Jimmy honestly walked around New York for two days and didn't go anywhere, and he didn't contact anyone except Nia.

Waiting is always a headache, and Jimmy is in that phase right now. There is no public bounty, everything is arranged by Winston, who took the task, and where it is now, it is completely a black box.

Jimmy didn't have an informant on DC's side, and it was unclear whether he had done it or not, and this uncontrollable feeling made him very uncomfortable, and he missed Tom more and more. Tom seems to be able to find people to work with anywhere, investigate relevant information, and don't have to worry about being found and tracked down.

In fact, if you want to know their results, you can find Catelyn to investigate Sullivan, but this matter is not easy to open, if he asks, and the result of the inquiry is that the person is dead, then his suspicion will be completely confirmed.

Now he just asked Caitlin to check the information before, but he has not left New York, no matter what goes wrong, at least he will not be completely exposed, or there is no way to verify that he arranged for someone to kill him.

Jimmy changed into casual clothes and came to the bar, just to enjoy the atmosphere and let him relax. Today, Isaac, the manager of the bar, uncharacteristically sat in the corner and was drinking alone, which is rare, of course, mainly because Jimmy is not here.

Taking half a bottle of whiskey straight from Woody, Jimmy sat down next to Isaac, "Hey Isaac, why are you sitting here alone?" ”

Isaac looked up at Jimmy and raised his glass to touch it, "Boss, you've been very diligent lately." ”

Jimmy shrugged, and after a long time as he shook off the shopkeeper, Isaac didn't get used to it. "You didn't look good about taking a break recently, what's going on?"

Isaac sighed, "It just so happens that I need to take a few days off." ”

Jimmy: "Absolutely, but what's going on?" Is there anything I can help you with? ”

Isaac: "I need to go back and go with my wife." ”

Jimmy was full of question marks: "What?" I didn't get it. ”

Isaac: "She's going to be my ex-wife soon, and my daughter is leaving me. With that, Isaac picked up the bottle and poured himself half a glass, and then he was bored in one gulp.

Jimmy: "Why?" It's understandable that you were unemployed and had a bad life, and now your income is not low, how can you get divorced now? What did she think? ”

Isaac looked down at the cup and shook his head: "It's all my fault, it has nothing to do with her." I don't want to say it. ”

Jimmy took a sip of wine and shook his head speechlessly, it seems that Isaac has been the manager of the bar during this time, something has happened, nine times out of ten he has thought about it below, and it has been discovered.

Jimmy: "Okay, you go back to the housework, don't worry, I'll leave it to Woody for the time being, if there's anything on your side, contact me and I'll see if I can help." ”

After a couple of drinks, I greeted Isaac and was just about to leave, when suddenly the phone in my pocket vibrated and I took it out and looked at it, and Jimmy pressed the answer button: "Hi, Peter." Jimmy took his phone and sat down again, and Isaac watched Jimmy answer the phone and got up to leave.

Peter: "Jimmy, where are you?" ”

Jimmy: "What's wrong in my bar?" ”

Peter: "OK, wait a minute, I'll go look for you." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over." ”

Jimmy hung up the phone, still a little confused, Peter rarely contacted him, he had been out of the white-collar crime team for two years, and most of the time after that he met and greeted, and rarely came directly to him.

After thinking about it, Jimmy beckoned the waiter to get some snacks over, and it would be too boring to drink dry.

Soon Peter came, but with the advisor.

Jimmy stood up and greeted, "Hi Peter, Kavrey. ”

Peter: "Hi, Jimmy. ”

Jimmy beckoned, the waiter brought two more glasses, Jimmy picked up the bottle and poured it for the two of them, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?" ”

Peter: "Jimmy, what's the traffic going here?" ”

Jimmy spread his hands: "You can see if you look at it, the flow of people here is still very good." What's the matter? ”

Peter: "Well, I'd like to borrow your bar for a party." ”

Jimmy: "Work-related? ”

Peter nodded, and Jimmy looked at Kavrey, then at Peter, "Of course it's okay, time?" ”

Peter: "Next week, the time has not yet been decided, and we need to confirm the venue first. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Wait." He shouted at the bar, "Woody! Come on. ”

Woody turned to look at Jimmy, and when he waved, he put down his cup and walked over to Jimmy and them.

Jimmy: "Woody, this is Peter, he's going to have a party here next week one night, and you can support him later." Peter, you can contact Woody directly after you have decided to do so, Isaac, the manager here, needs to go back to his hometown to take care of household chores during this time, and he is probably not here for a while. ”

Woody reached out and shook Peter's hand, "Nice to meet you, Woody Boyd. ”

Peter: "Peter Borke. ”

Woody took out a business card from his vest pocket and handed it to Peter, then looked at Jimmy, "Boss, I'll go get busy first, you guys talk." ”

Jimmy nodded, Woody returned to the bar, and Peter looked at Jimmy, "Why don't you ask why?" ”

Jimmy shrugged and raised his glass to touch the two of them, "Why ask?" I've also been in the white-collar team for a few months, you need to do something, I happen to have a bar that I can use, and of course I fully support you. ”

Peter drank from the glass, "Thank you, Jimmy." Neil, is there any problem here? ”

Neil nodded: "It's not too much of a problem, but I need to adjust the arrangement when the time comes, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Jimmy: "It's okay, just set it up, as long as it doesn't interfere with the business in the future." Woody will cooperate with you. ”

Peter: "Do you want to participate?" ”

Jimmy: "Me? Forget it, if I'm there, it may affect your case. ”

Peter: "Okay, by the way, the bureau will take care of the cost after the fact. ”

Jimmy waved his hand: "It's okay, it doesn't matter. By the way, Neil, how long do you have left? ”

Neil blinked, as if he didn't understand, Jimmy pointed his finger at his foot, and Neil realized, "Oh, it's been more than a year, and it's been halfway there." ”

Jimmy: "Congratulations, you're close to freedom. ”

Peter answered: "Well, Neil has helped us with a lot of cases, and when he is free to leave, I may really not be comfortable with it." ”

Jimmy: "Hahaha, Jones will cry when he hears you." By the way, what about Jones? ”

Peter: "We're still working overtime, and we'll have to go back to prepare later." ”

Jimmy: "It's hard work, but it's still comfortable to take a vacation." What about Elizabeth? ”

Peter: "She's fine, thank you." ”

Peter and the others sat for a while, then got up and left, and Jimmy, who was fine, left to go home and rest.

In fact, Jimmy and they all know Hughes's thoughts, and Peter is his intended successor, which is already a consensus among these people who are very familiar with Hughes, but it is not clear why he has not taken over.

In fact, they have talked about this issue privately before, in terms of connections and personal ability, Peter is the top among the team leaders, especially the connections, most of the other people's relationships are in the Manhattan office, and Peter also has a lot of acquaintances at DC headquarters.

So whether it was a previous collaboration or a better relationship in the future, Jimmy would not refuse Peter's request. Besides, he didn't care much about this bar, he wanted to buy the bar because of Woody, not because he deliberately wanted to build a bar to make money, and it was good to have a special use.

He just said that he didn't want to be involved in Peter's case, which is a real idea, Jimmy has been in the FBI for a long time, and he has spent the time when he first came to Peter's office and didn't know much about anything.

The cases handled by Peter and their group are generally handled, and the suspects are not high-risk criminals, and most of the cases that Jimmy has handled over the years are high-risk crimes.

After that, Jimmy went to the bar every day, but he didn't drink too much, but Isaac was not there, and Jimmy had to come forward to cooperate with Woody to manage the bar, but after only two days, Jimmy couldn't stand it. There are too many idle chores in the bar, all kinds of inventory counts, all kinds of disputes that are inevitable in the bar, and there are people doing some illegal things in the corner and in the bathroom, Jimmy completely gave up after dealing with a few things, and left it to Woody to do it.

Finally, when Jimmy was about to break down, Winston's call came, Jimmy answered the phone excitedly, Winston didn't say anything on the phone, just wanted to meet Jimmy to talk.

Jimmy invites Winston to his bar for a seat, and Winston thinks about it and agrees to Jimmy's invitation.

Before the bar opened, Jimmy called Woody to get to the bar early, and then went downstairs to the bar to wait.

Soon Winston's Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, and Winston and Charon walked in one after the other.

Jimmy came to the door to greet him, "Hi Winston, welcome to my bar." This side please. ”

Jimmy led Winston to the corner where he used to sit, "Woody, two martinis." ”

Woody nodded and began to mix drinks, Charon put the briefcase in his hand next to Winston, did not stay, but turned around and sat down in front of the bar, "Ice water, thank you." "It seems that Charon is the driver, and for safety, he can only drink water.

Jimmy: "How's it going?" Winston. ”

Winston: "That's it. He picked up his briefcase, opened it, pulled out two photos, and handed them to Jimmy.

Jimmy took a look at it, in a car, two people fell in the back seat, judging from the photo, they should have been shot from the side, and very suddenly, they did not particularly resist.

Looking closely at their faces, Jimmy was sure it was Greg and Sullivan, and he put the picture on the table, and Woody came over with two martinis.

Jimmy: "Try my bartender's craft, I hope you like it." ”

Winston picked up a glass of wine and sniffed it, shook it, and took another sip, "It tastes good, you have a good bartender." ”

Jimmy smiled and raised his glass, then took a sip of wine: "Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I bought this place because of this bartender." Thanks, Winston. Did anything happen? ”

Winston: "No, everything went well. You're sure it's okay, I'm going to settle with the other party. ”

Jimmy: "Of course, I do. I hope Justin can send the funds over as soon as possible. ”

Winston nodded slightly: "You don't have to worry about Justin, he will take care of it, it should be in the next few days." ”

Jimmy: "Maybe a little presumptuous, can I ask who did it?" ”

Winston shook his head: "This matter needs to be kept secret, and after this time, I can introduce you to each other if I have the chance." ”

Jimmy: "Oh, there's no hurry, as long as it's settled." ”

Winston: "Okay, then that's settled, and I should go back." Goodbye, Jimmy. ”

Winston picked up his glass and gestured, then drank and got up, Jimmy also clinked glasses and took a sip, got up to see Winston leave, and watched them sit in a Rolls-Royce and leave, he returned to the bar, took the picture from the table, walked to the bathroom and lit the picture, and watched the photo burn before turning on the faucet and rushing into the sewer.

There was nothing special about what they said just now, and there was no need to worry that something would happen to Woody if he heard it. Now there are only four of them in the bar, and as long as the voice is not a whisper, it can basically be heard, so Winston and Jimmy's conversation basically tries to avoid specific names and events.

Jimmy said to Woody, "Woody, it's been a hard few days, and when Isaac comes back, he'll give you a break to rest." ”

Woody: "You're welcome, Jimmy. Are you staying? Or just go back? There are still 3 hours left until the start of business. ”

Jimmy: "I'm going back, I've been resting for a long time, go back and tidy up and get ready to get back to work." ”

Woody: "Okay, I'll leave it to me, goodbye, Jimmy. ”

Jimmy: "Goodbye, Woody. ”

Jimmy wasn't going to go to work right away, and now that something had happened to Greg, he had to wait at home for another day or two to see if there would be any follow-up.

Soon, Jimmy receives a call from Caitlin asking him to meet outside. It just so happened that Jimmy could confirm the movement through Caitlin.

In Central Park, Jimmy sees Caitlin sitting on a bench, reading a newspaper in her hand, seemingly unaware of Jimmy's arrival.

Jimmy sat next to her, "Caitlin, what's the matter with me?" ”

Caitlin didn't put down the newspaper or even turn her head to look at Jimmy, "You did the DC thing?" ”

Jimmy: "What's the matter?" ”

Caitlin: "Sullivan is dead, shot in someone's car three days ago. ”

Jimmy: "I didn't do it, I've been in New York all this time. ”

Caitlin: "Do you know who did it?" ”

Jimmy: "I don't know, I just checked the information, and I didn't have time to go to DC." ”

Caitlin: "Okay, that's going to be said to anyone. Nothing's okay, then I'm going to work, goodbye, Jimmy. ”

Jimmy: "Goodbye. ”
