Jimmy and Riley escorted Joe Coleman to the CTA building, where Kerry was already waiting, and he arranged for someone to take over the escort and tell Jimmy to go directly to Noah.

Jimmy and Riley arrive at the command center together, Noah is already here, and when he sees Jimmy and them, he comes out and takes them back to his office with Agent Gordon.

Noah: "Tell me about the situation. ”

Jimmy glanced at Riley, who was supposed to be seeing Noah for the first time: "This is Agent Riley Butler from Newark, and he is leading people to support our investigation.

On the street where the car disappeared, we judged that the car should have gone into the garage, so we inquired about the house on that street. At the door of Joe Coleman's house, we were attacked.

Joe Coleman was supposed to be about to run away, he got someone to drive a van over, and the people in the truck came into his room, and then as he was about to show us around the garage, the truck driver came out and shot Riley, and I shot him. Joe Coleman was wearing makeup, glasses and a mustache, and he was already cleaning up in his room and had found a bomb that hadn't been activated.

By the time we returned, the bomb disposal team had arrived, and the results were still unclear. ”

Noah nodded, "This person is handed over to Kerry, he will arrange the interrogation, you guys take a rest first, and you will be notified when there is news." ”

Jimmy nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when Gordon, who was following next to him, suddenly spoke, "Jimmy, apart from Joe Coleman, is there anything else to gain from the scene?" Like the people behind the scenes. ”

Jimmy shook his head: "The on-site evidence investigation was done by the Newark office, and I don't know yet. They hadn't finished checking it out when we came back. The three people I shot and killed may have a connection to the people behind the scenes, depending on their investigation, and the other is the van. ”

Riley next to him said: "My boss has already arranged it, and the evidence and intelligence in the back will be provided to you at the same time." ”

Gordon nodded, "Let's go, you guys go down there and rest for a while." ”

It's time to get off work now, but just caught Joe Coleman, a figure who may be an engineer, naturally there is no possibility of leaving work on time. Jimmy and the three of them went back to the room, and it was just a few of them.

Jimmy looked at the empty conference room and asked, "What about Scott, them?" ”

Gordon: "I'm going to investigate that Javier Vance, his information has been found here at the CTC, and he will be arrested when his identity is confirmed." ”

Jimmy took off his suit and hung it on his chair, untied his tie, and let himself relax. "Okay, then we'll have to wait. Riley, are you hungry? I contacted them to order takeout. ”

Gordon: "No, I've already arranged it in advance. He looked at his watch, "It will be delivered in half an hour." You can rest for a while. ”

Riley didn't have a rut, now that he had already called it, there was no need to choose, and the three of them sat down at the conference table and began to rest in a daze.

——

Jimmy already knew the interrogation style of the CTA, and they needed to check the results of the interrogation several times, so it wouldn't be so fast, but the results were quickly available from the FBI office in Newark.

Riley turned on the outplay: "OK, now I can speak." ”

"El Kroger is his real name, the house is registered in his name, and Joe Coleman is a fake name. We investigated his room, in addition to the bomb in the room, we also found some weapons and electronic equipment, the bomb disposal team has already dismantled the bomb, it is a 5-pound C4 bomb, the detonator has been inserted, but the timer did not start, so it was not detonated, presumably it should be intended to set the time when leaving and destroy the scene.

The three people who died were all black households, and their driver's licenses were all fake, and their fingerprint information was not found in the system. The van came from a rental car company and was rabbed by Sam Coleman, one of the three. The clue is interrupted here, as all three are dead, and it is uncertain what their final destination will be. ”

Jimmy: "What about El Kroger's experience?" Education, work experience, family information. ”

El Kroger is an Omani immigrant who immigrated to the United States fifteen years ago and settled in Detroit, first as a car salesman, and then moved to Rutherford, New Jersey, five years ago, and has since worked for an unknown number of people. He has no family, no criminal record, and the system shows that he currently owns a Los Angeles apartment in West Hollywood, in addition to Rutherford's property. ”

Jimmy: "This property is very important, the address is sent and we will arrange for someone to inspect it immediately." ”

"Okay, I'll send it right away. There are no other clues for the time being, we are doing fingerprinting on the items in the room, hoping to get something out. ”

Jimmy motioned to Riley, who said, "Let me know as soon as there's news." And just like that, the address was sent. ”

Jimmy looked at Gordon, "Gordon, we need to contact the Los Angeles office right away, since there is a bomb in Rutherford's house, El Kroger's house in Los Angeles probably has the same equipment." ”

Gordon nodded, he didn't look for Noah, but directly took out his computer, looked up the phone number of the Los Angeles office, and contacted the local director.

Jimmy looked at the time, and it was past 8 p.m. "Gordon, I guess there is no result today, I still have something to do in the evening, leave for a while, there is any news to call me."

Gordon looked at the time and nodded: "Well, don't worry, I'll take care of it, rest well." ”

Jimmy said hello to Riley and left the Counter-Terrorism Bureau.

This morning he also sent a message to Tom saying that he would see him in the evening and that he would not be able to release his pigeons.

Jimmy drove away from the CTC, messaged that number, and quickly replied. Jimmy brought two cups of coffee outside and headed home.

Soon, the doorbell rings, and Jimmy opens the door to let people in. Good guy, Tom's makeup is getting more and more outrageous, and now his image wouldn't have dared to put it in if Jimmy didn't know it was him.

He had messy hair, was dressed in casual clothes, but looked dirty, and was carrying a tattered backpack. In the past, although Tom was not young, his face looked smooth, but today his forehead and eyes are wrinkled, and he looks like a proper street friend.

"Tom, you're looking very chic today." Jimmy greeted Tom with a smile.

"Well, there's some investigation over there in Brooklyn these days." Tom sat on the couch, he didn't see it at all, and Jimmy didn't care, a little more dirt and dirt on the couch, and it was all over with a change of sleeve. He is still different from Lao Mei, he prefers to put a layer of cloth cover on the sofa, and when he cleans up, he directly dismantles the cloth cover and washes it, and the sofa below is wiped directly.

"Drink something?" Jimmy asked as he walked to the fridge.

"No, I'll just talk. Jimmy, you said last year that Jason Byrne was in Paris, right? Can you tell me your source? Tom refuses Jimmy's offer, and Jimmy doesn't stop and comes out with two cans of Coke.

"It's hard to say from sources, but I'm only sure that there was such a thing at the time, and although I don't know the name, there was a director who died in Paris." Jimmy had no source at all, it was something he remembered, and there was no way to say that.

Tom nodded: "I confirmed this matter, Jason Byrne is not dead, he should be hidden, but the director at the time, Conklin, had a problem, he died in Paris, and the bureau speculated that Jason Byrne should have done it." In the wake of Conklin's death, Senior Advisor Albert has reported that the stumbling block project has been discontinued, and you have not been activated so far, so you should be safe.

But what I'm worried about now is Albert, this guy is very problematic, although no one is really investigating him, but as far as I know, this old guy is not a clean person, he has your file in his hand, if he really wants to do something, he will probably use you, there are not many sleeper agents in the stumbling block, you should be the only one in the country. ”

Jimmy was speechless, "Hey, no one can stop you when you're really unlucky, unless you find a way to kill everyone who knows the stumbling block, there will be a day like this." Tom, if you can't do it, let him go. You'd better get your deal done first. It's been so long, have you figured out who's going to kill you? ”

Tom shook his head: "The relationship between the people at the top is too complicated, although many people have been investigated, but no specific person has been found." ”

Jimmy: "You deal with your business first, if no one is looking for you again, it's really not okay, it's just that, they're hiding so deeply, or you might as well change your identity and live again." I don't think James wants you to disappear anymore. ”

Tom was silent, if it weren't for the bitter hatred, who wouldn't want to live in peace?

Jimmy saw that Tom was no longer talking, and he told the current situation: "Tom, I'm dealing with the bomb attack on the Counter-Terrorism Bureau's side now, and I have been in contact with Noah Watson. ”

Tom stood up suddenly, "What? Do you say it again? ”

Jimmy: "I met with Noah Watson, there was a bomb attack that I was responsible for, and then it got so big that the CTA and the FBI worked together on this case. Now I see Noah Watson every day. ”

Tom sat down, "He didn't suspect you, did he?" How long have you been in contact? ”

Jimmy: "It's been over a week, and at the moment, he doesn't seem to know me at all, and he doesn't behave in any way. ”

Tom nodded, "Well, since that's already the case, we can only hope that he hasn't seen your file." Fortunately, you are a sleeper, and becoming an FBI is also a talisman. Now that you already know each other, then we don't want to meet at your house in the future, it is easy for you to become a target for some people. ”

Jimmy nodded: "You can determine the location later, I'll go find you." Seriously, wouldn't you consider retiring just like that? Meet James? James is retiring, so you can live closer to each other so that you can take care of it. ”

Tom shook his head, "I'll think about it later." You must pay attention to the CIA mobile phone not to turn on, do not install the battery, just treat it as if it doesn't exist. If someone contacts you, be sure to protect yourself. ”

After saying that, Tom got up directly, picked up his backpack and prepared to leave. Jimmy sends Tom out of the house and begins to clean up the living room, tidying up Tom's location, and wiping aside all the places he has touched to make sure that his fingerprints are not left.

The next morning, Jimmy arrives at the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, where Gordon and Riley are already in the conference room. "Hey, Gordon, Riley, you're here early." Jimmy greeted them and sat down.

Riley shrugged: "I don't have anything else to do right now but come over early." ”

Gordon: "Jimmy, that Javier Vance has been caught, he confessed last night, he was the middleman, in charge of procurement and inspection, and then the shipping was not handled by him. ”

Jimmy: "Hah, the first good news of the day. What about El Kroger who was captured? Did he confess? ”

Gordon shook his head: "This person is also a hard bone, but it should be soon, Kerry and they didn't go back at all last night, and they have been dealing with their affairs." ”

Jimmy: "Did the Los Angeles apartment be inspected?" ”

Gordon: "It was clean and nothing was found. Presumably, their target has always been New York. ”

Jimmy sighed: "When is it a head, this case is too troublesome." ”

Gordon looked at Jimmy and laughed, "It's already good, at least we've been moving the case forward, and without these clues, we're still looking around for bombs." ”

Jimmy nodded: "Now I just hope to get the camel's information quickly, find the mastermind behind the scenes, and we can close the case." ”

Riley interjected, "Jimmy, how long have you been working on this case?" ”

Jimmy: "It's been two or three weeks, this case is too complicated, we only had a little bit of clues from the beginning, and we pulled out a big fish little by little. ”

Before Riley could speak, Kerry entered the conference room, "Hey, guys, he's confessed, you guys should be busy." ”

Jimmy: "What's the result?" ”

Kerry looked unhappy: "The identity of the camel has been investigated. He put the folder in his hand on the table and pushed it to Jimmy, "John Bird, originally from France, came to the United States in the 90s and founded a consulting company whose main business is to provide American localization support to French companies. Of course, these are the contents of the archive.

In fact, his real name is Nur Mohammed, and his identity is made in France, so after coming to the United States, he has always used his French identity to act. The specific country of origin is unknown for the time being, it is speculated that it is Syria or a country in the Middle East, apparently they began to lay out the layout very early, and began to prepare for this case after receiving the order, in addition to using the people who were hidden in the country before, they also smuggled in a group of people from abroad, and the driver Abdul was the fake identity they received and arranged.

El Kroger is one of them, and an important backbone. The three people you killed were sent by Nur to pick her up. After you arrested the people in the warehouse yesterday, Elr came to the vicinity of the warehouse, and when he noticed the anomaly, he went back to clean up the temporary residence and arranged for the homemade bomb to be detonated.

Noor sent someone to pick him up to prepare to leave, but yesterday we were delayed for some time, and when I asked Noor to investigate just now, I found that he had bought a ticket for last night, had flown to Paris, and should have landed by now. Originally, El was supposed to be with him, and the tickets had already been booked, and it was estimated that he found out that El had not joined him, so he slipped away in advance. ”

“Fxxk！” Jimmy picked up the file and slammed it right on the table. "We've been doing it for so long, and the mastermind actually ran away?"

Kerry looked at the angry Jimmy and nodded, "Yes, it's already gone." If we hadn't investigated his entry and exit situation by the way when we inquired, we would have missed the air ticket. According to the airport surveillance video, at about 8 o'clock last night, Nur did board the plane and left. ”

Jimmy looked loveless, he had worked hard for so long, but all he caught were small fish and shrimp, and the most critical mastermind ran away, which was so uncomfortable that it was as uncomfortable as eating a lump of X.

Kerry: "That's the situation, it's time for you to go out, Noor has two properties and a company in his name, and these places need you to investigate and collect evidence, and the address is in the file." ”

Jimmy picked up the file again and looked at it: "Riley, he has a property in Newark, your territory, and another property in Brooklyn, and the company is in Manhattan. Gordon, you can arrange it. Jimmy closed the file and handed it to Gordon.

Gordon took one look, "Jimmy, let's go back and apply for a search warrant." Since the situation is already like this, let's go through the process and make it easier to apply for a wanted warrant later. ”

Jimmy nodded: "Okay, I'll go back to the bureau first." ”

On Jimmy's way back to the bureau, he received a call from ATF Agent Johnny Bullock, and the results of the analysis were already out, but it didn't make much sense, and could only be used as evidence to prosecute El Kroger, and everyone was caught, and a lot of things were icing on the cake.

Jimmy returns to the bureau and reports the situation to Hughes before applying for a search warrant. Jimmy had also been to the federal courthouse, and although it was the first time he had applied for a search warrant, he had not encountered any bullshit, and the judge issued a search warrant after checking the chain of evidence. The bomb attack was so big, even though the search warrant that Jimmy applied for didn't clearly state what he was looking for, it was still approved, which is a special case.

Theoretically, the search warrant should have a clear description, such as what to find, then the search warrant will specify some locations, and non-designated locations are not allowed to be turned. If you want to find an M16, you can't search for boxes that obviously can't hide the M16. Another example is asking someone to provide a mobile phone or computer, and you can't take away his USB stick or something. Of course, this is only a theory, and special cases naturally require special treatment.

Although the process went smoothly, it was still afternoon when Jimmy got the search warrant, and he made an appointment with someone from the Forensic Bureau in advance and went to Noor's office in Manhattan and his apartment in Brooklyn.

Jimmy didn't follow the Forensic Section, he just gave them a search warrant, and if the scene needed to be blocked, he would contact the NYPD directly, and then contact the field agents.

However, things don't go so well, and before Jimmy can breathe a sigh of relief, tragic news arrives. Noor's apartment in Brooklyn triggered the bomb fuse after the door opened, and the bomb hidden in the apartment exploded, seriously injuring all three agents of the forensic section, and the only good news was that the ambulance came very quickly after the explosion, and although the three people were seriously injured, at least their lives were saved.

Jimmy immediately informed Riley that the Noor house in Newark was now going to be cordoned off in advance, and that all the people around him were evacuated to wait for the bomb disposal team to inspect the room before investigating the evidence in the room.

As for the apartment in Brooklyn, we can only arrange for the identification experts of the bomb disposal team to go to the scene to inspect it, as for the evidence, there is no hope, the power of the explosion is not small, although the apartment building has not been blown up, but the room has been completely blown up, and there is basically no possibility of investigating the evidence on such an occasion.
