Jimmy got on the Saab class, adjusted the frequency of the car radio, notified the NYPD dispatch center, and then turned on the police lights and sirens and ran all the way to the last place where the suspect vehicle was seen.

Originally, this kind of investigation should have met with the parents of the missing children first, to understand the possibility of potential suspects, and to understand the reason for the kidnapping, but because the car was discovered by the police before, although it is now missing, the approximate scope has been determined, and it must be more urgent to go to the scene to investigate.

However, there are also photos on this document, so if nothing else, it is possible to identify the child's appearance.

Not long after it was opened, Jimmy's phone rang, and he took a look at it and picked it up, "Kevin, what's wrong?" ”

Kevin: "There's a chance you can get involved." Alex Green, the mayor's adviser, has kidnapped his son, so keep an eye out for it, and if you have any clues, take it. ”

Jimmy: "I've been assigned to follow up on the case. ”

Kevin paused: "What? Aren't you a murder squad? ”

Jimmy: "I'm also in charge of the support team, which the supervisor arranged personally, so I can't help it. I had just come out of the bureau and was on my way to where the suspect car was last seen. ”

Kevin: "Any clues?" If you're not sure, come over first, and I'll take you to Mr. Green. ”

Jimmy glanced at the car radio, and there was no news yet, "I see, I'll pick you up at the police station now." ”

If the FBI can get the news, there must be someone relevant to say hello, otherwise the investigation of this kind of case must be handled by the NYPD first, and the FBI must at least wait for them to have a preliminary conclusion.

Kevin's news seemed to be a little late, I don't know if there was a delay in some of the links, but he did inform Jimmy a lot later than Ruiz and them.

But maybe Kevin didn't think about getting Jimmy to help in the first place?

Anyway, since Kevin has spoken, let's go for a trip, anyway, I have to solve this case anyway.

Picking up Kevin at the police station, Jimmy drives to the Upper East Side and meets Alex Green in a flat-floor apartment, where he is sitting on the couch with his crying wife.

Kevin and Green must have known each other, and after the two shook hands and greeted each other, Green immediately asked Kevin about his current investigation.

Kevin: "Don't worry, Alex, this is Jimmy Young, a senior FBI agent, and I specifically asked him to come over to help with the investigation lead, this is Mr. Alex Green, the mayor's adviser." ”

Jimmy: "Mr. Green, I don't want to say anything polite, do you have any judgment about the kidnappers?" Someone you've had a dispute with, or have you ever received a ransom call? ”

Alex: "Not yet. I don't know exactly who kidnapped my son. ”

Jimmy: "Do you remember any special emails or text messages or phone calls at home or in the office?" ”

Alex shook his head: "No." ”

Jimmy: "Do you want to talk to the others, maybe there's something you're ignoring?" ”

Alex thought for a moment: "I'll call the office a few times, you guys wait." ”

Alex walked to the next room, and Jimmy didn't look again when he saw him take out his phone and flip through it.

Alex left the room after making a few phone calls, shaking his head as he walked over, "Neither the office nor the city received the ransom letter or phone call. ”

Jimmy glanced at Kevin, "That's hard to tell, I guess it's better to investigate the suspect vehicle first." ”

Kevin nodded, "Okay, you go, the surveillance video at the dispatch center has been arranged for someone to check, and there will be a police detective here to investigate." ”

Jimmy took out his business card and handed it to Alex: "Mr. Green, please let me know if you think of any person or thing that may be related." Also, can you give me a picture of Elliot's latest update? ”

Alex nodded, took a photo frame from the side, took out the photo inside and handed it to Jimmy, "This is a photo taken this summer, it should be recent." ”

Jimmy put away the picture: "Okay, goodbye, Mr. Green." ”

Jimmy got up and left the apartment and continued to follow the clues of the car, which had been lost in Harlem, and the main area of investigation was Harlem and the Bronx near Manhattan.

In fact, the main force to track down clues is the NYPD, for this kind of high-level government case, it is naturally their current high-priority case, many patrol officers have been arranged to track it nearby, as for the scene of the kidnapping near the school, it was also inspected by NYPD detectives.

Jimmy turned off his lights and sirens and slowly walked around Harlem twice, observing the cars on the road as normal, as well as observing the buildings next to him with his eyes to make sure he didn't miss them.

After Harlem was done, he went straight to the Bronx, which is also the place where they focused on control, but now they haven't found any clues.

A radio notification was transmitted from the dispatch center that someone had called the police for a car burning in a residential area, and according to the description of the caller, the model matched their suspect car, but there was no license plate.

By the time Jimmy turned his car around, the nearby fire engine was already in place, extinguishing the flames, and was now steaming.

There was no way to investigate, all the fingerprints and other traces on the car would be burned after it burned, so the police on the scene arranged to investigate the surrounding surveillance and personnel questioning, and Jimmy began to scan the surrounding houses.

Things are a bit troublesome, the worst result, this car is the car used by the suspect when he escaped, they took the initiative to abandon the car and then poured gasoline on it and burned it, the means of dealing with the tail of the hand are a bit too professional, directly clean up the traces, and the follow-up will be difficult.

Now there are two possibilities, one is that they are hiding nearby, abandoning the car as a clear signal to attract the target of the police investigation, using the habitual thinking of darkness under the lights to hide, as long as the police leave here they are safe.

The second is that they have a spare vehicle here, and after destroying the car, they will immediately get in the car and leave, so there is no way to continue tracking, they can only try to obtain possible eyewitness information from the people around them, and then try to continue the investigation.

In fact, Jimmy's judgment may be true, Alex's side soon received a phone call, the police have monitored his home phone and mobile phone, the kidnappers just briefly said that Elliot was in their hands, and asked Elliot to say a word that the person was still safe, and then hung up.

The call was very short, and the police monitoring and reverse investigation had not yet yielded results, and the call was over, the point was that the kidnappers also used special tools to change their voices, making it difficult for Alex to tell if the kidnapper was someone he knew by his voice.

Kevin had already left Alex's house, and now he called Jimmy to inform him, and Jimmy had to wait for the results.

Soon, the kidnapper's second contact arrived, and he changed his phone to inform Alex that he was ready for two million in cash, and asked for 20 and 50 old bills, and he would be contacted again in six hours to contact him for the location of the transaction.

It is still a short contact, and the police's phone location function is slightly worse, compared with the NSA and CIA, and this time it is still not successful.

Alex Green is an old rich family, and the ransom they are preparing has nothing to do with Jimmy, so he can only hang out during this time.

"Squeak" Jimmy urgently stepped on the brakes, he was also startled, just now a person suddenly appeared in front of his car, seeing that he was about to crash, he urgently stepped on the brakes, his body rushed forward, and was pulled by the seat belt, so as to avoid hitting the steering wheel.

When he looked at the road in front of him again, he found that there was nothing in front of the car, but the cars following behind him also braked sharply.

Fortunately, the traffic is not particularly busy now, the speed of the vehicles is not fast, and the sudden braking has not caused the rear car to collide.

Jimmy parked the car on the side of the road, turned on the hidden police lights, did not turn on the siren, and directed the car behind him to move forward, and the car following him saw the police lights flashing, Jimmy was wearing a suit and sunglasses to direct the traffic, and also stopped swearing and honking, and one car after another left forward, and the traffic was restored.

Just now he was very sure that someone appeared in front of his car, and it only took a sudden brake time to disappear, and there was no situation on the road where someone or anything was scattered on the ground, and there was no tendency to watch the people around him, so it was obvious that something was wrong just now.

Jimmy opened his eyes to observe the road surface and the buildings next to him while directing the traffic, but he didn't find anything particularly unusual, could it be that he was dazzled?

Jimmy thought about it and called Nia directly, "Nia, help me find someone to investigate if there have been any vicious cases on Wharton Street before, such as murder and the like." ”

Nia: "What's wrong?" What are you investigating? ”

Jimmy: "Just wanted to find out. Wharton Street, Bronx. ”

Nia: "Okay, I'll give you a call and ask. ”

Nia didn't ask the reason for the matter, and she knew that Jimmy couldn't have wanted to find out this kind of news for no reason, there must be something. As for why Jimmy didn't do his own research, he probably wasn't in the office.

Jimmy just stood on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette and waiting, and he turned off the car's hidden lights so he couldn't use them for the time being.

Ten minutes later, Nia's call came, and Jimmy answered it immediately, "Is there a result?" ”

Nia: "Well, there are several shootings on Wharton Street, and there are also some burglary murders, a lot of them, do you want to go to the police station first?" ”

Jimmy: "No, not so much, just tell me about the case in Building 76." ”

Nia: "Wait, I'll show them it." ”

Jimmy looked up at the apartment building in front of him, and he could see that it was some years old, and according to the fire escape outside the window, the building was at least a few decades old.

When Jimmy had been looking at it with his heart, the color of the building was similar to the surroundings, but there were some places inside that were darker, which was the biggest suspicion in the neighborhood.

Nia: "I found out that there have been no homicides in this building in recent years, the most recent homicide was in the 80s, and the most serious case was a family murder in the 70s, a family of 7 was murdered in three apartments, and the murderer was never caught on the same night. ”

Jimmy: "Send me the apartment room number where the murder case occurred." ”

Nia: "304, 306, 307, two adjoining apartments and one apartment opposite, they are a family, and the two children got married and bought the adjoining apartment rooms. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I see, you get some rest. ”

Nia: "Be careful. ”

Jimmy: "Don't worry, it's okay. ”

Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at the building, the house number was not visible from the outside, but the color was different on the third floor. Jimmy checked his gun and walked into the apartment building.

There's no news on the kidnapping case yet, so it's a good idea to take advantage of this time to check on the weird situation that almost got me into a car accident just now.

When he reached the third floor, Jimmy noticed something he hadn't seen outside, there were some very thin shadows in the middle of several rooms, like a three-dimensional form of cobweb, but the lines were very thin, and it didn't seem to be anything unusual.

A man just happened to come out of the next house and walked through the lines in the hallway without incident, as if it didn't exist.

Jimmy stretched out his hand and showed his ID: "Hi buddy, excuse me, FBI Special Agent Jimmy Young, there are a few questions I would like to ask." ”

The man who went out with the garbage bag was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened and he dropped the garbage bag directly on the ground.

Jimmy saw that his reaction was not quite right, and put his right hand on the holster of his belt, "Relax, don't be nervous, just wanted to ask a few questions." ”

The man said slowly, "What? ”

Jimmy: "What do you call it?" ”

Man: "David Hart." ”

Jimmy: "How long have you been here?" Do you know of a previous murder in this building? ”

David: "A few months, sorry, I just rented here and didn't know anything. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Thanks, sorry for bothering you." ”

David picked up the garbage bag and walked to the stairs, and after going down a few flights of stairs, he quickly ran down, Jimmy observed his actions in his heart, and could see that there must be something wrong with him, but he didn't know what it was, but it didn't matter, he didn't come at him.

After observing several rooms connected by shadows, switching between the mind and the normal perspective, Jimmy didn't find anything abrupt inside, such as ghosts wandering around in it, there was no one in the room, looking at the furniture inside, it should be inhabited.

Jimmy thought about it, and decided to submit this as the first case of his cooperation with the church, the agreement between Bishop Anderson and Dave, he couldn't do nothing, submit nothing, that would be too shameful for them.

Going downstairs to return to the car, Jimmy drove directly back to Manhattan, and called Father Rodney to meet him in the car, and when Jimmy arrived at the church, Father Rodney was already waiting for Jimmy at the door.

Fr. Rodney: "Agent Yang, what did you find?" ”

Jimmy: "Father, something special happened to me just now, something very special. ”

Father Rodney stopped Jimmy, led him into the church to the altar in front of him, prayed in front of the basin of holy water, then took a small glass of water from the cup next to him, reached out and dipped it on Jimmy, and then put the cup back on the altar, and then took Jimmy to the side and sat down.

Fr. Rodney: "Well, you got a little bit of something not very clean on you. ”

Jimmy looked at the priest in surprise: "I don't feel anything, what is it?" ”

Fr. Rodney: "I'm not sure, it's just a little uncomfortable, it's not serious. Tell me, what did you encounter before? ”

Jimmy: "OK, I was investigating a kidnapping case today, and while I was on the Bronx, looking for clues, someone suddenly appeared in front of my car. I braked sharply, only to find that there was nothing in front of the car.

I thought something was wrong with this, so I asked people to investigate, and there was a murder in a building next to the accident, and I entered the building and found that something was wrong over there and quit to contact you. ”
