The next day, when Jimmy was at work, he received a call from Alex again, and Elliot had slept soundly last night, and he made a special call to thank Jimmy.

Yesterday's conversation worked, and Jimmy was very happy, and it seems that Dr. Mary's advice is very good, maybe I can consider becoming a psychiatrist or something in the future.

In the office, yesterday's case analysis continued, Jimmy didn't stay in the homicide team for a long time, but he was already very experienced, and he handled everything, and it was no problem to explain to Julia and Mark, the two newcomers, and the case itself was done by himself, for some details that were not in the report, his description was more refined, and he also added some content that he thought at the time, comparable to when Jimmy was an instructor at the Kuanti Academy of Sciences.

Through the analysis of past cases, Jimmy also found some characteristics of the two people, Mark is relatively more inclined to ask about the recovery of the crime scene, especially Jimmy's course of action and decision-making process, while Julia is more careful, mainly focusing on the content related to the evidence, inclined to the completeness of the case, more attention to detail, and more focused on compliance with the norms.

Compared to their former careers, it can be seen that Mark is a man of action like Jimmy, while Julia is actually very good for intelligence analysis, and their Quanti Academy report is very accurate.

Jimmy was checking the information when Julia suddenly shouted, "Look at the news, the big event is here again." As he spoke, he pressed the remote control and raised the sound of the TV.

Jimmy's office also has an unswitched off TV, which is on the 24-hour news station the whole time, and I have to say that these reporters are really fast, and sometimes they get information about major cases faster than the police.

The news is playing an emergency broadcast of a shooting in Felix Park, Brooklyn, the news broadcast is that multiple people were shot, the casualties are unknown, and the people who were shot were basically people who enjoyed the afternoon in the park.

The news picture looks like the impact is still very strong, the grass is scattered with all kinds of sundries and toys, it can be seen that there should be a lot of people playing in the shade on this grass before, the shooting distance is a little farther, and there are already several nearby policemen at the scene to maintain order, so there is no specific situation of the injured.

Jimmy: "Alright, turn down the volume. ”

Julia turned to look at Jimmy in surprise, "Aren't we going to get involved in the investigation?" ”

Jimmy shook his head: "The first department to deal with the shooting is the local police department, and I have also seen it on the news, and there are already patrol officers who have arrived at the scene to maintain order and find the gunman, and we don't need to intervene for the time being." ”

Julia: "Why? Mark, you know what? ”

Mark shook his head and looked at Jimmy as well.

Jimmy: "Alright, I'll tell you about the principles of the case. When you were at the academy, you should know that if the case involves a multistate crime, terrorism, or a federal agency, we are going to get involved in the investigation, and the other is a vicious case, a serial homicide case, a case that has a bad impact or is easy to cause a copycat crime.

It was true that there were an unknown number of injuries or fatalities in this shooting, but they were in Brooklyn, and the first priority was the NYPD, and they only brought it in if they found that the case was outside of their jurisdiction, usually to the state police first, and then to us.

Of course, if there are federal agency personnel among these injured people, we can take over the case directly, but usually, we rarely take the case directly from them.

Although this shooting seems to be bad and has a great impact, it is still within the scope of what the NYPD can handle, so let's just pay attention to it.

If they have an intelligence need, we can help, but other than that, we have to wait for them to deal with it.

Also, if the NYPD determines that there is a suspicion of terrorism, they will also contact us immediately, you know that the social impact of mass shootings is very large, and it is not ruled out that they will throw the case directly at us because of pressure and interference. ”

Julia and Mark looked at each other, nodded to Jimmy, turned off the TV, and continued to check the case file.

Jimmy looked at their state, although they seemed to be reading the information, but they were obviously a little distracted, it seemed that they still didn't fully understand the issue of the ownership of the case, but this is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, let's take it slowly in the future.

Jimmy and his team were not notified to assist in the investigation until the end of the day, and it seems that the NYPD has resisted the pressure and decided to take the case on its own. They cleaned up and left straight away.

Jimmy turned on the TV after he got home, and changed several stations to talk about the shooting, and it was obvious that there was no news control now, and it was estimated that the pressure on the NYPD side would be very great, and I don't know if Kevin and these NYPD upper-level figures are now being harassed and pressured by all kinds of people, and it is estimated that there is no rest today.

Nia is still recuperating at her house and has not returned, Jimmy called her, Kevin has been staying at the police station and has not come home, it seems that the previous guess is correct, and the NYPD is going to be busy today.

Nia also regrets that she was injured at the wrong time, otherwise she would have been able to join the investigation team to deal with the case together.

Jimmy was speechless, who would make up this kind of case, it was very troublesome to investigate, and the murderer might not be found, and the case would not affect his personal future.

After chatting with Nia on the phone, Jimmy hung up the phone and rested.

In the early hours of the morning, Jimmy's phone rang, he glanced at the number and sat up, leaning against the bedside to answer the phone, "Kevin, what's going on?" ”

Kevin: "You slept?" ”

Jimmy glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, "It's half past one in the morning." ”

Kevin: "Well, I didn't pay attention to the time, I'm still at the police station. Did you know about today's shooting? ”

Jimmy: "Saw the news, how's the investigation going?" ”

Kevin: "With a little clue, you may need to intervene in the future, I told you in advance, and they should contact you tomorrow." ”

Jimmy: "Serious? ”

Kevin: "Well, the detectives in the bureau are still not as professional as you in the investigation of this kind of case, and now there is a lot of pressure on all sides, they have discussed it before, and they are ready to transfer the case." ”

Jimmy: "I see, even if this case is transferred to the FBI, it doesn't matter if it's for me, if it involves terrorism, it may be transferred to the counterterrorism team. ”

Kevin: "Well, that's it, you can rest." Good night. ”

Jimmy: "Good night, you get to rest early, too." ”

Jimmy hung up the phone, thought for a while and went back to sleep, now the situation of the case is not clear, it is useless to think more, anyway, someone is going to dump the pot, someone will always follow.

Jimmy waited for news after going to work, and finally waited for Ruiz's call. Ruiz was also unlucky, and he encountered such a bad case as soon as he came to power.

Jimmy picked up his clothes and went to Ruiz's office, "Ruiz, was it yesterday's shooting?" ”

Ruiz nodded, "I just received a call from the NYPD, and they still want us to lead the investigation in this case." ”

Jimmy: "Shooting or terrorism?" ”

Ruiz: "Let's deal with the shooting, and just take the two of them to get acquainted with it." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, but this case is probably more troublesome, and I need a technical team and some support agents to conduct an on-site investigation. ”

Ruiz: "No problem, I'll arrange it." ”

Jimmy: "Then let them bring the materials." ”

Ruiz nodded, and Jimmy left his office and returned to the Homicide Unit office.

"Papapa" Jimmy clapped his hands as he entered the door, "Okay, you guys clean up, wait for the NYPD to send the materials over, and we'll deal with yesterday's shooting." ”

Mark: "The NYPD gave up? ”

Jimmy: "Well, they're inexperienced and a little stressful. Clean up, Julia, and bring two whiteboards. ”

Waiting for the NYPD people to bring over yesterday's on-site investigation and materials, Jimmy was a little dumbfounded, three large cardboard boxes, this is a bit of a lot of information.

Jimmy: "So much information? Detective Ronald, I would like to ask you to tell us about the case and the current progress of your investigation. ”

Detective Ronald is the head of the NYPD, and the investigation into the shooting was conducted under his leadership.

Ronald nodded, opened the box and took out a stack of photos from inside, and sucked it on the whiteboard with a magnetic clasp: "Yesterday at 1:37 p.m., someone in Felix Park, Brooklyn, shot at people resting and playing on the grass, killing a total of three people and injuring five others, and now the deceased is in the morgue of the medical examiner's office, and the injured are in the Royal Peaks Hospital in Brooklyn, and they are out of danger."

Felix Park has been temporarily closed, and the first patrol officers to arrive after the shooting were seven minutes later, when the people in the park had dispersed and they did not find anyone with guns at the scene in the park.

What is certain is that the gunman was using a semi-automatic rifle, and judging by the sound of the gunshots, he fired in a burst manner, and the gunfire came from the park parking lot. ”

Detective Ronald posted photos of the dead and wounded at the scene, then took out a map of the park and hung it on the whiteboard, "This is a map we drew based on the scene, these red dots are the locations of the dead and wounded, and the location of the gunman should be the parking lot in the southeast." ”

He took out two more CDs, "This is the surveillance video of the entrance to the parking lot of the park, because of the angle, there is no gunman in the surveillance, and there is no surveillance inside the park." ”

He took out a USB flash drive again, "This is a video taken by a tourist with a mobile phone, but only the part where people scattered and fled after the gunshot, and the video of the gunfire and the shot in front is not in it." ”

He pointed to one of the boxes, "The information here is our investigation of the shooting scene, photos, left behind items, etc. The information of the other three dead and five wounded has also been investigated, and no special relationship has been found between them.

The other box contains a record of our inquiries with the park rangers, cleaners, security guards, and people who were still in the park at the time, because this case is relatively large, and we arranged a lot of people, so we have not compiled this information after collecting it yesterday......"

Looking at these boxes, Jimmy is really big, and I don't know how long it will take to sort out the information.

Jimmy: "Thanks, Detective Ronald, could you take us to the scene?" Or arrange for the patrol officer who was the first to arrive at the scene yesterday to cooperate with us. ”

Ronald: "Absolutely. ”

Jimmy: "Mark, Julia, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Julia and Mark's car has not been matched, they are driving their own private car, and Jimmy is too lazy to toss, so he directly let them get into his Sabo class car and drive with Detective Ronald to Felix Park in Brooklyn.

Felix Park is not very big, and now it is temporarily closed because of the shooting, and there are no tourists inside, except for a few people who are bored outside.

Jimmy showed his ID and got under the police cordon, Jimmy looked around the park and said to Detective Ronald, "Let's go see the scene first." ”

Because the shooting was yesterday, and there were still the signs and the location of the body drawn during the evidence collection yesterday, Jimmy and the others stood behind the body and looked in the direction of the parking lot, and changed a few positions, and the angle from which the parking lot could be seen was almost certain.

Jimmy was about to leave to go to the parking lot when he suddenly stopped, "Mark, Julia, what do you guys think after watching the scene?" Julia, let's talk about it first. ”

Julia glanced at Mark, then looked at Jimmy and said, "The gunslinger is trained and has good marksmanship. ”

Jimmy: "Reason. ”

Julia: "The dead and the wounded who were shot were in a lot of concentration, and after the shot they were shot, they ran around, and it wasn't easy to hit these people while running. The location of the parking lot is more than 150 meters away from here, and it is difficult to aim and shoot so many people at this distance. How many shots the gunman fired is uncertain, but it is estimated that it should be within one magazine, 20-30 rounds. ”

Jimmy: "Mark, you have military experience, what do you think?" ”

Mark: "It should be someone who has been trained in shooting, and it is not excluded that there is experience in military service." A survey was also needed at the scene to see if there were any shots around the area, and based on the trajectory of the shot, it was possible to approximate where he was firing. ”

Jimmy: "Well, you'll walk around later, now let's go to the parking lot." ”

The parking lot is not big, in fact, the parking lot here is a small area, about four rows of parking. Jimmy stood in the parking lot and looked at the grass where the shooting took place, moving the simulated firing line continuously, and finally identified three possible directions.

Of course, this so-called confirmation direction is only an approximate direction, and the actual position needs to be reversely calculated according to the trajectory of the shot.

Jimmy still asked Julia and Mark to guess where the gunman was firing, and their judgment was basically the same as Jimmy's.

Jimmy looked at the parking lot, there was no shelter around here, if the gunman was standing here and shooting, there would be witnesses, after all, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still a lot of people in the park at that time.

Jimmy: "Julia, keep a record of all the cars parked here, and when we get back, you can look into the footage of the parking lot, register all the cars that appear in it, and check their identities one by one." In addition, the NYPD also checked the inquiry records to see if anyone was near the parking lot at the time of the crime. ”

Julia: "Okay. ”

Jimmy: "Mark, you go to the place where you were shot and look for any other bullet holes, and watch out for trees and other obstacles between us." Go ahead. ”

Mark: "Okay. ”
