450 Old Men
It's been two days, and Jimmy still hasn't found a way to come up with a reasonable reason for New Mexico to give the Manhattan office a reasonable reason for Jimmy to come over.
Finally free, and the news given by Tom also reassured Jimmy for the time being. A day without an ambush is a good day!
After two days of shamelessness with Nia, Jimmy finally got his mind on how to run. Unable to find a good reason to go to New Mexico, Jimmy finally decided to make a trip to Winston, but it would definitely be evening.
At noon, Jimmy was too lazy to go downstairs, so he ordered a takeout to be delivered downstairs, and when he returned to the office with the takeaway, the phone rang.
Lambert: "Hi Jimmy, how's it going?" ”
Jimmy: "Director Lambert, long time no see, I'm all right, how about you?" ”
Lambert: "Have you been available lately?" Interested in visiting? ”
Jimmy's mind was a little confused: "What's wrong?" Are there any eucalyptus? ”
Lambert: "Just be idle, I'll take care of the rest." ”
Lambert didn't talk nonsense and hung up the phone directly. Jimmy's phone call made Jimmy a little confused, and he definitely didn't call Lambert, so ...... Is there something going on in Dallas?
Two days later, Jimmy came out of the airport with his suitcase and took a taxi to tow his luggage directly to the FBI Dallas office.
After receiving Lambert's call, Jimmy began to prepare his luggage, since Lambert said so, then he must have a reason to get Hughes, so he just saved himself from going to Winston again, perfect, luck is so good.
Jimmy said hello to Ray, who had worked with him before, left his suitcase here, and went straight upstairs to Lambert's office.
One thing to say, the FBI Dallas office occupies a small building and is absolutely rich in space, so the independent office here really stands out with one word, "big".
Jimmy knocked on the door, and Lambert looked up at him, smiling, "Come in." You kid made a lot of news. ”
Jimmy smiled helplessly, it was impossible for Lambert not to know what had happened to him recently, for another person, five attacks in two months, and five completely different types of attacks, a memorial service would have been held a long time ago.
Jimmy: "I've been unlucky, nothing has been going well lately. As he spoke, he walked over to Lambert's desk and sat down in his chair.
Lambert: "Okay, don't be so nervous about coming here, you're also a senior agent, not the trainee agent you used to be. ”
Jimmy shrugged, "Director Lambert, what's the matter with me?" ”
Lambert shook his head: "It's okay, it's just for you to take a vacation and rest for a while." ”
What the heck? Jimmy is awake now, and although he has been on a plane for a few hours, there is absolutely no lake in the lake now. But when he listened to Lambert's words, he really felt that his brain was not enough.
Jimmy: "Why?" ”
Lambert didn't reply to him, but took out a box of cigars from the drawer, threw one to Jimmy, got up and went to the reception sofa area himself, cut off the two ends by himself, slowly roasted them with a lighter, lit them and handed them to Jimmy.
Jimmy, of course, came over and sat down on the couch, and although he had never smoked a cigar, he was very observant, and he did it in exactly the same steps as Lambert, and lit it and took two puffs and spit it out.
Lambert: "Looks skilled." ”
Jimmy: "The first time, I've never smoked before, I'm actually more used to flue-cured tobacco. ”
Lambert: "Do you have a goal for your business?" ”
Jimmy licked his lips with his tongue, he didn't know how much Lambert knew, and he didn't know where he knew it, so he had to think about how much he had to say.
Jimmy: "Several attacks were carried out by different people, one of them was the Azters, the Azts on the border. ”
Lambert: "Hughes just came over the other day, you know. ”
Jimmy nodded: "Just know, Hughes was out of the office for two days. ”
Lambert: "So don't be burdened, just do it, you'll probably be assigned some other business after this time." ”
Lambert took a puff on his cigar and looked at Jimmy, "I like you kid, no matter what happens later, enjoy this time." ”
Lambert leaned back on the couch, smoking a cigar as the cigarette rose slowly in front of him.
Jimmy was also smoking a cigar, and the original smile on his face slowly disappeared, what did Hughes say to Lambert? Lambert's words made Jimmy feel danger and a chill.
What did Hughes find? What Lambert means is that no one will restrain himself in revenge this time, but what will happen later?
Jimmy: "Let me come over this time, is it Hughes's idea?" ”
Lambert nodded, wondering what Jimmy could say.
Jimmy: "Can I know what Hughes said?" ”
Lambert shook his head, Jimmy probably understood, although he didn't say it, but the old man Hughes had probably guessed something, but he didn't go directly to himself, but arranged everything for himself. This old man!
Jimmy nodded, "Thank you, thank you." ”
Lambert nodded, he got up and went back to the desk, opened the drawer, took out two folders and handed them to Jimmy, "Alright, go ahead, do your thing." ”
Jimmy put his cigar on the ashtray, picked up the folder and said goodbye to Lambert, went downstairs to find Ray with his luggage, and left the Dallas office.
Jimmy opened a room in the hotel next to him and opened the two folders that Lambert had given. One is a file of a murderous eucalyptus, and the other is a clue to the suspect.
】
Jimmy placed the stall on the table, thinking about what Hughes had guessed.
The recent attacks are clearly in the style of the intelligence agencies, and there is no disputing this, as both Hughes and Mahon have mentioned before.
Such a person directly troubles Jimmy, but does not contact the FBI, that is a personal grudge or something wrong within the organization, and in either case, Jimmy must be from a certain organization, or previously from another organization.
But Jimmy's file is very clear, he really has no record of working in a special agency before, and when you think of Jimmy's strong marksmanship and fighting ability, the agency that has been looming all the time enters Hughes's mind.
Jimmy was obviously not trained as a general office employee, but most likely as a field agent, so why did he come to the FBI? What is the purpose?
Hughes must have been suspicious of Jimmy's intentions, but now it was clear that he wasn't going to have a direct showdown with Jimmy, and for some reason, he approached Lambert and gave him a suitable reason to leave Manhattan and come to Texas.
Jimmy reclined directly on the bed, everyone is an FBI, and the ability of the free mind must be full of skill points, in the case of so many doubts, I believe that Hughes's side is already basically certain.
Lambert is also an interesting person, and I don't know what kind of friendship he has with Hughes, which can make Hughes tell Lambert about his guesses. I feel that these old men of the FBI are very interesting, thoughtful, and have completely different personalities, but they can still become good friends.
Lambert's preparation for Jimmy was very complete, there was no task arrangement, just a eucalyptus, and he deliberately gave the clues, that is, to let Jimmy drag his time to do his own business on the grounds of investigating eucalyptus.
It seems that whether it is Hughes or Lambert, they have no intention of giving up Jimmy, so what he just said will adjust the business later, maybe it is to let Jimmy go to an idle department to rest, but I don't know how long he will rest.
No matter how much it is, now that Lambert has everything ready, let's take care of our own affairs.
It's certainly not realistic to go directly to New Mexico, so all you can do here in Texas is Aztec.
Jimmy got up and picked up his phone and called Tolsten and asked him to have dinner and chat with him after work in the evening.
Tolsten was still good, although he only worked with Jimmy once, and then he was very warm and easy to get along with, whether he was seconded in Dallas or on the phone. Of course, it still depends on the person, and people with Jimmy's personality obviously belong to him who are more in tune with him.
At dinner in the evening, Jimmy inquired about Aztec's situation by the way, DEA's people have been following them for a long time, but like the FBI, the small characters are not interested, and the big guys have no evidence.
Torsten and they were also very uncomfortable, they swept their stronghold a few times, but the gains were not too great, and they did not know the whereabouts of the Azter gang bosses.
They are too wide-ranging, from Texas to New Mexico, Arizona, California, and although there are not many people in various places, this group of people is ruthless, and the federal and local agencies here have to be very careful with their eucalyptus, and they are very prone to casualties.
However, there are some gains, Tolsten did not ask Jimmy in detail, but said that if Jimmy investigates something, he can synchronize the news with them, and if necessary, he can also call for support.
Although DEA is not as much in charge of things as the FBI, they are also very good at this kind of drug-related gang affairs, plus DEA has its own support team, so Tolsten still gives Jimmy face.
Jimmy also has this idea, and when necessary, he can be called to support, and he can also share some credit, and everyone is really good.
All went well, Jimmy was finally able to go back to the hotel for a good night's sleep, and then it was time to get ready, starting with a stronghold that Dea had already found.
The next day, Jimmy first went to a car dealership to buy a used car, hung a temporary license plate and set off, Dallas is the third largest city in Texas and the ninth largest city in the United States, such a place can not lack gangsters.
Jimmy drove to Winnewood, drove around the target area, and then left to find a place to eat and kill time, and then set off in the evening.
In the evening, Jimmy parked his car in the large parking lot of the mall and walked to the residential area.
Wynnewood is a large residential area, and Tolsten tells Jimmy that there is a local boss living nearby, and he is Jimmy's target.
"Dongdong", Jimmy stood on the side of the door and knocked on the door. There was only one person in the house, and it was a woman, which was obviously not Jimmy's target, and there was no human form in the other parts of the room, so there was no need to sneak in.
"Who's out there?"
"Is Salai there?"
Jimmy didn't even report to the FBI, he didn't plan to use the FBI identity, including the current clothes, which are all plain clothes.
The people inside came to the door and opened it, and an old woman looked at Jimmy and asked, "Are you?" ”
"I'm Nathan, a friend asked me to come to Salai, where did he go?" Jimmy gave a real fake name, which was a fake identity he had when he was a county police officer in Pulaski County, and of course this identity also had a real driver's license.
"Sa Lai went out to play, he hasn't come back for the past two days, and I don't know where he went." With that, the old woman was about to close the door.
"Wait, can you give me his phone number? I'll get in touch first. Jimmy said with a smile.
Jimmy's Chinese-American appearance is obviously a security bonus, a handsome Chinese guy, wearing casual clothes, obviously not the gangsters that Salai usually interacts with. The old woman looked at Jimmy, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Come in, I'll find it for you." ”
Jimmy thanked him, pressed the door against the side of his palm, pushed it open and entered the room, leaving no fingerprints of his own.
The old woman took her phone from the table, flipped out her phone number and reported it to Jimmy, who thanked him again and turned to leave.
Jimmy just adjusted the release briefly, changed his clothes, and basically didn't make any special makeup, because it was night, and he didn't find out that there was surveillance here, so Jimmy didn't worry about revealing his whereabouts.
Dallas is a big city after all, although the proportion of Chinese Americans is not high, but the number is not small, although there are not many cases like Jimmy who are alone on the street, but it is too small and not particularly conspicuous.
Jimmy got back to the car, and now he can't call Salai directly, it's easy to alarm him, so it's better to locate it first. At this time, I have to trouble Ma Hong again, and while the authority of the command center has not been withdrawn, I will help investigate the location of this mobile phone number again.
Actually, Jimmy could have chosen a more violent method, but that would be too easy to alarm them, and one or two less people would be fine, and if someone from a stronghold was moved, the leader above them would definitely find out that someone was targeting them.
After a night's rest, Mahon helped Jimmy determine his location after going to work, and his mobile phone location turned out to be at home. Jimmy didn't have much to say, just went over.
Jimmy knocked on the door, "FBI, open the door." ”
The old woman opened the door and was shocked to see Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Good morning, ma'am. FBI, come on, come out, let's talk. ”
The sound of "bang" came, and Jimmy had already noticed that Salai had jumped out of the window and ran out, and he did not enter the house, but chased him around the side. These residential areas on the outskirts of southern cities generally have more space, and many of them have backyards at the back, which are blocked by simple fences or even directly empty.
"Stop, or I'm going to shoot." Jimmy chased and shouted, Salai was probably too nervous, his shoes were not worn, Jimmy had already found that he had run away from a shoe, but after running less than 100 meters, Salai was directly knocked down by Jimmy.
Jimmy put a gun to his head, "Found you, Salai." Let's go, let's have a good chat. ”
Jimmy didn't handcuff Salai, but put his left hand around his shoulder, and the two brothers returned to the front of his house. Salai tells his mother to go out with a friend, then gets into Jimmy's used car and leaves.
No way, the gun in Jimmy's right hand never retracted the holster, and Salai ran straight from the bed just now, and he didn't even take the gun.
Coming to a grove in the suburbs, Jimmy asked Sa to get out of the car, and the two went into the grove, and Jimmy put a gun at Sa to make him sit on the ground, and then said, "Tell me, what do you know about Tim Spark?" And where is Bob now? ”
Tim Sparker is Aztec's second-in-command and the one who sent people directly to attack Jimmy, while Bob is Salai's upline, this guy has been lurking very well, and Tolsten has tried several times but failed to catch it.
Jimmy took Glock back, took out the python, and started the roulette game again, "Don't try to fool me, now, the game begins." ”
