204 Case follow-up

Diana picked up the information, "Okay, first of all, the painter Rachel, she just came to New York to hold an art exhibition, and she doesn't have a network in New York, and there are only three people who can be named, one of whom is Parker Denley, the owner of the gallery.

According to Rachel, Parker met her in Paris, and after getting acquainted with her, she said that she had a small gallery that could hold a solo exhibition for her, and after thinking about it for a long time, Rachel and Parker came to New York together, and after a month of preparation, the exhibition officially opened."

A photo of Parker Denley was projected on the projector, of course, because Parker was not in New York and he hadn't seen him yet.

Diana continued, "Parker will be back in New York when I get the call from the gallery, and I'm expected to be in touch with him tomorrow."

Diana operated the computer to change the photo, which was a graduation photo with two people circled on it.

Diana: "Rachel's acquaintances in New York are these two men, Anthony Gonzalez and Peter Collins are Rachel's classmates, both of whom are currently in Queens and don't work in the arts, Anthony Gonzalez is a stockbroker, and Peter Collins works for a construction firm, and they have little special connection to Rachel. Relationally speaking, these two people should have nothing to do with the theft.

Today, I will arrange for someone to follow up on the whereabouts of these two people two days ago and make a final confirmation. Jones."

Jones moved over the computer and played a few photos, "These are the four employees of the gallery, because the gallery is very small, so they don't have full-time security, according to the normal exhibition, one or two of them will be arranged in shifts, and this exhibition, there are no personnel at night, there are some problems here."

I asked the staff, and they said that the exhibition was a friend of the owner, and it was not a well-known painter, so they did not arrange anyone on duty, and the exhibition in the previous few days was very small, and there were no accidents.

I suspect it may have something to do with Parker Denley's absence, the boss's absence, and they are lazy. The whereabouts of the four employees the night before were recorded, and according to them, they all had alibis, which need to be verified."

Peter: "Okay, let's go check the testimony of Rachel's friend and gallery staff separately based on the current leads."

Once Peter had made the arrangements, they packed up their things and prepared to leave the conference room.

Jimmy: "Peter, *** what?"

Peter: "You follow Jones to investigate the whereabouts of the four employees. go。」

Jimmy: "OK"

Jimmy and Jones set off together, Jones drove, of course this is the car that the FBI rations agents, Jimmy is still a trainee agent and needs to follow other agents to act, so he doesn't have anything, he doesn't even have an account to look up information on the computer.

There are four people on the list, and luckily they all live in Chelsea, and two of them are rented together, which is great news for Jones and Jimmy, and it saves a bit of work.

The first thing Jimmy and Jones determined was the two of them, they were on the 3rd floor of an apartment, Jones first took Jimmy to check the surveillance near the door of the apartment, and then went upstairs to check, Jimmy opened his eyes very worry-free, and directly swept the room of the two of them, the things in the house were very messy, and it could be seen that neither of them was particularly clean and tidy.

….

However, Jimmy didn't scan anything unusual in the house, especially something as neat as a picture frame.

Because the gallery is currently closed by the NYPD, the staff go home and wait for news, Jones knocks on the door to double-check with them for the day's itinerary, and after getting permission, Jimmy and Jones also enter the room to do a basic check.

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

entrances and exits, and the traffic surveillance at the intersection next to it should be able to take pictures of the entrance to the apartment."

Jones drove away and went to find a third person, Seaman Mays, who was also renting an apartment, and Jones looked at the surrounding surveillance before entering the apartment building and knocking on the door.

Seaman Mays opened the door, and Jones reconfirmed his whereabouts as usual, but this time they did not enter all the rooms, but only glanced at Seaman's bedroom, because Seaman said that the apartment was rented by him in partnership with another person, and that he could not be allowed to look at the other bedroom without the permission of the other companion.

Jones, who had touched a nail, could only pull Jimmy downstairs to prepare to leave.

Jimmy: "There's probably something wrong with this person."

Jimmy's this is to come to a conclusion before thinking about the reason, because he has just seen some rectangular objects placed diagonally against the wall of the bedroom in the inner bedroom, about the size of a picture frame. If Seaman's roommate didn't happen to be a painter, then the paintings were most likely from Rachel's exhibition.

It just so happened that the room was the room of another companion that Seaman had mentioned.

The problem now is that without a search warrant, you can't go to the room to search, and to apply for a search warrant, you need to have a suitable reason, and now you have to think about what reason to get a search warrant.

Jones: "How do you know? Why?"

Jimmy: "Well, my gut feeling, it feels like he's lying, so let's take a look at the nearby surveillance first."

Jones didn't know what Jimmy was capable of, and he couldn't just trust Jimmy's perception and give up on the fourth person.

Jones: "Look around for the surveillance now, and I'll go see the last person."

Jimmy: "Okay."

Jimmy got out of the car, Jones drove away, Jimmy started walking along the sidewalk in both directions, now that he had a goal, how could he nail them down? Evidence, reason, these two are very important.

Jimmy walked back and forth twice, making sure there were no outside cameras nearby that could catch the road car. That's the trouble.

Jimmy pulled out the phone and called Jones, "Jones, how are you doing over there?"

Jones: "There's nothing wrong here, I'm alone in the basement, there's nothing unusual in the room."

Jimmy: "Well, do you have a camera in your car?" I can't find any surveillance cameras here that can photograph Seaman's apartment, so I can only try to keep an eye on it here."

Jones: "Wait for me to come."

After waiting for a few minutes, Jones drove back, and instead of parking outside Seaman's apartment, he stopped twenty or thirty meters away from the apartment.

Jones: "Jimmy, what did you find?"

Jimmy: "No, Seaman didn't come out, I want to take pictures of the people coming in and out, and then check them later." My gut feeling is that Seaman definitely has a problem, he was nervous when he was talking."

Jimmy really didn't know what to say, so he could only talk nonsense.
