359 There is always a windfall
Jimmy's previous arrangement worked, the first to come to the news was Razor, Jimmy had called him before, he came back directly to that phone number, he already had the news, but to ask Jimmy to find him, but not in his underground casino, but to a gym.
Jimmy came to the gym, the razor had been arranged, Jimmy looked at the razor, took the towels, clothes and shoes handed by the waiter, went to the locker room to change a set of clothes, followed the razor to the boxing ring, and helped him put on boxing gloves alone.
This bastard, Jimmy cursed this guy in his heart, he actually made a surprise attack on himself, and didn't even give him time to warm up, if the clues were not clear enough this time, Razor would be ready to be retaliated by him.
Since the Black Rainbow was integrated into Jimmy, Jimmy's mental power has been growing steadily, although his body is not growing fast, but he has gradually made his movements able to keep up with his brain, so that he will not become a superman, but both his movements and reactions have improved a lot.
The Razor guy looks like a hobbyist at most, his movements are really not a big threat in Jimmy's eyes, and Jimmy just took advantage of this time to exercise, he used to exercise by himself, and now he has an activity sandbag that is not afraid of being beaten, and Jimmy can't ask for it.
Dodging a few straight and hook punches of the razor, Jimmy first blocked the blow with his left fist, and then hit the razor ribs directly from the armpit with his right hand, the force was not used too much, it was too easy to get into an accident, as long as it hurt him.
After a few blows, Razor took the initiative to stop, and he did not suffer any serious injuries, only the nose was punched by Jimmy, and the nosebleed came out of one nostril a little. As for Jimmy, he was much better, except for the beating and blocking of his arms, the rest was basically fine, and he didn't get hit in the face.
Jimmy, with the help of someone next to him, removed his gloves and came to the razor, where he was cleaning up the blood from his nose with the help of a person.
Jimmy waited for a moment and said, "Razor, tell me, what did you find?" ”
Razor pushed the person next to him away, letting everyone around him leave, and he looked at Jimmy, "I didn't expect you to be so good at fighting." ”
Jimmy: "I've trained, after all. Don't change the subject, let's say, what's the clue? ”
Razor: "We found a witness, he was sleeping on the side of the street, he heard a gunshot, it was very muffled, he saw the person leaving the taxi, white, not fat, about 170-175cm tall, wearing a baseball cap, black jacket, and glasses. ”
Jimmy: "Do you have any photos or videos?" ”
Razor: "No, only eyewitness accounts." Also, Diego was injured in a fight in prison before, and after he was released from prison two years ago, he found someone to get a license and started driving a taxi, as for whose path he took, it is still unclear. He died, and a lot of things are not clear. ”
Jimmy: "What about the witnesses?" ”
Razor: "Not with me, he's from Earl." ”
Jimmy: "Take me to him." ”
Razor nodded, and the two went back to the locker room to change before leaving the gym for Manhattan. In Chinatown, Jimmy, led by Razor, found a stronghold, which looked like a homeless shelter, and after passing through a hall, he saw a middle-aged man in dirty clothes in the back, maybe a little younger, but the beard was really hard to guess the age.
Razor: "Earl, he's the one who came to find the old ghost." You talk. Razor finished speaking, and turned and walked away.
Jimmy didn't have much to do with the homeless people in New York, but he still took out his cigarette case and lighter as he was customary, "Do you want one?" ”
Earl shook his head, Jimmy lit one for himself, and suddenly someone next to him said, "Yes?" That's my lighter. ”
Jimmy turned to look at the man in the corner, unfortunately, he had forgotten what the person who gave him the lighter looked like, and the homeless man's clothing was constantly changing, so he couldn't tell the difference. "Is that you? It seems that we are very fateful. Jimmy took out a cigarette and handed it over, and the man took it and stepped back into its original position.
Earl turned to look at him, the man shook his head, and Earl looked at Jimmy again, without saying a word.
Jimmy couldn't wait for Earl to speak, so he could only speak first, "I'm looking for someone who saw the murderer in a case of shooting a taxi driver the other day. ”
Still can't wait for Earl to speak, he just nodded, Jimmy was a little confused, "Oh, I forgot to introduce, FBI special agent Jimmy, who was in charge of the recent taxi driver murder case." ”
Earl tapped his finger on the ground, then turned away. It's such a big shelf, and I don't say a word. Jimmy frowned as Earl entered the back room, dancing as if communicating with another person.
Jimmy looked at the person who gave him the lighter next to him, who shook his head, and then sat in the corner, just looking at Jimmy, without speaking or making any other moves.
Why does this look so weird? Razor, that bastard isn't going to hurt me, is he? Jimmy's mind was spinning wildly. There are only three people here, and there are only two people in the room, one of whom is Earl who has just entered, so there shouldn't be much of a problem with just a few people themselves. Jimmy moved the fingers of his right hand slightly, allowing himself to relax a little more and make it easier for possible emergencies.
After a while, Earl came out of the inner room and walked to the location of the hall, Jimmy turned his head to look through the wall to see where Earl was moving, he beckoned someone to come over, and soon the two returned to the room where Jimmy was.
A homeless man who hadn't taken care of his beard and hair in a long time stood next to Jimmy, and the smell on his body was really bad, "What are you asking?" ”
Jimmy: "Were you there a few days ago when a taxi driver was shot?" ”
Tramp: "Yes, a white man, not very tall, with a hat and eyes, a black jacket, that's all. ”
Jimmy: "How did he leave?" Which direction? ”
Tramp: "Didn't notice, I didn't come out to look, I just saw him through the cracks." ”
Jimmy: "What did you take?" From the side of the dead driver. ”
The homeless man's eyes changed slightly, but he wasn't sure if he was thinking back to the incident or if he had something to hide, "No, I'll leave if I have a murder, otherwise there will be trouble." ”
Jimmy: "Will you recognize him when you see him again?" ”
The homeless man shook his head: "I only see his side and back. ”
Jimmy: "Did he bring any luggage?" What was he doing when you saw him? ”
Tramp: "No, empty-handed, he got off the passenger seat." That's it. The homeless man looked at Earl, who nodded before he turned to leave.
Jimmy watched their exchange and knew he couldn't ask anything more. But it's very interesting here, if in ancient China, they should be called beggars, there are a lot of homeless people on the streets of the United States, and they are inconspicuous, they can find many situations, but for some special reasons, few police people will go to them for clues.
Jimmy looked at Earl and frowned a little, this guy is very difficult, he hasn't said a word since the beginning. Earl picked his chin, and the man who gave Jimmy the lighter stood up, came to Jimmy's side, and gestured to the outside hall to leave.
Jimmy looked at Earl and said "thank you", then turned and left the homeless shelter. Standing next to his car, Jimmy turned to look at the shelter, there was a problem here, I don't know if there was any news from Ruiz. But not necessarily, Ruiz is in charge of the gang business, and for this kind of homeless person, it should not be involved.
I don't know if it's razor's face, Jimmy went well this time, Jimmy got in the car and went back to the bureau directly, intelligence agent Nick was still in his office, the case was not over, and the two of them were temporarily seconded.
Jimmy: "Nick, there's a new clue, and I need you to investigate a fourth case, a white male, a black jacket, wearing a hat and glasses, no backpack or anything like that. ”
Nick looked up at Jimmy, "Is the clue accurate?" ”
Jimmy nodded: "The informant provided that after hearing the gunshots, he saw such a person leaving from the taxi position." He is not tall, estimated to be 170-175cm. It's hard for you to investigate the surveillance footage before and after to see if you can find him. ”
Nick: "Understood, man, hat, black jacket. ”
Jimmy: "Thank you. ”
With that, Jimmy went back to his place and turned on the computer. He wanted to check the situation of the homeless in New York first to see if this beggar gang was in the system. A search of the organization in New York did not reveal the homeless organization, and it is clear that they have no status in the FBI at all, and their importance is very low.
Jimmy turned off his computer and went back to Ruiz with the same result. Ruiz was in charge of organized crime, mainly targeting gangs, and the homeless were not on his watchlist at all.
Jimmy was thinking about it as he went back to his office, which seemed to be a marginal area, and no one cared too much about it. If you can develop an informant and use the intelligence network of the homeless, maybe you will have an unexpected gain in solving the case in the future.
However, this is not something that a small agent can consider, Jimmy's current level is not at the level of an informant, and he can't apply for an informant fee.
Speaking of which, this guy Razor is very good, although he is only the boss of a small gang, but he can find witnesses in just two or three days, it must have taken a lot of effort to deal with it, this person seems to be really able to deal with it. For gangs, it's not an accident that they communicate with each other, the key is to be able to investigate things in a short period of time, this is ability.
Jimmy is also helpless now, there are too few clues, there is no way to continue to advance, and the investigation of the NYPD patrol police has not been answered, and I don't know if they have investigated where the driver picked up the guests.
Judging from the current clues, it seems that the murderer is not looking for someone, but more like a random killing. There is no pattern in the timing of these four cases, such as only shooting on weekends and the like, which seems to be very random, and such murderers are even more difficult to deal with, because there is no pattern.
If he only shoots on a specific day, it at least shows that the murderer has a pattern at all, and now the four cases are completely random, and there is no way to infer his identity, occupation, whether he stepped on the spot in advance and the like.
Also, the gunman used a pistol with a silencer, but the homeless man did not notice that he was holding anything, and it seems that the murderer's pistol was usually in his pocket or in his clothes, and it was not exposed, which is also important. It is obviously impossible to install a silencer in a taxi, and the driver is not a fool, and it is easy to observe the situation of the rear seat passenger through the rearview mirror, so he can quickly take out a pistol with a silencer while sitting, usually only in the armpit or in the inner pocket of his clothes, considering the length of the gun and the silencer, or take it out without attracting attention, this murderer must be a very skilled gunman, either he is a professional, or he practices regularly.
Jimmy simulated it on himself, and if he added a silencer, the action would be very large, mainly because he was not used to such a long barrel.
Nick's side quickly got the results, because there were certain characteristics, plus it was midnight, so the records of such people would not be troublesome to find. The person who photographed the characteristics of the homeless man under a surveillance near the place of death of the driver in the fourth case is still the same problem, only the outline can be seen, and the specific appearance cannot be seen.
All that's left is to track it down, and only two monitors have found his tracks, and then disappeared. Who would walk two blocks at midnight? Or a place of relative chaos like the Bronx. He must have hidden in a certain area after disappearing into the surveillance, otherwise no one would normally choose to go shopping at midnight.
Jimmy brought a map, marked the location of the surveillance on it, and then divided it into several nearby blocks, making sure that the surveillance at other intersections did not capture the person, and finally circled the location of two blocks.
After thinking about it again, Jimmy still decided to go over by himself, there was no specific search target, only surveillance screenshots, whether it was to arrange NYPD patrol police or monitoring team, it was inconvenient to deploy for a long time, or go and squat by yourself.
Jimmy confesses that Nick continues to investigate the other three cases and whether this person has been presented, and then leaves the office and heads to the Bronx.
Under surveillance of the murderer's disappearance, Jimmy pulls over to the side of the road, stands on the sidewalk and begins to observe the direction he left. This is an old neighborhood, as you can see from the fire escape ladder on the side of the house, all the houses here are from the 60s, and New York City canceled the outdoor escape ladder of the new house in 1968, so you can distinguish the age of the house from this point.
This kind of block is not a good place to find people and arrest people, because the escape ladder hanging outside the house will often become an escape ladder for criminals, and even if you don't pay attention, there will be irreparable losses. Jimmy can only take his time to look around and make sure he doesn't miss anyone who qualifies.
