Albuquerque's side of the matter has been settled, Jimmy can finally return to Dallas, all the inconvenient things are in the warehouse, he hasn't figured out how to deal with it for the time being, Justin has already been to Houston once, and it seems a bit of a fuss to let him come to Albuquerque again.

Jimmy dragged his suitcase to the airport by taxi, and skillfully showed his ID to fill out the form and got on the plane to operate, and returned to Dallas smoothly, checking in at the hotel next to the FBI Dallas office.

The next day, Jimmy changed his clothes early in the morning and went straight to Director Lambert's office.

Jimmy took the file to Director Lambert's desk, "Good morning, Director Lambert. Sorry, I didn't find a suspect in this eucalyptus. With that, he placed the file on Lambert's desk.

Lambert looked at Jimmy and nodded: "You've been out for a long time this time, it's been more than a month." ”

Jimmy also smiled: "The clues of this eucalyptus are too model, I found some possible clues, but unfortunately, I couldn't find them for a long time in Houston and Albuquerque, so I had to come back." ”

Lambert: "Well, okay, then let this eucalyptus go for a while, and you go to Agent Ray Hope first, and partner with him for the time being." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Okay, then I'll go down first." ”

Lambert watched Jimmy leave the office, picked up the file, didn't open it at all, and put it directly in the drawer. Jimmy has returned, indicating that his personal affairs have been dealt with, and the information he got before can be investigated and confirmed.

Lambert picked up the phone on the table and began to arrange an investigation, in fact, for more than a month, Lambert and they have not relaxed the monitoring of Jimmy's mobile phone number, but they don't look at it every day, and they will check it every few days.

Dallas, Houston, Laredo, Austin, El Paso, Los Alamos, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jimmy runs a bit more than a few places, and some places in the middle change the next day, as if they have been driving or tracking someone.

Lambert also paid attention to these places to see if there was anything special going on, and he didn't find someone to verify some information in time, mainly because he was worried that someone would interfere with what Jimmy was doing if someone investigated, and since he said let him do things, try not to interfere with him halfway.

Now that the matter is over, it is natural that it is time to investigate, and he is also curious about what Jimmy has been doing during this time.

Jimmy came downstairs, Ray was not in his office, Jimmy called, and sat directly in his office waiting.

It took about an hour for Ray to arrive at the office, and he beckoned Jimmy to his place, "Hey, Jimmy, is your eucalyptus solved?" ”

Jimmy shook his head: "It's too difficult, there are too few clues, and it takes a lot of time." Lambert asked me to partner with you temporarily, do you have any recent assignments? ”

Ray nodded, sat down and opened the drawer and pulled out a large folder, "Recently, I was dealing with a bank robbery, but I remember you were from the Homicide Squad in Manhattan, right?" ”

Jimmy nodded, "It's the murder team, but the other eucalyptus have been in contact with it." ”

Ray: "Okay, but you rest today, I have something else to take care of." This is the information of eucalyptus, you can take it back and take a look. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Okay, I'm still in the hotel next door, call me if you have something." By the way, help me apply for a car. ”

Ray stood up, "No problem, come with me." ”

The process went smoothly, and Jimmy felt that the people here in Dallas were very talkative, Ray just took Jimmy through the process briefly, and the executive just checked Jimmy's identity and gave him the key, so that he could immediately drive the car, an old fellow Victoria Crown.

Driving away from the FBI office, Jimmy went to buy some drinks before heading back to the hotel. Just by looking at the thickness of the folder, knowing that the eucalyptus that Ray was dealing with was not so simple, Jimmy opened a can of beer and opened the file.

The case happened at a bank in Princeton, northeast of Dallas, a few days ago, the bank was open for business, and at 10:13 a.m., a white male with a mask and a baseball cap walked into the bank, and at a counter, he took off his backpack and put it on the counter, then took out a note and handed it to the teller.

The teller took the note normally, only to see that it was handwritten: "Don't yell, I have a gun, I don't want to hurt anyone, please put the money in my bag." ”

The teller was startled and looked up at the man, his hand in his jacket and tugged out, showing the teller his pistol.

The teller did not resist and took out all the cash from the counter and put it on the counter, while also triggering the silent alarm inside the drawer.

The man took the money in one hand and put it in his backpack, picked up a gun and pointed it at the teller and took two steps back, then turned to the security guard, threatened the security guard to open the door, and rode away on the motorcycle at the door.

A few minutes after the robber left the bank, the patrol police had already arrived at the door of the bank, and after learning about the situation, he reported it while driving in the direction where the motorcycle left, but unfortunately, the location of the robber was not found.

The local police dispatched most of the police force to investigate the surroundings, and at the same time reported to the state police and the FBI, and confirmed the route of the robber's motorcycle through surveillance, but after leaving the city, the trace was lost, and the motorcycle license plate showed that the motorcycle and the license plate did not match, which was a carefully prepared fake license plate.

There are no simple bank robberies, and Jimmy has not experienced many bank robberies, but there have been at least 250-400 bank robberies every year since the 21st century in the United States, and the breakage rate is not high, only less than 60%, which means that there are at least 100 bank robberies every year that robbers cannot be caught.

Although he has touched the counter, because there are a lot of fingerprints on the counter, and they are intertwined with each other, it is impossible to extract independent fingerprints normally, and there is no way to determine his identity through this scheme.

And it is so well prepared, it is obviously a well-planned robbery, and it is very likely that fingerprints will be avoided through glue and the like, and relying on fingerprints is obviously unrealistic.

The good news is that he has put the bait banknotes stored in the bank counter into his backpack, and the serial numbers of those banknotes have all been extracted, and as long as these banknotes are in circulation, he can trace the source of the banknotes and reverse investigate the source of the banknotes, so as to get clues to the robbers.

The bad news is that if the robbers decide to seal the banknotes and not use them for a short time, it will be very difficult to regain them after a long time, because the circulation of U.S. banknotes is very efficient and the use of money across regions is frequent, and the amount of manpower required will increase exponentially.

The bank was not well prepared, and there was no dye pack at the robbed counter, and if there was a dye pack, after leaving the bank at a set distance, the dye bag would explode, dyeing the banknotes and the robbers' exposed clothes in various colors, thus exposing him completely.

Not all banks prepare dye packs, with data showing that only 30% of the banks robbed used dye packs, and many of them were found and discarded by robbers.

The eucalyptus was put aside first, Jimmy drank his beer and looked outside, or decided to go out shopping first, and buy two clothes by the way, Jimmy's clothes need to be sent to the laundry, and the change of clothes is not enough, of course, the main thing is the suit.

Jimmy had several identical black suits hanging in his apartment in New York, and this time, he only brought two with him, and his daily casual clothes were sufficient, but he still had to prepare one or two more suits for work to rotate.

Shopping is not Jimmy's strong point, because he buys things with a clear goal, but after seeing a cowboy hat, he bought a random one, speaking of which, when he came to the Dallas office before, Jimmy basically wore casual clothes and cowboy hats all the time.

To be on the safe side, Jimmy bought a black suit, which was not custom-made, but it was still quite suitable. Jimmy's suit is an American-style power suit, mainly to make it easier for him to wear a holster, the body line of the American suit is not so close-fitting, just enough to cover the holster and pistol under the clothes.

The next day, Jimmy came to the office again to wait for Ray's arrival, his hotel was a bit close to the office, and he would have been out of the house according to the working hours in New York.

Ray arrived after a while, "Jimmy, have you seen the file?" ”

Jimmy nodded: "I've seen it, but the robbers in the stall don't seem to have any clues, do you have any suspicions?" ”

Ray nodded: "The surrounding surveillance has been investigated, and people near the bank have also been investigated, and we have also released video photos of the suspect through the TV station to solicit clues." There is not much that can be done now, and the investigation will continue today in the direction of the suspect's escape. ”

Jimmy: "Is it just the two of us?" ”

Ray: "Of course not, there are a few detectives, and you can also send the police to help, okay, that's the task for today, let's go." ”

Ray and Jimmy leave the office, and Ray makes a few phone calls on the way to the parking lot, followed by a tedious and largely unproductive on-site investigation.

While Jimmy was assisting Ray with the on-site investigation, Lambert's investigation was also going on, and he was really surprised by the lot of information he received.

Now to investigate Jimmy's whereabouts and what he did during this time, the plan is also very simple. The whereabouts are mainly for the location record of Jimmy's FBI mobile phone, which can be directly investigated in the FBI data, and Lambert's permission is absolutely sufficient. The investigation is not troublesome, first, whether there are any homicides against gang members in the local area, and second, whether there are mass disappearances.

Because it was Jimmy who called him in Houston at night, he knew at the time that Atez Houston's power had been uprooted. Now that the investigation is re-investigated, among the people who have been reported missing by the police station, there are more than a dozen gangsters and gangsters with bad deeds who have disappeared for a long time, and the time they disappeared is basically the same as the time when Jimmy called to say that he had caught Morey Davis.

The same is true in Albuquerque, where the number of missing people is even higher, including more than two dozen people who have been reported missing, all of which occurred during Jimmy's time in Albuquerque, and again without any clues.

There have been shootings and disappearances in several other cities, but most of them have been single-incident incidents, without the widespread disappearances of Albuquerque and Houston.

What shocked him the most was that, according to the intelligence of the DEA informant, the Aztec boss Barrio committed suicide in his manor, and at the same time, more than 20 security personnel in the manor all died, according to the situation at the scene, it should be a small elite team that attacked his manor.

According to the information obtained from the informants, no more than three people raided the manor, and they all used silenced weapons, among which the weapon left on the scene was an MP7 with a silencer, which is not a common weapon for drug dealers at all, and is usually only used by special forces soldiers or agents on special missions.

Barrio's wife confirmed that one of the people who raided the manor had spoken, and it was confirmed that it was English, and they believed that the raid team had come from the United States, and as for the reason why Barrio was attacked, no one could say clearly. In fact, the DEA is under a lot of pressure right now, as many people speculate that this operation was a decapitation operation carried out by the DEA.

The informant's information is already very detailed, and although the results of their speculation sound outrageous, Lambert is basically certain that Jimmy did this, and the question is, how did he do it?

This is a cross-border raid on Barrio's estate, and it is very difficult to rush back to the country in time to avoid being discovered, and it is impossible to take the normal route.

Does Jimmy have the ability to raid the manor in the first place, and how did he cross the border and return?

Lambert remembered some of the speculations Hughes had given him, and that being able to do this level at the border would never be able to escape the relationship with the CIA.

Those missing eucalyptus also made Lambert very concerned, Jimmy was just a person on the move, and in every way, he shouldn't have the ability to deal with a dozen or twenty gang members at the same time.

Dismissing someone is a very technical job, far more difficult than killing someone. Even if Jimmy is already a senior agent, one or two people are not too difficult, and if there are many people, there is no way to hide it unless there is a professional to help.

Lambert had to wonder what kind of background Jimmy had on his side, and he could do so many things in such a short period of time, and the CIA's cooperation might not be able to do so many things.

The C.I.A. operates more in the country by stealth or impersonating other agencies, and the ability to have dozens of people disappear in a short period of time is definitely not their strong suit.

Lambert didn't wait for any other news, he called Hughes directly, and it was inconvenient to talk about a lot of things on the phone, so he could only invite him to fly to Dallas to meet.

Hughes also knew what Lambert meant by the call, arranged for other people's tasks, and directly booked a plane ticket to Dallas the next day, and in a club, the two old men met.

Hughes and Lambert chatted a few words, lit a cigar, and Lambert gave Hughes a document.

Hughes leaned back on the couch and looked at the time, place, and events recorded on the paper, and then these records were basically consistent with Jimmy's movements.

Hughes frowned and read the record, turning his head to look at Lambert: "So, he did all this?" ”

Lambert nodded: "There is no evidence, and there are no clues pointing to him, but the time, place, and people who are basically Aztec should be enough." ”

Hughes shredded the paper, picked up a lighter, lit it a little, threw it into the ashtray, and destroyed all the scraps of paper little by little: "Who else knows about these things?" ”

Lambert: "I don't know everything, but someone has been in contact with Jimmy, and it can't be ruled out that someone is interested in gathering some information." ”

Hughes: "Are your people involved?" Will it be exposed? ”

Lambert waved his hand: "Our people are not involved here, they just took over a gang leader from Jimmy. The participation of the CIA group is indispensable here, not to mention anything else, and the new Laredo thing is something that ordinary people can't do. ”

Hughes stopped talking, leaning back on the couch and smoking a cigar.

(Robbing a bank with a note may seem like child's play, but there are examples of real successes.) I sent it ahead of schedule today, so you can see it sooner. ）
