Closing the case press conference, Jimmy finally relaxed and left the conference room, he reached out and unbuttoned the top of his tie and shirt, "Isabel, how am I doing?" ”

Isabel smiled and said: "Very good, much better than the case press conference you hosted last time, it seems that not letting you attend more press conferences in the first place is a big mistake and a waste of your talent." ”

Jimmy: "Spare me, I really don't like this environment, if it wasn't for the meeting of several superiors yesterday, I would definitely run as far as I wanted." Okay, that's over, I'm back in the office. Good bye. ”

Jimmy and Isabel hugged and said goodbye, although they were barely former colleagues, in theory they shouldn't be so close, shaking hands and saying goodbye or waving their hands would be over, but Jimmy's press conference today was a success, and he was a little excited for a while, so he opened his arms.

Julia and Mark were also next to the press conference, and now that it was over, the three of them were on their way back to the office, and Jimmy said, "Mark, Julia, you two should discuss it yourself, take turns to take a day off, change your mood and come back to work." ”

Julia glanced at Mark, "Mark, you can rest first, and go to the hospital to see the injury on your head." ”

Mark nodded: "OK, then I'll take a break tomorrow." ”

Jimmy: "Don't run around during breaks, there may be an OPR inquiry meeting that requires your participation recently." ”

The two looked at Jimmy in surprise, and Mark asked, "What inquiry?" ”

Jimmy: "The playground shooting, you also participated in the shooting, this is a normal process, but because the case is being investigated and handled, it was not opened before, and now that the case is over, I guess you will also participate." ”

Mark: "What about you?" ”

Jimmy laughed, "Don't worry about me, I've experienced this situation a lot before, in fact, it won't necessarily happen this time, just remind you to be careful." ”

Mark: "OK, I see. ”

Back in the office, Jimmy is lazy again and asks Mark and Julia to investigate the second shooter's family and friends, since Will is dead and his line is now temporarily interrupted, so the second shooter is the focus now.

Although Jimmy said at the press conference that the case is over, he also told the truth that they will continue to investigate the relevant information to determine whether the shooting is related to the terrorist attack or criminal organization, and if so, then the follow-up investigation may not be able to continue with the homicide team.

Finally able to get off work normally today, Jimmy made a special trip to Whole Foods to buy dinner materials, and went home to treat himself.

After dinner, Jimmy and Nia sat on the couch watching TV and chatting about gossip, and finally saw the news of their press conference. In fact, the content of the press conference was already broadcast in the afternoon, but it was a newsletter at that time, and it took time to process the live video of the press conference, so there was a live video and Jimmy on the big screen on the evening news.

It was also the first time that Nia had seen the details of these cases, and when Jimmy came back before, Nia only asked about the results and did not let him tell the details.

Nia: "Is this case all over?" Did you really shoot and kill four gunmen? ”

Jimmy nodded, holding Nia and reaching out to play with the ends of her hair, "In both cases, it was two gunmen, but unfortunately we went a little late, and they still shot at the citizens." ”

Nia: "Really? Two children died? ”

Jimmy still gritted his teeth a little when he talked about this topic: "It's true, their identities were not mentioned at the press conference, but their families were contacted after the shooting was confirmed." These gunmen are really damned. ”

In fact, Jimmy really couldn't see the child being shot, and when he arrived at the scene of the shooting, he already regretted that he didn't blow the heads of the two gunmen in the first place.

He deliberately avoided the key points when he fired, and if it weren't for the fact that they had to fight back later, Jimmy wanted to spare their lives for follow-up investigation.

But after watching the scene, Jimmy is really glad that he didn't leave them behind, and letting them go to hell is the best relief for these children.

Jimmy thought for a moment and swept Nia's face with the ends of his hair: "I'm going to the scene of a shooting tomorrow morning, and you remember to remind me to go buy flowers." ”

Nia: "Yes, do you need me to come with you?" ”

Jimmy: "No, I'll do it myself." ”

Nia took the remote control and looked at it for a while, then she turned to look at Jimmy, "Then do you want to go to church?" It's been a long time since you've prayed. ”

After all, the two are together, Nia actually already knows that Jimmy is not a believer, he has never participated in church activities, and he still wore a cross pendant a long time ago, and then he simply stopped wearing it, all kinds of signs indicate that Jimmy's believer status has a lot of water.

As you could tell from what Jimmy had just said, he was obviously in a much worse mood when he talked about his two children, and a visit to church might have reassured him a little.

Jimmy: "Oh, it's okay to go, I haven't been there in a while. ”

Jimmy kissed Nia, looked her in the eye and smiled and said, "Thank you." "Fortunately, Nia reminded me that Jimmy had forgotten the believer character he had created before, and it seems that he hadn't gone to the church confessional after killing some people before, so let's go there, it's somewhat useful.

The next day, Jimmy got up early, washed up and prepared breakfast, because he had to go to the office today to continue the follow-up investigation and write the closing report, so the trip to the park had to leave early.

He changed into a black suit, shirt and tie, said goodbye to Nia and drove to the Queens Zoo.

Jimmy got out of the car, clutching a bouquet of white flowers with black ribbons wrapped around it and the names of the two children written on them. He walked into the park and looked around at his surroundings and found that calm had been restored, but the surrounding cordon and the white line markings on the ground still reminded him of the tragic scene of the shooting.

There are already a few photos of the deceased placed here next to the scene of the shooting, and there are wreaths, flowers and candles on the ground, which look like they should have been placed here yesterday, and the flowers are showing some signs of withering, and it is still early, so no one is here either.

Jimmy walked over, stood in front of the photo, found the picture of the two children, looked at the smile on their photo, and flashed the shooting in his head.

In any case, the children are innocent victims, looking at the photo Jimmy felt a little sad, he bent down and put down the flowers in his hand, got up and took off his sunglasses, put his hands on his lower abdomen, closed his eyes and bowed his head in silent condolences.

Jimmy looked up and put on his sunglasses, took another look at the scene, and turned to leave.

This is the first time that a child has died in Jimmy's case, and it is still sad that there have only been cases of minor deaths in school shootings before, but after all, this is not a tragedy because of himself, so he is just sad and has not been affected too much.

After leaving the park, Jimmy went to church, and although he knew Father Rodney, this time he had only come to pray, so there was no need to inform him.

Jimmy sat on the bench with his hands on his forehead and whispered a prayer.

When he looked up, Father Rodney was standing not far in front of him and watching, "Jimmy, what's going on?" ”

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, it's nothing, just a case where two children were killed, and I'm here to pray for the dead." ”

Fr. Rodney: "May God bless them. Seeing you come over so early, I thought you had found something again. ”

Jimmy shook his head: "No, I've been working on cases lately and haven't gone anywhere else. What happened to my cross? ”

Fr. Rodney: "Wait a few more days, I'll let you know in advance." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, thank you, Father Rodney. So, I'll go back first. Good bye. ”

Father Rodney escorted Jimmy out of the church gate, turned around and went back to the church, Jimmy got in the car to take a look at the church, and then started the car and went back to work.

At noon, Ruiz called Jimmy, and when he came to Ruiz's office, he received a not-so-good news.

Ruiz: "Jimmy, you sort out the current investigation and case reports, and prepare to hand over the case to the counter-terrorism team. ”

Jimmy raised an eyebrow, "Are they in such a hurry?" Our investigation isn't completely over yet. ”

Ruiz: "The anti-terrorism team hasn't done anything for a while, and there is a good chance that there will be a follow-up to this case, so let them handle it." ”

Sure enough, the most important thing is that in the first half of what Ruiz said, there was no action on the side of the anti-terrorism team, because there had been no terrorist attacks or high-risk criminal organizations for a long time, and the anti-terrorism team and the corresponding support personnel occupied almost half of the staff in the office, and it was impossible to gain nothing all the time.

Now that these three cases have met the conditions of a series of major cases, and the four gunmen are all retired soldiers, the possibility of forming a team is very high, and there must be relevant gains in the investigation of this kind of case, or they can definitely frame a list of potential terrorist activities according to these four people, so that their manpower will have more suitable cases to arrange.

Jimmy smiled and shook his head, "Then let's close the three cases first, Mark and Julia have been working hard for a long time." ”

Ruiz nodded: "You can arrange this, their goal is to follow up the investigation." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll take care of it when I get back." By the way, Mark's business ......"

Ruiz: "I already spoke with David Martin from OPR yesterday and will wait for them to do an internal discussion before deciding whether to start an investigation. ”

Jimmy: "He's got his gun back." ”

Ruiz: "But the news had already come out at that time, there were too many people who handled it, and it was not clear where the news came from, maybe it was just their unintentional mistake, anyway, the OPR side had actually gotten the news." ”

Jimmy hammered his left hand, and at that time Mark was knocked down, and he checked himself to find that his gun was missing, and Ruiz was indeed notified, the forensic staff at the scene, and the hospital, all of which may have leaked the news.

Also, he made a deal with Black Wolf for the clues of the shooting, which was known to federal prosecutor Adam Maxwell, and the Black Wolf's deal directly blocked Jimmy's reason to arrest him again, and it was even more difficult for Mark to get it.

Jimmy: "Can you do it?" ”

Ruiz: "I'm not sure yet, but I'll try to deal with it, and you don't have to worry too much about Mark." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Then please, if necessary, I can talk to David, I handled the deal with the Black Wolf in the first place." I'll go back first, Mark is resting today and going to the hospital, Julia and I will sort out the information first. ”

Jimmy and Julia rechecked the information to make sure it was all in order, and then began to pack the cardboard boxes, and in the afternoon the three agents walked into Jimmy's office, checked their identities, and left with the cardboard boxes.

Before leaving work, Jimmy received a call from the OPR office, informing Jimmy that the OPR would hold an internal hearing in two days for Mark's possible negligence, and that Jimmy, as Mark's immediate superior, would also need to be aware of it in advance, and they would inform Mark later.

Ruiz's face doesn't seem to be so big on the OPR's side, and Jimmy can only reluctantly agree, but he asks to participate in the hearing, and the OPR needs to think about it before giving news.

After the case was handed over, Jimmy's team was idle again, and when Mark returned to work, Jimmy chatted with him and could only improvise on the content of the hearing.

Although Jimmy said that he had participated many times, he was not in the same situation as Mark, and coupled with his previous files, in fact, the OPR was not aimed at Jimmy before, but he was a little too conspicuous at that time.

Mark set the time for the meeting, and then thought about the problem he might have, Jimmy had planned to directly ask Adam Maxwell, the federal prosecutor, to come over as a witness, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up, and said it when he was asked. Federal prosecutors are no small people, and although Jimmy can initiate a summon, it's better to go through the process normally.

In the conference room, the OPR personnel were in place, Jimmy was listening, sitting at the very edge, and Mark came in from the outside and sat across from the OPR personnel.

The OPR may have gotten some information in advance, but they simply inquired about the attack on Mark, and it ended quickly afterward.

After Mark left the room, Jimmy stood up, "Guys, wait a minute, I'll add one more detail. Mark received my request to investigate the lead, and it was entirely for a reason, not a subjective mistake on his part.

The man who attacked Mark, that black wolf, I made a deal with Mr. Adam Maxwell, the federal attorney, and he provided clues about Will Scott, the main culprit in the mass shooting in Queens, and we did not indict him for assaulting Mark.

I think this needs to be documented as well, and you can check with Mr. Maxwell. ”

The OPR agent smiled and said to Jimmy, "Agent Yang, we have already investigated the situation you said, please rest assured, we will not target Agent Mark." ”

Jimmy: "That's all the hard work, goodbye." ”

Jimmy walked out of the conference room and found Mark to comfort him, and then he had to wait for the conclusion of the OPR.

The next day, the OPR issued their decision to issue an internal warning to Mark, and although this time it was not his subjective negligence and negligence, and Jimmy recovered the gun on the same day to make up for Mark's mistake, it was impossible to go completely unpunished.

The warning was already very light, and it was a perfectly acceptable result for Jimmy and Mark, and if it was any more serious, it would have been suspended for a while, in which case, Mark's future at the FBI would be almost gone.
