Jimmy didn't wait for the case that Chris arranged, and he didn't go to Chris to urge him, just a little bothered now, forget it, go back and think about it.

Jimmy went to Ruiz again in the afternoon, and came back with the files of T14, what is known is that they have two fixed warehouses, but whether they are poisonous or normal goods in them has not yet been determined, only one thing can be determined, their shipments have not decreased because of the last time they swept an empty warehouse, and they still maintain normal shipments.

As for the stronghold of T14, this must have been figured out, and the other is a suspected Scar's residence, in the middle-class gathering area of White Rock Town, Queens, but because it didn't follow very closely, it could only determine the scope, and did not locate a specific building.

As for the personnel, there are not many high-ranking members in T14, about ten, these people are usually scattered everywhere, only three people with their younger brothers follow Scar, and the place where they gather is still very gangster, speakeasy.

Speaking of which, gangsters really like to run bars, some are regular bars, they open up space in the back, and some are simply speakeasies, only for people around them to play, and the customers are basically people on the road or people around them.

Jimmy hung a map on the whiteboard and pinned various locations to it, scratching his head a little as he looked at the file.

T14 has never been famous, they really know how to survive for a long time, the more famous the gangsters, the more people will be targeted, so although they have a large number of shipments, they have always only done transit commissions, and do not interfere with the business of other gangs, so no one will come to them for trouble, but will try to cover them up. If it weren't for the fact that the undercover agent accidentally got the news, he didn't expect that such a small gang of only a few dozen people would be a drug artery entering New York.

Their organization is still very tight, and to be able to do such a transit business is still so hidden, there must be a strong discipline and constraints, so that these subordinates will not leak their mouths in front of others. Judging from the map, their base of activity is in the Bronx, but the two known warehouses are one in Brooklyn and the other in Manhattan, and Scar's residence is actually in Queens.

The biggest problem with this dispersion in various districts is that it is difficult to catch them all, and once there is a problem at one point, the rest of the place may quickly disappear after getting the news. Moreover, the warehouse is too far away from their base of activity, and it is difficult to have direct evidence to arrest them if they cannot be stolen.

After work, Jimmy drove home, took out two vacuum-packed steaks from the refrigerator and threw them into the sink to thaw, no way, for a profession like him, if he wants to buy fresh steaks, he needs to try his luck, because every day I don't know if I can get off work normally. Vacuum-packed steak is frozen, and although it will lose its texture, it will at least ensure that it can be eaten as long as it takes a little time to thaw.

Taking advantage of the time to thaw, Jimmy opened his safe, looking at a gold coin lying alone in it, Jimmy smashed his mouth, if he was richer, maybe Ruiz's matter would be simple, let others deal with it, at most it would be to leave an unsolved case, nothing more than one more file that no one else reads, more worry-free.

This road doesn't work, so we still have to think about the formal way.

The next morning, Jimmy returned to the office, and instead of going to his place, he went straight to Ruiz's office and sat down.

When Ruiz arrived, Jimmy pulled Ruiz downstairs again, and the two smoked in the middle of nowhere, and Jimmy asked, "Do you have any familiar gangs?" Someone who can work with us. ”

Ruiz shook his head, "Don't think about this, Jimmy, the bottom line is still there, don't cross the line." ”

Jimmy wanted to say, but Ruiz waved his hand directly, "Okay, don't say it, Jimmy, you have to remember that you are an FBI agent, not a gangster." We can deal with it within the rules, even if it is fishing enforcement, but we must not cross that line. Let's put this matter aside for now, don't worry, I've calmed down. ”

Jimmy looked at Ruiz, his face was expressionless, and he didn't look like he had calmed down and was about to put the matter on hold.

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll think about how to do it legally." ”

In fact, the biggest problem is that Jimmy does not belong to the Organized Crime Investigation Team now, if he is in the Ruiz team, just like the last time in the MS13 stronghold, although it is tragic, but it is completely legal and reasonable, they can concoct T14 in the same way, as long as they do it, the rest is to shake people to sweep the floor.

Unfortunately, this is not possible unless Hughes transfers himself back to Ruiz.

"Ruiz, you can ask Hughes a little bit first to see if you can get me back to your group, if you can, there will be no problem." Jimmy threw away the cigarette butt, stepped on it, and looked at Ruiz, who nodded, just thinking about Jimmy the person, his mind hadn't turned a corner somewhat, and now it was time to do something.

Ruiz didn't delay, went back to the office to check the schedule and the morning's tasks, and made sure that nothing was missing, so he came to Hughes's office.

"Hughes, are you busy?" Ruiz knocked on the door and walked into Hughes's office.

Hughes: "Ruiz, what's the matter?" ”

Ruiz: "I'd like to apply with you to transfer Jimmy." You know what I'm facing, there are too many gangsters on our side, and it's convenient to have him. ”

Hughes: "Ruiz, I think you know about the last incident, there were a lot of people who had an opinion, right?" ”

Ruiz nodded, and Hughes continued: "I can't put him on your side, it's too easy to get out of control, and once there is an uncontrollable event, it's easy for them to take advantage of it." ”

Ruiz was also unwilling: "But with him, he can definitely suppress quite a lot of people, make them sober and quiet." ”

Hughes shook his head: "I know what you mean, but Jimmy is not like you and me, you should have read his psychological intervention report, right?" In many cases, it is not a question of whether he wants to stop or not, but whether he will use excessive force. I put him in the homicide squad to avoid that, and we probably have the least number of cases here, not even the bank robbery squad. ”

Ruiz: "We can't limit ourselves like this, we can't deal with the mafia gangsters, we can't just rely on our ordinary agents to form such a suppressive ability." You know I've had a lot of easier handling a lot of cases since the last incident, especially when they know that I was there at the time. ”

Hughes nodded, "Of course I know, but if something like this happens again, it's easy to be targeted, what if, I mean, Jimmy is just transferred?" And even further, he was dismissed outright? Or is it sued for the abuse of force?

Do you think I'm going to know which group is the best fit for Jimmy? I have to protect him, this is a good seedling, and I can't let him be crushed before he grows. ”

Ruiz gritted his teeth and sighed, "Damn the OPR, they must be doing something to the devil." ”

Hughes immediately interrupted Ruiz: "Don't guess, they also do the investigation according to the norms. I'll try to get Jimmy exposed to as many other aspects as possible, hoping to learn more about different types of cases and people to help him mature as quickly as possible. Hey, he's still too young. ”

Ruiz nodded, said goodbye to Hughes, and left his office. In the end, it didn't succeed in achieving its goal, but it was understood why Jimmy was transferred back and forth, which can be regarded as a bit rewarding, but these contents must not be told to Jimmy. Ruiz went back to the office while thinking about his own business, it seems that T14 can only deal with it by itself, if not, transfer another monitoring team.

Jimmy returned to his place, and Chris handed him a case, "Jimmy, here comes the case you want." This is a case that the NYPD is working on, and you can go and get involved. ”

Jimmy had a question mark on his face: "What's the situation?" Why work with the NYPD on a case? ”

Chris: "We haven't had a serial homicide case lately, so if you don't want to work with them, why don't you go to another group and learn about it?" ”

Jimmy looked at Chris, he seemed to have a smile on his face, what does this expression mean? There is a conspiracy? Or do you just want to spend some time somewhere else?

Jimmy: "I'll take a look at the case first. ”

In the Chelsea neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen, a single mom named Heather lives alone with her 7-year-old daughter, who works for a housekeeping company. One day a week ago, after leaving home in the morning to take her daughter to school, she did not pick her up in the afternoon, and the teacher at her daughter's school called the police after she could not be contacted, hoping that the police would go to Heather's house to check on the situation.

However, when the patrol arrived at Heather's semi-basement apartment, there was no one in her house. After knocking on the door and getting no answer, the patrol officer reported the situation and finally chose to kick open the door and enter the house to check, but the situation at home showed that Heather had not returned home.

At this point, the case of Heather's disappearance was officially filed, and the police investigated Heather's family situation, unfortunately, she did not have registered relatives, only a 7-year-old daughter, and the father of the daughter is unknown. According to Heather's information, the police arrived at the housekeeping company to investigate whether Heather had been at work that day and whether other work had been arranged.

After Heather dropped her daughter off at school in the morning, she arrived at the housekeeping company, she had a driver's license, she drove one of the company's pickup trucks, and took two colleagues to the client's house to clean up, because she had a party the night before, so she needed more cleaning staff.

After the cleaning was complete, Heather drove back to the company, after which she left the company and never returned.

The NYPD called up the road camera next to the housekeeping company and couldn't find where she disappeared. The NYPD has conducted several inspections on the relevant sections, but nothing special has been found, and Heather has disappeared as if she had suddenly disappeared and never reappeared.

Jimmy looked up at Chris, "This is an ordinary disappearance, how can it be in our homicide team?" ”

Chris: "Now we don't have a case here, you can go to the scene of this case and investigate, just exercise." See if you can find any clues. ”

Jimmy looked down at the case file and felt a little toothache, I don't know why, I always felt that Chris was a little abnormal, even if we didn't have a homicide, how could we find a similar case, this kind of disappearance, or a case that the NYPD has investigated several times, where to find clues.

Putting the case on the table, Jimmy gave up, not quite believing that he could find clues from the scene that had been swept several times that the other officers hadn't. Chris didn't stipulate that this case had to be done anyway, so let's look at something else.

"Jingle bell" Chris's phone rang, and after he answered the phone, he called Jimmy and went to Hughes's office together.

Hughes looked at them and turned to Chris and asked, "Chris, are there any important cases being handled lately?" ”

Chris shook his head: "There are no urgent cases, do you have any cases to deal with here?" ”

Hughes: "Well, there's a request for assistance from the Secret Service at DC headquarters, the vice president is going to be holding a banquet in Chicago these days, and someone is trying to plan an attack on the vice president, and they've contacted the Chicago office. If your case isn't urgent, Jimmy, would you be interested in working with the Secret Service again? ”

Jimmy blinked, did he show his feet somewhere? Or is there something coming from the FBI's DC headquarters? Why yourself?

Jimmy asked, "Didn't they already contact the Chicago office?" Why do you need our support? ”

Hughes shook his head: "I won it for you, it's good for you to get in touch with some other businesses, how about it?" Do you want to go over? ”

Jimmy immediately stood upright: "I follow the leader's arrangement." ”

Hughes: "Well, you go back and clean up, report to the Chicago office tomorrow, and work with them to make arrangements with the Secret Service." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, is there anything else going on?" ”

Hughes: "No, go ahead." Chris, you wait. ”

Jimmy turned to leave Hughes's office, Hughes beckoned, he followed Chris to the window, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Jimmy?" ”

Chris: "What? You don't want him to change departments again, do you? ”

Hughes: "I know that there is no case on your side now, and there is no problem with such a person to dry for a few days, but it will definitely not work for a long time, and it is easy to raise people and waste them." ”

Chris: "You're really interested, you're so optimistic about him?" ”

Hughes: "yes, didn't you notice that he looked like a person?" ”

Chris: "You mean Peter? ”

Hughes nodded: "Well, except for being more violent than Peter." Like Peter, he was young, passionate, principled and flexible, compatible with anyone, and had excellent ability to handle cases. If I hadn't insisted, Lambert in Dallas wouldn't have wanted to give it back to me, that bastard boy who had discovered his characteristics in just one month. ”

Chris: "But he's not going to be able to get to the top of the house." Hughes, don't you think you're thinking too soon? ”

Hughes: "Who knows for sure what the future holds?" That's not when we have to worry about it. ”
