720 Causes
Although the case was made by Jimmy and Steven, the two of them did not get involved in the specific investigation, mainly because the case found this time was too big.
Jimmy didn't go back to the hotel at night, but squinted in a random spot in the FBI office, and the next morning when the meeting began, he learned how much good things the Forensic Bureau and the other people involved in the field investigation had found in that club.
A few packs of marijuana, but also a lot of cigarettes that have been rolled, these things are very suitable to use as attractants, usually many people are attracted to increase the dose and start smoking and injecting more addictive drugs, from students to adults in the United States, quite a lot of people are familiar with this process, which is one of the reasons why the age of drug users is getting younger and lower.
A few kilograms of methamphetamine, or in small bags that have been packed in advance, can be sold directly in small portions, apparently these goods are not packaged here at the club, but taken after being packed elsewhere, and no sub-packaging studio was found at the scene. The purity of these methamphetamine has not yet been confirmed, and it will be clear until the laboratory tests are carried out, and the experts on the DEA side have also been contacted, and they will soon enter the working state.
There is a financial room in the basement, from which two people have been caught counting the cash and putting seals on it, as well as a large amount of bulk cash, the amount of which has not yet been sorted out and is still to be sorted out. The reason why they didn't run away was because the financial room was opened from the outside, probably to prevent the people inside from making any moths, and the people inside couldn't open the door, and when the FBI and SWAT rushed in, they were squatting in the corner and hiding, and they admitted their work very cooperatively.
There is also quite a lot of cash and mess in the casino, and it will take a lot of time for the entire building to be cleaned up, especially the various hidden spaces that may exist, and it is estimated that there will be no shortage of manpower.
A weapons warehouse with a large number of guns and ammunition such as pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc., most of which are ghost guns with their serial numbers removed. Several handguns were also recovered from security personnel and the scene of the shootout, and Jimmy and the others turned in the pistols they had taken from the security personnel.
Two of the three underage technicians were found to have had sex that night, both of them were found in the upstairs room, hiding under the bed and in the corner, fortunately not involved in the shootout, and the last one was in a small room in the basement and was rescued by the detectives.
More than a dozen adult sex workers, and a few club staff members did not run away and were caught, and Jimmy and the people who were locked up in the room on the fifth floor were also brought back, and the interrogation is not over yet.
Four people were confirmed dead at the scene of the shootout, one of whom was found under the bed and was confirmed by the technician to be a prostitute, and they all hid under the bed after the shootout, and only one person was lucky enough to be shot. The other three were security personnel, two of whom were identified as gang members, and the person who died on the third floor was not identified.
Several security guards and staff who were shot have been sent to different hospitals, and police officers and detectives have been arranged to supervise them, and it seems that there is a high probability that these people will not die, which is good news.
Several of the people arrested at the scene were gangsters who had been identified in the FBI and DEA databases, and they needed to be double-checked to check which gang was running the club or if they were a collaborator.
These are still the night's urgent confirmation of this, more news needs to continue to wait, there are two safes in the club, need to wait for the day after the federal court to work to find a judge to apply for a search warrant to force open the safe, check the contents of the safe, in short, this time Jimmy they got a super job for the FBI and DEA's Albuquerque office, enough for them to be busy.
Jimmy was actually concerned about those prostitutes, he remembered very well that there was a scumbag on the third floor at that time, just because the conditions were not mature, he had no way to do it, but this matter is not allowed to interrogate him now, it is very troublesome, and it can't be too obvious.
He and Steven's surveillance footage still needs to be checked, these things are not something that can be done overnight, and before these things are over, Jimmy is very inconvenient to contact these people, and it is easy to make other people have bad associations, especially those who died are basically made by Jimmy.
Fortunately, Hope, as a headquarters agent, still has some reason to participate, plus he did not participate in the shootout, some things are more convenient for him, Jimmy asked Hope to help make a copy of the interrogation records and the registration information of these people for himself, and Hope of course said that there was no problem.
This time he was still very depressed that he was not able to participate in the reconnaissance process, this kind of combat scene is something that an agent like him has not encountered once in many years, with Jimmy, a big killer, safety and security, and he can make a big splash among many agents, it's a pity.
After arranging everything, Jimmy went back to the hotel to wash up and rest, Steven asked Jimmy to have dinner at night, the two had just worked together once, and Jimmy naturally would not refuse, anyway, the two of them had nothing to do now.
Steven's partner Hank is also very busy now, and the cooperation with the FBI was originally led by him, and the current investigation must be fully involved, and this dinner must have nothing to do with him.
In Albuquerque, Steven's choice was definitely Mexican, so at a small street shop, Jimmy and Steven chatted about their previous actions over beer, green chili chicken burritos, and super-spicy chicken tacos.
Steven: "Jimmy, that guy, did you do that?" ”
Jimmy asked, confused, "What?" ”
Steven: "That scumbag prostitute." ”
Jimmy: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, it's nothing to do with me, it was an accident during the shootout, he was killed by the security guard, I just killed the security guard." ”
Steven: "OK, nice job. ”
Jimmy: "How's your investigation going?" That Carlos. ”
Steven: "Hank's side should have gained something, and the goods found in the club should be provided by Carlos, in fact, Hank suspects that this club is not dominated by Carlos, but the role of supplier. ”
Jimmy: "Any proof?" ”
Steven shook his head: "No, it's just that Carlos hasn't been around for a long time, and his power is not at the top in Juarez, if you want to build such a big club here in Albuquerque, it is definitely not possible to rely on them alone, it must have the support of local gangs and some official figures."
You also see the scale of that club, an underground club of this size, which requires money and connections that cannot be handled by small gangs, and has to have the right people to endorse them. ”
Jimmy: "Well, it's understandable that there are quite a few such clubs in New York, but basically the gangs take over from other gangs, and the ones who can really do it on their own are the big gangs and the mafia. ”
Steven: "That's right, that's it, Carlos's little bit of power is not enough to do that even if it can be extended to Albuquerque, so they should be providing goods." ”
Jimmy: "Then I'll go to the FBI office and have some catches." By the way, how are you? Is there any ...... in your department?"
Jimmy made a circular motion with his fingers, Steven shrugged, raised his beer glass and touched Jimmy, "I didn't kill anyone, there is a video to testify, I have no problem, but you have to be careful, the technician told me that there is a part of your surveillance video that only has sound and no picture, which may be a little troublesome." ”
Jimmy: "It's normal for something to happen at the shootout, no problem. How is your family? Worried? ”
After chatting for a while, Jimmy's phone rang, he took a look at it, got up and picked it up, and said as he walked out, "What happened?" ”
Ruiz said on the other end of the phone: "Where are you?" ”
Jimmy: "It's noisy over there, I'm still in Albuquerque." ”
Ruiz: "Tell me about the location, I'll be there in a moment." ”
Jimmy: "OK, I'm having dinner with the DEA guys, I'll be back at the hotel right away." ”
Jimmy gives Ruiz the address of the hotel and returns to continue, and Steven doesn't delay Jimmy's time too much, and it is over quickly.
Ruiz came quickly, which was unexpected by Jimmy, as the assistant agent director, Ruiz still has a lot of things to be responsible for, calling last night and coming to Albuquerque today, obviously a temporary arrangement, this is not easy.
After Ruiz entered the door, Jimmy threw a key card directly to him, "In the next room, don't worry, I don't use your name." ”
Ruiz raised an eyebrow, "Thank you." With that, he put the key card in his pocket and sat on the sofa in the corner.
Jimmy: "Beer? Only this one. Jimmy sat down on the couch next to Ruiz after taking half a dozen beers and placing them on the small table, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Ruiz: "There's news from Seventeen, do you remember that Seventeen swept away a transportation channel and intercepted a batch of goods delivered by the Sinaloa Group?" ”
Jimmy nodded, he had escorted Ruiz to Seventeen, and the amount of goods he found that time was not small.
Usually in the United States, each transport of goods will not be too much, to prevent accidents, only from abroad to the United States when there will be a large number of goods, usually hundreds of kilograms or even tons, those from overseas transport also pick and search a transport of a few kilograms and more than ten kilograms, are small gangs will do this, the real big drug lords disdain to engage in this kind of small business.
Ruiz: "This incident is related to the last incident, after they had an accident, the original channel was suspended for a period of time, and other transportation channels were changed, but the volume was limited, which affected many people.
After the opening of Seventeen's submarine dock, he quickly made a name for himself in the underworld, and someone contacted him but did not cooperate, and under the recommendation of an intermediary in New York, Seventeen went to communicate with an important person, but he disappeared.
We searched for all the contact information left by Seventeen, and checked the gangsters he had previously provided access to this smuggling channel, and we had basically searched for them, but there was still no news of Seventeen.
The night before, our surveillance equipment left at the submarine dock filmed several people forcibly entering the storage area inside the dock, our people rushed over and fought them, two escaped, three were arrested, and they were interrogated to get a message, they were notified to come and take over the dock, and the person who informed them was the gang of Ciudad Juarez, the Iron Tyrannosaurus.
We don't have the information in Ciudad Juarez, I got it from an acquaintance at the DEA, you see. ”
Ruiz handed Jimmy a folded blank piece of paper, which opened to reveal a person's profile, Victoria Serranos, a famous female tyrant in Juarez, who was once an underground boxer, with the Iron Tyrannosaurus being her nickname, and later became the lover of Emilio, one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Group.
With Emilio's support, Victoria took over a drug dealer assassination squad and became the spearhead of the Sinaloa syndicate's entry into Juarez, where she managed to gain a foothold.
In the last two years of the Juarez drug trafficking war, Victoria has also been expanding her territory, just because there are one or two hundred large and small organizations within Juarez, and the Sinaloa group's advantage in the war with them is not great, so it is not expanding much now, but according to the grapevine, Victoria is in charge of part of the Sinaloa group's smuggling channels in Juarez, and it is also a big man there.
Ruiz saw that Jimmy had probably read the information, and continued: "They said that they got the exact news, the location of the dock was provided by Seventeen, and they came to take over the dock. The whereabouts of the other Seventeen have also been confirmed, the previous batch of Sinaloa goods he hijacked was the source of the goods of Victoria's Iron Tyrannosaurus Gang, and this time it was Seventeen who was found by tracking down the previous leaked channels. ”
Jimmy: "How did they find Seventeen?" This is important, he had said that his informant was very reliable. ”
Ruiz pouted, "That shipment, Seventeen needed a large amount of usable funds in exchange for enough funds to repair the dock and the submarine, and after reporting it, they sold that shipment, and we speculate that it was Seventeen who hijacked them based on that shipment." ”
Jimmy's eyes narrowed, it's okay to officially authorize undercover agents to sell drugs, you guys are really a bit of a cold style.
Ruiz saw Jimmy's expression change, and immediately said, "Don't get excited, we didn't sell to local gangsters." ”
Jimmy took a deep breath, no matter what, Seventeen is his own colleague, and some things do conflict with his own values, but things at work, what should be done still has to be done.
Jimmy: "What do you want to do?" ”
Ruiz: "We contacted the DEA headquarters, and we also found an expert from the CIA, who will help us investigate the information on the Iron Tyrannosaurus to find out if there is a clue to Seventeen, and then we may need to conduct a joint operation with the DEA to defeat the Iron Tyrannosaurus, capture Victoria, and rescue Seventeen by the way." ”
Jimmy: "You're thinking too much, Juarez is so messed up right now, it's hard to achieve so many goals in this city. ”
Ruiz: "Each family has its own demands, and there are some things that can only be dealt with as much as possible, and as for the outcome, whatever it is, we can accept it. ”
