Ruiz didn't greet Jimmy and the others directly, but walked into the small room with Seventeen around the corner, and threw Seventeen into it before coming to Jimmy.

Jimmy poured him a glass of water and asked in a low voice, "How did you bring him?" ”

Ruiz also said in a low voice: "You have to put enough pressure on Luis, don't worry, I have a lot of experience in this kind of thing, let's start." ”

Jimmy nodded, came out of the bar with a glass of water, and walked over to Louis and sat down, Ruiz sitting next to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Luis, do you know?" ”

Luis: "Agent Ruiz. ”

Jimmy: "Now that you're all together, you can tell your deal." ”

Louis knew that he was in trouble when he saw Ruiz coming with Seventeen, both of them were at the scene at the time, and now they were both arrested, and looking at the current situation, Seventeen was arrested earlier than him.

I don't know what Seventeen's side can recruit, or is it that he didn't say anything on his side? When the prisoner's dilemma really appeared in front of him, he was really anxious, and now he had to think about his words.

Louis was in a daze, and Jimmy and Ruiz were not in a hurry, and the two of them took the water glass and drank it slowly, waiting for Luis's decision.

Luis finally came to his senses, and he looked at Ruiz: "I can't go to jail. ”

Ruiz raised an eyebrow, his request was a bit more than Ruiz's previous considerations, he thought Louis wanted a witness protection plan, "Reason? ”

Luis: "You're looking into a shooting, so I can give you the suspect, both human and physical." ”

Louis no longer looks at Jimmy, but at Ruiz, he knows who has the final say, and for a gang member like him, Ruiz's position determines that he is more qualified than anyone else to handle Luis's case.

Ruiz: "I need evidence of Fat John's guilt." ”

Louis took a hard breath, "No, that's going to kill you." ”

Ruiz: "I can give you and your family a choice, the option to stay away from New York. ”

Louis stopped talking, his cheeks shaking.

Ruiz looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, you stay out of the way for a while. ”

Jimmy nodded, got up and left the desk, and walked to the manager's office inside, Isaac was not there, and the office was empty.

Jimmy didn't know who Ruiz was talking about Fat John, but looking at Louis's shocked look, it was definitely a big fish.

It seems that this opportunity is good, Louis should be a key person, so that Ruiz can get a big achievement before being promoted to the director, or rather, David is lucky, generally big cases involving gangster families can not be solved in a short time, he can handle a big case when he first took over the anti-gang group, and it is very likely that he will directly destroy a mafia family, this kind of luck is really against the sky.

But it's very unhappy.,I've been following up on the case for several days.,Suddenly lost?

After a while, Jimmy's cell phone rang, Ruiz told him to go out and come to their table and sit down, Louis looked at Jimmy: "Marco is dead, and he killed the people in his family." ”

Jimmy: "Tell me more. ”

Luis: "Marco cooperated with people in smuggling, but they didn't inform us, they had an argument with another group, someone found Marco's house and went to his house to kidnap him, but he had friends at the time, so all the people who went to arrest were killed, because there was no way to transfer the bodies of the three people, they had to set a fire and burn him directly. ”

Jimmy: "Smuggling what?" ”

Luis: "Luxury bags and perfumes that don't take up a lot of space, all fakes from Asia. ”

Jimmy: "Some fake bags and perfumes are definitely not worth their killing, you lie." ”

Luis: "That's all we know so far, and I don't even know that Marco isn't dead, I searched all the places where he might exist, until someone told me that Marco had a close relationship with the Black Diamonds some time ago, so I contacted Charles Brooks, the 'wall' of the Black Diamonds, to help, and he owed me a favor, so he helped me find the residence of Thomas, who contacted Marko. ”

Jimmy: "Is that the warehouse?" ”

Luis: "Yes, we went in and found Marco and Thomas, and they confessed to the smuggling. ”

Jimmy: "Why did you shoot him?" ”

Luis: "No, it's just that the pistol went off, and it was a complete accident when I pointed the gun at them." ”

Jimmy: "You've fired a dozen shots, and you dare to say it's a misfire?" ”

Jimmy heard it outside, although the sound was a little muffled, but his hearing was also a little enhanced, and he still heard the gunshots.

Louis was silent for a moment: "He's a traitor. ”

Fxxk！ Glory murder, this group of gangsters has broken brains.

Ruiz was watching Jimmy and Louis communicate these things between him, and suddenly interjected, "Is that Thomas from the Black Diamonds?" ”

Luis: "Brooks said he was a peripheral member and they didn't know much about it. ”

Jimmy slapped the table: "Bullshit! How can a person who can participate in smuggling be just a gang outlet, it seems that the conditions we have given you make you very unhappy, so you have to lie about this. ”

Louis shook his head, "I'm not lying, that's all I know, Brooks was on the scene at the time, and there were many things that happened before they could be asked." ”

Jimmy: "You're not lying, you went to the warehouse with two cars and four people, but when you finally escaped, seven people came out of the warehouse, and there were two dead people in the warehouse, who were those people?" Who is the person who ran away with you? ”

Jimmy's question was too clear, and the scene was too detailed, and Louis was silent for a moment before saying, "William Moore, a black marketeer, middleman. ”

Jimmy: "Give me his information and address." ”

Luis: "I don't know, he brought two of his men who were already in the warehouse before we got to the warehouse, it should be Marco and they contacted, probably to sell some goods." ”

Jimmy: "How did you find him?" ”

Luis: "I just know him, I haven't worked with him, but I have his phone number, you can find it in my phone." ”

Jimmy looked at Ruiz and tilted his head to the side, "Ruiz." ”

Ruiz and Jimmy got up and left the table and walked to the side, where Jimmy asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do with him?" ”

Ruiz: "He'll be a tainted witness, and we'll apply for witness protection for him when we launch the operation." ”

Jimmy: "If I arrest him on suspicion of murder, he will go to jail, will it affect your plans?" ”

Ruiz: "He'll figure it out." ”

Jimmy: "What about Seventeen?" ”

Ruiz: "Let's go back and talk about it, it's not convenient here." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Okay, if you don't have any special arrangements for Louis, I'll talk to him." ”

Ruiz: "Okay, I'll go back first." ”

Ruiz walks to the small room and takes Seventeen out of the bar, Jimmy uncuffs them when he sees them go outside and close the door, it looks like Seventeen is indeed his own.

Jimmy came to Louis's side: "You know the terms you are talking about, right?" ”

Louis nodded dejectedly, he had no way back now.

Jimmy has the evidence that he shot Marco in the warehouse, and a few witnesses, if he insists on arresting, he only lacks the pistol that has been thrown away by himself, but there are people who identify him, there is also evidence of his presence at the scene, plus his identity as a gangster, it is enough for the jury to rule.

The only way to avoid going to jail is to make a deal, and since it's been decided, there's no way around it.

Jimmy: "Now, I guess you have a way for me to get the evidence to close the murder in the warehouse, right?" ”

Louis nodded again, and Jimmy raised his voice, "Say it out loud." ”

Louis looked up at Jimmy and said loudly, "Yes, I will make people confess." ”

Jimmy: "Very good, stand up and turn around." ”

Jimmy uncuffed Louis and took Louis's phone out of his pocket and gave it back to him, "You can go back on your own, right?" ”

Without saying a word, Louis walked to the door, opened the door and walked out.

Jimmy shook his head, in fact, he didn't have that much evidence, in fact, when they escaped, because Jimmy had to take care of four wounded, they didn't catch up at all, if Louis really had to carry it hard, he would probably be dismissed due to insufficient evidence.

Fortunately, Jimmy deceived Louis, and then got the well-known agent Ruiz, which completely got Luis done without accidents.

For Jimmy, his arson murder has now been determined to be the one killed by Marko, and now that the killer is dead, it's easy to get the case done.

Jimmy takes all the used cups to the bar and closes the door and leaves, and Woody will take care of it later.

Back in the office, Jimmy calls the agents at the hospital, the three patients with gunshot wounds are currently recuperating in the hospital, and in order to save some time for Louis, Jimmy decides to wait and take notes for them.

Taking advantage of the time now, Jimmy began to write his own report, mainly to clarify the previous part of the identification of the deceased and the accidental learning that Marco was not between the three deceased, and there is a report from the medical examiner's office, which cannot be faked.

Marco's aunt, Lady Melissa, had already checked her information during the DNA test, and Jimmy just took it here and put it in the report, just how to find her and polish it.

From the time Marco was found to be alive, the later report needed to wait for the results of Luis's treatment, and if there was an accident, he could only be sorry for Ruiz, in order to close the case, Jimmy did not rule out using some special means to make Luis confess.

When he was about to get home in the evening, Jimmy received a call from Dave and asked him to accompany him to church the next morning.

Jimmy was still a little surprised, parked the car on the side of the road, and thought about it, maybe it was the same as what he said at lunch with Hughes and Dave a few days ago, and some inconvenient things to make public probably had to involve himself.

Looking at the time, Jimmy took a detour to buy two steaks and some vegetables to take home for dinner, but he was destined to die tonight.

The Forensic Identification Bureau made an urgent call, and they took some of the evidence from the warehouse and came back for testing, and found that there was a big problem. Drug residues were detected on a brand new sofa, and upon inspection, it was found that part of the wooden frame of the sofa was hollow, and there was currently nothing in it, but the drug residue indicated that the drug should have been stored here.

Now it's troublesome, Jimmy heard Louis say that Marco and they smuggled only luxury bags and perfumes, and the furniture should not be smuggled by them.

If it weren't for them, then the home improvement company would be a big suspect, and there were a lot of people in this company, and if you want to investigate thoroughly, you will definitely not be able to do it alone.

Looking at the time, Jimmy made a direct phone call to Peter, although he is an agent, but the authority is there, this time he must come forward to mobilize people, these people may have a considerable period of time to deal with this drug smuggling case.

Receiving Jimmy's call, Peter looked at Elizabeth with a helpless expression, he only had less than two weeks to transfer to Washington, DC, and now he was planning with Elizabeth at home to go to Washington DC's life, and suddenly such a big case appeared, the key is that this case is definitely not a short time to solve just by looking at the content of the current investigation.

Peter thought about it, called John Thompson, the head of special agents (SAC), directly to make sure that he was home, and immediately changed his clothes and went out, leaving Elizabeth to continue planning for the rest of the day.

Because of the limited time Peter has been in the Manhattan office, it is better to arrange someone to handle this kind of potentially long-term case from above, or directly let the successor intervene in advance.

Peter knew that Ruiz would take over the position of supervisor, but it had not been announced yet, and it was not appropriate for him to go directly to Ruiz, so it was best to find his immediate boss John Thompson first.

Thompson listened to Peter's report and agreed with Peter's opinion, and let Ruiz come over and intervene in advance after going to work.

This case is a bit troublesome, if it is only a drug case, many teams of the FBI drug-related cases can be handled, but this time it involves imported furniture to hide drugs, if necessary, you need to contact the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP, after 2003 under the United States Department of Homeland Security DPS) to assist in handling.

When it comes to multi-department collaboration, it's best to stabilize the personnel, otherwise there will be problems in communication with each other.

After Jimmy threw his troubles out, he had a good night's sleep, but unfortunately the others didn't sleep well.

The emergence of a new drug transportation route is a route for drug lords to pick up money, before being discovered by the FBI, it is not known how long they have been carrying out such transportation, and now it is necessary to catch all the drug dealers on a line according to the import and export information, and the workload will be large to make people doubt their lives.

——

In the morning, Jimmy opened the safe and took out a second 1875 to replace his Colt python, this time there was probably an anomalous event, so let's change the equipment, and the other is the bullet, took a small bag, filled it with a .44 Magnum and threw it into his pocket. Jimmy thought about it, put on the cross necklace that had been stored in the safe for a while, and then went out to drive to meet Dave.

This cross was given by Father Houghton of Dallas, and Jimmy used to wear it for a while, but after a long time he still felt uncomfortable, and then kept it in the safe.

At the entrance of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Jimmy stood at the door in advance waiting for Dave, there were still a lot of tourists, and Jimmy was completely inconspicuous standing nearby.

Dave arrived at the door on time, beckoned to Jimmy, and led him into the cathedral, but instead of following the same route as the tourists, he walked around them to the back area, which was closed to the public.

Dave greeted a man in a black bishop's uniform and a cross necklace: "Bishop Anderson." ”

Bishop Anderson greeted Dave and Jimmy with a smile before leading them to a common room.

Once seated, Bishop Anderson said, "Thank you, sorry for your trouble, Dave. ”

Dave: "You're welcome, Bishop Anderson, what's the matter with us coming over this time?" ”

Bishop Anderson: "Since the beginning of the 21st century, the number of anomalous events in our diocese has been increasing every year, and in the past few years of exorcism, we have lost several priests, especially in recent times, there have been several evil events in New York State, and one of our priests has been called by the Lord to return to heaven. ”

Dave was surprised and asked, "When?" ”

Bishop Anderson: "A week ago, near Rochester. ”

Dave: "May I ask why?" ”

Bishop Anderson: "We received information that there had been several anomalous events in the vicinity of Rochester, and that there had been reports of soul-devouring demons in the congregation, and that Father Rossi had rushed to investigate, but he had only been in contact with us twice since his arrival and was missing, and his body was found three days ago.

We have already arranged for two other priests to investigate this matter, but there are no results yet.

In fact, not only our diocese, but also other dioceses have reported that the evil spirit activities have become more and more frequent in recent years, and the pressure in various places is also increasing, if the situation continues to be bad, it is likely that we will not be able to expel these evil spirit activities in time and let them appear in the public eye, which will be a catastrophe. ”

Dave: "OK, so what can I do for the bishop?" ”

Bishop Anderson: "You know, although we have a lot of people, we can't get information in time, so I want you to help keep an eye out for anomalies, especially those special alarms." Evil spirit activity is too dangerous for ordinary people, and many people may have all kinds of accidents without resisting at all. ”

Dave glanced at Jimmy, then turned to Bishop Anderson, "Bishop Anderson, do you have any statistics for last year and this year?" ”

Bishop Anderson: "I see what you mean, in fact there are almost twice as many evil spirits this year as there were last year, but I can't tell you the exact number. ”

The church will not notify the FBI when dealing with these incidents, so it is actually difficult for Dave, as an ordinary person, to know the specific data.

Dave: "I see, you mean to contact you if we find something unusual that is difficult to explain?" ”

Bishop Anderson: "Yes, I know your agents are brave, but in some cases, they are completely defenseless against demons, and you can't solve the problem in this case. ”

Dave nodded: "Agent Jimmy Young is the head of our homicide team, if there is a related homicide case that is more abnormal, he will contact you." ”

Bishop Anderson: "Nice to meet you, Agent Young. ”

Jimmy leaned slightly, "It's an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Bishop Anderson." Who do I need to contact later? ”

Bishop Anderson: "Father Rodney will contact you later." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, it's an honor to serve the church. ”

Bishop Anderson: "Dave, if I may, I'd like to ask you to contact your headquarters and investigate the anomalies in other areas. ”

Dave: "I will, if there's no problem, we'll go back first." ”

Dave and Jimmy got up to say goodbye to Bishop Anderson, Jimmy took his business card out of his pocket and handed it to Bishop Anderson, and they left the church.

Without saying a word, they came to the parking lot and stood next to Dave's car, Dave looked at Jimmy, "You are in charge of contacting the parish about this." You said you could see some anomalies, so go around when you're fine. ”

Jimmy: "Dave, I don't understand, why are we going to take on this kind of trouble?" ”

Dave sighed, "As Bishop Anderson said earlier, there have been more and more of these anomalous cases in recent years. There are statistics at the headquarters, too, and Hughes should have told you before that we have a special task force at the headquarters that is responsible for dealing with these kinds of anomalous cases, right? ”

Jimmy nodded: "I heard him say that we also transferred a paranormal event here before." ”

Dave: "That team had a recent changeover, and we lost two special agents. ”

Jimmy: "How so?" I haven't heard anything about it. ”

Dave: "They were dealing with a Georgia incident and two people died, and there were only six people on that team. ”

Jimmy: "What's the case?" ”

Dave: "Possessed by evil spirits, they can form fantasies that affect those around them, and before our people passed, there was already a town policeman and four residents in the local area hallucinating under its influence and killing each other. If it weren't for the priest at the local church reporting the anomaly, it is not known how many people would have been affected. ”

Jimmy: "Did the two who died attack each other?" ”

Dave: "Well, at least that's what the report says, they suddenly attacked each other after entering a ruined house, and if it weren't for the fact that the others were one step behind, our losses would have been very severe.

Cases like this are said to have not been encountered a few times by the headquarters, and there have been a lot of unusual incidents recently, but unfortunately you can only find them and not destroy these evil spirits like others, otherwise you can consider joining the special task team of the headquarters. ”

Jimmy was a little speechless, Dave and Hughes obviously have different styles, Hughes made it clear to Jimmy before, don't ask these people, don't think about joining them, when it comes to Dave's side, he regrets that Jimmy can't join.

Jimmy: "Okay, but it's hard to spot, and I usually have to deal with cases, so I can't go around and find this kind of anomaly." ”

Dave: "It's okay, just pay more attention to the abnormal cases on the NYPD side, and I will communicate with them as well, and if they can't handle the cases, they will turn them around." ”

Dave took the car keys out of his pocket, "Alright, let's go back." ”

Jimmy nodded and walked to his car. On the way back to the office, Jimmy thought about it, in fact, according to Roland's previous statement, they usually have to deal with very few paranormal events, and Bishop Anderson said that it has only begun to appear frequently in recent years.

Anderson's words made Jimmy very concerned, he was talking about the beginning of the 21st century, and Jimmy came into this world in 1999, which happened to coincide with the growth of what they called anomalous events.

Could it be that his arrival caused the problem here?

Jimmy was in no mood to write a report when he returned to the office, so he just sat on the couch and thought while making tea.

Jimmy comprehensively reviewed what he had encountered over the years, there were not many supernatural events, probably only four or five times, it didn't seem like much at all, but he didn't go to many places, mainly some big cities, and the cases handled in the suburbs were also a case on the Dallas side, and Kevin's friend's side eliminated a phalange.

These are difficult to define whether the number of supernatural cases has increased significantly, but it does make Jimmy have some thoughts, and then think about Roland's return to the Dark Tower World two or three years ago, will it have something to do with Roland?

Roland has always taken the initiative to find these abnormal things to deal with before, could it be that because of Roland's departure, no one has dealt with the cases he handles, so other people feel more and more supernatural events?

Come to think of it, it seems like this is possible.

This is just a possibility, if you can get the data of abnormal cases across the country, you may be able to analyze whether it has anything to do with Roland's departure.

Another point is that you can analyze whether it is related to your arrival in this world.

Jimmy came to this world in September 99, if it really has something to do with Jimmy, it may be because there is a problem somewhere in this world, Jimmy's soul is transmitted to this world, and then the problem gradually gets out of control, resulting in more and more supernatural events.

It's like a circle of protective clothing around the earth, there is a small hole in it, and when Jimmy passes it, the small hole expands, and the back gradually gets out of control and becomes a big hole, and there are cracks in other places for other unknown reasons.

Jimmy's brain hole is getting bigger and bigger, this kind of one-person analysis has no boundaries at all, and from all aspects of the people Jimmy knows, he always feels that the two possibilities he thought before are relatively large.

Jimmy remembered the man, Jack Chambers, the last time he saw Roland, and he informed himself that Roland chose to go back to his hometown to retire and not return to Earth again, if he could go over to Roland to confirm, he might be able to determine if these supernatural events were related to him.
