579 Arson murders
Sending Ruiz away, Jimmy sat back on the couch, thinking about Ruiz's words.
His words are actually a bit problematic, there are a lot of videos on King Baoli's side, even if the other gangs are not so well-informed, theoretically they should know about the complete collapse of the Viper Gang under the FBI crackdown. How could anyone want to use Jimmy as a stepping stone now?
And Jimmy has been in the public affairs office for a few months and has just returned to the field, how could there be such news so suddenly? If they did investigate Jimmy, they should have done so months earlier.
Recently, the information, Jimmy remembered the guy in prison, could it be him?
No, Curtis is not a fool, he should know that leaking his information will definitely lead to trouble, that is, the person who helped him go to the hotel to get the information?
It's not right to think about it, how big of a problem does your brain have to be to tell others about the contents of your file?
The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, but there was nothing Jimmy could do to deal with it in advance.
Now the news comes from Ruiz, which is the scope of the anti-black group, as long as they don't attack Jimmy, Jimmy can't deal with them directly, at least he needs to discuss it with the anti-black group.
Ruiz's anti-mafia group is actually very high-profile now, the so-called five major mafia in New York, since 2000, many small families have been cleaned up, and others are gradually collecting evidence, trying to further break through the firewall and hang up the things done by the people below with their superiors, so that there is enough evidence to get rid of them.
According to the current situation, the so-called five major mafias should successively destroy their foundations in the next few years, until they are all demolished, and the rest are small gangs that fight their own battles, and the threat of these people is much lower.
Ruiz's promotion to Assistant Detective Director is not just a matter of time and rank, and his record is just as dazzling.
The gangsters in New York are famous in the United States, and Ruiz can make so many achievements in such an environment, and Ruiz is really supported by achievements, if it weren't for the fact that Peter was considered a suitable successor by the upper echelons early on, Ruiz could at least have the same status as Peter.
Now wait for Peter to act for a while, and then go to DC HQ and be promoted at the same time, and Ruiz can take over smoothly.
Jimmy pondered these questions over his tea, and only when David came over did he clean up and sit back at his desk.
Only one day later, David also packed his things and moved, and Jimmy was the only one left in the Homicide Squad office. The newcomer hasn't been arranged yet, Jimmy hasn't applied to Peter, he's only a supervising agent now, and he hasn't been promoted to assistant agent supervisor, just wait step by step.
Jimmy isn't in a hurry now, and when Ruiz takes over, won't it be easy for him to want a trainee agent?
In fact, it is impossible to completely unwind, and another vicious case was sent to the Manhattan office.
Three bodies were found in a room on the third floor of a room on the third floor where the fire started after the fire station doused the fire in an apartment building in Harlem, Manhattan. After the fire department took the bodies to the medical examiner's office, the medical examiner's initial examination of the bodies revealed bullet holes in two of them, while the third body had been violently twisted and its neck was broken.
Due to the fire, the room had been destroyed, and the location of the body in the room had also been destroyed by the fire department's personnel in order to clean and inspect the room, and there were not many clues available, and the NYPD detective department directly reported the case to the FBI.
Although this seems to be just a murder case, which can be handled by the NYPD, Jimmy doesn't have a case in his hands now, and he will follow up on this case.
Murder plus arson is also a vicious murder, and there must be no problem for the FBI to take over.
The medical examiner's office still needs to queue up for a detailed autopsy, but the corpse's clothes have been burned, the things on its body have also been burned, and there are no documents to prove the identity, so at present, Jimmy only has the most rough initial examination, and there are no clues.
Jimmy drove to Harlem, just north of the Upper East Side and Upper West Side, also part of Manhattan, where the security was not as good as the Upper East Side and the Upper West Side, and there was a lot of gang activity.
Jimmy put on disposable gloves and entered the room where the fire broke out with the assistance of an NYPD police officer. He was holding a folder in his hand, here were the photos taken when the fire department found the body, and then moved the body, the scene was not the same as the photos, and Jimmy also needed to compare the photos with the scene one by one to determine the original location of the body.
Jimmy looked at the scene, called back to the office, and called a group of support agents to come over and check his surroundings by the way. Two bodies were shot, so if this was the first scene, it was likely that there would be clues such as bullet casings hidden under the ashes, and Jimmy alone would not have been able to search them thoroughly.
The site investigation is very tedious and requires great care, and consumes a lot of time, the place has burned out in a bad way, the furniture in the house has been destroyed, but fortunately the building is a masonry building, at least the main frame is still there.
After cleaning up the burnt ash and charcoal furniture, Jimmy and the others finally found a bullet case and two Glock pistols in the living room of the room. The Forensic Section brought it back for inspection, but unfortunately, due to the high temperature, there were no fingerprints left on the cartridge casings, and as for Glock, he could no longer distinguish the number of the guns, so there was no way to determine who the owners of the two pistols were.
Fortunately, they have determined that the bullet type is a 9mm pistol round, so the gunner's gun has an approximate range.
Jimmy immediately arranged for some agents to look around for usable surveillance probes, while interrogating the surrounding neighbors to determine the identity of the people in the room.
Back at the FBI office, Jimmy investigated the property data at New York City Hall, determined the landlord information, and called directly. Unfortunately, this place is also rented out, and the landlord has determined that his family does not live there, but the specific tenant's information needs to be checked, and he only remembers one name.
The landlord looked up the original rental contract, and the name of the tenant was fake, and Jimmy did not find the corresponding person in the personnel database at all, and because he paid the rent in cash, he did not even have bank account information.
Although it is a bit wrong to pay the rent in cash, it is suspected of tax evasion, but this has nothing to do with Jimmy, and now it is still necessary to find a way to find the identities of several of them.
The neighbor provided a message that the occupant of that room had a motorcycle, which should be able to extract the relevant fingerprints.
Eventually, Jimmy was able to identify himself as Marco Calpe, a gangster, a soldier of the Rotalliano family, based on the fingerprints on the motorcycle, and the lowest official member.
This kind of relationship still has to ask Ruiz to help investigate the information, the Rotariano family is not one of the so-called five families, correspondingly, their information is not as complete as those families.
Ruiz investigated it very carefully and carefully, made several phone calls, and finally confirmed Marko's relationship.
Luis Montero, Marco's superior, Hornhead.
Jimmy gets Montero's information, and he and David go straight to a high-rise apartment in Harlem.
David was able to get involved because this case involved official members of the gang, and it was likely to be the beginning of a gangster case, Ruiz didn't plan to go out on his own, but it was still good for David to have more contact with the gang. Besides, they have Ruiz behind them and are easy to muster when they need support.
With the passage of time, the gangsters have also kept pace with the times, and the era of covering the streets with protection money is over, and now they are more engaged in some illegal trade to make money, and then use all kinds of disguised legitimate businesses to launder money, so the upper echelons basically have nominal normal occupations to cover up their identities.
Jimmy and David showed their ID and entered the apartment building without any problems, making their way to the outside of Luis Montero's room. Jimmy and David stood on either side of the doorway, and David reached out and knocked on the door, "Knock knock," "FBI." ”
By the time David knocked on the door, Jimmy had already begun to observe the situation inside. This Louis Montero is the owner of a chain laundry, and of course he has a lot of money. His apartment room doesn't look small, it should be more than 120 square meters, at least as far as Jimmy's eye can see, there are more than 3 rooms.
There are 5 people in the house, it seems that there are three large and two small, two adults one in the living room and one in the bedroom.
The person from the living room came over and opened the door of the apartment, because there was an anti-theft chain, so there was only a small gap to see the outside, and the woman who opened the door looked out suspiciously, "You are?" ”
David and Jimmy showed their credentials: "FBI Senior Agent David White, Jimmy Young." We come to Mr. Luis Montero. ”
Woman: "I'm sorry, my husband isn't at home, come back in the afternoon." With that, she closed the door.
Jimmy put his foot against the door, "Ma'am, you can talk to Louis before answering our questions." I know he's at home. Please. ”
With that, Jimmy retracted his foot, and the door closed smoothly.
The lady walked into the room and said something to the people inside, and Jimmy saw that the person who had been sitting in the bedroom got up, and they came over together, and with a "click", the anti-leech chain opened, and the door opened. A bearded man appeared in the doorway, "I'm Luis Montero, what's the matter?" ”
Jimmy: "Two things, one, there was a murder and arson case with three deceased, one of whom was supposed to be your subordinate, Marco Calpe, and I need you to contact his family to go to the medical examiner's office to confirm the body, and I need to do a DNA test.
Two, I need your cooperation, think about whether he or any of your enemies would do such a thing.
With these two things out of the way, let's move on to the other issues. ”
Louis looked at Jimmy and suddenly asked, "You're that Jimmy?" You know what I'm talking about. ”
Jimmy: "I'm that Jimmy. ”
Louis glanced at David and then at Jimmy, "Deal." Give me a moment. ”
Jimmy reached into the inside pocket of his suit, and Louis was visibly nervous, relieved to see that he was taking out his business card.
Jimmy handed the business card to Louis, "There's news for me to call." Please as soon as possible, I have limited time. ”
Luis: "Of course, I won't invite you two into the room, goodbye." ”
With that, Louis took two steps back, closed the door, and hung up the anti-leeching chain, before turning around in the room, standing still thinking about something.
Jimmy glanced at David and shrugged, "Let's go, let's go back and wait for news." ”
It's not that Jimmy doesn't want to forcefully bring people back for questioning, but there is no evidence, no suspicion, and as the FBI, he can't directly bring people back.
He is just gambling, since Ruiz said before that his own information in the gang has been leaked, then as a mafia family, even a small mafia family, he should be able to get some news, he just wants to see if he has the face to let them cooperate.
Fortunately, it seems that the brains that can be leaders are still online, and Louis also confirmed his identity with Jimmy, so there is a drama in this matter.
Marco Calpe's information is not complete in the system, he is an orphan on the surface, but Jimmy knows the style of the mafia, and since Marco has become an official member, then it is at least certain that this mafia family has determined that at least one of his parents is Italian, that is, he knows his family situation.
It's up to them to investigate Marko's family, and then extract DNA from the three burned corpses to determine which one is Marko himself, and as for the other two, they need to find a way to confirm it.

Tips:
There are three FBI field offices in New York State, with Albany covering upstate New York and all of Vermont, Buffalo covering western New York, and New York City covering the southeast.
The field office has field offices in several cities that belong to these three offices, among which the New York City field office has attached field offices, which are Brooklyn Queens, Hudson Valley, John F. Kennedy, Long Island, and Westchester.
The head of the field office in Albany and Buffalo is the head of the Secret Service, aka SAC, and the head of the field agent is ASAC, which is the position of Richiews.
The FBI office in New York City is at a higher level, and the person in charge is Assistant Director in Charge, which is Dave's position, but he belongs to management, strictly speaking, a person who is subordinate to the management of the headquarters.
He oversees the entire FBI field office in New York City, including the Manhattan office and five other subordinate field offices, of which the Manhattan office is still the head of the specific agent or SAC, and several ASACs are responsible for several department groups, forming a complete organizational framework.
There are three such offices in the United States, headed by assistant commissioners, Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C.
In addition to covering the five boroughs of New York City, eight counties in New York State, LaGuardia Airport, and John Brown, the New York Field Office is responsible for covering five boroughs in New York City, eight counties in New York State, and John Brown. Outside of John F. Kennedy International Airport, because the United Nations headquarters is located in Manhattan, New York, the New York Field Office is additionally responsible for extraterritorial operations, working with host countries to investigate crimes and terrorist attacks against U.S. citizens and interests abroad.
