Operation 724 begins
Alejandro Gomez and Carlos Rodriguez also arrived at the DEA office in the afternoon, and they asked Jimmy to give them two days to investigate Victoria's whereabouts, all of which needed the help of the Albuquerque office and contact their own informant in Mexico.
Alejandro and Steven didn't communicate much, perhaps because there were outsiders on the scene, and they didn't want their personal relationships to be exposed to too many people.
Jimmy's information about Carlos Escobar didn't mean much to Alejandro, so they divided two groups of people to investigate separately, Jimmy and Alejandro Although they were both in Steven and Hank's offices, their information was completely separated.
Jimmy and Steven ended their information sharing early and left the office, Steven needs to start investigating the multiple deaths, because Jimmy said that he didn't do it, so Steven also needs to find out if the person behind it will contact the two agents involved in the shootout, which is related to his safety and can't be careless.
As for Jimmy, it's simple, now that the time has been set, he has to think about the follow-up. Ruiz has entrusted him with the task of saving people, so it is his business to plan how to act in the clues he has.
This time he is not the only one who acted, but also followed by the FBI and the DEA, according to Alejandro, this operation also needs to inform the Mexican government, and it is estimated that their police force will also be involved, and it needs to be properly arranged.
Two days passed quickly, Jimmy got a lot of maps and satellite photos of Ciudad Juarez from the FBI and DEA, that is, various marked locations and planned routes, but he didn't actually see the scene, and he didn't dare to say that the route he planned was safe, plus he had never been to Juarez before, only watched the drug dealers over there for two years, and the official record of thousands of deaths, and knew that they would not have a safe environment over there.
Although it has only been two years, for the average resident of Juárez, it has already changed their living habits, paying attention to the radio and TV news every day, where there are shootouts, where there are murders, etc., try not to go to the neighborhood if they can avoid it, and even the gangs have retained a basic tacit understanding to evacuate as soon as possible after killing someone, and if possible, they will take away the corpse, leaving no trace for the police.
The more I understand this situation, the more speechless I feel, now Juarez has a higher mortality rate than the war zone, and it is only a city, there are nearly two hundred large and small gangs fighting, that is to say, no area is absolutely safe, ordinary people are scared to death, and ordinary people who can still live here are estimated to be not ordinary now.
Steven's investigation into the circumstances of the case is also quietly underway, but there seems to be good news, they don't suspect that Jimmy or Steven did it, they are just tracking down who those three people are, and whether they have an accident such as internal commotion.
Because according to the forensic examination, the person Jimmy killed has been determined to have accidentally stepped on the soap and fell, slammed his head to the washstand and died, and his neck was twisted, according to the wound on the head and his posture, it should have been a twisted head when he was knocked and his neck twisted, and then his head was against the wall and remained in a twisted state.
Based on the state of the five people who died at the scene, they were shot without resistance and counterattack at all, and it can be assumed that they were completely defenseless against the gunman, and they should have been together.
According to the ballistics, the location of the gunman was deduced, and then according to the location of their last death, it can be basically judged that they continued to search the house for others after shooting five people in the living room, and it can be inferred that when they shot others, they should have found that the man died in the bathroom.
From the various conditions at the scene, a basic conclusion can be drawn that the three strangers who were shot should know the person who died outside the bathroom, or were invited by him.
Anyway, all of this has been diverted, and now Steven can rest easy, there is no need to keep an eye on the case all the time. When he told Jimmy about the current situation, Jimmy was a little glad that he had taken the other party's phone in the hope of moving the investigation elsewhere, and now it seems that this step is working.
Things are pretty much done on Jimmy's side, but not so smoothly on Alejandro's side, their informant hasn't determined Victoria's exact location, the time has come, and it's time to go.
On the FBI side, there are only two agents from Jimmy and Javier, and on the DEA side, there are only two agents from the headquarters of Alejandro and Carlos Rodriguez, and the Albuquerque side provides a six-person SRT team and a bearcat armored vehicle to support them, and the three vehicles set off from Albuquerque to the U.S.-Mexico border.
All the way to El Paso, opposite Juarez, after a short rest here, the whole convoy successfully cleared from the customs, because of the communication in advance, the Mexican customs also cooperated to intercept other vehicles, so that they could smoothly cut into Mexico.
The Juarez police arranged for two police cars to wait at customs, and when they saw Jimmy and their motorcade, they immediately led the way to the Juárez police station.
Javier drove, Jimmy sat in the co-pilot, his right hand was on the handle of Glock's gun, since he passed the customs, his sensitive sixth sense had already sensed, there were many people around him staring at the convoy driving past the temporarily controlled road, many of them were full of malicious sight, and Jimmy could even feel a hint of dangerous impulse, making him frequently turn his head left and right to look at the houses and forks on both sides of the road.
There are a lot of people on the road who have tattoos on their bodies and faces and don't look like ordinary people, and these people can stare at the convoy on the side of the road, which means that they have been informed in advance, which is not a good sign.
The DEA did contact the Juarez police, but it was spread to the gang so quickly, and Juarez's police credibility was also reduced a lot.
Ciudad Juárez's architecture looks very inconsistent, and whether it is a building, a bungalow, or some of the temporary illegal buildings on the street, there are all kinds of graffiti all over the lower walls, some of which feel very strange, and it is supposed to have the ability to divide the gang's sphere of influence or convey some information that only certain people will know.
It's a pity that Jimmy won't have a chance to know these contents, and the operation they came over this time can't last long, and what they need to save people is to be fast.
When they arrived at the police station, the inexplicable sense of gaze still did not disappear, Jimmy and they entered the police station building, and came to a conference room, where there were already two heavily armed SWATs, but their rifles were placed next to the chairs, not in their hands, and they were so well prepared in the police station building, Jimmy couldn't help but wonder if they would also know that there were gangsters in the police station, afraid of being shot.
Carlos Rodriguez took over from Alejandro, as the commander of the joint operation, communicating with the police present the purpose of their visit, and also announcing his target, Victoria of the Steel Tyrannosaurus.
The DEA only contacted the police before, saying that he came here to investigate a gang, and did not mention the name, but now after the name is announced, Jimmy can obviously see that the police and SWAT present have a lot of eye contact with each other, it seems that Victoria is not a secret here, many people know it.
However, this is also in Jimmy's judgment, their main focus is to be unexpected, prepare the information in advance, and arrange follow-up actions after coming, without giving them a chance to react.
But what Jimmy didn't expect was that when he was in Albuquerque, Alejandro basically led the investigation, and after coming to Juarez, Mexico, it became Carlos dominant, and it seems that there is a little problem within the DEA, as if Javier on the FBI side handed over the command to Jimmy after coming to Albuquerque, and he didn't mean to grab the steering wheel at all, of course, this is also the reason why Ruiz deliberately explained, Jimmy thinks so.
Carlos Rodriguez hung up the map they had put together, and there were three suspected targets marked on it, the time was too tight, they had not yet ruled out the fake targets among the three suspected targets, they could only confirm that Victoria had appeared in all three places, and now they still need the police present to provide specific information about the three suspected targets.
Fortunately, in the environment of the police department, these police officers didn't make any tricks, such as they didn't know anything about these places, they were completely unfamiliar with Victoria, and so on, which would be too fake.
Soon someone sent in the information, and they finally determined that there was an underground casino in one of the buildings, which used to be a place where all kinds of people from the underworld and white roads in the neighborhood were happy, and now that the DEA has confirmed that this is one of Victoria's territories, it is very likely that Victoria will appear here.
After the on-site presentation, Carlos and Alejandro left with the contact person at the police station, they needed to communicate with the police first, they needed to cooperate with the traffic control to block the target, and they might also need to arrange personnel to support the fight, after all, there are not many people from the United States, and raiding a club is not a problem, but to ensure that the people inside do not escape, it is relatively insufficient.
The action against Victoria is the need of the DEA, and Jimmy is in charge of the task of saving people on the FBI side, so now everything is arranged by Carlos and Alejandro, and then Jimmy will take the lead to save people.
The action on the police's side was still very fast, after all, it had been contacted a long time in advance, and the relevant personnel were also notified, and the personnel had been assembled two hours later.
The commanders regrouped, Carlos explained to them the arrangement of the operation, led by the DEA's SRT six-member team, the DEA and FBI personnel followed closely behind to control the scene to search for Victoria, the police SWAT officers entered after them to assist in controlling the rest of the scene, and the regular police blocked the traffic and blocked the front and back of the club to ensure that the people inside did not escape through the back door.
The plan is not particularly perfect, especially the internal space of the club cannot be confirmed for the time being, but in order to achieve a surprise effect, they must act as soon as possible, otherwise there will definitely be an incident of internal ghost leakage, and then it will be even more troublesome.
After the arrangements were made, Carlos announced the start of the operation, and everyone began to go downstairs one by one, and after assembling in the parking lot, they all left in unison.
The area is full of operatives, and the regular police officers blocking traffic and nearby roads have been dispatched in advance, and they need to complete the closure of the encirclement before the operators arrive.
Arriving near the club, Carlos looked at the motorcade in front of and behind, pressed the walkie-talkie and said, "The operation begins." ”
SRT squad panda car (bearcat armored car does not have an official Chinese name, generally directly called panda or panda combat vehicle, panda assault vehicle. Leaving the convoy, accelerating past the police car leading the way in front, it crashed directly into the gate in front of the club's building, and the thick anti-collision bar directly knocked the gate open, followed by five team members from behind the car, and after they landed left and right, the panda car reversed and gave way to the gate.
"No one is allowed to move! Juarez Police! ......" pre-recorded voices came from the loudspeakers on the Panda car, and the heavily armed SRT team quickly took control of several people in the antechamber.
The body armor on the SRT still comes with it, but the DEA that was originally posted on it has been replaced with the white letters of the Juarez Police Force, so there was no big commotion at the scene.
Jimmy and the four of them followed through the main door, leaving two people to aim at the people in the front hall, and the others began to rush inside, and the two remaining SRTs rushed after the SWAT officers in the back took control of the scene.
Entering the hall inside from the front hall, the situation is completely chaotic, the voice just now has notified the people inside that something is wrong outside, and when SRT opens and enters the hall, the people inside are already completely chaotic, running around, there are many people squatting or lying down on the spot, these are smart people, but there are also some who are not smart.
Several of the people inside drew their guns and ran towards the passage inside, the SRT was not Jimmy, and when they were warned to stop, they would even dodge and shoot back, which caused a chain reaction, and SRT began to shoot at their respective targets.
Jimmy and the others followed behind and rushed in, all of them were wearing body armor, so in this case, they definitely couldn't hide behind and hand them all over to SRT, the only difference was that only Jimmy was carrying a pistol, including Javier, they all entered with rifles.
Some people who didn't look like ordinary people successfully entered the passage next to them and escaped, and the SRT side also began to arrange, "Control the scene, the left passage of Team A, and the hall of Team B is on guard." ”
Even if it's just a squad, there is a formation arrangement inside, although there is no name, the arrangement is quickly completed, Jimmy They followed behind and also came to the left passage, Jimmy has seen the environment here, there is indeed a passage in front leading to the back door, but they have arranged in advance for the police to block the back door, it is not a big problem.
