198 Doubting Life
Jimmy waited in the conference room for a few minutes and Tim brought in a man in his 40s, white, male, with short black hair, less than 190cm tall, slightly taller than Jimmy, probably in the 185-190cm range.
Tim: "Jimmy, this is Senior Agent Peter Borke, the leader of the elite investigation team. Peter, this is Jimmy Young, a trainee detective who has just graduated from Quantiko. ”
Jimmy: "Hi, I'm Jimmy, Jimmy Young, nice to meet you. ”
Tim held up the folder in his hand and handed it to Pete: "Peter, Jimmy's grades at the academy are very good, and I will arrange an internship with you this time." ”
Peter took the folder from Tim's hand, "Jimmy, you'll be working with me in the Elite Investigation Team for the next six months, and I'll introduce you to the rest of the team later." ”
Tim: "OK, Jimmy over to you, I'll go out first." ”
Peter nodded, and after Tim left, he closed the door to the conference room. "Sit."
Jimmy sat across from Peter, who looked at his file and said, "Jimmy, did you just arrive in Manhattan?" Let me see, from Little Rock, far enough. ”
Jimmy: "Yes, I just arrived last night, and I came to report today, and I haven't looked for an apartment because I'm not sure where I work." ”
Peter: "Well, you have plenty of time to find a place to stay." The actual case test is A+, which is very good. Others, well, so be it. Leave your suitcase right here, and I'll show you the others. ”
Peter closed the folder and stood up, and Jimmy got up as well and followed Peter out of the room.
Coming to the office on the other side, Peter led Jimmy to the office door, Peter clapped his hands, and several agents turned to look at them.
Peter: "This is Probationary Agent Jimmy Young, who will be interning in our group later. Jimmy, this is Clinton Jones, who is in charge of electronics, tracking, surveillance, and so on, and this is Diana Belligan, who is in charge of all the things I don't do, and you follow Diana to familiarize yourself with our reports and files. ”
Clinton Jones, a black male, looks like he is in his early 30s, his hair is very short, and he is not much different from his bald head, looking at the width of his shoulders and body shape, he is also a strong man, but it is not particularly exaggerated, it seems that FBI agents are so strong, but they are not particularly fat, and they do not have the appearance of a police officer who is fat at every turn.
Diana Belligan, a long-haired black girl, looks very young, the estimated age should be 30 years old or below, of course, she must be older than Jimmy, Jimmy's actual age is 22, and her driver's license age is 26 years old.
Peter introduced Jimmy and the two team members, and then said to Jimmy, "Our team is a team to combat high-IQ crimes, and the main cases are art forgery and theft, commercial crimes, etc., you can look at the information with Diana first, and arrange it like this for the time being." ”
Peter then said to Diana, "Diane, arrange a desk and office items for Jimmy." He follows you. ”
Diana: "OK, boss. ”
Diana then took Jimmy to pick up the office items, mainly documents, and the computer needed to be processed by the IT department.
Jimmy took the time to ask Diana a few questions: "Diana, my driver's license is still Arkansas, do I need to go to the DMV (U.S. Department of Vehicles) to change it to New York?" ”
Diana smiled, "Don't bother so much, just apply to the administration directly, but it's best to wait until you rent an apartment." ”
Jimmy: "Speaking of apartments, are there any cheaper single apartments around here?" ”
Diana: "I don't know, you can ask an agent." It is advisable not to go too far from here, the traffic in Manhattan is terrible. If you are too far away, it may affect the time you come, and it will be difficult to gather in case of emergency. ”
Jimmy: "OK, I'll look for it when I get off work, it looks like I'll only be able to stay in the hotel for a few more days." ”
Diana handed Jimmy a cell phone, "This is our public phone, you can use this in the future." ”
Jimmy: "What about the phone number?" ”
Diana: "There's a phone card in it, write down your number, and the business card should be available to you tomorrow." ”
Jimmy: "Thank you. What am I going to do now? ”
Diana: "Sit down and take a look at this case, we're following up." ”
Diana took a folder from her desk and gave it to Jimmy, then sat back in her place.
Jimmy's position is at the front, behind him is Diana Belligan, and then behind Clinton Jones, it seems that Clinton Jones is more senior than Diana Belligan, and the office position is not casual.
The layout of the elite group's office is loft-style, with Jimmy, Jones, and Diana sitting at the entrance of the office, with a half-high office behind it, and a staircase going up, above Peter's office and conference room, and next to the assistant secret service director's office, of course, Jimmy has not been to see it.
There are two elevators right outside their office that take you directly downstairs.
Jimmy flipped through the folders, first of all, a candid daily photo, a bearded man, bald, white, can't tell the age, well, this is Jimmy's weakness, the age of foreigners is sometimes really hard to guess, especially in this case of a long beard covering his face.
Vince Gad, a native of New Mexico, with a double master's degree in chemistry and history, a lecturer in the history department of New York University, and a lecturer in American history, I can't tell that such a guy is a cultural person, just looking at the photo I think it's a Southern red neck, Jimmy has not seen this kind of person in Arkansas before.
Since two years ago, several ancient books have appeared on the market, including two of the 80 selections in Zamorano, Horace Bell's "Memories of a Ranger" in 1881, and William Heath Davis's "Sixty Years in California" in 1889.
After the police were called, the case was transferred to the FBI, and the case involving historical artifacts was transferred to Peter's group.
Both well-known collections are currently in the collections of various university libraries, and the FBI has confirmed that the books are not missing.
Now this case is a big trouble, there has been no direct clue to Vince, although according to the informant can be determined that Vince is an expert in forging ancient books, but there is no direct evidence, there is no way to convict.
Jimmy is completely numb, he hasn't encountered this kind of case in the past two years, who knows how to investigate this kind of case? Damn, are the FBIs all cases of this level? So what was I before? Public security police? Traffic cops? Or simply a part-time SWAT?
