminals basically use ordinary pistols. If they pursue silence, they will also use daggers, machetes and the like. Being able to use silencers means that they at least

There is a black market channel where you can get silencers. Silencers are controlled firearm accessories, so most people really can't handle them.

Such professional gunmen usually have very clear ideas and must have thought about how to avoid exposing themselves in advance, just like the gunman in the taxi driver case. If Nick hadn't obtained surveillance from a roadside store through personal channels,

After taking the photo, it is basically impossible for his face to be seen by traffic surveillance.

Razor reached out and took out a note from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to Jimmy, "We got the news that Serra, the big boss in Trinidad, had contact with some people some time ago. It's just that no one would care about what Serra and the others said.

It’s just a small gang with not many people, but the people he comes into contact with belong to Azte, a gang on the US-Mexico border. I think you can guess what their main business is.”

Ruiz took a breath and said, "Someone is trying to enter New York again. This group of people cannot stop."

Jimmy looked at his watch: "Half an hour, by the lake in Central Park." After that, he hung up the phone.

Razor: "They started out as a small gang in California, and later expanded to New Mexico and Texas. Their main business was smuggling and drug trafficking. They had many gunmen and powerful force. They became famous near the border in a short period of time. This

People from Trinidad contacted them first, probably to expand their sales channels. My people can't get detailed information for the time being. We are just a small gang in New York and can't get detailed information."

Jimmy smoked a cigarette and waited. A few minutes later, he received a text message from another mobile phone number, "There are already clues, but they haven't been confirmed yet. Please don't contact me while you wait for news."

Now their tracking location has been from New York to New Jersey, through New York State, and then to Massachusetts. They also know that the police and FBI are chasing behind them, so they have been running in circles while fleeing north. They communicated on the phone last night

At that time, Nia and the others were still tracking the traces of the car, and used the authority of the FBI to coordinate with the Boston FBI office to assist in the investigation and surveillance, but they had not yet determined the final location of the kidnapped car.

Shiqi probably directly used gang members who were more reliable for him to investigate. In this way, he could usually get the most accurate information among the people covered. After all, they were all local gangsters, and their relationship network was far away in the local area.

It's much better than the FBI asking random people to question.

Jimmy smiled: "A little thing."

Jimmy: "Say what you want."

Razor put down his arms, sat down and looked at Jimmy: "If something unexpected happens, I want to survive."

Jimmy reached for the note and there were only two names on it, Serra and Barrio.

Okay, it was a waste of time, but Shi Qi is really professional. He even changed his mobile phone to send text messages. It was probably his own anonymous phone. This also made Jimmy believe in his own judgment more and more.

This Seventeen might really be a long-term undercover agent of the bureau.

Razor: "Someone wants to declare war on us, not on me, but on the Latin Kings. The other party is a new gang formed ten years ago, Trinidad."

Shazhao changed into a set of clothes, leather shoes, a casual suit, a hat to cover his hair, and a pair of rimless glasses. Just looking at his current image, he didn't look like a gang leader. He looked like an ordinary person no matter how he looked.

of office workers.

In the evening, Jimmy and Ruiz went to the bar next to Jimmy's apartment together.

Razor turned to look at Jimmy, then turned to look at the lake. Jimmy continued: "It is your own business to declare war between gangs. I am the FBI, not your thug. Remember your identity."

Razor: "I'm just saying this in advance, if..." He paused, leaning on the back of his chair and looking up at the tree crown above his head, "I'm just leaving a way out for myself."

There is no doubt that Seventeen is very good. Just relying on a photo and map survey provided by Jimmy, he can find some clues. This is more than Jimmy and Nick. Of course, the main reason is that Jimmy and the others can only use standard handling techniques.

, follow the rules, many times as long as the person asking is unwilling to tell, they will get nothing.

It has been two days, and there is still no progress in the murder case of Chuck's homeless man. The corresponding surveillance and surrounding investigations have been carried out for two or three rounds, and there has been no way to identify the possible suspect. This is also true for Jimmy.

within the scope of judgment.

Ruiz: "This is normal. This kind of thing happens among small gangs all the time."

Razor took a deep breath and then spit it out: "I'm just a small person, I can't think too much about the future."

Ruiz took a sip of whiskey: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Ruiz also nodded: "Yes, as long as he is not really stupid, he probably won't lie to you too much, but don't believe him, it's probably just a smoke bomb. This guy has a very good mind. If he wants to prepare for the future

There is absolutely no way there is only one path for you."

According to the speed at which he arrived at the coffee shop in half an hour last time, the informant Seventeen probably lived nearby. In order not to delay things, it was better to get there first before contacting him. Jimmy came outside the coffee shop again, this time when he parked the car

I paid special attention to parking in a parking space on the roadside, away from the deceptive fire hydrant.

Jimmy frowned and turned to look at Razor: "Are you sick?"

Jimmy got out of the car, looked around, and then called Shi Qi. However, he directly pressed the button and did not answer. It seemed that the timing was not very good.

Jimmy sat at the bar with a wine glass and said, "Woody, have another drink."

The bartender Woody made a very good impression on Jimmy. He was good at talking and was very knowledgeable. The key was that Jimmy looked familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember who he was. But what was certain was that he must be someone he had seen before.

A character from any movie or TV series.

In fact, Jimmy no longer cares about the characters appearing in the movies and TV series he has watched before appearing in this world. For him, a normal life is enough. So what if they are the protagonists or supporting roles in previous movies and TV series?

For Jimmy now, there is nothing he is really worried about, not even Noah Watson from the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. As Jimmy stays in this world longer and longer, he feels more and more that he does not need to care about too many things, and his mentality has changed.

A lot has changed from before.

Just live a normal life, this is your second life, enjoy your life, enjoy your career, and live this life happily is the goal you should pursue.
