679 Alert
This matter can be big or small, Kevin has no clear statement, and it will take some time to think about how to deal with it, Jimmy is not in a hurry to sit down on this matter, and leave it to Mark and Julia to deal with first.
Investigating the use of electricity is not so simple, you need to go through the process to apply, and the cross-departmental coordination of Lao Mei is not as simple as making a phone call, in line with the principle of not wasting resources, Julia directly applied for the electricity usage of each house on the street, including their murder.
The next day, Julia received a fax from the power company about the electricity situation, and she understood the problem at a simple glance, the electricity usage of the house they were targeting was abnormal, several times that of the other houses next to her, and not only the building he was targeting, but also his neighbor's electricity.
Julia reported it to Jimmy, "Yang, this house has abnormal electricity, and the next one, it's possible that they're planting leaves in the house." ”
Jimmy glanced at it and waved his hand, "Well, I guessed it, this matter is not troublesome, you can handle it yourself, think about how to do things solidly, and don't leave a handle for others." ”
Julia was a little stunned, "Shall we deal with it?" ”
Jimmy: "Well, it's not difficult, but the process has to be able to withstand other people's review, and I can't handle everything for you, think about it." ”
Julia took the report back and sat back in her seat, this investigation was not the murder they had been working on, and she really didn't know exactly how to deal with the process.
Jimmy wasn't dumping the blame either, he had already pointed out the biggest doubts, avoiding a detour for Mark and Julia, and now it was easy to just let them reason about the process with a result.
Mark and Julia have also been agents for a short time, and have also handled cases independently, if they can't do things well in such a clear situation, it would be a bit too dogmatic, maybe it would be better for them to go through several departments with more experience like Jimmy.
Mark was still on the OPR side to take over the investigation, and when he came back, Julia told him about the situation, Mark glanced at Jimmy and nodded, "We'll do it, no problem." ”
Jimmy: "By the way, let me know when you get the results, and the New York District Attorney is not easy to mess with." ”
Mark: "Understood. ”
Jimmy: "How's the OPR over there?" Is there any embarrassment for you? ”
Mark shook his head: "I just inquired about the situation, I saw the surveillance footage they provided, the picture is not clear, but it can basically be confirmed that it is me." ”
Jimmy: "Well, there's no way to do it if you have evidence, so be careful in the future and observe the surrounding situation in advance." ”
Mark: "I understand. Now waiting for the results of the OPR investigation, the situation has not yet been announced. ”
Jimmy: "You're short on time, get it done as soon as possible before the outcome of the complaint, and the murder is a good reason." ”
Mark nodded: "Yes, I understand. Julia, let's go. ”
Jimmy watched Mark and Julia pack up and leave, nodded, Mark is obviously more assertive than Julia, only occasionally has some impulses, which is somewhat similar to Jimmy, but he doesn't have Jimmy's ability to turn the tide of the battle in an unfavorable environment, so if he is independent, it shouldn't be enough to qualify.
Julia is more careful, and her investigation of clues is a little more detailed when dealing with cases, which is a good supplement to Mark, but she does not have the ability to handle cases independently for the time being.
This is already good, after all, the two have only been turned positive for less than a year, so they can't be so demanding.
Jimmy's guess was right, Mark and Julia were in the car after they left, discussing how to deal with this matter, first of all, how they found clues, it can't be said that Jimmy pointed out.
Adjusted their investigation of the murder case, it was completely reliable to investigate the residents around the deceased on the grounds of investigation clues, and they now just had to find a reasonable reason for him to go in through the back door to observe the past, and by the way, they could find clues about their planting of leaves.
Back near the target, a black van was parked, Mark looked left and right, knocked on the back door, the back door opened and Mark got in the car and closed the door.
Mark: "What's the catch?" ”
Surveillance agent: "Not yet, after we arrived here yesterday, the people inside only came out once, it was to throw garbage, and the people who came over also delivered takeaways, according to the number of takeaway boxes in the garbage, there should be only one person inside." ”
Mark: "Well, you guys continue to monitor. ”
After saying that, he got out of the car, returned to the car and synchronized the message with Julia, and the two looked at their target house, "Julia, have you found the information of the resident next door with abnormal electricity?" ”
Julia nodded: "Found it, do you need to deal with it together?" ”
Mark: "Let's go check and see if they have something to do with it." ”
Julia told Mark about the next door neighbor, walked over there, knocked on the door, and a man came out of it, Julia still wanted him to provide some clues about the anomalies that might be found on the grounds of investigating the murder, and Mark observed the situation inside the house by the way, but he couldn't see much because of the angle.
Saying goodbye to the man, Julia put away the notepad and pen in her hand, and whispered to Mark, "He also has a problem." ”
Mark: "Well, he's so nervous, not like the usual people who see an FBI agent, but he doesn't see what's inside from the doorway." ”
Julia: "I'll look it up later." ”
Mark and Julia returned to the car, Julia took her laptop to check the information, and Mark looked at the two houses in front of her in a daze.
——
Jimmy didn't completely let the two of them deal with it themselves, he was not familiar with the OPR side, and the OPR director David Martin had only met a few times, it was basically a routine matter, and it was definitely not appropriate to go directly to him, so he had to find the right person to help him inquire.
This candidate must not be Ruiz, and he can't be too much worse in level, so after thinking about it for a while, Jimmy thought of Tim Dunn from the administrative department, everyone in the administrative department knows everyone, and his level is not bad, so it should be no problem to help inquire about the news.
Tim Dunn and Jimmy have been dealing with each other a lot, Jimmy opened the drawer and looked at it, but decided to bring a box of black tea over, and it was not strange to have many people.
Tim saw Jimmy coming over and got up to greet him with a smile, and after chatting for a while, Jimmy put forward his own idea, hoping that Tim would help find OPR to inquire about Mark's complaint.
Tim shook his head helplessly, Jimmy really has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and every time he comes over, he always has to find some problems.
Fortunately, this time I came to inquire for my subordinates, and it was not a major violation.
Tim: "No problem, I'll check it out when I find time." ”
Jimmy: "Thanks, I don't know many people over there, and some things are not easy to inquire about. So first? I went back. ”
Tim: "Go, go, it's not good every time you come." ”
Jimmy left with a smile, Tim just said that, Tim has been very dedicated to logistics in the past few years, and he is definitely a qualified housekeeper, the key is to be easier to speak, of course, this is the case for people like Jimmy, as for others, let's talk about it, anyway, Jimmy doesn't know.
As it turned out, Tim was still very good, and at noon Tim called Jimmy, and the two were out for a light meal, and Tim told him what the problem was.
To put it simply, Mark was unlucky, and ran into an internal activity that the OPR side had just carried out, because there was no action on the OPR side for a long time, and the director David Martin also felt that something was wrong, and called several senior agents to have an internal meeting, asking them to work harder, at least to show that they were not decorations.
However, the OPR itself is an internal monitoring body, and it certainly does not do anything with as much fanfare as other departments, so it has always been very low-key, and outsiders do not know.
For the supervision of agents, the first thing must be to take the content of the department's complaints first, these complaints are theoretically completely anonymous or purely funny and foolish, which can basically show that the person being complained about will always have some problems, and they are not trying to catch the big head now, but to show that they are still doing things.
Mark's complaint was a good time, so he received the complaint within a day, arranged personnel to investigate and interrogate Mark, and the internal process went very smoothly, just because he was in the homicide team, Jimmy's men, so the OPR side was not too tough, first arranged someone to greet Jimmy, and then let Mark go over by himself.
When Jimmy heard this reason, he really felt that Mark should go to the church confessional room to confess, he must have done something bad that caused his luck to be too bad, and it was estimated that there would be no such a day or two earlier, even if there was a complaint, no one would look at it.
Jimmy: "And this time?" Do they have a conclusion? ”
Tim: "Not yet, but I suggest you talk to David Martin and maybe get something out of it." ”
Jimmy: "I don't have a good relationship with Martin. ”
Tim: "It's okay, I'm going to ask in the afternoon, Martin isn't having a good time, do you remember that escaped OPR senior agent Garrett Fuller?" He had been working under Martin before, and Fuller had not yet been caught. ”
Jimmy: "I'm a little impressed, but then I haven't seen him, I haven't asked about it, and I really don't know why he ran away, and I'm an FBI agent!" ”
Tim: "This has something to do with Peter, but it's been a long time, don't care, I guess the above doesn't want him, just looking for him." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll go find Martin in the afternoon, hey, Mark they're still too inexperienced and too impulsive." ”
Tim was speechless, isn't it you the most impulsive person in the bureau?
After a light meal, the two of them went back to the office with a cup of coffee, and Jimmy looked at the time, called David Martin on the intercom phone, and made an appointment.
David Martin still gave Jimmy a lot of face, and didn't let Jimmy wait long, Jimmy came to Martin's office and knocked on the door, "Agent Martin, good afternoon." ”
Agent Martin smiled and got up to shake Jimmy's hand, and the two sat on the couch in the reception area and didn't talk at their desks.
Martin: "It's for Mark's business, right?" ”
Jimmy: "Or do you know me, Martin, what the hell is going on?" ”
Martin: "You know what's going on, and we're investigating according to the normal logic of the complaint, but this time the complaint came with surveillance video, so the process always has to go through a little bit." ”
Jimmy: "But Martin, Mark has a reason. ”
Martin: "Oh? He didn't provide this reason when he came to take over the inquiry, you can tell me. ”
Jimmy: "I'm not targeting you, but from what I know, Mark and Julia are investigating a murder case, an IRS clerk was murdered, and in the neighborhood, they were in the neighborhood to inquire and investigate the neighbors, and as for them to rummage through the backyard, the main thing is to make sure there is anything unusual over there, the murder suspect has not been caught, and there are all kinds of investigations that may be possible." It's just a little flaw in the investigation process. ”
Martin nodded as he listened: "Well, it sounds very reasonable, we have all handled cases, and sometimes it is inevitable that this situation will occur, I understand." ”
Martin looked at Jimmy and said with a smile: "Look, it would be nice to let him explain it like this earlier, but because there is surveillance video evidence on the owner's side, we always have to investigate, and it would be best if we could get him to withdraw the lawsuit." ”
Jimmy raised his eyebrows and understood: "Ah, yes, I'll go back and tell Mark to ask him to come back and make up the transcript, and ask for the other party's understanding by the way, I think everyone is reasonable, and we should be able to understand our distress." ”
Martin: "Well, yes, that's it. ”
Jimmy got up and buttoned up his suit and shook Martin's hand, "Then I'll go back first, thanks, Agent Martin." ”
Martin: "You're welcome, I often come and sit and chat when I have time." Good bye. ”
Jimmy walked out of OPR's office, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
Although Martin didn't say much, there were a few points in it that Jimmy captured, and it was really beating us, it seems that it was not just Fuller's escape that affected them before, but Martin was not bad, at least he gave the perfect solution, and it was much easier to find a way to solve Mark's mistake with a plan.
Jimmy went back to his office, first called Mark and the others to ask about the progress, and then made an appointment for a meeting tomorrow morning, so that they would not go out directly to investigate and no one would come back.
It's not easy to be a good leader, and in order to wipe the butts of his subordinates, Jimmy did his best.
The next day, however, Mark and Julia surprise Jimmy: "Yang, we've got their problem." The people in the two houses with abnormal electricity were together, and the monitoring team had determined the circumstances of their meeting, and then the evidence was confirmed. ”
Jimmy: "Well, yes, it's good to have a catch. Is there any progress in the murder investigation? ”
Mark: "Not yet, the family of the deceased has been notified, but they don't know who their daughter's boyfriend is, and no one knows her colleagues, so now we don't have any clues." ”
Jimmy: "Keep following up, if you can't find it, you'll have to put it on hold." By the way, Mark, Martin reminded us that as long as we get the complainant's understanding, they can close the investigation, and you will deal with it? ”
Mark: "No problem, and besides, I have a reason to approach him." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, go to work, do a nice job, don't let anyone get the hang of it." ”
Mark and Julia sat back in front of their computers, combed through the information, and then went out together again.
