After lunch, Jimmy and Mahon return to the office.

In Jimmy's impression, Mahon usually doesn't care too much about gossip, and this time he can know so much about the white-collar team, it seems that the field office should have spread the word.

Ma Hong is actually very proud, if it weren't for his psychological problems that led to the divorce of his ex-wife, and the children also left with his ex-wife, he would not have agreed to come to the Manhattan office in New York from Chicago.

At the same time, he is not a conformist, Jimmy helped him do something in Chicago, and you can see through this little thing that people are white, but his heart is definitely black, or not all black, at least gray.

It's rare to see him have a particularly good relationship with other people, but he won't offend other people, such a person won't be really well-informed, he knows everything, and the news can only spread completely.

Because he is also going back to the field department this time, he can't make any extraneous things now, so he can't go to the field to listen to the news for the time being, so he can only inquire through this chance encounter, but it seems that the possibility of returning to the white-collar team is very high, and Diana's pregnancy is the biggest opportunity.

Diana is pregnant, so naturally she can't go out to work frequently, and it is estimated that she will be arranged in the team to do some internal affairs such as intelligence collation.

Wait, if you have news, you can contact Jones for a walk and find out other news from their group in advance.

Jimmy tidied up his desk in the office, and has been in this office for almost a year, and really likes this kind of one-person office.

After such a long time, there are still a lot of things in this office, Jimmy needs to tidy up here, some of them are handed over to Isabel, and his own things need to be packed and taken to the new office when the time comes.

In the evening, Jimmy receives a call from Peter, and Jimmy kisses Nia, gets up and changes his clothes, walks out of the house, and goes to Peter's place.

Peter didn't have a place like a bar or restaurant today, but Central Park, not far from Jimmy's apartment, and it seemed that it was inconvenient for people to be around.

Jimmy finds Peter next to Central Park Lake, where he sits on a bench with half a dozen cans of beer next to him.

Peter: "Hey, that's coming pretty fast. Sit. ”

Peter took a can of beer and gave it to Jimmy, who took it and pulled the tab: "Why are you so idle today?" ”

Peter: "I've been very idle these days, and when I came out of prison, I suddenly felt that my life was pretty good. ”

Jimmy laughed and took a sip of his beer, "If you want to drink, you can go to the bar." ”

Peter: "It's quieter here. Cheers. ”

The two touched the jar and drank the wine, and Peter said, "Thank you." ”

Jimmy: "You're welcome, you didn't do it, and you can't be asked to bear the consequences of your mistakes." ”

Peter: "You know that's not what I'm talking about. ”

Jimmy: "I know, but it's good that it turns out to be good, and you don't have to worry about it here." You have Neil to thank you. ”

Peter: "He told me, though I don't know how you did it...... Cheers."

Peter touched Jimmy with his beer and drank the beer from the can.

Jimmy could only drink along, "What's the plan for the future?" ”

Peter: "I'll catch him, I will." ”

Jimmy looked at Peter in surprise, he didn't know he was going to be transferred. Hughes: Did they not talk to Peter at all?

Jimmy thought about it for a moment, but decided not to interfere with his arrangement: "How are the people in your group?" ”

Peter: "I haven't been back to the office yet, I'm not sure yet. But Jones and Diane are very experienced, so they should be fine. ”

Jimmy: "Well, that's good, you've been away for more than a month, and you don't know what the group will be like." By the way, have you seen Hughes since you came out? ”

Peter: "No, what's wrong?" ”

Jimmy: "Let's meet you, you know, he's helped you a lot." ”

Peter nodded, took another can of beer and opened it to Jimmy, "What about you?" Ready to come back? ”

Jimmy laughed, "I don't know yet, I just had a press conference as the main speaker last week, and to be honest, it feels pretty good." ”

Peter: "So you're going to stay over there?" ”

Jimmy: "Let's wait for the arrangement, if the OPR doesn't agree, I won't be able to go back to the field." That violation was a bit serious. ”

Peter: "Need I help you ask?" ”

Jimmy waved his hand, "No, let it be." I've only been in the Manhattan office for a few years and I've been a senior agent, so it's good to change departments and settle down. The leaders must have their ideas, I will talk to Ma Hong and them when I go back, and if I really want to go back, I still have to let him come forward to coordinate. ”

Peter nodded, "Well, it's better to be familiar with the industry case, speaking of which, you've been in the Public Affairs Office for almost a year, and you've just started to be a spokesperson?" ”

Jimmy: "It's been very fast, and I was going to think about it in a year." ”

——

After half a dozen beers were slowly drunk, Jimmy and Peter went to the side of the road to take a taxi, and after dropping Peter in the car and leaving, Jimmy walked to the apartment, which was only two blocks away.

After chatting for a while, Jimmy was completely sure that Hughes and they had arranged Peter clearly, but they had never discussed it with Peter from beginning to end, even if they arranged for him to go to DC, they did not notify him in advance.

Peter was in prison for five or six weeks, and no one would talk to him about anything other than the case during the whole process, and it was estimated that Elizabeth, Jones, and Diana would go to see Peter, but absolutely no one knew what Hughes was arranged, Jimmy didn't talk to anyone else when he was doing things, only Neil Kavrey knew that Jimmy got the federal prosecutor in the end.

So it is theoretically that Neil told Peter that Jimmy was going to get the prosecutor, and then Peter deduced that Jimmy had done something, which is why he invited Jimmy to a beer.

Peter has been out of prison for a few days, and he hasn't contacted Hughes, I don't know what he thinks, Hughes was implicated in retirement because of what he did, and he didn't even contact Hughes after he came out of prison.

Also, what does Hughes think, since they have already decided the path behind Peter, they should at least contact him in advance, whether Hughes comes forward or the management comes forward, this kind of thing must be arranged in advance to arrange the follow-up.

Jimmy pondered the and went home to rest.

——

Two days later, Ruiz called Jimmy to go to the bar for a drink, but it was rare that Ruiz had been talking a lot lately, Jimmy still asked him to go to his own bar, he could sit outside and drink if he had nothing to do, and he would go to a small room if he had something to discuss, which was very convenient.

When Jimmy waited for Ruiz at the bar, he didn't expect Mahone to come with him, and it didn't seem like a small matter. Jimmy asked Woody to get the wine and snacks, and the three of them went straight to the small room.

Jimmy: "It's rare that you guys came over for a drink together." Talk about that later. ”

When Woody arranged for someone to deliver the wine and glasses, Jimmy poured the wine for everyone, raised his glass and took a sip before he spoke: "What can I do for you two to come together?" ”

Ruiz glanced at Mahone, then at Jimmy: "Hughes talked to me yesterday, and Dave came to me today." ”

Jimmy immediately picked up: "Congratulations, it looks like you're going to be promoted to supervisor." ”

Ruiz was not angry when Jimmy interrupted him, and reached out to take the pistachio and peel it, "Mahon was also interviewed. ”

Jimmy looked at Mahone, "Huh? Why? ”

Ma Hong: "Reach out to a few more departments. ”

Jimmy picked up a cookie and put it in his mouth, and after eating it, he said, "It seems that this move is much bigger, Ruiz, how did you arrange it?" ”

Ruiz: "Okay, the result is that Mahon takes over from Peter, I'll go up, David will take over from me, and you'll go back to the murder team." ”

Jimmy was taken aback, "The murder team was dismantled?" ”

Ruiz nodded: "You are still the acting murder team, but you will be assigned a new person." ”

Jimmy: "It's a bit too loud, isn't it?" ”

Ruiz: "In about a month, we will have to wait for the notice, but at the moment there is only a rough arrangement, and it will be interesting to see if we can go on as planned." ”

Jimmy: "Mahon, you're going to commit an art crime...... Will it work? ”

Ma Hong: "I haven't done it, but it's an opportunity." ”

Jimmy understands the meaning of this opportunity, most of the cases involved in the white-collar team are related to the rich, museums, artworks, galleries, etc., and some of the content involves companies and securities business, and compared to the other groups, they have more contact with the outside world, and the level of contact is also higher.

Most of Peter's previous contacts were accumulated when he handled various cases and cooperated with others, and in the cases here, it is easy to meet people who can contact the senior management of the FBI, and there will be many opportunities to handle cases and earn favors.

Compared with the homicide group, it is obvious that the white-collar team is slightly higher internally, and if Ma Hong takes over Peter's class, it will be a better position in the internal adjustment position.

Jimmy looked left and right at Ruiz and Mahone, both of whom had relaxed expressions, holding the cup and looking at Jimmy in a daze.

Jimmy: "Looks like you're in a good position, by the way, Ruiz, you said David took your place?" ”

Ruiz: "Well, the current plan is like this, David's performance in the anti-terrorism team is quite good, and he is also very competent in the homicide team, just take advantage of this adjustment to mention it, there should be no problem." ”

Jimmy took a sip of his wine and said, "I remember David was just a senior agent, right?" ”

Ma Hong then spoke: "Well, this time I can be successfully promoted to a regulatory agent." ”

Jimmy: "What about you?" I hadn't noticed it before. ”

Ruiz: "I've been a regulatory agent for a long time, and Mahon I remember being promoted after I came back from my last secondment in Chicago, so the rank is not a problem. But you have to wait, your last senior agent was already a special agent, and it will take a few years to upgrade. ”

Jimmy: "Got it, looks like I'm going to be on the homicide team for a few years now. ”

Ruiz: "Well, this time I told you in advance to be mentally prepared, the previous two years were a bit too fast to be promoted to senior agent. ”

Jimmy: "Understandably, I know I'm not qualified enough to get promoted right now. When will you take over? ”

Ruiz: "As I said, in about a month, but David needs to come to me early and familiarize himself with what we're going to do. ”

Jimmy: "What about you, Mahon?" ”

Ma Hong: "Wait for the above notice, it's not clear yet." ”

Jimmy: "OK, it looks like the next month or so is going to be busy and chaotic. Drink the bar, I guess you'll be busy for a while. ”

——

Finally, Jimmy had reliable information and was able to know his location in advance, instead of waiting for Mrs. Mason to inform him of where to move.

On Friday, Mrs. Mason summoned Jimmy to her office, accompanied by Isabel, to announce Jimmy's decision to return to the field office, in the same position as the previous Homicide Squad.

Jimmy thanked Mrs. Mason and Isabel for their care and nurturing him over the months, and he would never forget the experience of working together, and then went outside to share the news.

Jimmy hugged everyone goodbye and went back to the office to pack his things, of course, he also called and ordered a sufficient amount of afternoon tea desserts, coffee and milk tea to be delivered to the public affairs office, thanking everyone for being with him for so long.

Jimmy returned to the murder team's office with the suitcase, here are still Mahon and David, as before, in fact, there have not been many people in the murder team, the largest number of people is Mahon with the black girl Felicia, plus Jimmy, a total of three people.

Mahon and David get up to welcome Jimmy back, and the group is finally united, and of course it will soon break up.

Jimmy placed his personal belongings in a cardboard box, and then took out a tea set from a cabinet that had been dusty for a long time, "Haven't you used these tea sets before?" And these teas. ”

Ma Hong: "No way, no one will make your kind of tea." ”

Jimmy sighed, "OK, I'm going to clean these tea sets after work, and these tea leaves are going to be replaced all of them, and they've been open for a few months, and they've gone bad." ”

Jimmy put the tea set on the coffee table, took it to be cleaned at the end of the day, and then boiled it all a few times, and then left the office after it was all tidied up.

Over the weekend, Jimmy's tea shop before coming to Chinatown buys two more types of tea, one is Zhengshan Xiaozhong and the other is Longjing, a traditional green tea.

A new position, a new life, and it's really nice to be back in the field.

Jimmy and Nia went shopping during the day, watched movies at night, and of course, had a good meal to celebrate their return to the field and get rid of the unintelligible official documents.

On weekend nights, Jimmy also invited Mahone and David to his bar. This time it was to celebrate his return to the field, and at the same time to contact his future colleagues, but it seemed that David didn't know what he was going to do, and he was still talking to Jimmy about some recent cases.

The new week is coming, Jimmy came to the office early in the morning, cleaned the table and coffee table as usual, disinfected the tea set that had been cleaned last Friday again, Jimmy took out new tea leaves and brewed a pot, slowly drank tea and read the newspaper, waiting for Mahon and them to arrive.

Soon, Mahon and David arrived at the office, so after tidying up the desk, the murder team once again started the tradition of drinking tea and chatting early in the morning.

Jimmy: "By the way, are there any cases that are being worked on right now?" ”

Mahon: "Well, there was a bakery explosion in Brooklyn, and the explosion occurred at 4:13 a.m. last Thursday, and the test results can confirm that it was a flour dust explosion, but the ignition source has not been found yet.

Three people died in the bombing, two of whom were bakers and the other was the nephew of the baker manager, who, according to the bakery's owner, had learned to make pastries from the chef. ”

Jimmy: "Did the accidental operation cause the flour to fly?" ”

Ma Hong: "It's unlikely, the flour in the bakery is in the storage room, and you usually only take the amount you need to make bread. I asked another bakery in the neighborhood that usually starts making pastries at 3-4 a.m. and sells them in the morning. ”

Jimmy: "Then there's going to be an investigation. ”

Ma Hong: "Well, this case is for you." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll apply for a car later, Mahon, help me call the administration." ”

Ma Hong: "Don't you have a car?" ”

Jimmy shrugged: "I was blown up before, and then I didn't change the car, I always drove my own car." ”

Mahon: "Is that the rocket attack?" ”

Jimmy nodded, and David suddenly said, "That rocket attack was taken away by DHS, what the hell happened?" ”

Jimmy smiled, took a sip of tea, "Can you promise not to say it?" ”

David nodded, and Mahone didn't move, but he looked at Jimmy as well.

Jimmy: "Well, that case was actually a chain case, starting with a murder case, which my fiancée, Nia, and her colleagues were looking into. They found clues, followed a gang member, and later I stepped in and talked to the Vipers......"

Anyway, there are no other cases, and Ma Hong and David are not in a hurry, so they just listened to Jimmy talk about the case from beginning to end while drinking tea, except that Jimmy did not say that some of the materials obtained were not very legal, and basically did not omit anything.

David was already satisfied that he could hear all the information, but Mahon seemed to have some thoughts: "Have you found their shooting range or practice range?" ”

Jimmy raised an eyebrow and looked at Ma Hong in surprise, he actually found something suspicious. "That case is closed, closed by DHS, so ......"

Ma Hong nodded, "It's understandable, okay, I'll go to the bathroom, it's time to go to work." ”

Jimmy: "OK, I'll clean it up." ”

Jimmy cleaned up the tea set, and Mahon and David went to the bathroom.

With everything cleaned up, Mahon gave Jimmy the bombing file, "Take care of it." ”

Jimmy checked the information, and the explosives detection report at the explosion site had also been obtained, after all, it had happened a few days ago.

What is now certain is that there were no traces of chemical bombs at the site of the explosion, and it can be determined that it was indeed a dust explosion, and the explosives were flour dust. But to reach the level of a flour dust explosion, the proportion of dust in the room should be very high, and if it is not intentional, it generally does not happen.

Jimmy looked at the information and ran to the administration department first, and the news of Jimmy's return to the field Tim Dunn had already known in advance, so as soon as Jimmy said that he needed a car, Tim had already taken out a car key, "It's ready for you, it's still a sabo class, hidden police lights and sirens, and the car radio is complete." ”

Jimmy smiled and took the keys and hugged Tim, "Thanks, Tim." There is time for you to drink. ”

Tim waved his hand: "Just drink, you just save some money and use this car, you have the highest frequency of changing cars in the bureau." ”

Jimmy shrugged: "No way, who made the criminals I meet so vicious, if it is only a few shots, there is no need to change the car." ”

Tim: "yes, a grenade exploded under the car, and the car was scrapped!" ”

Jimmy: "If there is such an exciting scene in the future, I'll just put the car away in advance, okay." By the way, can we add a little more to the door modification? Only the main driver's seat bulletproof door is still a bit rare. ”

Tim: "Uniformly configured, the front doors are bulletproof on the left and right, and as for the whole car is bulletproof, don't think about it." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll go first, I just got back to the homicide team and I have a case to deal with, and I'm going to get busy again." ”

Tim and Jimmy shook hands and said goodbye, "Goodbye, be careful." ”

Jimmy returned to the office and re-investigated the information of the three deceased, not that he did not believe the results of Mahon's previous investigation, Jimmy was used to checking it himself.

In the afternoon, Jimmy had just left the office for Brooklyn when he received a call to return to the office.

When Jimmy returned to the office, he came to the conference room next to Hughes's former office, where a large number of people had gathered. In addition to the leaders of several teams, there is also a person in front of Jimmy, who Jimmy rarely meets, the top officer of the Manhattan office branch, Special Agent in Charge (abbreviated as SAC) John Thompson.

Because Jimmy was late when he returned from outside, the department adjustment had already been announced, and the result was similar to what Ruiz had said before, but it was also a little different.

Peter Bork, who had just returned to the office today to start work, came in the morning from the headquarters in Washington, D.C., and a supervisor extended an invitation to Peter.

Some high-level people have paid attention to Peter, he disposed of a corrupt senator, although there are some twists and turns, but still earned a lot of face for the FBI, so one of the directors of the headquarters, Bruce, sent an invitation to Peter, and then arranged for him to go to DC to take up a post.

However, before going to DC, Peter needs to change offices, next door to the offices of Hughes and Director Callaway.

Hughes's previous position was Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC), and Peter didn't turn it down, so the afternoon change was announced by John Thompson, the director of the Manhattan office.

At the same time, there is also a change, Alexander Mahon was transferred from the homicide team to the white-collar team, taking Peter's position, of course, this transfer should have been arranged after Peter took office, but now it is directly announced by John, that is, they have communicated in advance.

After Jimmy Young returned to the field service, he acted as the agent of the homicide team, which surprised the others, but Peter and Mahon did not react, and the people below had nothing to say.

After the announcement was made, Director John left the conference room with his people, and the crowd began to say hello to Peter, Mahon, and Jimmy, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Jimmy applauded happily and shouted, "OKOK!" Ladies and gentlemen, to celebrate Peter's ascension, I invite you for afternoon tea. The response, of course, was cheers.

Originally, he was going to investigate the relatives and friends of the three deceased, but now he didn't bother to go out, Jimmy went directly back to the homicide team with Ma Hong, "Ma Hong, when are you moving over?" ”

Ma Hong: "Tomorrow." In the future, you will be in charge of this, work hard, and it is estimated that you will be able to turn into a regular soon. ”

Jimmy: "Don't worry, before you came, I was the only one in the murder team for a long time, so it wasn't a big problem. ”

Mahon nodded as he walked, "It looks like I'm going to be in New York for a long time." ”

Jimmy: "Of course, you can be considered promoted this time, maybe you will become Director Mahone in the future." ”

Ma Hong: "Well, let's buy an apartment when you go back, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Jimmy: "Manhattan is more expensive, Brooklyn is cheaper, you don't want to go to Jersey City, do you?" ”

Mahon: "Let's go back to Brooklyn and look for it." ”

Jimmy: "Actually, if Peter actually went to DC......"

Mahon: "I'll find a real estate agent." ”

Jimmy: "OK, your house is up to you." By the way, if you go to the white-collar group, pay attention to that Neil Cavre, he doesn't do things too well, and he seems to have a lot of friends in the underworld. ”

Mahon nodded: "I'll pay attention, Peter still needs to hand over with me, besides, he's still here, you can confirm with him if you have something." ”

——

Jimmy called for afternoon tea and celebrated with people from several departments, he looked at the time, and it was better to wait until the next day to investigate.

The Brooklyn bakery bombing is still relatively easy to investigate, the owner Jeffrey Adams, a white male in his 50s, according to Ma Hong's previous investigation, the neighbors around the bakery and Jeffrey's house commented that Jeffrey was very kind and friendly, and he was also a very good baker.

The chefs are Harry Thompson and Emily Russell, the two of them are master and apprentice, Harry Thompson has been working for Jeffrey for nearly 10 years, is the real veteran of this bakery, and is also the second chef after the owner Jeffrey.

Emily Russell also studied with Harry Thompson for three years, she is a single mother, a former waitress, and then studied baking with Harry, and successfully applied for the job.

The third deceased was Jeffrey Adams' nephew, Benjamin Scott, who had just been released from prison six months ago after being sentenced to two years in prison for burglary.

Benjamin, who was released from prison, was still idle, but Jeffrey couldn't stand it anymore, so he could only drag him to his bakery to learn baking with Harry, at least let him have a craft, and when he learned to at least have a skill to live, whether it was working for others or opening his own bakery, it was much better than he was now.

Their identities are very clear, and compared to Jimmy's previous cases, they are already very good.
