Jimmy is anxious to deal with the bombing case, and another case related to him has also entered a critical moment, the squirrel who provided the second video has been monitored by Ruiz, because this is not a case, so there is no way to arrest him directly, but to monitor to see if he contacts people, investigate his relationship, and find out why he provided the video.

Ruiz's side was a troublesome affair, but it wasn't for nothing, at least it had been determined that someone had indeed contacted the squirrel, but it was just an anonymous phone, and there was no way to determine the identity of the other side.

Different cases and different processing plans can call on different resources.

After a few days of surveillance, the squirrel sent a big gift, and a person sneaked to the squirrel's residence at night, and then they drove out together not long after, and the surveillance team followed them to the outside of a house that seemed to have been abandoned for a while. The environment here is extremely poor, the walls are full of graffiti, and the roadside garbage is everywhere, so it doesn't look like a serious place.

The surveillance team secretly followed up and filmed the person the squirrel was going to meet, and handed it over to Ruiz the next day, much to his surprise, this person turned out to be an acquaintance.

Rena Franjes, the Dixie family sent to New York to expand business, the former superintendent of the Pulaski County Police Department, half a year ago, Ruiz had arranged for someone to follow him, because the surveillance team was caught by them, Jimmy also killed several of his younger brothers at that time.

I didn't expect him to run out of New York, and he is still here? At the beginning, Ruiz arranged for someone to investigate the escaped Reina and kidnap the FBI monitors, which would definitely not let him go, but he couldn't find it after looking for a while, so he thought he had run away at the time, so the investigation was canceled.

Ruiz didn't inform Jimmy, he was dealing with the bomb case right now, things were prioritized, Ruiz wasn't young and not that impulsive. He arranged for a second surveillance team to follow up with Reina directly, and the first surveillance team continued to follow the squirrel, although it is currently suspected that it was the video given by Reina, but it is not very certain. After Rainer is dealt with later, catching the squirrel will be done in the first trial.

Ruiz put aside other matters in his hand for the time being, and now he is fully committed to tracking down this Reina, since he is still in New York, it means that the Dixie family is likely to be expanding the channels in New York, so who will their collaborators be?

Italians are now different from before, when the family boss was forced to prohibit drugs, and now, there will be a lot of people involved, but as the former five families, their style is much better than many gangsters, Dixie, a group of notorious guys, should theoretically not cooperate with them deeply.

The Russians are mainly involved in the category of ordinary gangs, at most taxis, cleaning companies, food raw material supply, etc., and it seems that they have not been engaged in these things recently.

Does the group in Latin America have a traditional Mexican channel supply and expand the channel? If you want to investigate this, you may have to contact the DEA to see if they have any clues.

Ruiz has been following up on Reina's line in recent days, and Jimmy has never known, if he knew, it is estimated that he would have accelerated the bomb case a long time ago, and then came to cooperate with Ruiz, although most of the clues to the bomb case were handled by him, but he basically did not work overtime, plus the interrogation was mainly done by professionals from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, so Jimmy was actually not tired, and he definitely had some time to take out to get Reina.

Jimmy is now having a headache with the investigation of Noor, the mastermind behind the bombing, the apartment in Brooklyn has exploded, although he did not go to the scene to see, but according to the on-site investigation of the bomb disposal team, the apartment has been blown up, debris and dust all over the house, and even the apartment building has been judged by them to need a thorough inspection to determine whether it needs to be rebuilt.

The condominium management committee is already going crazy, because of this explosion, they have suffered heavy losses, and they still need to toss with the insurance company, and the general damage insurance company can pay for it, this Nima is the owner himself who planted a bomb in his own home, and it is basically certain that they will not care.

But fortunately, it was daytime, and the people in the surrounding rooms were not at home, otherwise, it is estimated that many people would be injured, and even death is not impossible. Of course, there are several other residents affected by the explosion who have been taken to the hospital for examination, at least so far there are no fatalities.

Jimmy and Riley are now rushing to Newark, where the bomb has been defused by Newark's bomb disposal team because of the advance warning, and they entered directly through the window to ensure safety, and after making sure the window itself is safe, they removed the entire window.

This Noor is really careful, he added a fuse switch on the top of the door, and when opening the door normally, you need to pass through the gap switch at the top of the door before opening the door, this set of settings should be the same as his side in Brooklyn, where the people from the forensic department opened the door after unlocking it, and directly detonated the bomb.

From this, it can be seen that he is indeed very careful, but he probably did not expect that someone would directly open the window.

Noor's house in Newark is a single-family apartment, with many rooms and a lot of space, and the number of bombs he has set up is also very large, just the bomb disposal team has dismantled at least 20 pounds of C4, these C4s are scattered all over the house with detonators inserted alone, once the electronic switch at the door is triggered, this can definitely blow the whole house into ruins, of course, his neighbors will also be unlucky, but it is estimated that Noor will not care.

The bomb was cleared, and before Jimmy and the others arrived, Newark's forensic agents had entered the house to begin collecting evidence. I saw a lot of paper ashes in the fireplace, and judging from the scene, it should have been disposed of before he left, and it is estimated that there is no written information found in the room. But after all, it was the place where he had lived for many years, and there were still a lot of things in the room, including the hidden weapon rack, and the safe that had been opened was empty, and it was estimated that even if there were important things, he took them with him.

When Jimmy and Riley arrived on the scene, they saw just that. I have to say that as the mastermind, Noor is really serious about his planning, and at the same time his habits are also very good, all kinds of furniture and items in the room are well organized, and when he decides to escape, he can eliminate all the evidence very quickly, and basically nothing is left.

Jimmy started to observe the room with his mental eye, not that he didn't believe in the forensic personnel's search of the room, but it was just his own habit, because hidden rooms and spaces and the like, as long as they were not solid, could basically be directly observed.

It was found that it was normal for this kind of house to have a basement, and the basement had been discovered, but Jimmy found that there was a space on the side of the basement, and it looked like the entrance should be just below the basement stairs.

Jimmy put on his gloves and opened the door to the basement, and when he came down, he took a closer look, and found a brick that could be taken out under the stairs, Jimmy pulled out the brick, and there was a groove on the side that fell into his hand, it seemed that this was it, as soon as he pulled open the hidden basement inside, it appeared.

"Riley, tell them to come down, there's a secret room here." Jimmy didn't go out, but shouted in the basement, and soon Riley came down with three people.

"Here, when opened, it should be a secret room." Jimmy waited for them to come before reaching out and tugging on the grooved handle inside, easily pulling open a secret door. The secret door was made of wood, but the outside was coated with a layer of cement, which looked like the wall next to it, and he was under the stairs in the basement, so if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all.

"Jimmy, how do you know there's a secret door?" Riley was surprised that the basement had been inspected by their men before they came, and they hadn't noticed it at all.

"It's a good judgment, even if Nur wants to escape, it is impossible to clean up the room so clean, there must be a hidden place to store some things, so that they can arrange for others to pick it up later or sneak back quietly to reuse it himself." Jimmy looked at the secret door that had been opened and casually returned.

"I mean, how do you know the secret door is in the basement?" Riley didn't let Jimmy go and continued to ask.

Jimmy rolled his eyes, it's annoying, people in Manhattan don't ask so much, hey. "Because this house, judging from the appearance and the structure inside the house, there is basically no room for a secret room, so if there is a secret room, it must be underground. All that's left is to head into the basement and look closely at the walls. The brick that could be pulled out was the clue I found. ”

Jimmy opened the door and gave way for the forensic department to enter, and it was better for them to investigate the evidence.

"Wow, big catch." There wasn't much space inside, only two people entered, and they took out the contents little by little and put them in the open space in the basement.

Jimmy looked at what they had brought out and was finally relieved. The first thing to come out of it was the map markers, the photos of the people pinned to the map, and the various routes. There were also some documents next to it, Jimmy picked one up and looked at it, it was a list of shipments, just go back and check with other exhibits and confessions to see if all of them had been collected.

There are also some religious items in the back, and it seems that Noor is still a devout believer, otherwise he would not have kept these in the secret room. For the United States, it is not much of a problem for some people to have different beliefs.

Although the person has not been caught, the evidence has been almost collected, and the case can be closed and submitted to the federal prosecutor, who will file a lawsuit against the person who has been caught, and a wanted warrant can be arranged for Nur to be arrested. For Lao Mei, transnational wanted arrest is not a big problem, especially the direction of Noor's escape is France, as the younger brother of Lao Mei in NATO, many things are easy to handle.

The people in the Newark office are more face-saving, they will sort out the evidence here and transfer it to the Manhattan physical evidence warehouse, so Jimmy doesn't need to wait here any longer, just go back and wait. It's not that he has a big heart, but he has already reported to Hughes, and Hughes has agreed to this plan.

Jimmy returns to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, where Gordon and Scott are still waiting for Jimmy's conclusions, and the case will be closed after Jimmy reports the findings to them and Noah in the conference room.

Scott and the others will start sorting through the evidence, the CTA will help send the few suspects who have been caught to prison for a while, and Jimmy will return to the FBI office after sorting it out.

Hughes had already been informed by Jimmy in advance, so he summoned some people to sit in on Jimmy's preliminary closing report, and Jimmy would just go to the conference room when he returned. Jimmy and Gordon went to the conference room before them, and after setting Gordon and them in place, Jimmy went to the conference room next to Hughes's office on his own. When Jimmy came to the conference room, he was shocked, Hughes, are you going to make trouble? I thought it was just a simple preliminary report, but now it looks like it's a bit of a big deal.

The conference room table was already full, and many acquaintances could be seen here, including Ruiz and Peter, Jimmy's two former leaders, and several team leaders he later worked with, among which the highest ranking should be Dave Hudson, deputy executive director, Richard Daddario, federal prosecutor, and Sarah Browning, assistant prosecutor.

When Jimmy entered the room, Deputy Director Dave raised his hand and applauded, and the others applauded, "Thank you, thank you." Jimmy folded his hands and bowed to everyone.

Hughes spoke: "Jimmy, let's get started." ”

Jimmy had only wanted to dictate the preliminary report, without preparing any materials, and now he could only stand at the conference table and orally recount the investigation that had taken place nearly four weeks before and after the case.

"Gentlemen, thank you for participating in the preliminary closing report of this bomb terrorist attack.

The case began with an accident a month ago, when my homicide team was notified of an NYPD case in which an independent investigative journalist, Ace Perino, died after a vehicle fell from the fourth floor of a parking lot. Out of sensitivity to the deceased's professional identity, Chris and I went to the NYPD to learn a little about the case, and found some anomalies from there, including damage to the back bumper of the deceased's car and the missing of the deceased's most important notepad, voice recorder, etc.

With the current suspicions, it was not possible to conclude that his death was a murder, so I went to investigate the situation of reporter Ash, and with the help of his girlfriend, I got a notepad with some sensitive materials on it. Because of the potential for the bomb, we then investigated the case and, with the assistance of the NSA, obtained the cell phone records of reporter Ash, traced Abdul from the parking lot records to Abdul, who murdered reporter Ash, and then arrested him with the help of the NYPD after investigating his car.

The first bomb was found in Abdul's car, which was also associated with a detonating device, and it was later determined that Abdul's car was the transport they had planned to use for the bomb.

After the first bomb was discovered, we contacted the headquarters, and eventually we worked with the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, and they and the NSA assisted us in investigating the communication records of reporter Ash, and using the phone records, we were able to locate Joseph Young, who was also the person in charge of transporting supplies.

In response to the interrogation of Joseph and Abdul, we cobbled together the death record of reporter Ash, Joseph Young accidentally met reporter Ash, and the two got along well, and later he sold the information to Ash and got Ash's clue fee. After Ash got the clue, he contacted the driver Abdul, but Abdul informed the mastermind behind the reporter Aish's contact with him, and at Noor's behest, Abdul caused an accident and murdered Aish. He was going to kill Joseph, but we found him quickly, which prevented him from making his next move.

According to Joseph's testimony, we found the warehouse of El Kroger, who was in charge of assembling the bomb, but what was caught in the warehouse was only a helper, not El himself. Based on the situation at the warehouse, I deduced that a second person existed, and based on the retention of materials, I deduced that the second person may have transferred some of the supplies, and then a bombing occurred in Brooklyn, and the suspect in the bombing, Joe Coleman, was later confirmed to be El Kroger's fake name. We also found the fingerprints of a person in the materials and equipment seized from the warehouse, identified as Javier Vance, a former DuPont employee who has been arrested and who acted as an intermediary in the verification of the procurement of materials and equipment.

With the assistance of the Newark office, we captured El Kroger in Rutherford and killed three of the people who assisted El in leaving, but unfortunately our interrogation came a little late, and the mastermind behind it, Nur Mohammed, had already bought a ticket and flew to Paris. We applied for a search warrant, searched his apartment and residence, had a bombing of his apartment in Brooklyn, seriously injured three of our colleagues, and then investigated the Newark house and found all the information about Noor's plot to plot the bombing in a secret room.

Based on all the information so far, the planning of this bombing was that Noor was responsible for coordinating all affairs, and he contacted Vance to act as an intermediary to procure supplies and equipment, which were transferred by Joseph to the warehouse in El for the extraction and assembly of bomb materials, and then the bomb was transported to the Empire State Building by the driver Abdul to detonate it. We arrested Abdul ahead of schedule, and based on various circumstances, we found the warehouse where the bomb was made, completely interrupting their plans and completely aborting a bomb terrorist attack that occurred soon after.

So far, it has taken nearly four weeks, and all the investigations in this bombing are nearing completion, except for the mastermind Nur Mohammed, who fled the country, and all the other people involved have been arrested. ”

Jimmy briefly described the investigation process once, mainly because he did not prepare more intuitive display content such as schematic diagrams or PPT, but just a dry description, he was very dissatisfied with his description, but others may not think so.
