678 Unlucky Mark
Nia and their investigation will definitely continue, with a good start, they are much better later, Jimmy also paid attention to it at the beginning, and then he didn't pay much attention to it, but the phone call with Nia still has to be made to understand the situation and ensure safety.
It's not that he doesn't care about Nia anymore, it's that he has trouble on his side.
Mark and Julia were too proactive when investigating a case, and they went through the back door of someone else's house into the family's backyard, only to be complained about.
Jimmy was confused when he heard the reason why the OPR agents came over, he did herd sheep recently, and the two of them could go out and investigate as much as they wanted, anyway, with him in the background, as long as it wasn't particularly dangerous, there would generally be no problem, but it turned out not because of the case itself, but because the two of them violated the law.
Jimmy: "Are you sure?" ”
The agent nodded: "There is an independent covert surveillance in the backyard of that household, and the angle just covers the location of the back door, Mark They turned over the back door and entered their backyard when they were doing the investigation, but they didn't do anything, they looked and went out." ”
Jimmy: "Did both of you go in?" ”
The agent shook his head: "Only Mark and Julia are outside the back door, but the two of them can be seen in the surveillance video, but the accuracy is not enough, and the homeowner came to complain after getting the surveillance comparison from the neighbor." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, I'll check on the situation first, and I'll let them know when they get back and contact you." ”
The OPR agent took out his business card and handed it to Jimmy, shook his hand goodbye, and left the office.
Jimmy folded his feet on the table, leaning back to consider this complaint, this kind of internal complaint directly stabbed OPR is rare, generally speaking, the most external complaints are recorded, and after a while, they will be dealt with uniformly, like this kind of direct OPR agent comes forward to talk is really not much, not that they have a wrong procedure, but no one will want to do this.
The petition work is the most cumbersome, and the FBI will also receive complaints, which is understandable, but the complaints will not be handled so quickly, and by the time the internal investigation comes, perhaps the complainant has forgotten about it.
And this time the OPR people came forward so quickly, the identity of the person who complained must not be simple, or an ordinary agent came to inform Mark that they were questioning, it seems that the OPR side has some ideas, is this not moving Jimmy to take the people around him?
Jimmy pulls out the phone and calls Mark, asking the two of them to put aside what they're doing for a while and come back.
When Mark and the others returned, Jimmy had been drinking tea for a while, and just as the two of them were also sitting down, Jimmy poured them the teacups and asked, "What case have you been investigating lately?" ”
Mark and Julia looked at each other, wondering why Jimmy was asking this question, "A murder case, the deceased was a clerk in the IRS's New York office and was a federal employee, so the NYPD turned it around."
She didn't go to work the next day after returning home from work, her colleagues couldn't contact her, and when they went to her house after work, they found that she was dead, the room had been turned over, and valuables should have been missing, but there was no list, and it was impossible to determine what was missing.
The deceased was single, had no family and relatives in New York, and did not have a fixed boyfriend, so no one called the police on the day of her accident and was only found the next night.
The autopsy was performed three days ago on the night of death, and the cause of death was asphyxiation, presumably by being strangled by the neck, similar to naked strangle.
Based on the deceased's height and weight, her position in the room and the marks around her, it is presumed that she did not fight with anyone, and there are few signs of struggle, and it can be basically inferred that the murderer should be a tall man with some combat skills or experience in street fighting.
No fingerprints of the killer were found at the scene, probably wearing gloves, and there were no other possible body tissue samples of the killer on the deceased.
We intervened in the investigation the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday and yesterday we investigated around the place of the incident for a while, and today we were supposed to go to her place of work to have a look, and by the way, ask if anyone is familiar with her. ”
Jimmy nodded as he listened, from the current analysis results, there shouldn't be any big problems, the only problem is that the murderer is too sure that the murderer is a man, there are many women who are also very powerful, but this is not too much of a problem.
Jimmy: "Did you go to someone else's backyard?" Mark, I'm talking about you. ”
Mark nodded: "We checked the environment around the deceased's home, her house is a townhouse, there is a small garden structure at the back, we visited several of her neighbors, there are two no one, we looked from the backyard." ”
Jimmy: "Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?" ”
Mark: "Didn't find any clues. ”
Jimmy: "OK, the OPR people came over just now, they got a complaint, you went through someone's back door and were found by covert surveillance. ”
Mark glanced at Julia in surprise: "Julia, did you find out about the surveillance?" ”
Julia was also surprised, and hurriedly shook her head: "Mark went to that house and we didn't find the surveillance, if we knew that there was surveillance in his backyard, we would definitely ask for it, it is possible to find clues to the murderer." ”
Jimmy: "That's interesting, you're sure you didn't find anything, right?" ”
Mark and Julia both nodded, and Jimmy snapped his fingers, "Remember the address?" Let's go, take me to see it. Julia, bring your computer and find out what the hell the family does. ”
Setting off again, Jimmy drove Julia and followed Mark's car straight to Queens, not interested in the murder Jimmy, who was now interested in the person who was complaining.
Judging from Mark's description, Mark just went in and took a look, and didn't meet with their people, just to make sure that there was any surveillance in the backyard to give them a clue.
That's right, he did violate the law, and it could even be said that he broke the law, but under normal circumstances, the complaint handling plan should not be like this, and the identity of the person complaining must be unusual, but Jimmy can't directly ask the OPR person who is complaining, so he can only ask Julia to check it according to the address.
When they arrived at their destination, Mark searched for a while before determining the house number, and they did not act, but sat in Jimmy's car and waited for Julia's investigation.
Julia checked the information and quickly got the results: "I found it, the registered owner of this house is Olivia Williams, and her husband is Liam Williams, a senior assistant prosecutor in the New York District Attorney's Office." ”
She looked into it again, "Wait, there's new news, here's their permanent address on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and it's just one of their houses." ”
Jimmy nodded, that's right, the New York District Attorney's Office is different from the Federal Attorney's Office, which the FBI often deals with, they deal with state and sub-state crimes, but everyone works and lives in this part of New York, this kind of person must be considered a powerful person, and if they complain, it is understandable to let the OPR take action.
Jimmy stared at the house, the corners of his mouth curled, "Julia, contact Prosecutor Williams to confirm who is currently living in this house and whether they have rented it out." Contact him in the name of our investigation of the case. ”
Julia looked at Jimmy, "Anything else?" ”
Jimmy: "Let's see the results." ”
Julia picked up the phone and dialed the number of Attorney Williams, and the information was in front of her, and of course the phone information was there.
The content of the telephone communication is very simple, the agents of the FBI homicide team called his mobile phone, and after verifying his identity, he did not hide anything, the house is not rented, but it is currently used by his wife's brother, and the couple will not come to live here.
Jimmy motioned for Julia to hang up the phone, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Now it's obvious that Mark's action of going through the back door into the backyard has stimulated the prosecutor's wife and brother, and he has used the prosecutor's name to complain to the FBI, because of the identity of Prosecutor Williams, our OPR has also started an internal investigation."
So the question is, why is he so excited because you climbed over the wall to get in? Any ideas? ”
Jimmy smiled and looked at Mark and Julia, or Julia was quicker to react, "He's got a problem, there's a problem with this house." ”
Mark also nodded, I don't know if he deliberately didn't say that he was waiting for Julia, anyway, now the two are on the same page.
Jimmy: "Well, what are you going to do?" ”
Mark: "Let's figure out why, I'd like to keep an eye on him here for a while. ”
Jimmy: "What about the murder?" ”
Mark: "We're going to look into it here. ”
Jimmy: "Alright, work in peace, Mark, you go back and go to the OPR and deal with them."
Julia, submit a request, send a monitoring team to watch him, and you go to the power company to get the electricity for this house. After that, you continue to investigate the case, and here you will wait for the feedback from the monitoring team. ”
Jimmy waved his hand and told Mark to get back to his car, and the three of them returned to the office again.
Although none of the three approached the house, Jimmy had already figured out what was wrong, there were several shelves in the basement and a small room of the house, and there were some plants with leaves on them, the shape was too familiar to him to go in and check.
The monitoring team is to prevent him from running away, and the killer feature is that Jimmy asked Julia to retrieve the electricity situation, directly make solid evidence, and break down the door to arrest people.
This matter can be big or small, if it is someone else, now it may be a headache, Jimmy is also crooked, originally he wanted to find a clue, try to use connections to solve this incident, now it seems, there is a better way, and they can find something to do, by the way, there may be a personal favor in hand.
New York District Attorney Jimmy is not familiar with it, but the NYPD must be very familiar with them, Nia and they have to submit the case to the local prosecutor for prosecution of the suspect, and he also asked casually when he contacted Nia on the phone at night, but Nia has basically no dealings with this Williams, which is normal, the NYPD of tens of thousands of people, not everyone will contact the district prosecutor, and it will not fix a certain district prosecutor, after all, the New York District Prosecutor has more than 1,000 prosecutors and assistant prosecutors.
But this Williams is already a senior assistant prosecutor, so it should be a bit useful, right?
Hanging up the phone, Jimmy pondered for a moment, looked at the time, and he made a call to Kevin, making sure he was home and went out to Kevin's house.
Kevin opened the door for Jimmy and beckoned him directly to go to the study, Jimmy didn't say anything on the phone, but it would certainly not be small to be able to make him call at night.
Kevin: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Jimmy didn't sit down, but brought red wine from the side and poured it for the two of them, "Are you familiar with the New York District Attorney's Office?" There's a senior assistant prosecutor named Liam Williams. ”
Kevin thought for a moment, "The name is a bit impressive, but I don't deal with them directly much, what's the problem?" ”
Jimmy nodded: "I didn't find his problem, but the people who have a relationship with him may indeed have something to do, and they may also implicate him." ”
Kevin stretched out his hand and waved, "Wait, I'll take a look." ”
Kevin got up and sat down behind his desk, took out a journal from the safe, put on his glasses and began to flip through it, "Jimmy, you go on. ”
Jimmy: "My guy had a little accident while investigating a murder, he went through the deceased's neighbor's backyard and didn't contact the owner, and then he was complained to the OPR, and the OPR responded very quickly and came to me the next day, which made me feel a little weird.
I checked with my men about the house, which was owned by Williams's wife, a senior assistant prosecutor, but they didn't live there, but his brother-in-law.
Normal people are not so alert, from the monitoring found that someone turned into the backyard should be called first, but after he confirmed his identity, he directly complained to the FBI, which is completely unreasonable.
I didn't alarm him, and arranged for a monitoring team to be there, and I guess it will be a bit rewarding. ”
Kevin nodded as he listened, and when Jimmy finished speaking, he also checked it almost, closed the notebook and put it back in the safe, took off his glasses and sat back, "The speculation makes sense, but there is not enough evidence, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to do it." ”
Jimmy: "Well, what I'm looking for you to confirm is this Williams's position, if you do something, you may implicate him later, so don't be passive." ”
Kevin thought for a moment, "Can you definitely pull him down?" ”
Jimmy: "Not necessarily, although their relationship is relatively close, but after all, they are not his own brother, and the forcible association is still a bit of a lack of evidence, but the cover-up must not have run away." ”
Kevin thought for a moment, "How sure are you?" ”
Jimmy: "60 percent, I'm pretty sure there's something going on with the guy in that house, he's so nervous that the FBI agent jumped into his backyard, and it's certainly not going to be small, but I'm not sure what it is." ”
Kevin nodded: "I understand, it's always right to make some preparations in advance, let me know if there is any news later, I also have a few acquaintances over there at the ground check." ”
Jimmy picked up the glass and touched it with Kevin: "Then I'll go back first, good night." ”
