Jimmy was a little dizzy when he looked at the information, the shadow of this zodiac killer case was always wandering in his mind, and he would unconsciously think of this case when he looked at other cases. Although his brain is messy, he always has to do the case in his hand. Now the key is that I am only one person, and I really need some help. He came to Hughes's office again, this time to apply for the support of intelligence officers.

Jimmy told Hughes about the current situation, and urgently needed intelligence analysts to help investigate the traffic footage before and after the taxi incident, etc., and he himself could investigate the interpersonal relationships of the deceased, so if Hughes didn't give it, the case could be dragged on for a long time.

Hughes didn't shirk either, and the temporary transfer of two people could still be done. Nick, a veteran intelligence officer, arrives at Jimmy's office with a trainee intelligence officer.

Jimmy: "Welcome, Nick, thank you for coming. ”

Nick: "You're welcome, the bomb last time was an eye-opener. Jimmy, well done, an accident can make a big case. ”

Jimmy laughed and said, "It's just luck." Alright, Nick, I need to ask you to help investigate the surveillance footage this time. Here are the files of four cases, you take a look at them first. ”

Jimmy handed the file on the table to Nick, who opened his laptop on the empty table and began to review the file with the probationary agent.

Nick: "Jimmy, you're looking into the footage of the intersection before and after these cases?" ”

Jimmy: "Well, because the murderers in the next three cases may have used pistols with silencers, and no one in the NYPD's investigation around the area heard the gunshots, nor did they see any suspicious people, so the footage we need to investigate may be a bit too much, and the whereabouts of the taxis need to be followed up, determine the time when the killer got on the bus, and then investigate from nearby." ”

Nick nodded: "I see, it's a lot of work, let's get started." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, I still need to investigate the deceased, call me directly if you have any news." ”

Jimmy thanked Nick and packed up and went out.

Having someone to help really saves Jimmy a lot of time, and Jimmy is more and more fond of the CTC's command center, which is very resource-saving and very convenient to centralize all the intelligence investigation capabilities and then arrange for field agents to go to the field. Unfortunately, there is no such place here in the FBI office, except to go to headquarters.

Jimmy first went to Diego López's house, Diego only lived with his unmarried girlfriend, here, he didn't find any clues, according to Diego's girlfriend, in the past two years, Diego has been driving a taxi very honestly, and has not interacted with the previous person, he has completely changed. Diego didn't have any special enemies before, and she hadn't heard of any arguments with him recently, so she had no clue as to who would kill him.

Jimmy said goodbye and left, and Jimmy certainly didn't believe her words. For the gang, it is very difficult for the members to break away, especially since Diego was a full member of the gang before, and he was not the kind of low-level horse boy. There are still a lot of possible people to deal with people like Diego, such as the enemies of the gang, or his former enemies, or impromptu robberies.

Unable to get any clues from his home, looking at the time, Jimmy went to Razor's underground casino again, this time he called Razor directly, and after a few rings, Razor picked up the phone.

Razor: "Who are you?" ”

Jimmy: "FBI, Razor, are you in the store?" ”

The razor brushed and hung up the phone. , it's too faceless.

Jimmy hung up the phone, came to the outside of the underground casino with sunglasses and knocked on the door, someone in the door came to open an observation hole, looked outside, Jimmy directly pasted the FBI badge on the observation hole, "I'm looking for a razor, open the door." ”

"Huh", the observation hole was closed, the people at the door ran quickly inside, Jimmy put away the badge, and waited for the people inside to come back and open the door. Gangsters are not stupid, the kind of situation in the movie where a random janitor closes the door and ignores the police is more to highlight the plot conflict, in fact, except for those who have a hole in their brains, most people will ask for instructions, not to mention that it is not the police outside, but the FBI.

Soon, the door opened, but he didn't let Jimmy in: "He's not here, please come back at another time." ”

Jimmy: "Call him and ask him to come over." With that, Jimmy turned and went back to the car on the side of the road.

Ever since he read the files of the Zodiac Killer case, Jimmy has a very strong sense of urgency, and he doesn't want his name to be associated with the current case and become a supporting actor in the next few decades. Even if this case really can't be solved, I have to work hard, even if the final result is really not good, at least I have a clear conscience.

Jimmy didn't know what was going on with Razor, but half an hour later, he was able to see Razor. Razor drove up to Jimmy's car, beckoned, and the two drove to a streetside green space.

The two got out of the car, and Razor stood in front of Jimmy: "Why did you come to me?" ”

Jimmy: "Your man was killed, I wonder what happened?" ”

Razor frowned: "My people? Who? ”

Jimmy: "Diego López, a taxi driver. ”

Razor shook his head: "No impression, he's not mine." ”

Jimmy pulls out half a piece of paper from the inside pocket of his suit and hands it to Razor, which is Diego's information in the system. "Help to check, he is also your Latin king's man, if it's not yours, go find out who it is, and who killed him."

Instead of taking the note, Razor looked at Jimmy, "I've already helped you once." ”

Jimmy nodded, the last time he caught the murderer of the corpse shredding case was the news given by Razor, of course, last time it was more about Ruiz's face.

Razor didn't speak, Jimmy didn't speak anymore, the two were about the same height, looking at each other's faces, and the scene was a bit stalemate.

After a moment's wait, Jimmy spoke first, though it was a bit of a sign of weakness. "In the past month, there have been four cases of taxi driver killings, razor, we want stability, anyone who breaks the rules is our enemy, and of course, it could be your enemy."

Razor was silent for a few seconds, "Was it you the last time the video was shown on TV?" ”

Jimmy almost didn't react, didn't the previous video have released his photos later? No, he said the second video, "You know that. ”

Razor reached out and took the note from Jimmy's hand, "As I said before, for peace, for friendship." ”

Jimmy: "You'll be rewarded. ”

Razor reached out to shake Jimmy's hand, then turned back to his car and quickly drove away.

Jimmy looked at the departing razor, this man is really a smart man, if he wasn't a gangster, maybe he could get ahead in other industries. The brain is clear, the judgment is very strong, and being able to be the boss means that the organizational skills are also very strong, of course, the start must be very dark.

It's impossible for such a person to be friends, but if he can stay so sober, as Jimmy's potential informant, Jimmy doesn't mind communicating with Ruiz to make his life a little more comfortable.

The FBI also has an informant fee, but Jimmy is not qualified to expand the informant at present, but Ruiz has enough authority, and with the relationship between Jimmy and Ruiz, it should not be a big problem to take care of a person without violating the principles.

Jimmy is back in the bureau, and now it's time to investigate the first three people, but unfortunately, those three people are standard wage earners, and there is no clear enemy in terms of identity. Jimmy took some time to visit the families of each of the three people, comforting them, giving them condolences, and then began to ask about them, as well as friends and people in dispute.

After visiting some of the deceased's friends, Jimmy eventually gave up on his efforts. Obviously, in these four cases, although it is uncertain, at least some of them were random killings, or robbery and murder, and there was no particular targeting. It is not even ruled out that the fourth case is the same random killing, only because of Diego's own character, which led to him being killed for a little more reasons than others.

After a few days of investigation, Jimmy still didn't have any clear clues, and finally he had to ask Chuck to contact the New York Taxi Drivers Association to see if they had received any clues recently. Jimmy himself is reluctant to come forward, and he doesn't want people to point the finger at him for the time being.

Intelligence analyst Nick has investigated the vehicle traffic records of the four deceased before their deaths, and the corresponding nodes and intersections have been marked, and Jimmy contacted the NYPD and asked their patrol officers to help them go to various locations to investigate whether there was any relevant street surveillance, or if anyone had any impression of the taxi and passengers at the time.

This part of the investigation requires a lot of manpower and time, and Jimmy can't rely on Chuck's connections to promote it, so he first found an acquaintance who worked with him in the NYPD before, contacted the police commissioner in charge of patrolling through her, communicated for a while, and also used Hughes as a weight to increase his own weight, and then he got it. Of course, this is without Hughes's knowledge, and I hope that the NYPD superintendent will not be careful to confront Hughes in person.

Things are all arranged, Jimmy can finally breathe a sigh of relief, this kind of case with no clues is too torturous, the New York Taxi Drivers Association has been interviewed several times, there were more than a dozen taxi driver homicide cases a year in the past, an average of a little more than one a month, and recently there have been 4 cases, the proportion is seriously exceeded, and the pressure on their side is also very great. Now taxi drivers in New York are already in a state of rumor, especially when the news broadcasts the death of the driver, and now the number of taxis after midnight has decreased a lot, and there are already citizens complaining.

Jimmy called Nia, originally wanting to ask her to meet on the weekend, but Nya turned out to be off today, so he made an appointment to eat at his house in the evening, and he came to cook.

Jimmy slipped off work early, he had already called a restaurant next to the apartment, and he was very familiar with it, and their Wellington steak was very good, of course, Jimmy chose them to help with the semi-finished products, and then take them back to the oven himself. By the way, I packed the appetizer roasted kelp, roasted pumpkin, and a portion of vegetable salad.

There are also macarons and puffs from the dessert shop next door, which Nia likes to eat, and of course she doesn't buy them from her favorite shop. Jimmy asks for an orange milkshake for himself.

In the evening, Jimmy opened the door and welcomed Nia, "Nia! Jimmy reached out and hugged Nia, and the two kissed at the door. After hugging and kissing, Jimmy takes Nya on a tour of his home.

Nia looked at the whiteboard on the wall of the study, on which were Jimmy's findings during this time, and of course there was no special conclusion. "Jimmy, how's the case going?" Nia is not the kind of stupid big sister who is in love, although she has a good background, but she also has real skills to be a police detective in the police station, otherwise, it is more convenient to be promoted to other management positions, and she is also a little concerned about this case that originally belonged to herself and Chuck.

Jimmy shook his head, "There are no special clues, the clues that have been arranged for someone to deal with are still being handled, and I am still thinking about the direction of the investigation in the future." Okay, let's not talk about that. Jimmy and Nia went back to the living room, poured the coffee they had prepared in advance, Jimmy asked Nia to wait in the living room, and went back to the kitchen.

Speaking of which, although the semi-finished product had been prepared in advance, Jimmy still spent a lot of time dealing with the follow-up, and placed it on the table, Jimmy took a bottle of red wine from the wine rack, and the two sat opposite each other.

Jimmy is a religious on the surface, and Nja has no religious beliefs, just to cooperate with Jimmy, the two of them held hands across the table and prayed before the meal.

"It tastes good, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good." Nia took a bite of the appetizer, complimented Jimmy, and then picked up the red wine and took a sip.

Jimmy: "If you like it." "This shameless guy directly regarded it as his own craft, and didn't mention buying it outside at all.

The two were chatting while eating, and Nia abruptly turned the conversation to Jimmy's family. "Jimmy, I haven't heard you talk about your family for so long, are you at odds with your family?"

Jimmy blinked, stunned for a moment. "How can you talk about this all of a sudden? Oh, it's not a conflict, it's that I'm only one person, and where I am, my home is there. ”

Nia: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that's the case. ”

Jimmy smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, birth, old age, sickness and death are things that everyone can't avoid, it's already a thing of the past." ”

Nia: "And where are you from?" ”

Jimmy: "Little Rock, Arkansas. I used to be a police officer over there. ”

Nia's eyes widened, Jimmy was the FBI, and his information was not available to the police department, and he couldn't find it.

Nia: "Police? I can't see it at all. ”

"Hahaha, it's only been a county police officer for 2 years, Sheriff James is very good to me, thinking about being away for so long, I really miss them a little."

"Didn't you go back and see them?"

"I went back last year and everything was fine. I was not like you, I was a patrol officer, and most of them were patrolling the roads. ”

Speaking of their common careers, the two gossiped about some interesting things about Jimmy's back then, and Jimmy strongly complained about the NYPD's car chase. As a member of the Arkansas police, Jimmy strongly spits on this scheme of comparing the size of a car's gas tank, and it is better to be reckless, clean and fast.

Nia is very interested, because when she participated in the police academy training, there was no PIT training at all, and there are few opportunities for high-speed car chases here in the NYPD.

Since Nia is interested, Jimmy doesn't mind, it's good to go back and find a chance to go to the police training ground to have fun, in fact, Jimmy hasn't moved much in the past year, except for a person who has been PIT by the follow-up police, and he has also been a little itchy.

After the two drank wine and finished eating, they sat on the sofa and watched a boring TV series, Jimmy's hands didn't listen to his head very much, and Nia only gave up after a little resistance, and did not refuse. Slowly, they disappeared from the living room.

Jimmy and Nyoa kissed and went to the bedroom, and with the movement of their hands, the two quickly became honest with each other. Jimmy wasn't the first brother, but Nia's movements made him feel that something was wrong, but now was not the time to think about it. Soon he understood.

"You're the first time?" Nja nodded shyly, and Jimmy kissed it.

The next morning, Jimmy woke up and looked at Nia next to her, kissed her on the cheek, then got out of bed to get dressed, cleaned up, and made breakfast.

Of course, Nia was awake, but she didn't get out of bed, but smiled and watched Jimmy get ready and leave the bedroom.

After a while, Nja changed her clothes, washed up, and went to the living room. Jimmy had spare towels and toiletries at home, otherwise it would have been embarrassing in the morning.

"Wait a minute, it'll be fine soon." Jimmy fried fries while frying eggs and bacon, and when they were ready, they were plated and brought to the table, and he took milk from the fridge and poured two glasses before sitting down with Nia.

Jimmy drove Nya home, where she had already asked Chuck for leave, so she would have a day off at home today. After saying goodbye to Jimmy through the car window, Nya went upstairs and Jimmy drove to the bureau to continue his work.
