On the way back by Jimmy, he found that there seemed to be a lot of beautiful women in Manhattan, fashionably dressed and tall, and many people were walking on the road or standing on the sidewalk chatting in twos and threes, and it seemed that the streets were full of spring in the blink of an eye.

Well, the time came to February, and the New York Fashion Week, which has a history of decades, began again, and it was a pity that the temperature in February was still relatively low, and there were relatively few surprises.

In fact, there are not only beautiful women on the street, but also other strange shapes...... People, it's just that these are a little dirty eyes, and Jimmy basically filters them out.

Passing by an intersection, he saw a man on the side of the road playing the guitar in the cold wind, and although it was cold, several people were still around him listening to him. Yes, Fashion Week is a big day, and there will definitely be a lot of such street performers, will the person with the guitar be among them? Anyway, driving the car, and not tired, just wasting some gas, not a big problem.

Jimmy made a U-turn at the next intersection and drove around the neighborhoods from Lower Manhattan to get a general idea of where these people were, and that not all places in New York could do street performances.

After only half an hour, Jimmy decided to give up, although it was night, as long as there was enough brightness, there were many people gathered, and it was impossible to see it in the car, and there were too many strange species. Jimmy didn't discriminate against them, but he didn't conspire with each other, so I chose not to see it, right?!

Jimmy also gave up and drove straight home, this kind of investigation, the NYPD patrol officers are better to do, they patrol the streets every day, day or night, or give Chuck and their own headaches.

It's none of his business, and Jimmy is lazy and not as passionate as he used to be.

Two days later, Chuck came to the FBI office again, this time he should have contacted Hughes, and when Hughes informed Jimmy, he saw Detective Chuck at first sight when he came to Hughes's office.

Jimmy crossed his hands in front of him, said hello to Hughes, and said no more.

Hughes motioned to Chuck, who handed Jimmy a file, "Jimmy, there's another shooting, the deceased was a gang member, and we found the guitarist on surveillance. ”

Jimmy flipped through the file, and the front photo was of a Latina with no age, one shot in the chest and one in the head, the place of death was in a small alley, and the identification of blood stains on the ground should be the first scene. Flipping back the photo, it's still the same blurry surveillance, it's still night, and the person is still holding the guitar case.

Jimmy looked up at Chuck, "What about this person's background?" Does it have anything to do with the two deceased? ”

Chuck shook his head, "I haven't found out yet." ”

Jimmy looked at Hughes, and Hughes nodded: "Jimmy, you cooperate with Detective Chuck to investigate this case, and I will arrange for someone to temporarily provide you with D-level permissions to facilitate data query." Got it? ”

Jimmy nodded, "Understood." ”

He says goodbye to Hughes, and Chuck walks with Jimmy to his office.

As Jimmy walked, he asked Chuck, "Is it true that the three dead people can't find any connection?" ”

Chuck sighed, "If there are clues, even if the clues are small, we can chase them, the scene of the first case was cleaned up by the gunman, very professional, we did not find fingerprints, footprints, bullet casings and other clues, we can only find the basic information of the deceased, and there is no criminal record."

The environment in the second and third cases is even worse, people come and go, there is no monitoring at the scene, even if fingerprint clues are extracted, it is not certain whether it is the gunman's, as for their identities, the third case is a gang member, the composition is complicated, speaking of which the enemy must have it, but there is no way to check, there are too many. Now it will only depend on whether you can find out any information here, and your information will be complete. ”

Jimmy also had a headache, the more he looked at this case, the more he felt that it was a pit, he just pushed it out a few days ago, and was kicked back by Hughes. I didn't hide this time, this kind of case of three people being shot and killed in a row, strictly speaking, it is normal for the NYPD to throw it away directly, who let the FBI do this, the serial killer case naturally has a high risk, high transmission rate, and a series of problems such as imitation crimes, which are in line with the scope of major cases.

Turning on the computer, Jimmy re-conducted an in-depth investigation of the victim, and the data on the NYPD side is still on the low side, hoping to find more content here.

Jimmy inquired, the authority was insufficient, it seemed that Hughes's arrangement had not been implemented, he told Chuck about the situation, and asked Chuck to go back first, and when he found out the information, he would synchronize with him. Chuck can't help it, he can't find things without permission, he can only go back first, fortunately, now that the FBI is involved, he can find time to deal with other cases.

Serial killers are always the most difficult to deal with, especially in the first case, which seems to be professional, and even cleaned up all the traces left by themselves after the killing, this psychological quality is not something that a novice can handle.

Finally, the system permission is issued, and Jimmy can retrieve other relevant information in addition to the basic information.

The deceased in the first case, Diego Rodriguez, a Mexican-American and plastic surgery specialist, had his own studio, his family lived on Long Island, and he had an apartment in Brooklyn for easy work.

The information on the system is very simple, Diego doesn't have any criminal record, there is not even a traffic ticket in the system, it's just clean and excessive, Jimmy is ten thousand don't believe it.

Are there any people in the United States who have no criminal record at all? Of course there is, there are still a lot of them, but Diego is first of all Mexican descent, as long as he was not very rich when he was a child, he basically inevitably came into contact with gangs or gangsters, and usually some records will stay in the police information, and I have read too much information about gangs on Ruiz's side, and the people in it are almost the same, and there will be more or less records, but he is very clean. And as a cosmetic surgeon, he was shot and killed directly at home, and there was no burglary or the like, which means that the target of the gunman is him, then he must have done something unacceptable, such a person does not have any criminal record, no matter how you look at it, it is unrealistic.

The second taxi driver looked like it was an accident, and the system recorded that he was imprisoned twice for theft when he was younger, and that he had been driving a taxi ever since, which looked more like a normal American.

The third is a minor in the Latin Kings Gang, the only one in the system who has a record of being in prison, stealing, wounding, possessing contraband during his release on bail, etc., in his 30s, and has spent at least half of his time in prison since his youth. How can such a person be targeted and shot? Is there a gang fight? It shouldn't be aimed at minions.

Jimmy checked the information of the three people, and then went to Ruiz to find out about the situation on the side of the Latin king, Ruiz was also surprised, there has been no special gang fighting recently, he has no relevant information here, and needs to investigate again.

With Ruiz's help, Jimmy also has peace of mind, and the third case is put on hold first, and Jimmy decides to go to Diego's apartment, where the first case occurred. It's been almost two weeks since Diego was shot, and the scene must have been destroyed, but it can be observed to some extent, since it was a shooting, there will always be people around who will notice the gunshots, unless it is a reducer and a silencer.

Call Detective Chuck, but Chuck is out and has to contact another cop to accompany Jimmy. This is also the absence of Chris, otherwise it would be more convenient for them to go over and investigate on their own.

Jimmy drove to Diego's apartment in Brooklyn, where it looked like the doctor was indeed rich, Long Island had a house, and there was a three-story townhouse. Jimmy waited at the door for a while before a policeman drove over and opened the door with the key. There has been a murder here, Diego's family has been contacted, this apartment is temporarily unoccupied, need to wait for the results of the police investigation, although it has been two weeks, this apartment has not yet entered the scene of the destruction.

Jimmy's exploration of the scene is different from the others, he first observes the room with his mental eyes. Since he decided that this Diego was not clean, there must be something different in his home, which can be regarded as a testament to his free heart.

Soon, Jimmy discovers two hidden spaces, one in the study, the wall behind the bookshelf is shared with the bedroom in the back, but the wall thickness is unusual, reminding Jimmy of the wall mezzanine he once found in the haunted Roman villa on Long Island, this thickness at least indicates that there should be something like a safe inside, or simply a storage space.

The other is on the second floor, and the mezzanine of the wall found on the first floor extends to the second floor, but it is separated from the first floor, and the space on the second floor looks empty, and there are some things in it, but I am not sure what it is.

Thanks to the soft decoration in these houses in the United States, many people like to use wooden frames to build partition walls to isolate the space here, and people who are not familiar with the room layout of the house will only feel that the room is a little small, and it is not easy to find that there is a problem with the wall.

Jimmy continued to observe, and had already noticed an anomaly, but where was the entrance? The eye of the heart is still not as direct as the direct vision, and in the state of the wall isolation, he has not yet discovered where the door to enter the inside of the partition wall is.

Another point is that Diego was killed in the living room, and he didn't have enough reason to go to the room inside to search carefully, which was also a nuisance. However, as long as the compartment is found, the reason can be explained at that time.

Jimmy said hello to the police and went into the study to investigate, he touched the bookshelf in front of the partition wall with gloves, and then looked closely at the ground, and finally found the problem, the bookshelf looked like it was placed on the ground, but there were slight friction marks on the floor on the right, it seemed that the bookshelf was moved to the right.

Jimmy tried to push directly to the right, the bookshelf shook slightly, but the position did not change, he looked behind the bookshelf, and finally found the position of the hook, pulling the hook position corresponds to a porcelain bottle on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf can finally be moved.

"I've found something here." Jimmy shouted, and the NYPD, who was standing in the living room, walked over, and he had seen the wall compartment for the first time.

Jimmy asked for a flashlight from the NYPD, and shone it in a width of tens of centimeters removed from the cabinet, there was only a hard suitcase here, and the space utilization was very poor, so wasteful. Jimmy complained in his heart as he observed, but unfortunately the apartment he bought now couldn't do this, otherwise he could have made some space in the house.

The box was unlocked, and the lid was lifted slightly, and Jimmy took a look at it and closed it, there were two oiled paper packets in the box, one of which had been opened, and white powder could be seen through the crack. Leaving the entrance to the cubicle, he said to the NYPD, "Call Detective Chuck and tell him to come over quickly, there's something new." ”

Chuck didn't hand over the case directly to the FBI, Hughes also meant to let him assist Chuck, so Jimmy didn't intend to overstep his authority, this case doesn't seem to be a simple homicide case, and there is probably a big fish in the back. However, this case may not be in Chuck's hands for long, and it should soon be transferred to the DEA's side, although the crackdown on drug dealers is also within the scope of the FBI's authority, but the DEA is more justified.

Chuck's side didn't delay, just half an hour later, Jimmy didn't say any more gossip, just took Chuck to look at the box, and the rest gave Chuck a headache.

Jimmy: "Chuck, I'd suggest an inventory of this apartment, it's just what I found, maybe there's something else I haven't found. You have a lot of people, so let's have more people to check together. ”

Chuck nodded, he still turned his head to look at the wall cubicle, he had just seen that there were no signs of turning in the room, and he had talked to Dr. Diego's family about not missing anything here, so they didn't investigate the room carefully, it seemed that there were a lot of things missing.

Jimmy: "OK, I think I'm almost done, and I'll leave the rest to you." Goodbye, Chuck. ”

Chuck reached out to shake Jimmy's hand and shook his head, "Thank you, Chris said you were great, I didn't expect it." It seems that we are really old, and the future is yours. ”

Jimmy laughed and said, "Don't compliment me, I'm just lucky." I've read a lot of information, and Diego's clean profile is obviously not normal, how can Mexicans not have any records of violations of laws and regulations since childhood? So guessing there must be something here that we overlooked before. By the way, you can also go to his studio to check it out, the focus is on patient records, and there may be gains. Also, the third deceased is also Hispanic, so you can also go and investigate, it may have something to do with Dr. Diego. ”

Chuck nodded: "Thanks, Jimmy, you go back first, I'll say hello to Hughes when I'm done here." ”

Jimmy nodded, turned and left Diego's apartment, driving back to the office. Now that you've found the problem on Diego's side, you may be able to find the guitar killer by following this direction.

Whether it's because of some drug-related business, or Diego's own doctors, this is a clear direction, I believe that the NYPD side should have gains, but no, the DEA side can also take over, their resources are not less than the FBI, and this is their area of expertise.

(On the fourth day, the antigen is still yin, and it can be basically determined that it is a cold, although the nose is still a little blocked.) Good luck. ）
