Jimmy left the Gentlemen's Club late when he left, but he still didn't want to go home, so he went to the bar to relax.

Nia likes to watch horror movies since she comes back these nights, and Jimmy doesn't like those shoddy movies at all, but she can't be forced to stop them from watching.

Dr. Mary's previous advice was not to let her watch it again, but Jimmy didn't want to go too far, at least adjust it step by step, and forcibly not letting her watch it might stimulate rebellion, so he put aside the outrageous tapes in advance, and the rest of the ones he had already fast-forwarded to watch, at least barely watchable.

It's easier to sit in his bar and drink, and he just thought about Ruiz's words just now, in fact, it's normal to think about the ghosts in the bureau, and the underworld has always corroded law enforcement agencies.

NYPD is full of gangsters in New York's police bureaus, and the income of police officers is not high, and it can even be said that in the most well-known cities in the United States, NYPD's income is low. Many police officers who seem to have high salaries can only rely on a lot of overtime to get them if they don't have extra income, so to speak, and it can be said that they make money with their lives, and it is also an open secret to take some money from certain channels to improve their lives.

As for the most hated and helpless organization of the gangsters, it is the FBI, the FBI's crackdown on the gangsters has lasted for decades, and it has been focusing on the big gangs since the Hoover era, but the social class in the United States has always been a hotbed of gangsters, and it is impossible to ban it, so the FBI has not gone too far.

It's impossible for the gang to deal with the FBI, the only way is to hide or arrange the ghost, as for the level of the ghost who takes the money, this can't be determined, and it's not that there hasn't been a situation where an important post has been held from top to bottom.

Ruiz himself used to be in charge of this business, and even took out several big families with heavy hands, so it was inevitable that many people were missed, and the underworld family, especially many vicious organizations, still existed, because there was really no evidence to catch them all, and the gangsters were also very smart.

Now the person who can be called the backstage by a certain gangster, the level will definitely not be low, it will be seen if Ruiz can resist at the time, you must know that if Jimmy really goes to investigate, it is likely to cause a series of problems, especially when the other party may meet with certain people.

Time passed little by little, Nia estimated that she had watched too many inferior movies, and began to let Jimmy accompany her to the cinema to watch movies, and it was not a horror movie or war movie, most of them were drama films or romance films, and Jimmy was depressed.

Jimmy is also helpless, he has talked to Nia many times, Nia only looks slightly better, in fact, she still hasn't given up investigating the supernatural case, but she doesn't have some qualities like Jimmy, she occasionally goes to see the scene and finds nothing, even if she finds a lot of possible clues, there is still nothing to gain.

Jimmy even met with Father Rodney, hoping that they would take Jimmy and Nia with them when they went to deal with the case again, so that Nia could also experience how dangerous evil spirits or demons can be, but Father Rodney could not agree to Jimmy at all, if it was just Jimmy alone, it didn't matter, Nia was an ordinary person, she was still Jimmy's wife, and she had to keep Nia safe before their child was born anyway.

Jimmy is really experiencing the tangled feeling of Hank of the New Mexico DEA now, Hank's wife also has psychological problems, Hank has not solved it for many years, and he has to be worried all the time, although Nia is different from Hank's wife Mary, but now this psychological abnormal state also makes Jimmy a little haggard.

Jimmy again sought the help of Dr. Mary, and Nyoa also realized her problem after Jimmy's many conversations, and did not shy away from going to Mary's studio, which was somewhat better after a few exchanges.

In addition, Dr. Mary also got some leftover information from Nia, and these leftovers plus the identities of Nia and Jimmy as proof, which still shocked Doctor Mary, and at the same time she also made it clearer about Nia's situation, in fact, it is a lack of security, especially as a policeman, who is used to facing all kinds of emergencies strongly, and suddenly encountering this kind of completely unhandleable thing, the gap is too big.

Faced with this situation, Dr. Mary actually didn't have a good way, because this matter was actually beyond the scope of her experience, so she could only try to relax Nya's mind and prescribe some antidepressant medicine to her.

Jimmy has also made up his mind, even if there is a little danger, the next time he encounters this kind of supernatural case, he will let Nia participate in anything, even if it is just a bystander, a little more stimulation may make her feel better with poison, but she must prepare some protective equipment for her in advance, and she can take these things given by the church on her body.

Life is not always smooth sailing, and when Jimmy is worried about Nia, all kinds of things are still moving forward in the established order, and soon a task falls on Jimmy's head, and it is someone else's trouble, turning around from a distance.

At DC headquarters, Peter saw Jimmy walking in with a suitcase, got up and hugged him, "Jimmy, welcome to DC." ”

Jimmy pushed the suitcase next to Peter's office and placed it, "What the hell is going on?" Why did you call me to DC? Ruiz didn't say anything clearly. ”

Peter: "Well, he doesn't know, we didn't give him the case. You sit down first, and I'll gather some people. ”

After he finished speaking, he went to the door and beckoned the people outside to pour Jimmy a cup of coffee, and left.

Soon Jimmy came to the conference room next to him, Peter was at the conference table, turned on the monitor, and a picture of a middle-aged man and a young man appeared on it, with their names underneath, "These are two agents from the Washington DC office, Alex Baker, senior agent, Benjamin Walker, intelligence officer, computer specialist, just transferred to a field position."

They disappeared while investigating a case before, and the DC office has arranged for other agents to investigate the case and location they investigated before their disappearance, but there are no clues, the last location where their phone appeared is in the south of DC, and our people have found several bullet casings there after investigating, and some blood stains, and now it has been determined that the blood stain in one of them is Benjamin. ”

Peter again showed where the blood stains were found, as well as photographs of the surroundings, as well as the location of the bullet casings.

Peter: "The case they investigated before they disappeared was this case of human trafficking, where a victim escaped on the way to the trafficker and called the police in DC, because there were multiple states involved, and now the case is being taken over by the DC office. ”

Peter took several printed copies from his desk and handed them out to the agents present, and Jimmy certainly got one.

The file is not complicated, a 16-year-old girl was kidnapped from Arizona and then trafficked to a small town in Ohio, because she has been locked up in the basement, and the exact location is not clear, but she once saw an expired newspaper that was used to fill boxes as a buffer, so she probably knew that it was somewhere in Ohio.

It is almost entirely conceivable what persecution the girl would have suffered in this environment, and after a few months she was transferred again and taken over by someone else, becoming a slave to someone else.

After three rounds, she was transferred again, this time on the road and into a nearby gas station, where she was rescued by calling the police with the help of her boss.

There are several photos in the file, and the girl on it does not look like a 16-year-old at all, with dirty blonde hair, a thin face, and an abnormally fair skin, and does not look at all the youthful feeling of a healthy teenager.

In addition to the normal photos, there are also a few photos of the scars on her body, many of which have healed, but there are also a few that look very new, they should have been injured not long ago, and it is conceivable that they should have been caused when they transferred her.

In fact, it's almost understandable to think about it, nearly a year of kidnapping, imprisonment, and abuse, not to mention that she is a little girl, and she can't stand it as an adult.

Jimmy stared at the file and couldn't help but grit his teeth a little, this kind of human trafficking case has never stopped in the United States, and some people can be rescued every year, but more often than not, the body is found but no one can be found......

In New York, Jimmy has basically never encountered this kind of case, and the most of them are those gang-controlled women, who do some pornography, of course, they are also miserable, but at least they are better than this kind of kidnapped and imprisoned girls.

They can go out, they can see people, even if their freedom is restricted, and they have to sell their bodies, but at least they have some dignity to live, and they also have a certain amount of freedom to choose, and these girls kidnapped and trafficked by traffickers, in addition to the choice to die, other freedoms have been completely lost.

Just looking at the file, Jimmy was already frowning a little, this kind of case is indeed tragic, but it is very difficult to rely on the clues dictated by these girls to catch the traffickers and those who handle them along the way.

However, the investigation of this human trafficking case did not continue, because the investigation of the case did not take long before the disappearance of the detective appeared, and now their manpower has been fully involved in the disappearance of the detective, but the effect is not good, and there are not many clues that can be determined now.

The movement in the DC office alarmed the headquarters, and for such a major event as the disappearance of the FBI agent, it was still under the nose of the headquarters, and it was impossible for them not to do something, so Peter was arranged to intervene in the investigation.

Peter was also transferred from New York, and now his subordinates have cooperated for a while, but he really can't look down on the ability of these people, you must know that Peter's previous case-solving rate was more than eighty percent, and the normal detective case-solving rate was just over half, so when he received this kind of urgent task, the first thing that came to mind was Jimmy, who had a case-solving rate that surpassed him, and Jimmy was very suitable for this kind of case, the case he was responsible for before was a homicide case, and he was professional in investigating clues to find people.

Peter contacted the Manhattan office in the name of a HQ agent, but the case could not be made public for the time being, so he had to wait for Jimmy to come over and talk to him in detail.

Peter's relationship in the Manhattan office was not interrupted because he was transferred to the headquarters, and it was normal for this kind of temporary secondment to come over to cooperate with the case investigation, but this time it was more urgent, so the Manhattan side did not stop it, and Jimmy naturally came over as soon as he received the assignment.

Seeing that everyone had finished reading the information, Peter continued to show the results of the investigation on the DC office on the computer, including the investigation and personnel records around the place where the blood stains were found, the recent surveillance video, etc., these are all routine investigations, and the DC office has naturally done a very comprehensive job.

After telling all the clues to the agents present, Peter arranged for a few people to connect with the agents in the DC office, and then he took Jimmy back to the office, "Jimmy, I'm going to work hard for you this time." ”

Jimmy: "Nothing, for the part. What does the headquarters say about this case? What's the guidance above? ”

Peter: "Find them at all costs, and the people and organizations involved in their disappearance must be taken." ”

Jimmy: "What if something happens to them?" ”

Peter did not continue, but took out a business card from the drawer, "This is a room reserved for you, in my name, you go and rest first, and when you come to my house in the evening, Elizabeth has already prepared dinner." ”

Jimmy took the hotel's business card and nodded, understood, there are some things that can't be said, so you can only do it.

Jimmy dragged his suitcase to the hotel to check in, cleaned it and began to check his equipment, check the main and spare magazines, as well as the spare ammunition for the revolver, to make sure everything was okay, then got up and went back to the headquarters, and went to his house with Peter.

Elizabeth was still very happy with Jimmy's arrival, and Peter must have told her in advance, so the dinner was also rich.

After dinner, Elizabeth cleaned up the room, and Jimmy and Peter went to the small courtyard in the back, where they sat by the light and drank beer and chatted.

Peter's time in Washington, D.C. is not a pure waste of time, naturally there are also contacts here, this case looks tricky, it seems that he is taking the case as a backstabber, but in fact, it is also an opportunity.

For nearly a year here, Peter basically didn't take charge of any big cases, and at this level, if you want to rise again, you can't rely on seniority, you must have a case to get enough credit.

Peter is still young, in his forties, he is really the backbone of the FBI system, and he is not yet waiting for retirement, and every time he engages in some small or regular cases, he can't show his ability at all, and naturally people who appreciate him have no chance to let him take the position.
