697 speculation
This interrogation is very simple, as long as there is a slight threat, the intensity of the activities of these people in the Tucker family tonight is enough to frighten Bob.
He didn't know what was going on at first, and when Jimmy told him about the current situation, he was directly confused, and he originally asked the lawyer to be present before answering the question, but when he knew that the two people he helped send away were FBI agents, some things should be said, gang members do have hard bones, but there are not many such people, and he is not either.
First resisted, then he made a small deal with Jimmy without a lawyer, after which Bob told him everything he knew.
Bob is a craftsman, and he used to mainly do some small things about stealing chickens and dogs, so naturally he is not a big man in the gang, but his skills are relatively useful to some extent, so there are some people in Tucker's gang who know him, and he is also a well-known figure among the low-level personnel.
This time, he was entrusted to help get a car and send people out of DC, of course, there must be a lot of related costs.
Bob quickly locked up a pickup truck and arrived at the gas station at the appointed time, and soon a truck came to his car, he connected with the people who had booked the car, helped them take off the truck's license plates, and put the two people who were tied up in the pickup truck body, and then he drove them away, and then took the rest of the pay home, and before he could get out of the car, he was caught by the gang.
As for the people he sent away, they just left Washington, D.C., for Maryland, but it is not clear exactly where he was going, because he was kicked out of the car after leaving Washington, D.C.
However, although he doesn't know their specific names, he can provide the mobile phone number used by the other party, after all, he still needs to call to contact him for transportation, and the middleman is also a gangster from Washington, DC, who knows him.
Coming out of the interrogation room, Jimmy and Hope looked at each other, and Jimmy said, "That guy's informant fee is halved, FxxK, and seriously affects our judgment." ”
Hope shrugged, the money that had been given out was still reported to Peter, how could it be so easy to halve.
Finding Peter, Jimmy asked Hope to show Peter the interrogation notes, asked the technician to locate the cell phone number provided by Bob, and went to the bathroom himself.
Returning from the bathroom, Peter and the others had already returned to the command center, and although it was the middle of the night, there were still two technicians on duty.
The technicians entered the mobile phone number they had obtained during the interrogation into the system and quickly found a bit of information.
The mobile phone number is prepaid and not real-name, and it has been turned off, it is difficult to locate them now, but because the time is very close, technicians still have a way to retrieve the mobile phone information from the information database of the base station along the way, so that a mobile line can be formed, but it takes some time, and it also needs the support of the NSA.
The NSA's support Peter can handle it, but he will have to wait until daytime, because some formalities need to be walked, and at the headquarters, the assistant agent director is not a big deal, and of course it is not as easy as the branch.
In addition to the location of the mobile phone number, they still have things to do, Jimmy and they are tired from the day, they can take a break, Peter has to stay up again, arrange for someone to arrest the middleman during the day, and search Bob's home.
There is no need to involve Jimmy in these messy things, they take more rest, and when there are clues later, they need to continue to go out in the field, Peter is now a manager, of course, he must reasonably arrange the chips in his hands, search and arrest This kind of thing can be done by people, but there are not many people like Jimmy who can get clues in two or three days after coming to DC.
Hope is a good person, he still looks a little meticulous in doing things, I believe that after this case is over, he should have a future for development, Peter not only asked Jimmy to help him deal with the case this time, but also let himself make a little voice here in the headquarters, maybe the next opportunity to take the position has begun now.
The next day, when Jimmy returned to the headquarters, it was almost noon, and after Peter arranged the search and arrest plan, he fell asleep in his office half-lying in his chair, Jimmy took a look and went to the next conference room.
In the afternoon, Hope also returned, Peter was sober, and the previously arranged arrest was successfully completed.
The middleman gangster did not bear the interrogation, in the past two days, because of the disappearance of the detective, too many people have seen Peter's actions, and the people involved are also angry, this little gangster has never experienced the experience of being arrested by the FBI, compared with the police, the FBI is undoubtedly more terrifying, so after continuous interrogation, he still provided some clues.
In the conference room, Peter and Jimmy are all there, and the results of the investigation with the mobile phone numbers provided by the interrogators and technicians are all concentrated here, and now the follow-up tasks are arranged.
According to the base station positioning, the mobile phone number moved north from the south of Washington DC, and after leaving Washington DC, it began to move in the direction of Baltimore, and then the mobile phone number signal disappeared in the suburbs, it should be that they had destroyed the mobile phone, but their direction of travel and the time they stayed everywhere have been, and the next thing is to follow up the investigation.
The result of the interrogation of the thug was relatively simple, he didn't know the names of those two people, they were both brothers on the road, and the matter was not complicated, he didn't think too much, such a trivial matter as stealing a car was not worth wasting brain cells at all, because it was too common.
But he could be sure that those two people were members of the Jenkins team, and the Jenkins team was the underworld claim, and in the FBI files it was the Abraham gang.
This is a criminal group led by Abraham Jenkins, who operates gambling, smuggling, and illegal gun dealing, and has a clear record of planning and carrying out organized robberies, with a cash truck robbery and a bank robbery in the archives highly suspected to be the work of Abraham's gangsters.
Abraham Jenkins is an intellectual gangster who once went to prison for a bank robbery, but because he didn't hurt anyone, and he was holding a toy gun with BB bullets, but the one he altered was not different from the real gun, and he successfully intimidated the security guards and staff present.
After being arrested by the police, he spent some money to successfully reduce his sentence, and was soon released from prison on parole, after which he began to assemble his own team to carry out planned robbery, which is why he was called the Jenkins team by the underworld, but their personnel and sphere of influence grew, forming a well-known gangster organization, which is also called the Abrahamic gangs by the FBI.
After informing everyone about the relevant information in the conference room, Peter and Jimmy now have a bit of a headache, this is a bit wrong, the two detectives who disappeared before were investigating the case of the girl being kidnapped, imprisoned and abused, why would they have something to do with a gang like Jenkins' team? Their crime has nothing to do with kidnapping girls.
Peter frowned, he waved his hand to let other unrelated people leave, leaving only a few agents and Jimmy, after Peter closed the door of the conference room, he arranged for an agent to take someone to the home of the two missing agents to search, saying that it was to find clues about their disappearance, and not to let go of any possibility, the focus was to check whether they had collected black money, which must not be stored in the bank, then it could be stored at home.
After arranging the mission, he said his suspicions, Jenkins' team has gambling and smuggling business, and there must be people on it to grow into such a big gang here in Washington, DC, so could the case of the disappearance of the two agents have nothing to do with the case they are investigating?
This possibility is still very high, and if the two agents are really involved in some gangster business, then this matter may be in trouble.
Benjamin Walker is a computer specialist, and he has just moved into the field, so he shouldn't have a problem.
Alex Baker is a senior agent in DC, with many years of field experience, if something really goes wrong, his problem is big, and he is not a senior executive, if he wants to be the boss behind the gang, he is definitely not qualified, then there should be bigger people in the DC office doing this.
He turned against the gangsters, nine times out of ten because of some things or because of the distribution of profits, he thought that relying on the identity of the FBI could make the Jenkins team have some scruples, so they may not have paid attention when they met in the field, and were directly attacked by the Jenkins team.
If according to this inference, the two people who Jenkins' team arranged to meet with Alex Baker should have been prepared in advance, that is, they were already planning to get rid of Alex Baker, so there was such an arrangement.
But they're all gangsters, how could they find someone from the Tucker family to make a pickup truck? This is another point that I can't figure out.
Peter and Jimmy discussed various possibilities here, but they were never able to completely string the whole thread together, so they had to give up the discussion for the time being, and everyone went their separate ways, some of them searched the homes of the two agents according to Peter's arrangement, and the other part began to trace their direction of action along the previous cell phone number.
Jimmy, of course, they are the team that is tracking, and the mobile phone number given by the technician before is marked with the direction of movement and the time spent in various places for a long time, which saves them a lot of time.
Bob, who sent them away, had already given the location and time of his pickup truck, and after comparing it with this trajectory, Jimmy and the others only had to investigate the rest of the road.
Or Hope driving, Jimmy sitting in the passenger seat, holding two maps and comparing them: "They left DC and stayed at Lanham and Laurel for two hours each, what do you think they were doing?" ”
Hope: "Eat? In such a short period of time, they should not have time to deal with Baker and Walker, the point is that Walker was also shot, and if he had to have surgery, it would be at least a few hours. ”
Jimmy: "Well, so let's go to where they are staying and look at the surroundings, if it's a hotel or a restaurant, they're supposed to be eating, if it's a hospital or a clinic, or a pet clinic, then they're probably doing surgery and not treating him completely. ”
Hope: "Understood, I'll take a spin along the route they left first. ”
Bob didn't take them in a straight line out of DC, so in order to make sure they didn't miss the information on the road, Hope and Jimmy still followed the route Bob left again, and because of the mobile phone location track information provided by the technical department, this route was also more accurate.
Here in Lanham, the mobile phone stayed in two locations, one was ten minutes, the other was two hours, Jimmy They checked these two places, one was a gas station, and there was a second-hand store next to it, but they didn't monitor it, because the gas station traffic was relatively large, and they couldn't remember the black pickup, and Jimmy they couldn't help it.
The second location is interesting, this is a café, but there is a small alley next to it, and from the alley there is the back entrance of the parking lot of an auto repair shop. Jimmy: They looked through the back door of the parking lot and found that there was a pickup truck with a half-exposed license plate that resembled the car they were looking for, at least the exposed license plate number matched part of it, the back door was locked with a chain lock, and they entered directly through the front door, asking to inspect the car in the parking lot behind them in the name of the FBI.
Although this is not Washington, DC, but for people like the FBI, it is no problem to suppress a few auto repair shop workers, and they successfully reached an agreement with the manager, and found the pickup truck in the back, although it has been simply cleaned, there is still some blood left in the corners.
The car was ready to be towed away and dismantled, and now it suddenly became a vehicle for the kidnapping case, and the auto repair shop was also unlucky, someone bought a car before, and used this car to make a deduction, under normal circumstances, it only needs to be disassembled, and the pickup becomes a pile of spare parts and scrap iron, and nothing will happen, but because they did not deal with it in time, they were discovered by Jimmy.
The auto repair shop manager is now numb, and in the face of Hope's gun, he can only cooperate to find some information, Jimmy and they have successfully obtained the car that the two Jenkins team members drove when they left, because the license plate of the car was recovered, and it was actually a temporary paper license plate, which is more difficult to find, but at least they have determined that the target has abandoned the original pickup, they must have planned to do this, but there are too many flaws in this plan.
Jimmy calls Peter and informs him of the investigation, and they continue to follow him.
Peter's side began to contact the FBI office in Baltimore, Maryland, and now they have some trouble relying on Jimmy alone, especially about the surveillance information needed to track it down, etc., and the headquarters is not as convenient as the local office. (End of chapter)
