Jimmy doesn't know what Kevin is going to do, but he has fulfilled his promise to Winston, and what happens to them can only be handled by Winston himself.

After a week, there was plenty of time, and Jimmy was not in a hurry to arrange his time, anyway, he had more free time at the moment, so it was good to complete his plan step by step, just like the previous plan, learning and exercising, it was just a sudden event that disrupted his deployment.

Three days after the shipwreck, Ruiz knocked on his office door, declined Jimmy's invitation to tea, and said with a solemn expression: "Jimmy, I think you're going on a business trip again." ”

Jimmy looked at Ruiz in surprise: "What's the matter?" ”

Ruiz: "Did you hear about the yacht bombing off the coast of Miami the other day? ”

Jimmy: "I've seen the news, I haven't paid attention to it, what's wrong?" ”

Ruiz: "The incident was classified as a case of high priority by the headquarters, and it was necessary to send competent personnel to the Miami office to assist in the investigation. The headquarters is asking for our opinions, are you interested in going to the headquarters again to cooperate with them in investigating this case? ”

Jimmy frowned, "Why are you looking for me?" I haven't dealt with a shipwreck. ”

Ruiz: "I haven't replied to them yet, it depends on what you mean, if you are bored right now, you can consider taking a trip, not to mention the yacht explosion, just treat it as a homicide, your detection rate is the highest in the last two years." ”

Jimmy: "I'm not interested, the case that can't be led is boring, there are always people who pull back, and I can't do it at all." ”

Ruiz didn't expect to be so stubbornly pushed down by Jimmy, he was going to persuade him, after all, Jimmy is already an SSA, and going to the headquarters to deal with cases is also considered cross-departmental coordination, these are the experience of handling cases in different places recorded in the file, which is a very good experience, but Jimmy still wants to take the lead.

Ruiz thought for a while and said: "After all, this is a case of the headquarters, if it can be handled well, the impression on the headquarters side will be much better, and it will be an opportunity to climb up in the future." ”

Jimmy: "Come on, the last time I went to the headquarters, if it wasn't for Peter forcibly suppressing other people's opinions and assigning me a deputy to investigate the case, it would not have been possible to do it so quickly, and when I finally went back to the headquarters to make a case statement, those departments were not so friendly to me." ”

Ruiz: "This time it's different from the previous one, it's serious. ”

Jimmy: "It's more important to take the lead when it's serious, and if I get the case, the credit will be someone else's, and that's not interesting." ”

Ruiz: "What if the above asks for it?" ”

Jimmy was speechless and threw him a roll of his eyes: "Then go, anyway, if you listen to someone else's arrangement, you will be treated as a business trip subsidy." ”

Ruiz is really helpless, Jimmy's hob meat is really difficult, and this matter has nothing to do with him, if he suppresses it strongly, he really dares to pick and choose.

Ruiz: "Okay, I'll talk to them again." ”

Ruiz didn't take a sip of tea, and turned to leave Jimmy's office, who followed behind and closed the door again, exhaling a long sigh.

This matter really involves a wide range of issues, and if the FBI wants to intervene in the investigation, or the headquarters will arrange it directly, someone must be pushing this matter behind, otherwise the local police will be enough, and even if it rises to the FBI, it will be handled by a branch at most.

The list that Winston gave him before was just a general glance, after all, they are already dead, there is no need to pay attention to it, now it seems that this list is really fate with him, look at the results of Ruiz's side, if you really want to investigate it yourself, this matter should try not to involve the killer team on the hotel side.

Ruiz returned to his office with a stinky face, originally Dave just asked him to come to Jimmy to talk about it, in fact, everyone didn't want him to go out to handle the case now, after all, they had only said before that he would be stable for a year or two, and it was only a few months before he arranged for him to go out to work, and it was not easy to explain, they had a tacit agreement before.

If this case can't be solved, Jimmy's evaluation will be lowered, and it will even be angered by some powerful people behind the scenes, and it will be even more troublesome if it is solved, as soon as he makes a move, his previous arrangement is equivalent to a complete invalidity, and it is already a bit too much to let such a highly meritorious agent sit on the cold bench, and then sitting on the cold bench after this incident is to give people eye medicine, maybe someone will seize this issue and make other seizures of power.

Ruiz called Dave, gave up after giving Jimmy's opinion, let them communicate about this matter again, they don't deserve this bad guy.

I don't know how Dave's side arranged it, but this matter finally fell on Jimmy's head, but this time it was not the headquarters that directly arranged personnel, but the joint investigation of the New York branch and the Miami branch, led by the New York branch, one of the three major branches, and the level was not low, it seems that some people still value Jimmy as a master of handling cases.

Ruiz reappeared in Jimmy's office the next day, "Jimmy, as you wish, you will be in charge of the case this time. ”

Jimmy looked at Ruiz in surprise, it was only a day, and the matter was settled? How nervous are the people behind the scenes? "Why is it so fast?"

Ruiz: "It's not clear for the time being, Dave has already given an order to pick an assistant to go to Miami, and there will be someone to support you, and our laboratory has also been notified that if there are items that need to be tested by air, they can be dealt with by air courier first." ”

Jimmy frowned, "Isn't this a bit too much?" ”

Ruiz: "Carry it out, from above." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, then transfer Mark to me temporarily, we're still happy to work together." ”

Ruiz nodded: "Yes, get ready, and leave tomorrow." ”

Jimmy nodded helplessly, he was going on a business trip again, and the frequency of business trips after he got married seemed to be a little too much, so he could only have a good chat with Nia, hoping to spend tonight in peace.

——

The next day, Jimmy waited at the airport for Mark, who was also carrying a suitcase, and the two checked in together and boarded the flight to Miami with their gear bag and suitcase.

Taking the water cup handed over by the flight attendant, Mark looked left and right before asking in a low voice, "Yang, what is going on this time?" I was suddenly ordered to come to the airport today to accompany you to Miami. ”

Jimmy lowered his voice as well, and their conversation was still inconvenient for publicity: "Didn't Ruiz tell you?" It's the news we saw on TV that day, the yacht bombing over there, and it's up to us to investigate this time. ”

Mark nodded: "I know it's this case, why is it us?" ”

Jimmy: "Just do what you have planned, and listen to me when you get there, and don't conflict with them." ”

Mark: "OK, I see. ”

Mark picked up the prepared one in advance and looked at it, Jimmy was a little more relaxed, he had already observed all the passengers in advance, and now he directly closed his eyes and rested, after all, it was still very draining after working hard in the middle of the night.

The Miami office had been involved in the investigation on the day of the yacht explosion, and the Coast Guard and FBI had searched for salvage teams to begin salvaging the hull and body, as well as anything related to the surrounding waters, which was not so easy to deal with, and it was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

By the time Jimmy and Mark arrived at the Miami office, they had been notified by headquarters that the investigation was being taken over by agents from the New York office. After Jimmy and Mark reported their identities at the front desk, an agent soon came out to greet them.

Agent: "Welcome to Miami, I'm Senior Agent Austin Wright." ”

Jimmy: "Jimmy Young, SSA in Manhattan, this is Special Agent Mark Anderson. ”

Austin Wright took the two to a separate office, "The two of them, because of the urgency of time, can only temporarily arrange for the two of them to work here, and the relevant office supplies will be in place soon." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Agent Wright. Where is your current investigation team? I hope to get into working order as soon as possible. ”

Austin Wright looked at Jimmy in surprise: "Don't you need to take a break first?" We have booked a hotel room for you. ”

Jimmy glanced at Mark and shook his head at Agent Wright, "Let's start as soon as possible, I'd like to gather the current members of the investigation team to synchronize the progress of the investigation." ”

Agent Wright nodded: "Of course, you guys can rest here first, and I'll arrange for them to come back for a meeting right away." ”

After Agent Wright left, Jimmy and Mark put their luggage and gear bags aside, tidied up the office desks a little, and soon received a call from Agent Wright to go to the conference room.

It turned out that the atmosphere in the Miami office was very bad, just as the last time Jimmy took over the disappearance of the agent in the Washington office under the coordination of headquarters, the people in the local office were unhappy when they handed over the information, and the people in the Miami office were just as unhappy.

However, after all, it was an order from the headquarters, and they did not embarrass Jimmy in person, but took out all the information they had collected in the past few days, and announced the current investigation progress in the conference room by the agents in charge of the investigation.

In a large conference room, Jimmy and Mark sat at one side of the long table, and on the other side were the members of the current investigation team.

"The current salvage progress of the yacht is not ideal, the main parts of the hull have been salvaged, but the most important black box and data storage equipment have not been found yet."

An agent plays the current salvage progress on a monitor in front of him, and the salvaged hull has been placed in an open field on the docks, but it appears that the current hull is still incomplete.

"Some of the hulls are so broken that we haven't salvaged them completely, and we can't even rule out that some of the hulls have drifted away with the currents, and we have only gotten these so far. Through the hull design drawings obtained by the shipbuilding company and the confirmation of their engineers, we have found four suspected blasting points from the hull that has been confirmed so far, but the fragments of the blasting points are too fragmentary, and there is no way to completely assemble them now. ”

Jimmy and Mark were holding notebooks and recording the clues they had investigated, "Is the explosives detection done?" Even though it has been soaked in seawater, there should still be some of it that can be detected, right? ”

The agent nodded: "From one of the fragments, we detected the remnants of the C4 explosion, and if the explosives used in the blasting are consistent, this is the conclusion." ”

Jimmy: "Is the detonator confirmed?" ”

Agent: "I can't say for sure for the time being, and I'll need to wait for the fragments to be found before the shipyard's engineers compare and confirm, but at the moment, it's unlikely that the detonating device will be found." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Go ahead." ”

The agent closed his own information, and another agent began to show the bodies that had been recovered so far, and provided identification information for each of the bodies that had been identified, and to their surprise, the integrity of the bodies was not bad, which means that at least none of the bodies that had been found so far were near the explosion point, otherwise they would have found body parts.

Agent: "At the moment we have identified the captain and several registered crew members, and five people have been identified on the passenger side. ”

The agent revealed the identities of five people, one of whom was Jimmy's target, "The ship belongs to the Hareton Foundation, and the current user is Elias Hariton, the chairman and CEO of the Hareton Foundation, who is also one of the deceased, and the other person involved in the death is Lucas McKinley, the Hareton Foundation's human resources director. The other three are also well-known business people. ”

Jimmy: "How many more are there that haven't been identified?" ”

Agent: "Six bodies, all female, two of them looking younger. We have collected fingerprints, but we have not yet obtained the matching information in the fingerprint database. ”

Jimmy: "Contact the Hareton Foundation and ask them to confirm the identities of these six people and if they are their employees." ”

Agent: "The Hareton Foundation is based in Los Angeles, and we've asked our colleagues in the Los Angeles office to confirm, but there's no news yet." ”

Jimmy: "OK, go ahead."

Another agent picked up his file folder, "We have recovered a lot of items from the sea, excluding the equipment that the ship originally carried, there are also several damaged mobile phones and a video recorder, which have been handed over to the technical department for data recovery, and there is no result yet." ”

Jimmy recorded again, looking up at the agent across the table, "Isn't that any more?" ”

The detectives didn't answer, and Jimmy knew that this was the trouble, as if he was in cold violence. "OK, now we've added a few new directions. First, the trajectory of the yacht before the explosion and the ports at which it docked, this information needs to be confirmed as soon as possible, and the explosives are likely to be installed when they docked at the dock.

Second, the autopsy of the bodies that have been recovered should be completed as soon as possible to confirm whether they died in an explosion or by drowning, or if an explosion occurred after death, and the medical examiner should be able to give a conclusion.

Thirdly, all those who have been identified will be investigated to see if they have a known enemy, whether the incident is a vendetta or some other reason.

OK, for the time being, let's add these three points of investigation information, so let's take action. ”

Jimmy stood up and clapped his hands: "This investigation is very important, thank you for your preliminary investigation, now we need to move forward with the investigation as soon as possible, I hope everyone will work together to give an explanation to the public as soon as possible." ”
