257 Private work
Jimmy got home, put away his purchases, and went out for dinner, shopping during the day today, playing squash in the evening, he was really a little tired, and after dinner, he threw himself on the couch to watch TV.
Unconsciously, Jimmy fell asleep on the couch, and suddenly the phone rang, Jimmy opened his eyes and sat up, picked up the spare phone from the table, why was Justin calling at this time?
Jimmy: "What's the matter?"
Justin: "How far is your place from Long Island?" Is it okay to go out now?"
Jimmy: "I'm in Manhattan, and it takes a long time to get to Long Island, mainly depending on the traffic, but I haven't counted the exact time, what's wrong?"
Justin: "Someone needs a private investigator to help investigate a missing property, I recommended you to him, for you, the investigation should be a good job, no problem."
Jimmy: "What eucalyptus?"
Justin: "A rich man lost an emerald and gemstone necklace, the price is not high, but it is very important to him, it is his family heirloom, the necklace is usually locked in the safe, but he opened the safe yesterday and found that the necklace was missing.
Because he has some problems with his identity, he can't call the police to investigate in a big way, so he can only find a private detective to deal with it."
Jimmy: "Is his identity safe?" You know I'm an FBI, and if something happens because of my involvement, it might be more troublesome later."
Justin: "Safe, rest assured."
Jimmy: "Okay, give me the address, I'll check it out, and I'll decide after I've seen it."
Jimmy changes into a suit, sorts out his weapons and bullets, and goes out with his wallet, key, and phone.
Jimmy regretted it, he really should have bought a car, now it's a big night, he can only take a taxi, it's not convenient at all. But there is no parking space in his apartment, even if he buys a car, he needs to park it elsewhere, which is still troublesome, in short, it is very annoying.
Take a taxi straight to Long Island, fortunately, although the distance is a bit far, but the taxi driver is still willing to run this trip, the key is that there are more rich people on Long Island, and safety is guaranteed.
Jimmy took a taxi to the seaside villa area of Aslip, Long Island, got out of the car outside a beachside villa, and the driver turned around and left.
The villa here is not fenced, Jimmy walked directly to the front of the villa, rang the doorbell, and a woman stepped out of it and opened the door.
The woman asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Jimmy didn't take out his papers, but replied, "I'm looking for Mr. Roman Zhukovsky, and I'm introduced by Justin."
Woman: "Please wait."
After a while, Jimmy saw two people coming from the house, opening the door, and the man in front of him reached out to shake Jimmy's hand. "Hello, I'm Roman Zhukovsky. Please come in."
Jimmy followed Roman into the villa, it looks like this villa is a little old, the furniture in the house looks like old-fashioned solid wood, and the lacquer surface tends to be dark, and it looks like many of them are old.
Roman led Jimmy to the living room couch, "Please take a seat, coffee?" Or tea?"
Jimmy: "Coffee, thank you."
The woman standing next to her turned to leave.
Roman: "What do you call it?"
….
Jimmy: "Jerry, Justin told me you had a missing property here, can you elaborate on that?"
Roman: "Wait a minute."
Roman got up to leave, Jimmy watched Roman walk into a room, take out the phone from his pocket and talk to someone, after a while, he hung up, took a picture from the table next to him, and handed it to Jimmy.
Roman: "This is a picture of my grandmother, and she wears the missing necklace around her neck."
Jimmy looked at the photo carefully, he came empty-handed, without any equipment, originally just doing basic research, not necessarily finding the necklace late at night.
Jimmy: "Is there a magnifying glass?" Or a clearer picture of the necklace."
Roman thought for a moment, got up and took it out of the cabinet next to him
A box, opened to a pair of old-fashioned glasses and a magnifying glass, "This is my grandfather's left, probably the only magnifying glass in my house."
Jimmy didn't pick up the magnifying glass directly, but took out the disposable gloves he was carrying from his pocket, as an FBI agent, he always wore gloves on his body in case he would not leave his fingerprints to contaminate the evidence during the investigation, which is a regular carry-on item, in fact, the police also carry it.
Putting on gloves, Jimmy picked up a magnifying glass and looked closely at the necklace, which is a necklace with green and white, inlaid with three emerald gemstones, the three emerald gemstones are large in the middle, and the two on both sides are a little smaller, the photo is black and white, but it can also be seen that the style is very simple.
[In other words, it is the best to read aloud and listen to books at present, @@,.install the latest version.] 】
What is the material of the necklace itself, you can't see it from this old photo. As for why Jimmy knew it was an emerald gemstone, because Justin had previously informed him that it was an emerald gemstone necklace that was missing.
The woman just now came over and handed over two cups of coffee, Jimmy put down the photo and magnifying glass, reached out and took a sip of the coffee, "The coffee is so good. Roman, can I take a look at the scene?"
Roman stretched out his hand and pressed it, "Jerry, you just came here, take a break, at least finish this cup of coffee."
Jimmy nodded, leaning back slightly on the back of the sofa, his mind eye had been activated, before at the door was mainly to confirm how many people were in the house, to prevent unknown dangers, and now too, because this villa is a bit big, Jimmy's heart eye from the position of the door can not cover it at all.
At present, it seems that in addition to himself, there are only Roman and the maid in the house, and there are two people standing behind the door next to the house, looking like they will open the door and rush out at any moment.
Jimmy sat up suddenly, "Roman, how many people do you usually have here, and how many people did you have when the necklace was lost?"
Roman: "Usually only the maid is here, and there is a security guard who is not always here, and he usually doesn't go into the room, but only patrols outside, and when I go home, I take two bodyguards with me, and they are now resting in the next room."
Jimmy checked the number of people to make sure there was no problem, picked up his coffee and took a sip, "It's not too early, let's start early."
Roman also put down the coffee cup in his hand, got up and led Jimmy up to the second floor, to a study. After entering the study, Roman came directly to the bookshelf, reached out and pushed the bookshelf to the side, and the bookshelves as a whole moved dozens of centimeters to the right, revealing the safe hidden on the wall.
Roman: "The necklace is usually in this safe." Roman said as he blocked the front of the safe, reached out and opened the safe, this is a safe that has been around for many years, there is only one password disk, a lever, look at the rust around the safe, it should have been inlaid on the wall for a long time.
