Dave and Lucy said a few words, then took the phone and dialed out, as an FBI management, Dave can know a lot of things, because there are too many people involved, everyone at the scene is temporarily detained in Palm Beach, and news control is also carried out, in fact, the news of the shooting is not broadcast on any TV station.

It's just that now the police and the FBI agents from Miami haven't gone through all the interrogation process, and Dave hasn't gotten much useful information when he calls.

The police at the door had already reported that Dave had woken up, and soon two FBI agents came over, showed their ID and entered the ward.

Dave: "Lucy, you go out and wait a minute, let Jimmy in." ”

Lucy nodded, patted Dave's hand, got up and left the room, "Jimmy, Dave let you in too." ”

Jimmy nodded, he opened the door and entered the ward, and the two Miami FBI agents looked at Jimmy with a frown: "Are you?" ”

Jimmy flashed his ID: "Senior FBI agent Jimmy Young, from the Manhattan office. ”

Dave: "Jimmy is my man, let him sit in on it." ”

The agent nodded: "I'm David Taylor in the Miami office, and this is Kyle Williams." Deputy Director Hudson, please describe in detail what happened at the scene of the shooting. After speaking, he took out a small notebook.

Dave: "My wife and I came over last night for Daniel Rivera's charity dinner, and he set up a children's charity fund, and tonight we're hosting a fundraising dinner in his villa. ”

Dave glanced at Jimmy and added, "Don't record the following." Daniel Rivera, the son of Robert Rivera, has several businesses to his name, including a shipping company and a business think tank, and is one of the party's biggest donors. ”

Dave: "You can get the list of attendees for last night's dinner from Rivera, and there weren't a lot of people in attendance, just a few dozen.

At around eight o'clock, gunshots were heard on the second floor of the villa, and then from the direction of the beach.

We were in the backyard, and after the gunshots, everyone began to scatter and flee, and I and my wife were shot in the right shoulder from behind as we returned to the villa house to take refuge, presumably from the beach.

My wife and I hid in the bathroom on the first floor of the house, closed the door, and did not wait until the police arrived at the scene and were sent to the hospital for treatment. ”

David Taylor: "Mr. Hudson, can you identify how many gunmen there are?" ”

Dave shook his head: "No, in addition to the gunman, there are many people with gun-wielding bodyguards around the scene, and they are also involved in fighting back, so there is no way to judge." ”

David Taylor: "Mr. Hudson, did you shoot back?" ”

Dave: "No, we're here for dinner today, and we didn't have any guns with us. ”

David Taylor closed his notebook and nodded: "Thank you for your cooperation, we still need to question others, Mr. Hudson, I hope you don't leave Palm Beach for a while, we may need to do some evidence confirmation." ”

Dave nodded: "We are our own people, don't worry, I understand." ”

Jimmy watched them talk, very formal, no politeness, completely an attitude towards ordinary people's inquiries, and it can even be said that he deliberately did not do anything special, which was quite unexpected.

Although Dave is the deputy director of the Manhattan office, the person who is the deputy director of the office may be replaced to another office at any time.

But this has nothing to do with Jimmy, and after David and the two of them left the ward, Dave looked at Jimmy, "What's the news on your side?" ”

Jimmy shook his head, "I've never been to Miami, and I don't have any acquaintances here. The policeman at the door was very tight-mouthed and did not say anything about the investigation, and if I needed to know, I might have to go out and walk around. ”

Dave: "Go investigate, learn as much as you can, and don't trust their official conclusions." ”

Jimmy: "There's another problem, I'm still on suspension, and the badge and gun are all left in the Manhattan office, and only the personal gun is with me. Jimmy pulled off his suit and showed off his left and right revolvers, "I haven't been sure which new department I'm going to after two weeks of suspension, and it might be a bit of a privilege problem to come forward to investigate, and it would be a hassle if someone went to Manhattan to investigate." ”

Dave: "Go ahead, I'll settle your identity." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Okay." He turned and was about to leave, then turned back again, "Mr. Anderson, what about your safety?" There's no guarantee that the gunmen aren't coming for you. ”

Dave thought for a moment, "Let's wait until dawn before we go." ”

Jimmy nodded, "I'm right at the door, just call me for anything." ”

Dave: "You haven't slept all night, take a break, and do things tomorrow." ”

Jimmy smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm young enough to handle it." You have a good rest. ”

With that, Jimmy turned and left the room, still sitting in a folding chair. Solving the case is not the key, brushing up on good feelings is the biggest purpose of his visit this time, and it is also the purpose of Hughes arranging him to come over.

With the favor of the deputy director and the care of the upper echelons of the bureau, even if Jimmy is transferred to an idle department, he can still turn over and will not be left behind after being idle for a long time.

Jimmy understood what Hughes meant, so he was not in a hurry to solve the case this time, and honestly took Dave's safety as the first goal, and brushed up his reputation.

When Jimmy came out, Dave's wife, Lucy, returned to the hospital room, and the couple talked a few more times before resting.

Jimmy asked the policeman who was on a security mission next to him to rest for a while, he came to star, since the FBI people said so, of course the policeman would not shirk, sat on the chair against the wall and squinted, and soon the hospital room was calm again.

Early in the morning, Lucy gently opened the door, Jimmy turned his head to look, nodded, and continued to look left and right in the hallway, the policeman next to him was still sitting with his head tilted and sleeping, and Jimmy didn't wake him up at all.

In order to make himself look miserable, Jimmy didn't turn off his eyes all night, and now it looks like his eyes are bloodshot, and his spirit has to pretend to be a little sluggish, in fact, even if he stays up for another day, it is not a thing.

Lucy left for a while, then returned to the hospital room, Jimmy woke up the police to take a look, he went to the nurse's station and asked for the phone number of the restaurant next to him, and ordered a takeout to be delivered, of course, the policeman's share was also included.

When the takeaway arrived, Jimmy entered the hospital room with two large bags. "Mr. Hudson, ma'am, I ordered breakfast. I called it myself, and the security should be fine. ”

Lucy: "Thanks, Jimmy, sorry for the trouble. ”

Jimmy: "You're welcome. ”

Jimmy opened the bag and took two omelette sandwiches and coffee out of it, leaving Dave and Lucy to figure out the rest.

After a while, Lucy came out and called Jimmy in, and Dave was already sitting up, and the sandwich on the table was gone, only a cup of coffee.

Dave: "Jimmy, wait for someone to come and take your place, you can investigate first, I've already communicated with someone in the Miami office, and you can be a liaison in the Manhattan office to investigate the case." ”

Jimmy: "Do you have enforcement powers?" ”

Dave: "It's up to you, I'll make up a report later." ”

Jimmy: "I see. ”

Dave: "The head of the Miami office was Christopher Lee, and he was at the scene of the shooting. ”

Dave gives Jimmy his phone number and address, Jimmy records it on his phone, turns around and goes back to the door. After a while, two men in suits came to the door of the ward, and Jimmy confirmed the identities of the two with Dave inside, and he let the two men into the room.

The two new arrivals are the security company security guards that Dave has found, and they will take turns following Dave and Lucy, making sure that at least one person is by their side 24 hours a day.

Lucy was escorted for the night and needed to return to the hotel to rest, Jimmy got the taxi company's phone again from the nurses' station, booked a taxi, and accompanied Lucy to the hotel.

Jimmy didn't look for any more places and opened a room in the hotel, which was a bit more expensive, but at least it was convenient.

In order to make it easier to go out, Jimmy also filled in the information at the front desk and rented a car, and when he came out of the hotel room after taking a shower, the rented car was already parked in front of the hotel. High-end hotels are convenient, service is their real advantage, and there are really many things that can be done at the front desk.

Jimmy didn't choose to sleep in the hotel first, but went directly to the scene of the shooting, a large villa, the main building of the villa is at least 500 square meters, that is, more than 5,000 square feet, there are two small lawns in front, and there is a backyard in the direction of the beach, there is a swimming pool and a large grassy area, but the grass looks connected to the side, it is likely to be a public area.

There are already several cars parked in front of the villa, including several police cars, and the cordon is around the side from the front, which should be wrapped around the villa.

Jimmy flashed his ID and walked into the lobby of the villa, and saw a person with an FBI badge investigating the scene, he walked over: "Hi, I'm Jimmy Young from the FBI Manhattan office, who is Agent Christopher Lee?" ”

The agent at the scene turned to look at Jimmy, and when he saw Jimmy's ID, he reached out and shook Jimmy's hand: "Joshua Brown, from the Miami office." Li went to investigate the testimony of the personnel, but he has not come over for the time being. ”

Jimmy: "And where can I find him?" ”

Joshua: "The Palm Beach police station, the hospital, the hotel, a few places are possible, if you're not in a hurry, just wait outside." ”

Jimmy thought for a moment and nodded, he was not familiar with this place, so he rashly went out to find someone, and it was likely to run empty, "I'm waiting in the car outside, please let me know when he comes back." ”

Joshua: "Okay. He saw Jimmy turn around and went on investigating.

Jimmy didn't ask Joshua about the results of the investigation, his authority is severely limited now, and Dave, as the deputy director, can't arrange too much detail across offices, so Jimmy needs to wait for Christopher Lee to communicate with him when he arrives on the scene, and then he can go to someone else to ask about the progress.

Jimmy sat in the car, put on sunglasses to block out the light, and just fell asleep.

"Knock knock" Jimmy opened his eyes, and there was an old man standing outside the car, well, just a middle-aged man with a high proportion of gray hair, who looked like he should be in his 50s. Jimmy unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door and got out of the car, "Jimmy Young, from the Manhattan office. ”

Christopher Lee and Jimmy shake hands: "Christopher Lee, Miami office." You're coming quickly. ”

Jimmy: "I arrived early this morning and spent the night in the hospital. Lee, how's your investigation going? ”

Li: "I just finished the confessions of all the people involved, and I didn't have anything special to gain. Let's go in and talk. ”

Jimmy nodded, and followed Li into the villa, Li said as he walked: "Yesterday's shooting was considered the luck of those present, only two people were in danger of life, and now they are still in the hospital for first aid, and the others only 7 people were shot, and none of them were in danger of life." ”

Jimmy: "What about the gunslinger?" ”

Lee: "I'm not sure about the number of people yet, but it's conservatively estimated that there should be more than three people, one or two people were found on the second floor of the villa, and two people in the direction of the beach, one in a rubber boat and the other on the beach. ”

Jimmy: "Rubber boats? Did you find it? ”

Li nodded: "The rubber boat was found on the north beach, but it has been burned, and there are no clues available." There is only one surveillance camera that can be photographed where the rubber boat was found, but only two people can be seen, and it is not even clear whether they are men or women, and it is even more difficult to say. ”

Jimmy: "What guns did they use?" ”

Lee: "The person on the second floor is using a semi-automatic pistol, which is currently judged to be Glock, and the model is unknown. Because the security guards also fired shots, they haven't built a model of their shooting yet, and they need to wait for the measurements. ”

Jimmy: "What's their goal?" Did the homeowner say anything about it? ”

Lee: "That's what you think, right? Their group of people should have come to steal something, and while they were out for an event, there would be a lot fewer people in the villa, and everyone's attention would not be on them. However, Daniel has not confirmed the contents of the room, and it is unclear if anything is missing. ”

Jimmy: "What about homeowner Daniel Rivera?" How is he? ”

Lee: "In the hospital, he was shot twice, one of the two unlucky men, one of which hit the chest, and the warhead fragment penetrated the diaphragm. Fortunately, he is relatively rich, and the rest depends on the means of the hospital, and he should not die after all. ”

Jimmy was speechless, this unlucky kid has encountered a rather troublesome situation, even if the doctor rescues him, at least he will need to stay in the hospital for a long time, it seems that there is no hope in the short term to determine whether there is anything missing in the house.

Jimmy: "What about the gunslinger on the second floor?" How did he escape? ”

Li: "No one found out how he ran, the dinner registration information has been obtained, and all the registered people have been contacted, but the surveillance system of this villa has been damaged, in fact, all the surveillance video from more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon has not been recorded." ”

Jimmy: "Looks like there's a lot to deal with in this case, and some of you are busy. ”

Li: "Yes, but the case here can't be handed over to the local police, so we have to deal with it." ”

Jimmy: "OK, I'm here to follow this case, don't bother you to solve the case, you're busy, I'll just watch from the sidelines." ”

Lee: "By the way, how is Deputy Director Dave Hudson doing now?" ”

Jimmy smiled: "It's no problem, I was shot in the right shoulder, my shoulder blade was pierced, and I have to recuperate for a while." ”

The two went to the second floor, and Lee began to inspect the scene of the shooting, while someone from the forensic department was collecting fingerprint information.
