By the time he drove back to headquarters, Hope had already called the technical department of headquarters, and Peter had also received the news that he had opened a small command center at headquarters in advance, where technicians would investigate road surveillance footage.

Jimmy and the others were also observing on the way back, but unfortunately the vicinity of the scene was too remote, and the houses they saw on the road were basically ordinary houses, and they were not found to have installed surveillance.

The clues provided by Jimmy are still relatively accurate, with the model, color and approximate time, the results of the investigation came out quickly, and the technical department successfully found the gray van in the nearest batch of traffic surveillance at the scene of the crime, but when he traced the time and the road he might go to next, he found that the intersection that was originally registered on the system with monitoring, the monitoring turned out to be bad......

Well, this kind of thing is not incomprehensible, and the monitoring in New York has the same problem, and there will be a monitoring vacuum in a large area.

Peter stood in the command center and looked at the screen in front of him, his ears were the results of the technicians' report, he needed to consider a problem, he didn't have enough people to do the investigation of monitoring along the way, if only a few people were arranged to deal with it, it would take them at least two or three days to take a circle along the line, and check all the street surveillance they had obtained.

After thinking about it for a while, Peter still gave up this big plan, if he wants to dispatch on a large scale, there are not many support personnel available here at the FBI headquarters, he estimates that he will join forces with the Metropolitan Police Department, but the police station has not contacted in advance, and it is estimated that there will not be so many police officers who can help now, he looked at the technicians, "Continue to expand the scope and look for the latest surveillance confirmation." ”

Soon Jimmy and Hope returned to the office, Hope took Jimmy to the command center before leaving to deliver the evidence, the blood test will take some time, and the laboratory must be cut in line, otherwise they will have to queue up slowly, and the laboratory will always be in line.

Jimmy: "Peter, did you find a clue?" ”

Peter: "Well, we've found the car's tracks, but due to the lack of surveillance, we're investigating the surveillance." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll wait for news. ”

Peter pointed to the empty seat next to him, and Jimmy didn't bring anything else, just sat in his seat and waited.

Although the headquarters is only a small command center, there are still a lot of technicians, and they quickly confirmed that the car did not pass the surrounding monitored intersection within the specified time, either they did not leave, or they changed cars in an area of the suburban residential area.

After listening to the technician's feedback, Jimmy went directly past Peter and spoke: "You continue to call up the follow-up part of the surveillance, look for the time when the car was last seen in the surveillance, and investigate the information of the car. ”

Technician: "The car has been confirmed, and the model corresponding to the license plate is a sedan, not a van, and there is no way to track it." ”

Jimmy held his right arm with his left hand, touched his chin with his right hand and thought about it, "The owner information of the license plate is retrieved, they are likely to be together, and temporarily change the license plate to this car as a cover." ”

Peter looked at Jimmy in surprise, and Jimmy picked his shoulder, "I used to be a county sheriff in Arkansas, and I've seen this happen many times, usually when a family member or neighbor acquaintance temporarily removed the license plate. ”

Peter turned to look at the technician: "Get the information right away." ”

Peter has never been a police officer, and he has no experience patrolling the road to read license plates, and when he heard Jimmy's words, he immediately realized that this possibility was really high, and sure enough, Jimmy was very experienced in all aspects, and it was really right to call him over.

The information of the person corresponding to the license plate was extracted, not from Washington, D.C., but from Maryland next door, Peter frowned, although the distance is not very far, but the cross-state matter is not easy to handle, and Jimmy can't run over because of such a little clue.

Peter: "Jimmy, I'll go to Baltimore, you won't have to." ”

Jimmy: "Yes, remember to ask people to see from the side if there is such a van near the owner of the license plate, and if so, determine their location." Others continued to investigate surveillance to determine the location of the car. ”

Peter nodded, turned around and left the command center, this kind of investigation really doesn't need to let Jimmy go, it's gone for a day, either let the local people investigate, or arrange for other agents to go through here, DC here has to continue the investigation.

Jimmy watched Peter leave, and also took out the case of kidnapping and imprisoning the girl, the victim girl has not left for the time being, and is still living in a safe house under the supervision of the FBI, her parents should be here in the next day or two, and then see how it will be arranged later, but whether she goes home or continues to be here at the FBI, this case will be dealt with, but it will not necessarily be handled by Jimmy, the main purpose of his visit is the case of the disappearance of two FBI agents.

Jimmy is still very interested in this case, but it is very difficult to solve the case, the girl can't provide relatively accurate location information, and she hasn't got the portrait of the suspect for the time being, and many things can't be dealt with as soon as possible, waiting for the girl's family to come here, the FBI will arrange a painter to paint the suspect's portrait, and now her mental state is not quite right, and she needs to wait.

This kind of kidnapping, imprisonment and abuse of young girls is really damned, and criminals are also graded, this kind of criminal belongs to Jimmy's standard lower than human life, and when encountered, there will be no psychological burden if he is killed.

And this kind of is really not uncommon in the United States, it is difficult to get all the stolen goods, many times the police have no way to take them because of insufficient evidence, even if they are highly suspicious, but Jimmy doesn't care about this, as long as he finds a way to provoke the other party, he has a way to solve it on the spot, as long as the report can be written normally.

Surveillance investigation is a very time-consuming thing, although the population of Washington DC is not large, but there are a lot of cars on the road, even in the suburbs, there is basically no way to see no cars on the road for a long time, and there is basically no way to fast forward much when the technician checks the surveillance, and the time consumed is very long, and Jimmy has not been given a result until the afternoon.

As he approached work, Peter finally had good news, as Jimmy had guessed, the license plate was indeed real, but the owner of the license plate did not have a second car, nor a van, and after investigating him, it was found that his nephew had a white van before, and now he is being investigated at the Baltimore Police Department.

Jimmy was also happier to hear the news, at least it basically showed that they didn't do useless work, although the intelligence was a white van, and the surveillance looked gray, but this is not a problem, white to gray only needs to be simply camouflaged, or dirty can also have this effect.

But look at the time, it's estimated that there is no drama today, how efficient the Baltimore Police Department is, whether the agent can get information or even photos and the like is unknown, so when it was time to get off work, Jimmy looked at it and left the office directly to go back to rest.

The next morning, Jimmy came to Peter's office and saw the information, apparently the agents who went to Baltimore were very responsible, and they not only found the information of the owner of the license plate, but also obtained the information of his nephew by the way.

It's just that Jimmy and they are a little surprised that the nephew of the owner of the license plate did not leave the local area, but worked in a local auto repair shop, according to the results of the detectives' visits, this person has not left the auto repair shop and home these days, and his car is not in his own hands, but lent it to a friend to drive, he does not know where the car is now, according to traffic monitoring, the car has been hung with that license plate before.

This time all the information is investigated, if there is no accident, the car is indeed his, but the color is not right, this needs to be considered, whether the car is dirty and can't see the white body, or they found another car to change the license plate.

After reading the information in Peter's office, they came to the command center again, the technicians were asked to work overtime to investigate last night, and now a range has been determined, the car did not leave the area, and there was indeed no trace of a similar car found in the surveillance.

Peter, Jimmy, and Hope were all in the command center, looking at the marked electronic map, this range is not small, at least ten blocks, and it takes a lot of time for two people to visit this area.

Peter thought about it, called a few people from the DC office, and briefed everyone on the results of their current investigation in the conference room, and called the agents from the DC office and the people from the support agent joint headquarters to investigate the area, focusing on the car.

Jimmy and Hope were also assigned to an area, and it was a key area, just two blocks not far from the location of the missing car, and this time they were going to investigate the person who dared to shoot at the FBI agent, so after the two arrived at the agreed location, they directly took off their suits, put on body armor with FBI markings, and put on a short trench coat with FBI words on the outside, and then began to inspect on foot on the road.

Wearing this, with his right hand on the handle of the holster at his waist, this image represents that the FBI is on a mission, and it is definitely not a simple task, and the people on the road see them dodging one after another, and in this case, they also come to the side of the road to stare at them, basically their identity is somewhat problematic, except for reporters and the like, of course.

Jimmy and Hope would all be outside to inspect the vans parked on both sides of the road, and their gloved hands would be wiped on the body to see the undertone, and soon they would arrive at a gas station at an intersection.

Jimmy motioned to Hope for the gas station, Hope went to the front, Jimmy went to the side, there was a small parking lot next to it, there were several cars parked here, Jimmy went to check the car, Hope went to check the gas station surveillance.

Soon, Jimmy found his target, a van with no license plate just parked in the parking lot, it looked similar to the car they saw in the surveillance, Jimmy took the walkie-talkie from his belt, "I found the suspected target, the van in the gray compartment, no license plate, no damage to the window glass." ”

Hope immediately ran out of the store, and Jimmy couldn't see it in the carriage, but he didn't see a human figure in his mental vision, which was some good news.

Hope also did a check on the car's appearance, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Peter's directly, calling a team of forensic officers to come over, they needed to inspect the car, and before that, he also needed to make a note of the people in the gas station to find out when the car was parked here.

The investigation did not go well, and the staff determined that the car had been parked here three or four days ago, but the gas station staff did not know who the driver of the car was. He didn't care at all, this parking lot was for a gas station, but it also allowed people around to park, and they didn't register at all.

The forensic department quickly rushed over, and at the same time Peter also got permission to inspect the vehicle, because the owner of the vehicle was not identified, and he did not apply for a search warrant for the time being, but after obtaining permission, the matter could be carried out normally, and someone took the blame.

The lock on the carriage was broken, and after opening the carriage, a not strong smell of blood came, and sure enough, I saw dark red blood stains that had dried up in the carriage.

Looking at this bloodstain, Jimmy and they could probably tell that this person's blood loss was already very dangerous, and if they didn't stop the bleeding, the probability of him surviving was not high.

The bloodstain test and DNA match were handed over to the lab, and Jimmy and the others surveyed the surrounding area again, and in addition to looking for surveillance, they also needed to question the surrounding residents to determine what had happened to the car since it was parked here.

According to the situation at the scene, after the car was parked here, they removed the license plate and should have left by other means of transportation, and now they are looking for the car they drove when they left.

Jimmy watched the DC agents who had been mobilized behind him busy radiating from the gas station to the vicinity, he turned his head to look at the gas station, it was a small gas station, only two employees were responsible for filling gas and the store cashier, and now they were all standing in front of the store and watching the agents outside busy, but one of them looked a little nervous.

Jimmy patted Agent Hope lightly and walked over to the gas station employee, he asked Hope to ask another person, he walked to the other side with the nervous employee, sniffled, Jimmy smiled and asked, "You smoked the leaf, right?" Do you still have it on you? …… Don't be nervous, I won't be caught for this, as long as you answer my questions well. You don't want to lose your job and go to jail, do you? ”

Jimmy patted the young employee gently, "You know I can find out about you, I'll give you time to think about it." Who the hell is the person who put the van here? What happened then? ”

Jimmy originally just wanted to talk to him, in this case, there is something going on with people who look nervous, and this kind of person is relatively easy to handle, but he didn't expect to smell a burning leaf after getting close to him, so he didn't run, he must have ordered one before they came.

While working at a gas station isn't a good job, it's a lever for those who are willing to work.

The young employee's expression was tangled for a while, and he would turn his head to look at the other employee from time to time, and finally he lowered his head slightly and said, "I don't want to testify, if you can agree." ”

Jimmy: "Very good, now we have a consensus. I can promise you as long as you give me the news I want. ”

Employee: "Well, yes, I want an informant fee." ”

Jimmy thought for a moment, "No problem, my colleague will take care of it." Now, say it. ”

Employee: "I just saw them, three people lifted two people out of the car, put the person behind a black pickup, and drove away. One of them was from the Tucker family, I don't know the name, only that someone called him BJ. ”

Jimmy: "The Tucker family? Gangs? ”

The employee looked at Jimmy in surprise, "Don't you know?" The biggest gangster here. ”

Jimmy: "I see, you wait, I'll ask a colleague to come over." ”

Jimmy pressed the walkie-talkie for Hope to come over, and he took care of the rest.
