After a month's break, Jimmy returned to New York from the snow-capped mountains of the Alps, which was really a bit unaccustomed, and during this time he had been on the beach and in the mountains, and suddenly returned to a state surrounded by steel and concrete, which always felt very aggrieved, which intensified Jimmy's idea of buying a villa around New York or simply buying a small farm.

He has a small farm under his name, but in Montana, it is the inheritance of his predecessor's mother, but he has always asked Tom's side to arrange for a management company to deal with it, the key is that it is too far away, let alone let him live, even if he goes there once in a while, it will take two days to go back and forth.

If you buy it in New York or New Jersey outside of New York City, it will be much more convenient, and it won't take too long to drive back to Manhattan, so it should still be acceptable, but if Nia can accept it, you have to go back and communicate.

Driving in a traffic jam, although it is only a few kilometers, Jimmy still came to the office slowly, no way, the traffic in New York is not better, he drives his own car, there is no hidden police lights and sirens, and he has no chance to use the public for personal gain.

After parking the car, Jimmy went upstairs with a backpack, the honeymoon was a month, and Mark was handling everything in the department, and it was also appropriate to bring them some souvenirs.

"I'm back." Jimmy pushed open the office door and saw Mark as soon as he said a word, his left arm again with a triangular bandage attached to his chest, "WTF! Mark, what's wrong with you? ”

Jimmy put his bag on the couch, walked over to Mark and asked, "Why is it hurt again?" Is it serious? ”

Mark turned around and was about to stand up when Jimmy pressed against his shoulder: "Sit down, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Mark: "One accident, Julia and I went to investigate a case and got into a clash with a couple of gangsters, Julia was fine, I was smashed in the arm. ”

Jimmy: "Did you get it?" ”

Mark: "No, in the alley, we saw people, but we couldn't confirm their identities. ”

Jimmy: "Any clues?" ”

Mark shook his head: "There's no need to investigate, this time it's just an accident, there are three blacks and two Hispanics among the people who did it, and the characteristics are not obvious, so there is no way to find it." ”

Forget it, since Mark said so, so be it. "What about Julia? I brought you gifts. ”

Jimmy turned around and went to the couch to get his bag, and took out two snowflake glass balls from it, of course, small, inside is a peak in the Alps, the bottom is covered with a layer of snow, shaking will produce the appearance of snowflakes falling, very popular with tourists gadgets.

Mark took one and put it on the table: "Julia hasn't arrived yet, thank you." ”

Jimmy put the other one on Julia's desk and returned to his place, he touched the table and chair, there was no dust on it, it seemed that Mark and they often tidy up the table for him, and it felt good to have subordinates to work. Jimmy turned on the computer and asked, "Have you had any recent cases?" ”

Mark: "It's a case we're investigating, a burglary and murder, the owner and father and son were killed, and the room was turned over in a mess, but because both father and son were killed, we weren't sure what was missing in the room. ”

Jimmy: "Why did you give it to us?" This should be the case for the NYPD. ”

Mark: "The homeowner is a retired FDA employee who just retired last year. ”

Jimmy has nothing to say, the FDA is a federal agency, and it is normal for the FBI to take over the homicide of a federal agency's employee, although this person has retired, but it is still under the jurisdiction of the FBI, and there is really no way to say anything.

Jimmy: "I'll show you the information you've investigated. Also, contact Julia, she's never been late before, what's going on? ”

Mark: "Well, I'll call her. ”

Mark first took a few papers from the table and gave them to Jimmy, then took the phone and called Julia, "No one answered the phone. ”

Jimmy immediately looked up at Mark, "When was the last time she came to work?" ”

Mark: "Last Friday. I didn't contact her over the weekend. ”

Jimmy tapped his fingers on the table and thought about it for a moment, then he said, "Call again, and if you haven't answered in ten minutes, go to her house." ”

Mark nodded and dialed out again.

After a while, Mark said, "It's time, I haven't responded to the message, and I haven't answered the phone." ”

Jimmy got up and picked up his suit, "Let's go, I'll take you along." ”

Jimmy got on the Saab Class, which had been parked for a month, and got on the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn.

Mark and Julia both rented apartments in Brooklyn, no way, they didn't rent an apartment directly near the office when Jimmy first came to the FBI, after all, the right size and price of the apartment here are too expensive, and the right location is too far away, so it's better to just run away and rent a suitable apartment.

Jimmy has been in Manhattan since he came to New York, renting and buying houses here, that is, he can do this if he has money, otherwise the salary is still very stressful for new recruits, after all, it is only 5-60,000 a year, and it can't add much to overtime pay and mess, in addition to renting in Manhattan, daily life is also very expensive, not suitable for newcomers.

When he arrives at Julia's apartment and goes up to the top floor, Jimmy has already noticed that there is no one in the room, so he asks Mark to knock on the door, and he goes to the door of the opposite house and knocks.

"Knock knock" "Is anyone home?" Jimmy shouted as he knocked on the door, but of course the man was still standing behind the side wall, and standing in front of the door was a death move, which he hadn't done in a long time.

"Hello, ma'am, I'm Jimmy Young, a senior FBI agent, have you noticed the lady across the street?" When was the last time you saw her? ”

Jimmy looked at the lady who had opened a crack in the door and looked out, and at the same time opened the FBI document prepared in advance and showed it to the other party before retracting her pocket.

The lady confirmed Jimmy's FBI credentials, and then turned on the anti-leeching chain, "Did something happen to her?" The last time, it should have been yesterday evening. ”

Jimmy: "Can you tell us what she was doing?" Did you notice anything unusual last night? ”

The lady shook her head: "No, when I saw her yesterday, she should have just come back from the supermarket and had a lot of things in her hands. ”

Jimmy turned to look at Mark, who shook his head and knocked on the door with no answer.

Jimmy: "Thanks, ma'am, if you think of any clues, please call me, here's my business card." ”

Jimmy reached out and gave a business card to the lady, then nodded to Mark and motioned for the two to leave.

Jimmy went downstairs and took his mobile phone to call the technical department, "Technical department, I'm Jimmy Young of the homicide team, emergency, please help me locate Julia Lee's phone number of our group, she is missing." …… Yes, please locate as soon as possible, I will contact Ruiz now to give you authorization. ”

Mark saw that Jimmy hung up the phone and was about to speak, Jimmy shook his hand and dialed Ruiz again, "Ruiz, Julia Lee from our group is missing, the phone can't be reached, I contacted the technical department to help locate her location." ”

Ruiz: "Tell me more. ”

Jimmy: "The last time her neighbor saw her was last night, she just came back from shopping, and no one saw her since. I couldn't reach her this morning, the phone was not answered, we came to her apartment, there seems to be no one in the apartment at the moment, we didn't break down the door to check. ”

Ruiz: "I see, if necessary, break down the door and have a look." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, you can give the tech department a call." ”

Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at Mark: "Go back, open the door and go in." ”

Jimmy and Mark were standing in the doorway, Mark had injured his arm, and Jimmy was naturally the one who kicked the door, he stepped back to the wall, took a sharp step, and raised his foot to kick the door lock.

According to Jimmy's physical fitness, this crispy wooden door must have been done with one foot, but I didn't expect Julia to have such a strong sense of security, and she already clearly felt that the door lock position had collapsed, but the door hadn't been opened yet, and there should still be upper and lower door locks.

Jimmy repeated it again, this time finally kicking the door open, and Mark had pulled out Glock in his right hand, aimed inside the room, and then came in after Jimmy, still on guard.

Julia's apartment looked neat and tidy, with no clothes littered, the only thing that was a little messy was a blanket on the sofa that was messed aside.

Jimmy and Mark searched around the room, "No problem, she shouldn't have been kidnapped in the room." Also, I found her holster, she didn't go out with a gun. ”

Jimmy walked straight to the bedroom, the bedroom that Mark had just checked: "Take me to see." ”

In the drawer of the bedside table in the bedroom, Glock had a gun and holster, a spare magazine was also inserted in the holster, which she must have put in herself, and her FBI ID and badge were also placed next to the gun, which were necessary for them to go out, unless it was a personal matter.

Jimmy: "No, there's only one gun here, what's Julia's spare gun?" ”

Mark: "Smith & Wesson 640, stub revolver, with .357 Magnum bullets, is ankle-slung during commuting hours. ”

Jimmy: "Not here, look again." ”

Jimmy's phone rang just then, "Jimmy, I'm Alia Foster from the Technical Department. Julia's phone is in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and I'll send you the address on your phone. ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Arya. In addition, help me trace the movement of this mobile phone number after yesterday evening, Julia may be missing. ”

Arya: "OK, this will take some time. ”

Jimmy: "Well, also, I need to know if Julia contacted anyone else yesterday if she started yesterday and is going to be today. Feel free to call me when there is a result. ”

Arya: "No, we can't read the original message of the call log with our permissions here. ”

Jimmy: "Let people apply for permission upwards, you can extract her mobile phone movement track first, and we will investigate the final location first." ”

Jimmy hung up the phone and glanced at the address sent by the text message, Julia's apartment was in Prospect Heights, and the mobile phone location information was in Williamsburg, which was not far in between, he put away his phone and said, "Mark, the address is here." You continue to check here, and then notify the support agents to come and cordon off the scene, and the Forensic Bureau will come in and check. Your arms are inconvenient, just wait for them here. ”

Mark was rummaging through the closet and immediately stood up: "I'll go with you too, at least it's more convenient for people to investigate." ”

Jimmy: "No, the door is broken, and if you weren't here to watch, it might have been vacated by the time the forensics guys came." Listen to orders. ”

Mark nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for them all to come over and support you." ”

Jimmy leaves Julia's apartment and drives to the location of the phone's location.

Williamsburg is an area of Brooklyn that was a brewing base for beer in its early days, and of course created a complex community of workers, where people of all races gathered, and after years of renovation, it was also listed by the city as one of the goals of the city to transform the environment, similar to Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen.

After an aristocratic transformation and official guidance, it gradually began to become a place of artistic and fashion exchange, which led more and more young people to gather here, known for its street graffiti and various innovative business developments, vibrant culture, rich dining and noisy nightlife.

Jimmy drove to a neighborhood, he took out his mobile phone to turn on the GPS information, checked with the GPS latitude and longitude information recorded in the text message, and found that this was a small alley, and the GPS latitude and longitude information was not accurate to a small place under his feet, which means that Julia's mobile phone could be within a certain range around him.

Jimmy took out his phone and dialed Julia's, he turned his head from side to side, there was some faint buzzing, but there was no way to tell the location, only that it must be near him.

Jimmy looked at the situation at the scene, and could only call the office again to see if there were any on-duty personnel who could be sent out to look for him, but if he couldn't, he could only contact the Queens-Brooklyn field office, where someone came.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Jimmy put on his gloves and began to rummage through the trash on both sides of the alley, his mind and eye could not find a small square in the pile of garbage, it was all mixed together.

Soon a garbage truck drove over, and Jimmy was rummaging through the garbage just where the garbage truck was parking, and the driver poked his head out of the window: "Hey, what are you doing?" Make way for a moment. ”

Jimmy stood up and lifted the corner of his suit to reveal the FBI badge on his belt, "FBI, I need to find a cell phone here, you need to wait a little longer." ”

The driver cursed in a low voice, turned off the engine and sat in the car and watched Jimmy busy.

Finally, before the support staff arrived, Jimmy took out a mobile phone from the large trash can, opened it and looked at it, it was indeed Julia's, and there were a bunch of missed calls in the call log.

Jimmy took off his gloves, took out a handkerchief from the inner pocket of his suit and carefully wrapped Julia's phone, and said to the driver as he returned to the car: "Don't clean up the garbage here for now, we need to investigate some more clues." ”

The driver waited for a long time to get such a result, but he couldn't do it with Jimmy, so he could only swallow his anger and leave the alley.

Jimmy went back to the car and took a plastic bag to put the phone in, this one needs to be taken back to check, if something happens to Julia, there is likely to be someone else's fingerprint on this phone.

Jimmy called Mark to inform him of the situation, and then contacted the on-duty staff of the forensic section in the office, and when he sent back his phone, he would urgently test it, and it would definitely be raised to the highest priority when it concerned his own people.
