North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 309 Accident, Another Accident

With the guilty plea result on Jimmy's side, he can write a case report, and then hand it over to the federal prosecutor, waiting for a later trial.

After dealing with all these things, Jimmy can finally rest. Although he has been busy for a while, although the shooting case was not settled, he got another body dismemberment case by accident, which is also a credit.

Jimmy had a rare break, so he booked a Broadway ticket and prepared to treat himself.Fortunately, there was just one Broadway classic "Phantom of the Opera". Although it was the first time I watched it, it was better to watch classics to understand the musical than to just watch another one, although the ticket price was also very expensive.

Jimmy tidied it up early, and found an Italian suit made by a fashion designer named Demo. Unfortunately, he was really unhappy with the bow tie, so he gave up the bow tie that he used when making this suit, and used another one of his own. Black tie with purple stripes.

A three-piece black suit, white shirt, black tie, black leather shoes, and a black windbreaker outside. Although the weather is very cold, it is not a big problem to drive back and forth, and the image is the most important.

When he came to Broadway and checked the tickets, Jimmy went in. This was his first time in a Broadway theater, and the seat was a little behind the middle.Jimmy came a little early, observing the surrounding environment while waiting for the opening.

Maybe it was the etiquette of the theater. The people who entered the venue seemed to be very quiet, except for occasional small whispers. Jimmy also took out his mobile phone and checked to confirm that it was muted, no problem.

After all, Jimmy has no background in musicals. When he heard it for the first time, he suddenly felt that he had made a wrong choice.Although he has received information from various sources that musicals are not acceptable to everyone, the more he listens, the more he feels that this is not his taste.

The main reason is that Jimmy didn't know the background story of the Phantom of the Opera before. After listening to it for only half an hour, before the first half was over, he felt that he was going to be unable to hold on.

Two halves, top and bottom, plus a break in between, two and a half hours. During the break, Jimmy slipped into the bathroom and lit a cigarette to wake himself up.

During the intermission, Jimmy was also observing the people around him. Many people who came to watch the musical seemed to be quite old, or at least middle-aged, and there were very few young people like himself.

It has to be said that those people who watched the scene knew what the so-called class was all about.Basically, Jimmy didn't meet a few people of color, and it's basically okay to say that more than 9% of them are white.A young Chinese like him really stands out among the crowd.

"Jimmy? Is that you?" Jimmy heard someone calling him from behind, turned his head and looked over, what kind of luck is this, Jenna is wearing a long white dress, and there is an old man next to him, uh, she is an old man, she looks around 60 , a head of black hair, but there are obvious wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.

Jenna came to Jimmy with the old man on her arm: "It's really you, Jimmy, I didn't expect you to have a hobby of watching opera."

Jimmy greeted Jenna with a smile: "Jenna, good evening. I actually seldom come here. You know, I'm very busy there. Who is this?"

Jenna: "Ronald Raymond, my uncle."

Jimmy reached out to shake Raymond's hand: "Nice to meet, Mr. Raymond."

Raymond held Jimmy's hand, seemingly unconsciously, with a little force, and Jimmy continued to shake hands without changing his expression.The two shook hands for a few seconds, and then let go of each other. Jimmy didn't use much force. The crime of abuse of the elderly is not a light one, let alone a friend's relative.

Raymond: "Great guy, what do you do?"

Jenna interrupted Raymond's questioning suddenly: "Well, he's not your subordinate, why ask so many questions?!"

She turned to look at Jimmy: "Did you come here alone today?"

Jimmy nodded: "It's a rare break, so come and relax. What about you? Have a drink together after the end?"

Jenna glanced at Raymond: "No, I promised to go home tonight."

Jimmy: "Well, let's make an appointment later. Bye, Jenna, bye, Mr. Raymond. Have a good night!"

Jimmy and Raymond shook hands and said goodbye, and turned back to the hall. Jenna accompanied her relatives to watch the opera, and it was enough to say hello by herself, and it would be too shameless to spend time there.

But Jenna is really ever-changing. The last time I saw her wearing a mid-length skirt that reached her knees, she looked enthusiastic and cheerful. Today, the long skirt she is wearing looks very dignified, woman.

The second half began soon. Jimmy, who had been groggy for a while, had a rest and regained some energy. It was already an hour after watching the second half.

Jimmy left the theater slowly with the flow of people, checked the time, it should be still early, looked at the surrounding environment, he walked along Broadway for a while, and found a whiskey bar, so he didn't look for others.

After entering the door, the waiter next to him helped take away the windbreaker, and Jimmy came to the bar area.This bar is really eye-catching. The dim yellow lights reflect the wine racks on both sides of the bar. Various styles of wine are just placed on the racks. Whiskey is the most popular here, but there are also dry wine racks. Yap, Armagnac, Rum and Tequila.

Maybe it's because there are no customers now, so the bartender is just chatting with Jimmy without saying a word.Instead of drinking his usual Glenlivet this time, Jimmy chose Kentucky bourbon.

This bar is really good, the environment can make people relax unconsciously, and it is very quiet, the music is very low and transparent, and the person who designed the room structure is definitely a master.While enjoying the tranquility, Jimmy drank slowly and chatted with the bartender. It felt really good, and he could come here often in the future.

In a slightly drunk state, Jimmy got up and left the bar, took back the windbreaker from the waiter, Jimmy returned to the parking lot, and drove home.

After the performance, Jenna followed Raymond back to her home.A woman who can afford Enzo will naturally not be an ordinary person at home. When she came to a high-rise flat apartment, Raymond sat and chatted with a couple in the villa for a while and then left, while Jenna's This is where the suffering begins.

Although it is the beginning of the 21st century, most parents are still very concerned about their children’s romance and marriage. When they have homosexuality, they usually don’t agree with both hands. The reason why they came to New York is for this thing.

After enduring a lot of verbal bombardment, Jenna got up to wash and rest, completely pretending that they were not there. This kind of personal choice can not be solved by a lot of verbal bombardment, but it will arouse rebellious psychology. Sometimes It will really have the opposite effect.

Jimmy returned to the office and rested for two days. His spirit was indeed much better, and another batch of selected materials had arrived. When Chris came over in the morning, he put a thick package on Jimmy's desk.

Jimmy didn't open the file, but looked at the case system first, but he suddenly found that the shooting case disappeared from the list of pending cases.

"Chris, why is our case gone?" Jimmy yelled, then turned to look at Chris.

Chris was also very surprised. He immediately turned on the system and began to check. He frowned and looked around in the system. He waved to Jimmy, and Jimmy leaned over to look at the screen.

The case of the shooting of former federal prosecutor Joey is already in the process of being submitted and closed, and the case has entered the information verification stage, and the person handling the case is Special Agent Ryan Phillips of the Queens Field Office.

Jimmy turned to look at Chris, "Chris, after the case is distributed to us, can other people operate it?"

Chris frowned and nodded: "Yes, the case database is shared. But in principle, cases where a handler has been assigned, usually other people will not intervene, and it is strange that he has not contacted me."

Chris also looked at Jimmy, and the two looked at each other, then focused their eyes on the monitor again.

Jimmy looked at the information that the case was handled, and said to Chris: "There is a problem. Chris, why don't you go and find out?"

Chris nodded, "You deal with other things first, I'll ask." After speaking, Chris picked up his suit and left the office.

Jimmy returned to his seat, still confused. It seemed that this did not happen in all the cases he had been in contact with before. No matter whether he was a county policeman or in Peter and Ruiz's team before, no one else appeared. Given the circumstances of their case, were there special rules for homicide?

But Chris didn't know either. He was an old detective. Among other things, his few gray hairs represented his seniority.

This is the FBI. If they are not qualified, they will definitely be assigned to other positions. Even if one or two bosses can keep their staff, it cannot guarantee that Chris will be able to secure a position in the hands of every boss for so many years.

And that Ryan, he was the one who took over the MS13 shooting case before, and was also initiated by Hughes for a joint inquiry, which was very impressive.

After thinking wildly for a while, Jimmy could only open other materials to change his mood. These historical cases are still of great reference value. Read more, and there will be a reference target when encountering similar cases in the future.

More than half an hour later, Chris came back.The expression on Chris's face was very complicated, the kind of look that wanted to laugh but didn't know what to say.

Jimmy stood up and asked, "Chris, how is it? Is there any result?"

Chris nodded, returned to his seat, took off his suit and hung it aside.He pressed his fists on the table and looked at Jimmy, "You never know what happened."

Jimmy is speechless, stop making trouble and speak quickly. "What's the matter? How can I guess if you don't tell me."

Chris stood up straight and looked at Jimmy: "We didn't break the case, and it wasn't Ryan who broke it, it was a complete accident.

When NYPD in Queens initiated a traffic stop, a car escaped and was stopped by them after chasing for about half an hour. A gun battle broke out and the gunman died.

The pistol held by the gunman was a ghost gun, and they sent it back for testing. As a result, the testing center matched the ballistic, which was the gun that killed Joey. They notified the FBI office in Queens, and the case was closed. "

This, Jimmy was dumbfounded, and he said that the past two weeks have been in vain.Is it such a coincidence?Do you want to be so exciting?The key is to make yourself look like an idiot, running back and forth for two weeks, working hard overtime, is that the result?

Jimmy asked, "Has the shooter been identified?"

Chris nodded, "I just said that you will never guess what happened, and now I will add that you will never guess who this person is.

Jimmy, your investigation is on the right track, just not so lucky.

The shooter was indeed the main criminal in the previous case that Joey had tried, but it was not the case in the last period, but more than ten years ago. He committed second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years. He just got out of prison three weeks ago , he should have investigated Joey's situation a long time ago, and shot Joey shortly after he was released from prison.

Of course, these reasons are all my guesses, and now no one knows what's going on. "

Jimmy frowned: "No, it was released early again? Manny was released early a few days ago. How could the prison allow these people to be released early?"

In addition to these, Jimmy is still a little skeptical. The truth of the matter may not be that simple. Is there someone behind him?Is there any other reason?Or is this person simply an unlucky guy who was pushed out?
Chris also curled his lips: "This is beyond our control. Well, the case is over. I'll see if there are any other cases."

Jimmy smiled and said to Chris: "Do you want to deal with the case continuously? Chris, we just finished a big case, why don't we take a break?"

Chris raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any plans?"

Jimmy: "I've been very busy this year, half a year of college, half a year of work, and I'm also very tired. Isn't this going to go out and have fun at the end of the year?"

Chris: "Oh? So where are you going to play?"

Jimmy: "Europe? I haven't had a good rest since I came to Manhattan. I just took advantage of Christmas and went out for a walk."

Chris frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I can't approve this, let me ask."

Jimmy shrugged, he just wanted to ask, what if he could sneak out to play, right?There were specific reasons for those vacations before, and it was basically impossible to go out and play without any worries.

Originally working on a case, Jimmy didn't think about taking a vacation now, but when the case suddenly disappeared, the thought of sneaking out to play emerged.

At noon, Chris didn’t ask Jimmy to go out for dinner, but went out by himself. Jimmy didn’t bother to go far, so he bought a hamburger and coffee for lunch and went back to the office to rest. Speaking of the habit of lunch break, Jimmy basically always He kept it, and he would squint for a while whenever he was free.

Now there are only him and Chris in this office. Before Chris came back, Jimmy was more free, and he just sat on the sofa next to him and fell asleep.

Before leaving get off work, Chris said to Jimmy: "Hughes has already approved it, and I will give you a week of vacation. Come back before Christmas. You need to work overtime on Christmas until after New Year's Day. Any questions?"

Surprisingly, when Chris said he couldn't approve the vacation, Jimmy thought it was over.

Jimmy nodded, "Of course, no problem. Do you start tomorrow?"

Chris nodded: "Go back and pack up, come back early."

Jimmy tidied up the desktop, turned off the computer, picked up his suit and windbreaker, and left.It was really the first time that I decided to go out to play temporarily, because it was also the first time to go to Europe. Jimmy thought about it and decided to go to France.

The United States and the European Union are visa-free. You can call and book a plane ticket with your passport directly, and fly directly to Paris. The flight only takes 6 hours.Fortunately, this time is not yet the peak period before Christmas, and air tickets are still very rich.

Jimmy booked the air ticket for the next day, and packed a suitcase at night to start preparations. This time, Jimmy planned to check the situation and see if he should activate his identity card. The identity card was still with Tom and he hadn’t brought it back yet, but Tom had given it to him. Jimmy Cope has contacted the phone number and password of the European branch. It is not a big problem if there is no card. The key is that the mobile phone needs to be brought. When he decides to use it, he will install the battery.
