North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 428 Attacked Again

Mahone has been contacting other FBI offices to confirm whether the fugitive Brown in the escape case has clues, and please inform the Manhattan office as soon as possible if they have clues. This is the highest priority case of their group recently.

Jimmy and Felicia are relatively relaxed. There are about 500 murders in New York a year. For these cases, the NYPD with tens of thousands of police officers can basically handle them. Except for federal employees or special cases, the FBI The homicide team will basically not participate, so Mahon and his team are much more relaxed than other teams.

Of course, NYPD cannot solve all murder cases. Their murder detection rate did not exceed 21% in the early 70st century... The national murder detection rate is also a little over 50%.

In addition, there is another standard for the detection rate. As long as the US police arrest or lock the suspect, they can solve the case. Even if the court acquits them, they can still solve the case. Therefore, it does not mean that people must be caught and thrown into prison to solve the case, as long as they know who they are based on fingerprints or DNA. If the arrest warrant is issued, the case will be solved, whether or not the arrest does not affect the detection rate.

Jimmy's new license plate finally arrived by express delivery, and the DMV's efficiency is too slow.Taking advantage of the weekend to change the license plate, this brand new CLS finally completed the formalities.

And there is even better news, Jimmy's Mercury has been replaced with a brand new front hood and left fender, Jimmy immediately took a taxi to check out, drove the Mercury back, and opened another long-term parking space in the parking lot, Jimmy has two cars can be placed side by side.

While at work on Monday, Hughes popped into the homicide office.

Hughes: "Jimmy, go to the administration department and find Tim Dunn."

Jimmy blinked, a little confused: "What's the matter?"

Hughes: "Go ahead, good thing." Then he returned.

Jimmy turned his head and glanced at Mahone. Both Mahone and Felicia looked at Jimmy. He didn't seem to understand, he was completely confused.Putting on his suit, Jimmy went out of the office to the administration department, asked about Dunn's office, and knocked on the door.

Dunn inside looked up and saw Jimmy, and stood up with a smile: "Come in, Jimmy."

Jimmy is still confused, but he still needs to say hello: "Hi, good morning, Dunn. Hughes asked me to come to you."

Dunn signaled Jimmy to sit down, "Wait a minute." He opened the safe behind him, took out a wooden box from it, put it on the table, opened it, and then turned to face Jimmy.

Dunn: "Congratulations, Jimmy, you will be a senior agent from now on."

Oh, a promotion, I have been in the FBI for two years, and I finally got a promotion.Jimmy thanked happily, then took the new ID and police badge from the box, took out the old ID from his pocket at the same time, took off the old police badge from his belt, and handed it to Dunn.

Dunn: "Your account has not changed, and the permissions have been adjusted. Come with me now, and we can take a photo."

Jimmy nodded and went to the next room to take pictures.After the photo shoot, Jimmy and Dunn went back to the office and asked by the way: "Dunn, can I apply for a replacement car now?"

Dunn: "Huh? What?"

Jimmy: "The previous car was inconvenient. I need to conceal the lights and siren. Of course, it would be best to change to a Saaban."

Dunn: "Let me check."

The two returned to Dunn's office, and Dunn turned on the computer and began to check.

Dunn: "I found it. Don't think about it for the time being, Saabban. We have already allocated all the controllable vehicles on our side, and the rest are motor vehicles. However, there are still a few vehicles that have been modified with police lights and sirens. It’s a Crown Victoria, with a car radio, and the driver’s door has been bulletproofed.”

Jimmy is a little disappointed that he didn't get the Saab class, but Crown Victoria is also fine, "Can you add a crash bar for me?"

Dunn was looking at the computer screen, but when he heard Jimmy's words, he turned to look at him: "Why do you want that thing?"

Jimmy shrugged: "I used to be a policeman, and I'm used to it. It's more convenient to have a crash bar in some situations."

Dunn thought for a while, and although Hughes didn't arrange these things, they had already given him so many benefits, which was not bad, so he nodded: "Okay, let me arrange it, and I will inform you to change the car after the transformation is complete. .”

Jimmy smiled and said, "Thank you, Dunn. Is there anything else?"

Dunn waved his hand, and Jimmy got up to say goodbye and left.

A promotion is a good thing. On the one hand, the authority has been improved, and on the other hand, the salary has also increased a lot. Although this salary is not lacking, it is more or less recognized by oneself.

The biggest advantage is actually his car. The previous Crown Victoria was just an ordinary car. The only advantage is the fake license plate. As long as someone checks the license plate through the DMV system, it will enter the FBI’s alert system and a special person will be in charge. deal with.

If the new car is really ready this time, it will be a full-featured camouflaged police car. In addition to the lack of rear seat cage functions, the bulletproof modification of the main driver's door would be great. For Jimmy, it would be even better to have this. Can ensure safety.

Jimmy was still immersed in the excitement of his promotion. He didn't even think about why he was investigated by OPR. He always thought that there were too many people who died this time.This time his salary will be improved so much, in fact, it is the compensation given by Hughes.Jimmy was completely targeted. According to their solution, even if Jimmy can successfully pass this due diligence, his reputation will be ruined.

There is relatively little content about OPR in film and television dramas. You can refer to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in police dramas. Once the Ministry of Internal Affairs starts to investigate a certain policeman, even if he can pass the investigation smoothly, he will still be considered a black policeman or unreliable. Rarely There are police who can get away with a big fanfare review by the Ministry of the Interior.

When the Ministry of Internal Affairs investigates, promotions, promotions, etc. will be stuck. After being labeled as a black policeman or unreliable, these are gone. Even after the investigation, you can only continue to spend at the current level until Only when there are special circumstances, such as doing some important things or being pushed by someone, can we get back up again.

Hughes was angry this time because his own people were raped by outsiders, and the methods were extremely despicable.Now that Hughes has confirmed that at least two departments, the field agent and the OPR, have insiders, and they transmit information very quickly, it is time to investigate and adjust.

Although the middleman Thomas promised to deal with the insider, who can guarantee that he can do it? After all, he is just a middleman, and it has been a few days since the last conversation, and Hughes has not seen any news of anyone being transferred.

Before they can transfer away by themselves, Hughes still hopes that his own people will do it, and Jimmy cannot be involved in this matter.According to Jimmy's personality, if he handles this kind of investigation, he may see another batch of corpses by then.

Hughes was sitting in the office, and he was also thinking about how to deal with the follow-up issues. According to the normal situation, Hughes had already reached the time to retire, but because some issues had not been dealt with, he remained in his position.Now that there is such a serious inner ghost incident, do you want to deal with it now?Or leave it to the people behind?

After thinking about it for a long time, Hughes still decided to get rid of the ghost first. If there is no accident, he should be able to persist for a while. The ghost's affairs should not be delayed for too long, which may cause a broken window effect.

Hughes called Ruiz and asked him to come to his house after get off work to chat.The reason why he chose Ruiz instead of Peter, whom he admired the most, is because the ghost is likely to appear among the people who will support Ruiz this time. He is more familiar with it, and the cases Peter usually handles are more about financial art. Such internal investigations deviated greatly from his business.

First of all, SWAT can be ruled out, because of task conflicts, they did not participate in the operation at all.

The second is the eight detectives on the scene. If something goes wrong with them, the people behind will get the news earlier, and they will definitely notify them to leave.Of course, the first eight agents cannot be completely ruled out, maybe they don't know who they are going to deal with at all.

Since Jimmy became the main target of the behind-the-scenes figures, there is another clue that must be known about the on-site combat situation. Several action agents must know that Jimmy is the main force, but they don't know if they have told others.

Finally, there were a dozen people who arrived at the scene to support after the battle. They were also the first people outside the action team to contact the scene. After they learned about the situation on the scene, they contacted the people behind.

Of course, there is also a possibility that this time the case is too noisy, and the people in the bureau will notify the people behind after they get the news. Then there will be too many suspects, and it is unrealistic to blindly expand the goal.

As for OPR, Fuller must have a problem. As for whether he is the only one, follow-up investigation is still needed.But after all, they are not under their jurisdiction, so let's see how to deal with them later.

In the evening, Hughes and Ruiz talked for a long time. Hughes revealed part of the behind-the-scenes story of this due diligence to Ruiz, and at the same time told him his own analysis. The investigation cannot be carried out with great fanfare.

It was only then that Ruiz understood the reason why OPR was making such a big fuss this time, and at the same time, he also had a judgment on the reason why Azt entered New York. There were powerful people behind the scenes to promote this matter, but they just arranged for white gloves to deal with it in front.

This time, because the raid was well kept secret, the insider didn't notify them in time, so the white gloves were directly killed on the spot, and at the same time cut off one of their sources of income.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Although it seems that the other party has confessed now, it cannot be ruled out that there will be another dispute later.

Ruiz: "What about Jimmy? They may have other means of targeting him."

Hughes: "Let's take it step by step, deal with the insider first, and Jimmy, you can remind him a little bit."

Ruiz nodded and thought for a while, "Should I transfer him away for a while?"

Hughes: "What do you think?"

Ruiz: "Azt is active on the border, whether it is Texas or New Mexico, there are people from them, why don't you contact the DEA and ask Jimmy to stay with them for a while?"

Hughes frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "It's not that simple over there, let me think about it again."

Ruiz: "Okay, I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

Hughes' phone rang suddenly, and when he picked it up and heard the words inside, he hung up the phone and his face became ugly.Hughes looked at Ruiz. "Jimmy was ambushed. Exit the parking lot near his house."
-
Jimmy is in a good mood today. After get off work, he made a detour to the Whole Foods Market to buy two fresh steaks and some vegetables, planning to go back and celebrate.Nia also made a phone call, and she will come after she gets off work. This is the same as Nia's transition from a patrolman to a police detective. Although there is no position adjustment, the promotion of the internal level is also worth celebrating.

After parking the car in the parking lot, Jimmy walked out of the parking lot with the bag and walked to the apartment.

A motorcycle came from the side, and two men in leather clothes and helmets approached Jimmy when the man on the back seat of the motorcycle suddenly raised his arm and pointed a pistol in his right hand at Jimmy.

Jimmy was walking on the sidewalk with his back to them, and suddenly felt flustered. After hearing the sound of the motorcycle, he subconsciously turned his head and looked over. When he saw the other person raising his hand, he immediately realized the danger, and fell directly to the side, controlling his body He fell to the ground abruptly, and immediately stretched out his right hand to draw the gun from his armpit after falling to the ground.

The gunman fired two shots at Jimmy and he dodged it, but the motorcycle rider did not stop and left at a high speed. He then twisted his body and continued to shoot Jimmy twice, but both missed.

When Jimmy pulled out the revolver to take aim, they were already more than ten meters away from Jimmy's position. Jimmy fired a shot. The posture was too awkward. At the time, they were already more than tens of meters away, which was beyond the range for the revolver.

"Fxxk!" Jimmy lay on the ground and raised his gun to watch the motorcycle run away. After cursing, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called 911 to call the police.

The function of calling the police is to mobilize the nearest patrol car, and the patrol police can protect the scene.The man fired four shots just now. Although he couldn't see what kind of pistol it was, it must have been semi-automatic.The shell case should be dropped on the ground, fingerprints may be collected, and the bullet may be recovered, which can be sent to the inspection center for ballistic identification, which can be used as evidence later to match the rifling bullet marks after the gunman or pistol is found.

After calling the police, Jimmy called Mahone again, and by the way called the forensics department to send someone over.

The third person to contact was Chuck. He needed Chuck's help to check the monitoring at the dispatch center, check the routes around him, and see where the motorcycle went.Of course, notifying Chuck means that Nia also knows, but now is not the time to chat. After knowing that Jimmy was not injured, she hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, a patrol car came over. After Jimmy showed his ID, he asked them to seal off the shooting scene. At the same time, several people began to search for shell casings on the ground, but only three were found in the end.Instead of moving the shell casings, they sealed off the scene and waited for the arrival of the forensics department.

Mahon and the others had already gone back from get off work, and rushed over immediately after receiving the call that Jimmy was attacked.
