There is still half a day left on the holiday, and Jimmy has nothing to do after he goes back, so he called Nia to ask about the situation, and he couldn't meet for two days off, and it was really hard to be a policeman. Nia is still busy with the case, has just been promoted to police detective, and is currently investigating the case with Chuck, so she doesn't have time to meet Jimmy.

The NYPD's police department is very busy, and there are always fewer federal cases than local cases, and of course federal cases are basically more serious, so even if Jimmy is resting, Nia's side can't keep up with him.

After returning to work, intelligence agent Nick gave Jimmy a very bad result.

In the past few days, Nick has worked part-time as a field agent, and he has conducted a detailed investigation of the man found in the video according to his own intelligence sources, but unfortunately, the clarity is not enough, and the face recognition does not match the specific person, so he can only rely on people to monitor the route to investigate, and for a few days, no similar person was found at all.

Nine times out of ten, the case was going to be put on hold for the time being, and Jimmy didn't expect to get bad news as soon as he came to work, and the good mood just after the vacation was gone.

Jimmy: "Nick, what did you investigate?" Is there a mark? ”

Nick took a map and gave it to Jimmy: "The red routes on this have all been investigated, the other parts have not been investigated, and this blue dot is the location of the video I watched that day." ”

Jimmy glanced at the map, well, Nick is very experienced, and has already circled the place between the traffic video and the store video, even if he estimates it himself, it is not a big deal.

Jimmy: "It's perfect, if you can't find it, I'll go to the police station and take a look, if there are really no clues, this case can only be shelved." ”

Nick nodded, he's been busy these days, Jimmy doesn't need himself for the time being, let's go back and have a good rest.

Jimmy took out the phone and called Old Man Chuck, "Hey, Chuck, have you received any clues about the taxi driver's murder recently?" ”

Chuck: "No, there's no time to deal with this right now, we're out there investigating the case, the child kidnapping case. Hang up if it's okay. ”

Jimmy: "Wait, kidnapping? Did you notify the bureau? ”

Chuck: "Agent Kimberly Rice has arrived, okay, let's take care of the case first." With that, Chuck hung up the phone.

Jimmy held his mobile phone and frowned, the child kidnapping case is a serious case, and the kidnapping of children is also a federal felony, if the child is killed again, it is likely to start indefinitely, there is still a death penalty in New York State, but it is not carried out much, it is really a big trouble, and it is not impossible to have another death penalty. Now the police bureau has been dispatched, and Agent Kimberly Rice, who specializes in kidnapping and disappearances, has been dispatched, which is already a big deal.

Forget it, I don't have a clue about the murder of my taxi driver, no matter what they are, Hughes will arrange it if they need support anyway.

Jimmy picked up the materials that Nick had sorted out, sat down and began to look at them, after all, after a few days of investigation, he had accumulated a lot of information.

Now it is possible to determine the characteristics of the suspected murderer, a white male, about 175cm tall, normal body type, wearing a black jacket, wearing a hat, and glasses when he did it, because it was night, theoretically it would not be sunglasses, so it should be a little short-sighted, the hairstyle is unknown, and the part of the cap is not visible at all, but at least it can be determined that it will not be long hair.

There is a surveillance restoration map, although it is not very clear, but the face contour is already there, if the murderer can be found in the near future, this surveillance video can also be used as auxiliary evidence, if the time is too long, it will be troublesome, as long as 1 month, people can gain a lot of weight, if he has deliberately changed his body type, it will be difficult to match.

According to Nick's survey of the residents in the surveillance area, the people in the neighborhood said that they had no impression of this person, and it was basically certain that this person did not live in the neighborhood permanently, and if he was indeed nearby, then it was nothing more than hotels and short-term rental apartments.

Jimmy took the photos and map, packed up the rest of the paperwork, put it on the table, got up and left the office. Born to work hard, let's go out and continue the investigation.

Bronx, this chaotic place, Jimmy really doesn't want to come, and every time he comes, he feels that his bottom line is lowering step by step. There are walking dead sucking too much on the side of the road, there are gangsters trading something in the corner, passing by the alley, you can see people lying on the ground, I don't know if they drank too much or were robbed, in short, after wandering around here for a long time, Jimmy feels that he doesn't know when he will be immune to these things.

Jimmy parked his car in the parking lot, got out of the car wearing sunglasses, and followed the map markers to start looking for hotels on the side of the road, of course, there are some unlisted hotels, which are not easy to find, unless Jimmy can find someone nearby to guide him, he doesn't know any of them.

"FBI, has this person seen it?" Jimmy went to a hotel, took out his ID and lit it up, then showed the front desk a printed picture of the suspect.

"No impression, detective, this is the first time you've asked, haven't you caught him yet?"

Jimmy looked at him with a frown, "Has anyone asked before?" Who? ”

"It's you FBI, too, at least twice, two different people, a young man and a middle-aged man, both white."

Jimmy nodded: "Keep an eye out, if there is any news of this person, notify us immediately, this is an extremely dangerous suspect." Did they leave you a card? ”

The front desk nodded: "I understand, it is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to ask you so often." ”

Jimmy retrieved the printer paper and turned to leave the hotel.

The information given by Nick did not include a list of all the people he asked, and it seemed that the scope of his inquiry had included the hotels in the vicinity, and Jimmy originally thought that Nick was not a field agent and might have missed it, but now it seems that the veteran intelligence officer is much more thoughtful than him. If that's the case, then there is basically no need to inquire about these hotels on the surface, and they must have been swept by Nick.

In order to be on the safe side, Jimmy asked about two more hotels, and sure enough, as he guessed, Nick had already asked them all.

Jimmy went back to the street, looked left and right around him, took out his phone and called Ruiz, who was undoubtedly the most suitable person to investigate some private matters.

Ruiz: "Jimmy, what's the matter?" ”

Jimmy: "Well, I'm investigating a case, do you have a reliable informant on Fordham side of the Bronx?" ”

Ruiz: "I'll call you later." After saying that, he hung up, he didn't ask Jimmy what he wanted to ask at all, this is trust, you must know that it is very difficult to develop an informant, if Ruiz directly asks Jimmy to contact his informant, it is equivalent to sharing his informant with Jimmy.

Jimmy put away the phone, took out his cigarette case, lit a cigarette, and stood on the side of the road waiting for the call. Soon, Ruiz sent a phone number and name, and he didn't call again, apparently Jimmy handled it all by himself.

Jimmy dialed the number, and a man's voice came out of it, and he seemed to be very irritable, maybe he was angry when he got up. "M*F*, who are you?"

Jimmy didn't care: "Seventeen, someone asked me to contact you." ”

The other side suddenly stopped talking, and some small voices came from the earpiece, and after a while, the person inside said, "Who are you?" ”

Jimmy: "Ruiz asked me to contact you, I need your help with something. ”

Seventeen: "Half an hour later, a coffee shop near the main entrance of Fordham University." With that, he hung up the phone.

It seems that this seventeen was on the phone just now, and he could hear the sound of running water, and his voice was deliberately lowered, it seemed that there were other people in the house, and it was inconvenient for him/her to hear it, and Ruiz, an informant, had a bit of a trick.

Jimmy took out the map and looked at it, it was still some distance from the entrance of the university, he went straight to pick up the car and drove to his destination.

Jimmy walked around the entrance of the school, frowning a little, there were two cafes very close to each other, not far from the main entrance, and he really didn't know which one Seventeen designated was. He could only park the car and wait directly for his call in the car.

After receiving the call, Jimmy walked into a café, and a bald man in the corner hooked his finger at him, Jimmy walked over, something was wrong, why did this person also use two fingers?

Jimmy: "Seventeen? ”

Seventeen nodded: "Your phone." ”

Jimmy took out the FBI's phone and put it on the table, he took it and dialed it directly, and then put it to his ear. "It's me." Seventeen only said that, and when the people inside finished speaking, he put the phone on the table and pushed it to Jimmy. Jimmy glanced at the call log, which was Ruiz's number.

Seventeen: "Tell me, what's the matter?" ”

Jimmy: "Confirm my identity?" ”

Seventeen: "Well, don't waste time, I can't be out for too long." ”

Jimmy took out a printer paper and put it on the table and pushed it to him: "This person is a suspect in multiple taxi driver killings, we determined that he came to Fordham according to the surveillance, but interviewed the people around him, and they all said that they had not seen him." I hope you can help to take a look around and see if there are any clues. ”

Seventeen took the printer paper and looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Map." ”

Jimmy pulled out the map that Nick had marked, "The red line is what we've investigated, but we haven't found anything. ”

Seventeen: "I remember, that's it, I'm leaving, coffee you please." ”

Seventeen took a sip of coffee from the table, got up and left. Jimmy didn't leave, the waiter came, and Jimmy asked for a cup of coffee and continued to rest here.

This seventeen is a bit interesting, using Jimmy's mobile phone to dial Ruiz's number, not reading it from the address book, indicating that he memorized Ruiz's mobile phone number, and he just glanced at the map and pushed it back, he must be very familiar with the neighborhood. He took the printer paper, and sure enough, Ruiz's people were reliable.

However, Jimmy still cared about his gesture just now, and hooked his hand with two fingers upwards to let Jimmy come over, this action Jimmy was too familiar with, when he was in the FBI Academy, many instructors greeted people like this, as well as Hughes and Peter in the Manhattan office, they also had this habit, and the gestures were the same.

This Seventeen, perhaps, is not Ruiz's informant, but an undercover agent in the bureau, and may even be a long-term undercover agent, and his actions are already gangster style.

It's kind of interesting, Ruiz has really a lot of resources in his hands, envy. Unfortunately, Jimmy still doesn't have the authority to recruit informants unless he pays for it himself.

After drinking his coffee, Jimmy got up and left the café, only to find that he had been labeled. A white ticket was clipped to the windshield wiper, good guy, Jimmy took a look, oh hell, he's received a ticket from someone else for the first time in years. When Jimmy came to the back of the car, he found that there was a fire hydrant not far from the rear of the car, and he didn't notice it when he parked just now.

Parking tickets in the United States still have to be dealt with, otherwise the white bill will become a yellow bill, the fine will be doubled, the insurance and driver's license renewal will be affected, and it may even directly become a pink bill, and the court will directly issue an arrest warrant, and leave a case record.

Don't be lucky, Lao Mei's agency will not forget about the fine, the fine record will always be kept, and the level will be further improved, many people have suffered a lot of this loss, so that they inexplicably put an arrest warrant on their backs.

Jimmy looked at the white ticket, sat in the driver's seat, thought about it, let's go back to the bureau first, there are no clues here for the time being, deal with this ticket first.

Jimmy drives the car distribution in the bureau, and most of the FBI's license plate numbers are camouflage license plates, which are basically not related to the current users, and can only be inquired internally, so how to deal with this ticket depends on the arrangement of the administrative department. In fact, the result is nothing more than paying for it yourself, or the vehicle management department of the bureau came forward to cancel the ticket.

Jimmy depressedly started the car, turned on the radio and listened to music, and rushed all the way back to Lower Manhattan. Before returning to the bureau, breaking news suddenly came from the radio: "Breaking news, the NYPD has just issued an Amber alert, an 8-year-old girl was kidnapped at the school gate, and now the relevant information about the little girl and the kidnappers is released......"

Jimmy immediately slowed down and stopped the car on the side of the road, his phone had just received a text message alert, but because he didn't have time to look at the car, because the phone was in silent vibration mode, he didn't hear the ringtone.

Amber Alert is a special alert notice that allows the police to apply for the activation of AMBER Alert when a child abduction case is confirmed, and the police confirm that the lead meets the standards recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Amber Alert uses the U.S. Emergency Alert System (EAS) to send out requests for help to the public through multiple channels such as the Internet, commercial radio stations, television stations, outdoor billboards, traffic signs, and wireless communication systems, and disseminate information about victims and kidnappers, relying on the power of the public to find missing children.

The U.S. Department of Justice has identified four standards for issuing alerts: the abducted person must be a child, aged 17 or younger, the judiciary must confirm that the kidnapping has actually occurred, the child must be in danger of serious injury or death, and there must be a detailed description of the kidnapped child, the kidnapping suspect, or the kidnapping suspect's vehicle.

Of course, in the actual implementation process, each state has its own issuance standards, and in many cases, warnings are issued only when the age and information are complete.

Jimmy listened to Amber's warning message on the radio, and then directly picked up his phone and dialed Nia's number, the call with Chuck this morning was not very pleasant, it was better to find Nia, at least she wouldn't choke people.

Jimmy: "Nia, are you dealing with that child kidnapping case?" ”

Nia: "Yes, Agent Kimberly Rice has authorized the release of Amber Alert, so I hope there's good news." ”

Jimmy: "How's it going?" ”

Nia: "It's not good, we only have the information captured on the surveillance, but the car disappeared after a few blocks, and there is no trace of them in the surveillance, and now the patrol has been arranged to check the place where they disappeared, and I have to rush with Chuck." ”

Jimmy: "Well, Agent Rice shouldn't be a problem if she's here, she's our bureau's expert on kidnappings. It's okay if you're okay, then you can keep busy, and I'll go back to the bureau first. Good bye. ”
