Jimmy took the case file that Mark had brought him, and when he opened it, he was a little sick to his stomach when he opened the first photo he saw. Looking at the photo, the deceased should be in the kitchen, similar to the previous case, the head was cut off, but the difference is that the detectives in the previous case judged that the deceased was cut when he was standing, and in this case, the deceased fell to the ground.

The murder was much later than the one in charge of the Hudson Valley office, just before Christmas, and the NYPD had already opened an investigation into the deceased, but they had no idea who the killer was.

This case is not a transstate or serial homicide, so it was not reported to the FBI, but was investigated by police detectives, and if there is no news after a while, it will be dusty, and maybe someone will find him at some point in the future and reopen the investigation.

Jimmy checked the information and gave the file to Mark, "Mark, Julia, you go to the scene to have a look, and re-investigate the identity of the deceased and the identity of his family, check his occupation and related people."

Also, check the scene and see if the deceased had been beheaded after he fell to the ground, and check if there are any tools such as knives or axes in and around his house. ”

Mark: "Is this case related to the field office?" ”

Jimmy: "There is no connection at the moment, the deceased was in a different state when he died, and the deceased did not have the stab wounds on the deceased in the previous case. Go to the medical examiner's office and look for their original records, and check with the medical examiner to see if the deceased had any other wounds or drug effects. ”

Mark: "Understood. Julia. ”

Mark and Julia returned to their positions, checked their gear, and left the office with their toolboxes.

With Julia, a computer master, Jimmy applied for an FBI internal laptop for her, and it will be much more convenient to check information on the spot, Jimmy used to be only one person, and he didn't know much about computers, just basic use, so he used to call someone to ask or wait for himself to go back to the office to check the information, but now it is really much more convenient.

The only problem is that Julia's level is not enough, and some information requires Jimmy to enter the authorization password to see it, but it is not a big problem.

It's really cool to have someone doing things, and Jimmy can leisurely fish in the office and wait for news.

However, he didn't have much time to relax, and Mark and the others began to check the room when they arrived at the scene, and found a little bit of uncertainty, so they called Jimmy and asked him to come to the scene to make sure.

Jimmy was really a little depressed when he received the call, Mark did a good job when he was away before, and he contacted the Newark office directly to do things, how worry-free, why didn't he have so much initiative when he came back?

Reluctantly getting up and leaving the office, Jimmy drove to the Bronx. This case took place in the suburbs of the Bronx, very close to the city of Yankes, and frankly if he didn't know that this was the New York area, Jimmy would have thought it was in the suburbs of Yanks.

New York City and the surrounding cities have been connected to form the New York metropolitan area, and if it were not for the administrative division, the junction would basically not be separated.

Jimmy stopped the car and walked to the front of the detached house, he first looked at it with his heart, it was a very ordinary two-story cottage, a garage and a basement, and he didn't find anything special.

Jimmy walked into the room, "Mark, Julia, tell me about your findings. ”

Julia: "Okay, I'll do it." The deceased died in the kitchen, the location marked on the ground, based on the location of the blood, your speculation is correct, he was beheaded after falling to the ground, the tiles on the ground are broken, there are two shallow pits on it, and it needs to be sent to the laboratory to be restored to determine what the weapon is, presumably it should be an axe.

These are all forensics before, and the anomalies we found are not here, but in the bedroom and basement, you can take a look. ”

Julia led Jimmy to the bedroom, "This painting on the wall, Mark found it. ”

On the wall of the bedroom there is a painting on the wall of the bedroom with a white background of a slanted broken red wine glass, with shards of glass falling and red wine spilled a little.

Jimmy: "Mark, what's wrong with this painting?" ”

Mark: "Look here, the pattern in the lower left corner, I've seen it abroad, here is an inverted triangle with a less obvious S, I've seen K before." I doubt they have anything to do with it. ”

Jimmy took a closer look, this pattern is an inverted triangle, and there are some lines in the triangle, but the hollow part in the middle does look like an S-shape, which is also an artistic design, and it is not so monotonous.

Jimmy: "The K you see is the same?" ”

Mark: "It's similar, except that the K doesn't have such a complex pattern. We once did a decapitation mission, and one of them was the guy with the K icon, and I was very impressed because he was strong, and I had three brothers who had to retire early, and we were lucky, at least no one died. ”

Jimmy: "You think the dead have a connection to him?" ”

Mark: "Yes, these two patterns are too similar. ”

Jimmy: "Take a picture and get someone to confirm when you get back." Also, make sure that the K icon is on something, and if it's a tattoo, go to the medical examiner's office to see if the person has a similar tattoo. What did you say was wrong with the basement? ”

Jimmy they open a hidden door under the stairs, the basement is revealed, and the three of them turn on their flashlights and come down.

Julia pointed to the corner: "Here, unlike other places, there should have been something stored here, but now there is no more, according to the dust from other places on the ground compared to here, there should have been something here just a few days ago."

I think this should be a clue, if the murderer came to find the deceased for something, then it is very likely that the thing here is what he is looking for, maybe he moved away after the killing. ”

Jimmy put on his gloves and touched the ground to look at the dust on the gloves: "It's also possible that the deceased moved the things here first, and then triggered the murderer to come and kill him."

Julia, Mark, look for the nearest surveillance, look carefully, even if it's a little farther away, as long as you can see it. The NYPD was also notified to get back all the evidence they had taken from the place and to check if it was related to the organization Mark suspected.

Julia, informing the Forensic Identification Section, is to investigate the house again, looking for any items carrying special markings. ”

Julia and Mark nodded, "Understood." ”

Jimmy looked left and right, then the ground, and came to the table not far away and squatted, "Here, let people dig up, the cement is not the same color." ”

Julia and Mark came over to look at it and nodded, "Understood." ”

Jimmy got up, "Okay, that's it, arrange someone to handle it, let's get out." By the way, send two K9 police officers over to check if there are any drugs involved. ”

Jimmy looked left and right after leaving the villa, and then walked to the back of the house, maybe it was personal habit, Jimmy felt that the backyard and back door of this kind of house in the United States were really big loopholes, and after he bought a big house, he must install front and rear monitoring.

Mark and Julia's experience is still not enough, the two points they found do make sense, but they missed a lot of things when they checked, Jimmy didn't point it out to his face, there is a small space behind the bedroom closet, looking at the size should be a safe, there is also a space on the wall of the storage room next to it, and the mental eye should be a weapon cabinet.

Of course, he saw both of them with his special abilities, and he didn't blame the two of them, but in the bedroom, Jimmy had seen what they had checked, and the wardrobe had only been opened for a look, and the clothes had not been removed, and if they had moved, the safe should have been visible.

However, this is not a big problem, and it should be found out when someone from the forensic department comes to check it later.

According to the current clues, this case should have nothing to do with the field office at all, so it should be treated as an ordinary murder case, and it just so happens that there are no other cases in hand recently, so let's use this to familiarize Mark and Julia with them.

The arrangement that Jimmy just gave them was to investigate the situation of the deceased and the relationship between relatives and friends, check whether there were any clues that could be used in the surveillance, and the forensic department searched the evidence to determine what the disappeared thing was, and relying on these clues, it was basically possible to deduce what caused the deceased to be killed.

After explaining that Mark and Julia must investigate together in pairs and not be left alone, Jimmy returns to the office.

The field office sent a request for assistance, and there must be something to be done here, but it is necessary to say hello to Ruiz first and let him know about it, so that no one will help when there is a problem later.

With faxed materials from the field office and a cigar case, Jimmy went to Ruiz's office, knocked on the open door and asked, "Do you have time?" ”

Ruiz: "Come in, what's wrong?" ”

Jimmy: "It's the Hudson Valley office. Oh, this one is for you, I bought it when I traveled to Miami, and it tasted good. ”

Jimmy placed the materials and cigar box on Ruiz's desk, and he casually put the cigars on the bookshelf behind him, picked them up and looked at them. After spending a few minutes reading it, Ruiz asked, "What do you think?" ”

Jimmy: "This case is very difficult to deal with, there are no clues, the key is the way these five people died, I personally tend that no one can kill five people so quickly, and at the same time cut off the heads of two people, just look at the photos and you can see that the people in the back basically have no signs of resistance or escape." The case was either attacked by multiple people or ...... The attackers are not people. ”

Ruiz: "You're going to take over the case?" ”

Jimmy: "No, I'd like to contact other police departments to ask if they have a case like this on their side, so that more police departments may know about this case." You know, then there's no way to keep it secret, but maybe you can find other cases related to the murderer. ”

Ruiz put the information on the table, thought for a while, he shook his head, "Don't ask with great fanfare, now that the news of this case has been blocked, once it is leaked, it will cause public panic, and the police department's ability to keep secrets is not strong." ”

Jimmy nodded, "I've thought about that too, so I won't be able to get clues." ”

Ruiz looked at the time, "I'll arrange it to see if there is any information in the other offices." Anything else? ”

Jimmy: "No, oh, we took over a case from the NYPD, and it was also a person who had his head cut off at home, but I just went to the scene to check it out, and with the forensic report, it was basically determined that it had nothing to do with this case in the Hudson Valley office." ”

Ruiz: "Ordinary homicide? ”

Jimmy: "At the moment, it's speculated that yes, maybe it's a gang, a drug dealer, or an enemy, and I'll leave it to Mark and them to investigate." ”

Ruiz: "How are the two of them?" ”

Ruiz's topic changed quickly, and Jimmy replied with a smile: "It's not bad, except for the lack of experience, it still saves me a lot of thought." ”

Ruiz: "Well, that's it, you go back first." ”

Jimmy: "Okay. Good bye. ”

Returning to the murder team office, Jimmy looked at the information on the computer in a daze, what he told Ruiz just now is the reason why he paid attention to this case, to do one person to kill five people with a cold weapon, and let the five people have no time to escape, this is very difficult, it is very difficult to construct the murderer's trajectory in his head, because this kind of action ability is far beyond the level that ordinary humans can do.

The human body is indeed fragile, but to behead the two people, it takes enough time for the people in the back sofa area to get up and escape, unless it is done in an instant, he is more inclined to have an unknown supernatural event there, but there is something wrong.

The people in the field office are not stupid, and they will definitely discuss and investigate this point, but it is not reflected in the information at all, which means that they are not sure to say the conclusions they have reached, because it is too unbelievable, and if they say it, people will think that there is a problem with their brains.

Jimmy is comfortable with this idea because he has experienced paranormal events, although not of this type, but after all, he is well-informed.

At the beginning of the new year, it seems that the days ahead will not be peaceful, which is not a good sign.

Jimmy didn't rush to confirm it, but continued to wait for Mark to find out what they did.

The next day, Mark asked Jimmy for a leave of absence, he needed to go to the field to find someone to confirm the icon, Jimmy arranged for Julia to investigate the clues in the office, she was the only one who didn't worry about her going out to investigate, the possibility of an accident was too great, the crime occurred in the Bronx, not Manhattan.

Mark came back quickly, "Yang, I found out, I brought back some unclassified photos." He opened the folder, took two photos out of it, and pasted them on the whiteboard.

Jimmy and Julia both walked over, and Mark pointed to the pattern on the photo, "This pattern is still different from the pattern we saw, it is simpler, there is no line in the background pattern in the middle, just a simple inverted triangle and K letters, and the tattoo is on the right arm."

This photo is from our victim, the inverted triangle and the letter S, the same as the background pattern of the icon in the picture, if you look at it from this point of view, they should be in the same organization.

Because of the non-disclosure agreement, all I can tell you is that this K is a Mexican. ”

Jimmy: "Julia, who are our dead?" ”

Julia: "Hispanic Americans, the deceased don't have an S in their names, and if it's really the same organization, then they shouldn't be based on their names." ”

Jimmy: "Did you find any surveillance around?" ”

Julia: "No gains, if they were really a covert organization, then the place where he lived must have been carefully chosen, and we didn't find anything around. ”

Jimmy thought for a moment and said, "Until there are new cases, you guys continue to follow up and investigate, and at the same time keep an eye out for other people who have the same tattoos." Focus on checking the deceased's relatives and friends. ”

Mark and Julia nodded, they also understood that if it was a hidden organization, it would be difficult to find the corresponding person by relying only on this connection, and this case was destined to not be so easy to solve.

Jimmy: "Also, give me a picture of the painting in the deceased's bedroom, and I'll ask someone." ”

Jimmy came to the white-collar team with the printed picture, and Ma Hong was still in the office, "Ma Hong, I need your help." ”

Mahon got up, "Jimmy, what's wrong?" ”

Jimmy gave the picture to Mahone, "We found a hidden group here, one of their members was beheaded, this is a painting found in his bedroom, you can help keep an eye out for similar patterns in the art market." ”

Jimmy pointed to the inverted triangle icon, and Mahon looked at it and came to the door, "Neil, come on." ”

Neil Kavrey has not finished his sentence and still needs to be a consultant in the FBI, although Peter is gone, he can only stay, but judging by the smile on his face and the words Mahon greeted him, it seems that they have a good relationship.

Ma Hong: "Help me take a look, do you have any impressions?" ”

Neil looked at the photo carefully and shook his head: "This painting should be made by a novice, not a traditional artwork, as for this inverted triangle pattern, there is no impression." ”

Jimmy nodded: "OK, you guys can just keep an eye on it, it's not too rushed." So, I'll go back first. ”

Jimmy left the photo on Mahone's side, if they can have the best harvest on their side, if not, they have worked hard, no one can know everything, right, even if the case is not solved and becomes an unsolved case, there is no way, no one can guarantee a 100% solving rate.

This case can only be done for the time being, and Jimmy should start working on the case in the field office. He called Ruiz and arranged for Mark and Julia to continue their work and drive himself to the Hudson Valley office.

The reason why I want to come by myself is to see the scene of the crime with my own eyes, after all, I have the heart to observe many things that others can't see, if it is really a supernatural case.

Jimmy hadn't paid attention to his surroundings before, and when he was about to arrive, he found out that the house where the crime occurred was a suburban house, and there were such detached houses all around, and many of the houses were divided by large forests, and it could be seen that the environment here was very good, but it was definitely not a rich area, more like it was close to the countryside.

In this environment, if something happens in the house, it is indeed very likely that the people around will not be able to find out at all, and because of the remoteness, it is impossible for these places to have perfect monitoring, no wonder there are no clues on the side of the field office.

Because of the phone call made in advance, two agents from the field office had already arrived when Jimmy arrived at the detached house where the crime occurred.

Jimmy laughed and got out of the car, "Jimmy Young in the Manhattan office." ”

The older agent stepped forward and shook Jimmy's hand, "Hudson's office Bill Randall, he's Carlos Rodriguez." Thank you for coming over in person. ”

Although Jimmy looks younger than both of them, Randall definitely doesn't mean to despise Jimmy and acts very friendly.

Jimmy: "Thanks, let's go in and have a look." ”

Rodriguez stepped forward and took out a key to open the door, "This place has not been moved since the murder occurred, the landlord has been contacted, and he will not list or rent the house for the time being." ”

Jimmy walked behind Rodriguez, his eyes were open, and there was nothing unusual about the house from the outside, but when he entered the living room, he noticed a problem.

The main door is in the middle, in front of which is a passageway, and further on there is a staircase, with the living room on the left and the kitchen and dining room on the right. The location of the deceased's body is drawn with a white line, of course, the body has been pulled away, but it can still be seen from here that their position is related.

In addition, because there is no cleaning, there are still dried blood stains on the scene, and the smell in the room is very bad, it has been a few days, although the temperature is relatively low in winter, but the smell of decay is still very unpleasant.

The reason why Jimmy found the problem was because the moment he entered the door, he felt that the temperature seemed to be lower than outside, but he didn't find anything like the fog before, which seriously affected his judgment.

Jimmy switched back and forth between his normal line of sight and his mental eyes, put on gloves and squatted down to check the dust on the ground, observed some blood stains, stood up to observe the location of several deceased, and began to simulate the route of the assailant's actions at the scene, no matter what, he couldn't kill five people so smoothly.

Bill Randall nodded as he watched Jimmy move back and forth in the living room, his hands moving in various ways, knowing exactly what he was doing. Under the fame, Jimmy must have a few brushes, but he has not cooperated before, and he is not clear about his case-handling habits, and now looking at his actions, it is obvious that Jimmy belongs to the experiential school that substitutes himself into the logic of the murderer's behavior.

He didn't bother Jimmy and pulled Rodriguez back a bit, leaving Jimmy more space.

Jimmy had to give up after a few rounds of simulation, even with multiple people, and there was no way to do it that smoothly. He turned to Randall and shook his head, "No, I can't construct the trajectory of the murderer, there are still many mysteries to investigate here." ”

Randall: "Well, it's the same thing on our side. ”

Jimmy: "I'll look elsewhere. After saying that, I began to inspect the whole house, saying that it was an inspection, but in fact it was more for show.

When he left the room and stood outside, he obviously felt that the temperature was rising, there was definitely something wrong with this house, but he didn't know when more abnormal things would appear.

For investigating this kind of incident, let's go to Father Rodney nearby, they should be a little more professional than Jimmy.

He took out the phone and dialed Father Rodney's, and soon the priest answered, "Jimmy, what's the matter?" ”

Jimmy: "Father Rodney, are you going to be convenient now?" There's something I need to talk to you about. ”

Fr. Rodney: "I'm sorry it's been inconvenient these days, I'm not in New York right now, I'm in Middletown. ”

Jimmy: "What's going on?" So when can you come back? ”

Fr. Rodney: "I'll let you know, if I go back." ”
