300 Surveys and inquiries
After Ruiz was taken away by ambulance, Jimmy called Hughes, "Hughes, MS13 kidnapped our surveillance team, Ruiz and I came to negotiate with them, there was a shootout, Ruiz was shot in the abdomen, he has been sent to the hospital, and other people need to support him to collect evidence." ”
Jimmy didn't wait for Hughes to ask, but said a bunch of things, and then waited for Hughes to instruct.
Hughes: "You wait on the scene for a while, Agent Ryan Phillips will take someone to take over, and then you'll be right back." With that, Hughes hung up the phone.
Jimmy pouted, the trainee detective has no human rights, and he didn't let himself close the case he did, yes, avoid danger, but who is this Ryan Phillips, I've never seen it.
Jimmy and several NYPD members remained on the scene, and the three members of the kidnapped surveillance team also stayed behind to wait for follow-up personnel to take over and take notes.
More than half an hour later, a few cars stopped outside the bar, and a middle-aged man with cool short hair walked in with a few people.
"Who's Jimmy?"
Jimmy raised his hand in greeting, "Me." ”
Ryan shakes hands with Jimmy: "Ryan Phillips, from the Queens office." How's it going? After speaking, he looked at the room behind Jimmy, a big scene, at a glance, there were three people lying on the ground, and there were two more in the distance.
Jimmy: "It's best if you take over, Hughes is still waiting for me to report back, the three of them are members of the surveillance team kidnapped by MS13, and handed them over to you." ”
Ryan waved his hand: "Hurry up and go back, I'll take care of the rest." ”
Jimmy: "OK, goodbye. ”
Jimmy tidied up his clothes, turned around and left the bar and walked out onto the street, which had been cordoned off by the NYPD, so Jimmy had to go to the intersection and hail a taxi back to Manhattan.
"Knock knock", Jimmy knocked on Hughes's door.
Hughes: "Come in, close the door!" Jimmy entered the office and closed the glass door.
Hughes; "Tell me, what the hell is going on? How did you end up going with Ruiz? ”
Jimmy: "Ruiz arranged for the surveillance team to monitor one of the MS13 locations, but he suddenly couldn't contact them, and he thought it was possible that the MS13 people had discovered the existence of the surveillance team, so he needed to negotiate with them.
Before contacting me, Ruiz had already called SWAT in advance, but they didn't use them in the end. ”
Jimmy recounted the whole incident from beginning to end, and of course it must be stated that he did so when he heard gunshots coming from the room, and he was very worried about Ruiz's safety.
After listening to this, Hughes said: "You go back and rest first, and wait for the phone to participate in the inquiry, just these two days." Let's go back. ”
Jimmy didn't say anything more, and honestly opened the door and walked out of Hughes's office, going downstairs and going home.
Hughes watched as Jimmy left the office, his right fist clenched and punched on the desk. He was going to hang Jimmy for a while longer, and Ruiz made a phone call to get his plan reimbursed in full. Hughes looked at the time, got up, picked up his suit and put it on, and left the office to check on the hospital to see what was going on.
Jones's location was not far downstairs, he watched Jimmy come back and walk into Hughes's office, and it didn't take long to see Jimmy leave, followed by Hughes, and the gossip soul instantly got up.
Jones walked upstairs, knocked on Peter's door, and closed the door as he entered.
Jones whispered, "Peter, it seems that something is going on on Jimmy's side again." ”
Peter looked up at him: "What?" ”
Jones: "He came back and went straight to Hughes, and they left on their front and back feet. ”
Peter didn't speak, but thought for a while, "It's okay with us, let's go back." ”
Jones turned and pulled the door open and walked out, but Peter began to think about what it was to make Hughes go out in such a hurry, and it had something to do with Jimmy, it always felt like it wouldn't be a trivial matter.
Jimmy went home and rested for a while and went to take a shower, this process is really a little familiar, although I haven't experienced it in the FBI before, but I have participated in many times in the early stage of being a county police officer, and it is just an inquiry, not a big deal.
Jimmy had a good night's rest, ready to reconnect with his previous agent the next day, and when he returned to Manhattan, the house should be on the agenda, who wouldn't want to have a house of their own!
The next day, Hughes met Special Agent Ryan Phillips in the office of the Queens office, this time the case should not have reached the level of Hughes, Agent Ryan handled it directly, but the matter involved his subordinates Ruiz and Jimmy, so it was necessary to understand the case in advance and arrange inquiries.
Agent Ryan brought a lot of things with him this time, the most important of which were two videotapes, and Jimmy didn't expect that the bar was not only monitored at the door, but also in the bar lobby, and there was one diagonally, and everything that happened in the bar lobby was recorded.
Hughes first learns about the scene and the three members of the kidnapped surveillance team with Ryan, and then goes with Ryan to the conference room, where he can hook up a video camera to play the tape.
Peter's office was next to the conference room, and when he heard this, he naturally interjected and watched the videotape.
The surveillance did not record the sound, it is very strange, the monitoring of the gangsters turned out to be this kind of low-level goods, it is said that they can set up a monitoring center, and there should be no shortage of money to make a good point. Ryan also confirmed this, and the intelligence officers had checked the surveillance system, and it was true that only images were recorded, and there was no sound.
The tape has been processed, from the time Ruiz and Jimmy are at the hallway door to the time when they enter the speakeasy lobby, and the footage of Ruiz entering the small room is not in the videotape, because the small room is not monitored, and the confession there is provided by the only person alive in the room and Ruiz in the hospital.
Because of the clarity of the surveillance, I can only see that Jimmy has been holding on to the high table without moving, a few minutes later, Jimmy suddenly took out Glock from his waist and shot at the two guards at the door, and then turned around and hid behind the pillar next to him, 3 people appeared from the other side, Jimmy slammed open the door of the small room after killing, and killed two people against the wall.
The second tape is the same image, but at a different angle, closer to Jimmy, and more detail can be seen.
Hughes and Peter, they only knew that Jimmy was very good at fighting, but they had never actually seen it, and this was the first time they watched Jimmy's marksmanship and skills in actual combat.
After the two videotapes were played, Ryan replayed the first video, this time he was holding the controller to pause at any time, and explained the situation in the video, mainly according to the location of the 7 people who died and the situation that appeared in the video.
After getting this video yesterday, Ryan has already communicated with the people in the Queens office, because he has to give Hughes a preliminary report today, so many things need to be prepared in advance, and now is the time to show the materials he prepared in advance.
Jimmy's shooting action is not narrated, but according to the investigation of the bullet holes at the scene and the location of the shooting of all parties in the video, they have determined in advance, and Jimmy did not fire a single shot during the whole process.
In the direction of Jimmy's shot, they did not find any bullets embedded in the walls or the ground, that is, all the bullets hit the human body, some remained in the human body, and some shattered and fell to the ground.
This is already very surprising, everyone is an FBI agent, Hughes also grew up from a junior agent, they know the efficiency of their ammunition use under normal circumstances, not to mention that not a single shot is wasted, under normal circumstances, agents empty or semi-empty the magazine in the maximum output mode.
Ryan explained how Jimmy had killed a few people, then reversed the tape and went to the position where he had killed the two guards at the beginning. "In addition, I found a special situation, from the scene, Jimmy has his own unique shooting rhythm. Look here. ”
Ryan paused the footage and began to play it slowly, "From here on, Jimmy's shooting frequency has always been double shots, one in the chest and one in the head, you can see the muzzle flame here, the order in which this guard is shot." ”
"The Mozambique shooting method is generally aimed at the chest and fired two shots, taking advantage of the short hitstun state after being hit, aiming to hit the head, completely stopping the possibility of him counterattacking, and Jimmy is obviously very confident in his marksmanship, and after firing a shot in the chest, he raises the muzzle, and his marksmanship is really good."
He sped up and came to the small room. "Look at this, Jimmy changed to a revolver before killing the last person, and the confession and video footage obtained from the mouth of the captured person confirm that Jimmy should be looking for a target in the room while moving, and hit the forehead with one shot, completing the kill."
Ryan paused the video and looked at Hughes and Peter, who was listening, "Although this is the first time I've seen this Jimmy, his appearance doesn't match the behavior in the video at all, and he looks like he's just a young agent."
This psychological quality, with more than one enemy, is not chaotic at all, and there are no mistakes in the whole battle, definitely more than many SWAT members, and even I doubt that the people on the HRT side can do this. If I were faced with this kind of scene, nine times out of ten I would be shot like Ruiz. ”
Hughes: "Well, you're right. Thanks, Ryan, I need you to come over tomorrow to participate in the questioning of Jimmy, and you can go back and get ready. ”
Ryan nodded, got up and began to pack up the tapes and the materials he had brought with him.
Hughes turned to look at Peter, "Don't reveal it to the outside world just yet." ”
Peter nodded, and returned to his office through the back door of the conference room.
Hughes got up and left the conference room, returned to his office, and began to gather the members of tomorrow's inquiry, this time involving not only Jimmy's shooting, but also Ruiz being shot, so it was not as internal as before.
Jimmy and the agent met again, and he tossed back and forth several times, but he didn't get Jimmy's house, and he was really embarrassed. Because the interval was too long, there had been some changes in the listing, so after the re-selection, the agent helped Jimmy to retrieve the information again.
After receiving Hughes's notice, Jimmy arrived at the office early the next day and waited for Hughes and their summons in the pantry.
"Jimmy, come here." Hughes shouted at Jimmy on the second floor, hooked his fingers, and turned into the conference room. Jimmy got up and buttoned up his suit, straightened his clothes, and went upstairs to the conference room.
"Good morning, everybody."
"Jimmy, put the weapon on the table." Hughes didn't sit Jimmy down, but gave a command that surprised Jimmy.
Jimmy took off the Glock holster from his belt, put it on the table, then pulled out the revolver and put it on the table, then unbuttoned his suit and sat down next to the conference table, opposite not three sessions, but directly sat five people, and one person sat at the other end of the conference table, with a pen and paper and a laptop in front of him, obviously taking notes.
Hughes opened his mouth to introduce everyone: "Special Agent Ryan Phillips of Queens, who is in charge of the investigation of this MS13 bar shooting; OPR's Agent Garrett Fuller, Federal Attorney Richard. ”
Hughes only introduced 3 people, and there was a man in camouflage uniform who was not introduced, and seeing him sitting on the very edge, he should have been in the audience.
Agent Ryan first introduced the circumstances of the case, and presented the testimony of the three members of the surveillance team who were kidnapped, which was a basic information about the case before and after, and then questioned the reason for Jimmy's shooting.
Jimmy: "I accompanied Ruiz into the bar and met with the leader of MS13, Ocelot, and Ruiz went into the small room alone with three people inside. While I was waiting, I heard a very muffled gunshot, which was certainly not Ruiz's when there were three people in the room, so I was very worried about his safety.
After entering the bar, I observed my surroundings, and after killing a few people, I entered the small room, where Ruiz was shot in the stomach and fell to the ground. ”
OPR's Agent Garrett Fuller then asked, "Why didn't you confirm first?" Instead, choose to shoot directly? ”
Jimmy looked at Garrett and replied: "Under the circumstances, I couldn't enter the room normally to confirm, there were two people guarding the door, they were both carrying guns, and the soundproofing of that room was very good, according to the sound of the gunshots, it was not certain that I could hear it inside, and it was uncertain whether Ruiz had a chance to reply."
The scene was very sensitive, and any action I made would cause the two guards at the door to notice me, and I could only choose the safest way to deal with it. ”
Garrett: "That's just your guess, not a reason to kill two. ”
Jimmy: "I'm sorry, as a field agent, this is the best judgment I could make at the time, I didn't just have to think about Ruiz's safety, I also had to think about my own safety, and I couldn't give up my best advantage and put myself in danger when facing two gang members with guns. ”
At this point, Prosecutor Richard spoke: "How do you know if the disappearance of the surveillance personnel was done by the MS13 people?" ”
After Prosecutor Richard spoke, Garrett stopped talking. Jimmy looked at Prosecutor Richard: "I received a call from Ruiz in the office, and when I arrived at the scene, Ruiz told me that he had arranged for a surveillance team to monitor MS13's people, and that he could not reach the surveillance team about half an hour before he informed me.
The current neighborhood is MS13's sphere of influence, and the only people who have the ability to kidnap the surveillance team before they can trigger the alarm here are MS13's people, and even if the people of other gangs have such ability, they can't do such things in their neighborhood. ”
Richard: "What is your relationship with Ruiz?" ”
Jimmy: "I moved to the Ruiz team in July, and then something happened and I was seconded to the field and left the Ruiz team. ”
Richard turned his head to look at Hughes, Hughes nodded, and Richard looked at Jimmy again: "Why is such a dangerous meeting, Ruiz didn't look for anyone else?" ”
Jimmy looked at Hughes, "Can you say that?" Hughes nodded, and Jimmy looked at Richard again: "I was involved in a case that Ruiz followed up before, when I killed several people from the Southern Dixie family, maybe Ruiz knew that I was better at fighting, so he called me to come over to support him." ”
After Jimmy finished speaking, Hughes added: "Richard, about Jimmy's abilities, I can tell you separately when I go back, don't think about it. ”
Richard nodded, ending his questioning as well.
Hughes: "Jimmy, you wait outside. The gun was left on the table. ”
Jimmy nodded and left, and Ryan left the conference table, walked over to where Jimmy had been, and gave the two guns to Hughes.
Hughes: "You've seen the video of the previous case, and Ryan also explained the video, and these two guns were used by him at the scene. Jerry, you check. ”
Hughes handed the gun to the man in camouflage who had not spoken all this time, he took the gun, took out the bullets first, and then checked the two guns, "No problem, they are all original, not modified, and the bullets are normal."
This revolver has fired at least 2000-2500 rounds according to the wear and tear of the rifling, and the rifling has worn out very much, it seems that this is his usual gun. ”
Hughes: "Do you have any other questions?" ”
Garrett: "I suggest that he undergo a psychological evaluation, and from the conversation he just had, he doesn't seem to feel anything out of the ordinary, do you feel it?" ”
Hughes: "I'll arrange it." Have more questions? Hughes looked at the others, and no one said anything more," then the inquiry ended. ”
Hughes walked out of the conference room with Jimmy's gun and found Jimmy in the hallway to return it to him, "You go back and wait for news first." ”
Jimmy nodded, put the gun away, and went downstairs to leave the office. The questioning was over, and Jimmy had just taken a taxi to see Ruiz at the hospital, and he hadn't seen him since the shootout, mainly to avoid suspicion, so as not to be accused of colluding confessions.
Buying a bouquet of flowers at a flower shop near the hospital, Jimmy arrived at the hospital empty-handed, Ruiz was only shot and sent to the hospital in time for treatment, which was actually not a big deal, at least much better than the people under Jimmy's gun.
After a few conversations, Jimmy got up and left, leaving Ruiz to continue his recuperation, he had been shot and was going to rest for a while.
(This chapter is mostly an explanation of the simplified version of the Mozambique shot I used in the previous chapter, just mixed words.) I didn't plan to write an inquiry at first, this paragraph is too boring, in fact, even those inquiry scenes in movies and TV series are generally completed in a few sentences, and directly give a result to mean that it is over, so I will try to avoid these links in the future. )
