Jimmy drove back to the bureau, tonight's mission was not completed normally, but the duty still had to continue, Christmas Eve, the biggest trouble came from various bars and nightclubs in New York, and the NYPD colleagues also arranged for a lot of people to be on night duty today, so that they could solve various incidents throughout the city, and only major cases would contact the FBI to deal with them.

Jimmy watches TV in the office, yes, just watching TV, and the news is on a rolling 24-hour basis. Sometimes I have to admit that the TV station is really well-informed, a large number of paparazzi and freelance journalists who wander around the city to run the news, they are usually high-ranking witnesses, take pictures of the crime scene and sell it to the TV station, and sometimes the police station has not even confirmed the news, the TV station has already broadcast the live footage.

The ordinary riot did not give any picture at all, and there was no discussion, Jimmy listened to the broadcast on the TV, and opened the case report on the table, there are a number of cases that have been closed before, which Chris is familiar with Jimmy's practice, such an operation has been in several groups where Jimmy has stayed before, and it is standard.

At half past 12 o'clock in the evening, when Jimmy was reading the information, the TV suddenly came out with "breaking news", he immediately turned his head to look at the TV, the TV station suddenly broadcast breaking news in the normal program, it must be big news, enough for them to interrupt the content of the program that is being broadcast, this kind of news usually does not necessarily have pictures, but there must be first-hand news materials.

"Breaking news, there was a shootout in Times Square, judging by the gunshots, at least three gunmen were shooting, several tourists have been shot, the gunman has fled the scene, and the NYPD has arrived at the scene and is chasing the gunman. Please wait for further reports. ”

Jimmy puts the information down and continues to watch TV, but due to the lack of information, the breaking news has stopped broadcasting and resumed normal programming.

This kind of shooting is normally handled by the NYPD itself, but if the shooting in public has a greater impact, the FBI will definitely intervene in the investigation, and now I don't know who is arranged.

Jimmy had already gone to other offices to see, Hughes, the direct boss of several of their teams, had returned from work, Ruiz, the unlucky guy, had also gone back to rest after the search failed, and the few groups he was familiar with were now only holding on, and the rest of the departments had not cooperated much.

Jimmy waited for half an hour, but did not receive a contact number, it seems that today's riot has no part of his own, and someone has already arrived at the scene to deal with it.

In the morning, Jimmy had just returned to his apartment to get ready to rest when Chris's phone called. "Jimmy, you know about last night's shooting in Times Square, right?"

Jimmy drove it out, and said while changing clothes: "Well, I saw it when I was on duty yesterday, but no one contacted me to support, so I didn't follow up." ”

Chris: "There's work done, let's get back, we need to investigate." ”

Jimmy stopped what he was doing: "Chris, you know I was on duty all night last night, I need to rest. ”

Chris: "Come back first, it's a bit of a problem." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll be right back." ”

Jimmy changed his clothes again and drove back to the bureau, Chris was already waiting for him downstairs, and Jimmy didn't drive by himself, he sat directly in Chris's car, and he could squint for a while on the road.

"Jimmy, wake up, we're here." Chris shook Jimmy, sobered up a little, and the two got out of the car, and Jimmy realized that the place in front of him was wrong.

Jimmy: "Chris, aren't you going to Times Square?" ”

Chris: "No, the NYPD found a clue that two of the people who shot in Times Square had been here before, and they shot Joe Matthewson here first. ”

Chris took Jimmy and showed his ID and walked through the NYPD blockade to a townhouse.

NYPD investigators were collecting evidence in the apartment, and Chris took Jimmy to the body, and from the wounds on the body, he was shot in the head and chest, one shot each, cleanly.

"Is there any progress now?" Chris flashed his F.B.I. badge and asked an investigator with a badge.

"It was preliminarily determined that the murderer used a special tool to break the lock cylinder, and when he came in through the gate, the deceased heard the sound and got up to come here, and was shot by the gunman and fell to the ground and died. There were no traces of the gun, it looked like a veteran, they did not leave obvious fingerprint information, and 4 footprints were collected on the carpet here at the door, which looked like two people. The deceased also needs to be autopsied, and the warhead needs to be sent to the testing center to check the bullet marks. ”

When Chris asks about progress, Jimmy is already scanning the entire room. Although it seems that the gunman has a clear goal, shooting Matthewson here in the living room and then leaving, can Matthewson be a simple person who can be killed so directly?

Soon Jimmy found two safes, one large and one small, in the room, as well as a gun room hidden behind the wardrobe, which looked like there were a lot of guns hanging on it, and a few boxes underneath, presumably bullets.

Jimmy: "Chris, did this Joe Matthewson do a background check?" ”

Chris: "Not yet, what's wrong?" ”

Jimmy: "I think it's better to investigate his identity first, the identity of the person who can be assassinated must not be simple." ”

Chris nodded, and was about to speak, when his phone rang. Hanging up, Chris said to Jimmy, "Go, the gunman has been tracked." ”

The two got into the car and immediately rushed to Hell's Kitchen, Clinton, not far away.

Chris: "Last night the NYPD investigated the surrounding traffic cameras and identified two gunmen who had entered the Clinton district, and they searched the neighborhood early in the morning and determined that the gunmen had entered an apartment building. ”

Jimmy: "Two? I remember yesterday it was on the news that at least three gunmen were fighting, what about the rest of it? ”

Chris: "Dead, on a street next to Times Square, got 5 shots in the body, the fatal wound was in the chest, and it pierced the heart. ”

Jimmy: "Is there an investigation into his identity?" ”

Chris: "No identification, fingerprints erased, no documents on me." This is not a simple shooting, and you have to be mentally prepared that this case can be troublesome. ”

Jimmy nodded, and the car was parked under an apartment building, where two police cars were already parked, and four NYPD police officers were waiting for them downstairs.

Chris: "Are the gunmen sure they got into this apartment?" ”

A policeman nodded: "Sure, the two gunmen, wearing dark down jackets, dark pants and shoes, gloves and hats, the surveillance video did not capture the faces, but an old man in the apartment opposite said that he saw people dressed like this enter the apartment in the early morning." ”

Chris: "Did you go in and investigate?" ”

The policeman shook his head: "We are waiting for backup. ”

Chris: "You'll come in when the support arrives." Monitor the map to me. He took the two pieces of printer paper in the hands of the police, on which were the human figures taken by the traffic surveillance, but unfortunately he could only see the clothes, and the people could not see them at all.

Chris turned to look at Jimmy, "Let's go in first." ”

Jimmy nodded, he had already opened his eyes and began to observe the apartment, a 5-story apartment building, there are a lot of rooms, today is Christmas, many people are at home, there are people in almost every apartment.

The staircase of this apartment building is in the middle position, Chris stood on the staircase and glanced up, and instead of choosing to go up directly, he started knocking on the door from the first floor to investigate.

Chris and Jimmy stand outside the apartment door on the left and right, "Knock knock".

"Is anyone there?"

"Who's out there?"

"FBI, please open the door."

The door opened a crack, the burglar chain still hanging, and a woman looked out as Chris held up his badge.

Chris: "FBI Special Agent Chris, is there anyone else in your house?" ”

Woman: "I'm at home with my kids, what's the matter?" ”

"We're investigating a shooting, have you seen these two guys?" Chris took out the paper on which the surveillance footage was printed and showed her, and the lady shook her head.

"Thank you, please close the door and don't enter or leave for now." The lady nodded her head a few times and closed the door, and she could still hear the sound of locking inside.

Jimmy didn't give Chris a hint of danger because he had seen it in advance, there was also a child in the room who looked only a few years old, there were no other adults, naturally the gunman could not be in this apartment, Chris continued to knock on the door of the second apartment.

Jimmy turned his head to look at the other rooms, just now Chris had already said that he was the FBI, he had also lived in this kind of apartment, the sound insulation was not good, theoretically people in several nearby rooms could hear their conversations.

It didn't seem out of the ordinary, and soon all the rooms on the first floor were asked. At this time, the police outside also began to enter, reinforcements had arrived, and several police officers began to investigate on the 2nd floor under Chris's instructions, while Chris took Jimmy to the 3rd floor.

The NYPD knocking and shouting downstairs has alarmed the people on the third floor, and several people opened the door to look out, and Chris held up his ID and shook it: "FBI, we are investigating a case, please go back to your rooms first." ”

Well, that voice sent all the people in the hallway back to the room, and then Jimmy noticed that at least three of the people in the room were a little flustered, good guys, it looks like there are more than just two gunmen in this building.

Jimmy pulled out Glock directly, Chris still knocked on the door normally, just when he asked in the first room, the door of a room at the other end suddenly opened, and a person ran two steps to the staircase, jumped directly over the stairs, and had good skills.

"Don't move, FBI." Jimmy turned his gun on him, saw him descending the stairs, and immediately ran over.

Count him unlucky, Jimmy and the two of them are on the 3rd floor, and there are several policemen on the 2nd floor and downstairs, and this buddy who jumped down the stairs was caught by the police as soon as he reached the 2nd floor.

Jimmy stopped looking at him and turned to look at the other rooms, where someone was pouring something down the drain in the toilet, and in the other room, there were two people standing in the living room one after the other, pistols in their hands.

As for the other rooms, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Jimmy kept his eyes on the room with two gunmen, and he followed Chris to the outside of the room quickly, and when he knocked on the door, a gap was still opened, and a man greeted Chris with a smile.

Jimmy whispered to Chris, while pointing down from an angle that he couldn't see in the door, and Chris glanced at the black shoes and pants, and he immediately dodged against the wall next to the door.

The people in the door also reacted quickly, and as Chris moved, he had already raised his right hand hidden behind him, holding a pistol in his hand, and pointed it at Chris.

Jimmy had prepared it in advance, so he had already fired at the same time as the gunman raised his gun, and hit him directly through the wooden door, causing him to let go of the door and fall backwards against the wall, staggering backwards. Seeing this, the other gunman inside the door also started shooting at the door, but he had no vision at all, and the bullets that pierced through the door were not at all threatening to Jimmy and Chris.

"Shots were fired on the 3rd floor." The police downstairs heard the gunshots and began to move to go upstairs, while someone pressed the walkie-talkie and began to contact support.

Jimmy turned his head to see that Chris hadn't been shot, and he turned his head towards the stairs and shouted, "I need a shield." ”

The door of this apartment is equipped with an anti-theft chain, and it is no problem to kick it open normally, but there is a gunman inside, and it will definitely shoot if you kick the door directly, and the danger is still too great, and it is much better to have a shield.

Jimmy looked at the gunman inside, the gunman who was shot had fallen to the ground, and there was still movement, it was okay for the time being, Jimmy just concentrated his chest and didn't aim at the head, so he wouldn't die immediately.

Another gunman crouched next to him, aiming his right hand at the door, his left hand checking on him.

The policeman below quickly got a bulletproof shield from the car, and Jimmy followed the policeman and kicked the door, the burglar chain did not open, and the gunman inside fired first. With the blocking of bulletproof shields, it is not a big problem. After continuing to kick twice, the door opened, and both Jimmy and the police officer in front of him crouched down to reduce the exposed position, while the gunman hid in the next room.

Reaching out and kicking the pistol next to the gunman on the ground to make sure it was safe, Chris came in from behind them and they approached the gunman who had been shot. Jimmy patted the shield-wielding cop on the shoulder, and the two continued on, pressing directly against the bedroom door.

"Lay down your arms, put them down immediately." Jimmy shouted a few words before the gunman fired a few shots at the shield, walls, and floor, before he finally gave up his resistance and fired a shot directly into his own head.

"FxxK, what's going on? Call an ambulance. ”

Jimmy's mood breaks down after seeing the gunman in his bedroom commit suicide. This is the third time he has seen a gunman commit suicide in a desperate situation, are these people sick in the brain? Being caught is nothing more than being investigated, and at most staying in prison for a few more years, so why bother?

Jimmy put the gun away, and the word F came out of his mouth, and Chris was a little speechless when he looked at Jimmy from behind, he patted Jimmy, and then called the investigators to come to the scene to check.

As for the other police officers, except for two people who were left to watch the scene, the rest of the people continued to investigate the other rooms.
