Jimmy was watching them from the second floor, he didn't expect it to be such an ending, this employer is not kind, hire people to work, someone else's five-person team can still complete the task after two deaths, not only do you not comfort them, but kill these people, whether it is out of not wanting to give money, or to keep it secret, after all, it is a bit excessive.

Two bodyguard-like men killed these four people, so they took their guns and stepped forward, one of them checked their lives and deaths, and the other person bent down to take the box that had been dropped on the ground, because the person had opened it when he was checking the box just now, and now there was a lot of money scattered on the ground.

Jimmy didn't bother to wait any longer, he came up the stairs lightly, and shot at three people when he showed his head, anyway, the gun he was using now was not his own, he didn't care about leaving shooting marks, and he was wearing gloves when he checked the guns and bullets, and there were no fingerprints left, so it was difficult to relate to Jimmy here.

Two pistols at three people approached emptying the magazine, and in order to avoid a problem with his shooting habits that would cause others to doubt him, this time he shot completely without aiming at the head, mostly in the torso, and a few bullets were fired into the limbs to ensure that they would not fight back.

If someone really does a test of all the bullets, they will probably have an exploding brain, and hopefully they won't.

After leaving a few rounds of ammunition and making sure that the three were dead, Jimmy went up to the third floor and shot each of the previous four people before picking up the box on the ground, and then searched the principal in the middle, picked up a mobile phone and a wallet, and immediately went downstairs to leave.

The continuous gunfire here must have alarmed the others, and he didn't want to be surrounded by the LAPD.

When he came up the stairs, he first glanced at the principal, this guy had never seen it at all, it was obvious that someone was looking for a middleman, it was difficult for this kind of person to interrogate the employer behind the scenes, it would take a lot of time, and now he didn't have this kind of time, in case he delayed and revealed his identity, it would be troublesome, so he could only kill them all.

This time he didn't track the behind-the-scenes employer, which was somewhat different from his previous plan, but he also thought it clear when he drove away, and the result was almost acceptable, and the death of the middleman was not a trivial matter, this kind of person generally has a wide network, and when the employer got the news, he might be worried about whether his people would trouble him.

In addition, the mobile phone that Jimmy got is also a clue, and when he goes back, he should be able to find the contact number, and then he can also guess who the employer is.

Shortly after Jimmy left, the LAPD's patrol car arrived near the building, and of course they approached cautiously and called for other personnel to come to their aid.

Although the LAPD is not as large as the NYPD, there are nearly 10,000 law enforcement officers, and their style is to wait for the personnel advantage before entering the building for inspection, and the most important thing is to protect themselves.

So by the time they saw the shootout, Jimmy had already abandoned his car in the South District, changed the clothes in his backpack, cleaned up the blood stains on the box, transferred the cash in it to his backpack, changed a few places, dismantled the box, clothes, shoes, and the pistols and threw them away, and called a taxi to leave the South District.

After changing two taxis, going from the South End to West Hollywood, and back to his downtown hotel, Jimmy was completely relieved when he arrived at his room.

Taking off his clothes, Jimmy stood in the bathroom and carefully checked in the mirror to make sure that there was no blood stains or anything else on his body, checked his coat again, opened his backpack and double-checked the tied cash to make sure there were no trackers in it, and then he cleaned up and lay down to rest, some of them were busy during the day.

After dawn, Jimmy immediately went into the bathroom and opened the shower to take a shower first, and came back too late in the early hours of the morning, if he took a shower at that time, in case the person next door heard it, it would definitely become a suspicious clue, especially if there were no women in his room.

Don't think too stupid about others, it's always right to be careful in everything, for example, when he came back at night, he didn't go through the main entrance of the hotel, but came up from the underground parking lot, in order to avoid contact with people as much as possible, in order not to leave a surveillance picture, he didn't even use the elevator in the parking lot, and chose to come up from the fire staircase.

He has been living in this hotel for a while, of course, the location of the monitoring is checked in advance, and the door of the fire staircase is not a closed fire door, which can be opened directly from the outside, relatively speaking, this passage is safe and hidden enough.

After washing, Jimmy walked out wrapped in a bath towel on his lower body, took out the two wallets and a mobile phone from his bag and looked at it, the wallet that the driver had robbed had no useful information, obviously he was very careful when he went out on a mission, and only left a part of the cash in the wallet for gas or shopping.

The other wallet that was brought back from the scene of the shootout was very rich, and there were the person's documents in it, which could be checked, and the other was the mobile phone, Jimmy had turned off his phone last night, and now he opened it and took a look, and the communication record turned out to be empty, which was very depressing, he was going to check it, and now if he wants to continue the investigation, he must be supported by the technical department, and at the same time ask for authorization to transfer the records from the NSA, which is too troublesome.

After putting away the cash, separating the papers and wallet into his bag, Jimmy got into the parked FBI car and left the hotel.

Bought a sandwich and a hot dog at a nearby food truck, and with a glass of American, it was his breakfast. While eating breakfast, I threw my wallet and documents separately and threw them in different trash cans, and the cleanup was quickly completed.

After arriving at the bank to register a safe deposit box, Jimmy stored all the things he had purchased these days in the safe deposit box, and the next thing to do was all normal business, and these things were not needed.

Jimmy parked his car in a parking lot and took out his phone to contact Mrs. Harriton, but of course it was clear that no one answered the phone until he hung up. This is the pre-task, according to Jimmy's current status, it is impossible for him to know about the shooting that happened last night, and it is reasonable for him to go to the scene after many times of contact during the day without answering, after all, in order to investigate the case, he has asked many times in the past.

Open the window and smoke a cigarette, wait for a while and then Jimmy contacted again, and when he called for the third time, he thought he would hang up directly, but after waiting for about half a minute, he was about to hang up automatically, and the other side picked up, "Who are you?" ”

Jimmy frowned and said, "FBI regulatory agent Jimmy Young, I'm looking for Mrs. Hariton, who are you?" ”

"Detective James Cook, LAPD." The person on the phone said.

Jimmy immediately followed: "Where's Mrs. Harriton?" Why is her phone in your hand? ”

Detective Cook: "I can't say the specifics, I think it's better to talk to you in person, can you come to the police station?" ”

Jimmy: "Tell me the address, I'll go over now." ”

Jimmy originally planned to contact lawyer Sebastian after repeatedly failing to contact Mrs. Hariton, and the mobile phone used as evidence at the scene should not theoretically be connected by the police detective, he should have gotten Mrs. Harriton's murder from Sebastian's side, and then went to the scene, and found that the scene was blocked by the LAPD and then revealed his identity and continued, and now he can only adjust the plan.

Jimmy made another phone call to each of the others, but none of them, including Lester, could be reached except for one shareholder, and the phone was turned off or no one answered, and it seemed that the murder of Mrs. Hareton had been widely disseminated and everyone knew about it.

Jimmy didn't watch TV, but the shootout was so intense in the early hours of the morning that it was impossible for the TV station not to broadcast the news, maybe that's how they knew.

Jimmy starts his car and leaves the parking lot to go to the police station, reports Detective Cook's name and his identity, and goes to Detective Cook's office. A large office is now nearly vacant, with only two people looking at some of the things wrapped in the evidence bag.

Jimmy: "Which one is Detective Cook?" ”

A bald black man turned his head to look at Jimmy, walked over, took off his gloves and shook Jimmy's hand: "I'm James Cook." ”

Jimmy showed his ID, and Detective Cook gave it back to Jimmy, "Please be seated, Agent Young." ”

Jimmy: "Excuse me, what's going on over there with Mrs. Harriton?" ”

Detective Cook sat across from Jimmy and said, "Do you know Mrs. Hareton?" What is your relationship? ”

Jimmy: "Her husband was killed in Miami, and I'm investigating the case, and Mrs. Hareton is a family member of the victim, and we've had a few contacts, and the investigation is ongoing. ”

Detective Cook nodded, this kind of thing is easy to investigate, there is no need for the other party to lie, since it is all about handling cases, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't interfere in his own affairs, "Last night, the apartment building where Mrs. Hareton lived was invaded, and there was a shootout, which caused the tragic result of eight dead and one wounded, unfortunately, Mrs. Hareton was also one of the dead." ”

Jimmy: "Have the other dead and wounded been identified?" ”

Detective Cook shrugged: "Some of the dead have been confirmed, including Mrs. Hareton and her five bodyguards, and one bodyguard is seriously injured and is currently being treated in the hospital, and the identities of the other two have not been found out yet." ”

Jimmy frowned and thought for a moment and asked, "What else?" ”

Detective Cook shook his head: "I'm sorry, we can't provide details for the time being, the case is still under investigation." ”

Jimmy: "Mrs. Hareton is a key figure in the case I'm currently investigating. ”

Cook: "I'm sorry, but we are still investigating this case, and I hope you don't interfere with our investigation." ”

Jimmy stared at Cook for a few seconds, then nodded, "I see, thank you." He took out his business card from his pocket and gave it to Detective Cook, "If there is any latest clue, please let me know." ”

Cook took Jimmy's business card and nodded, "If it doesn't affect our investigation, I will." ”

Jimmy stood up, shook Cook's hand, said goodbye, and left the police station.

Cook looked at Jimmy's business card and frowned, he only knew that he was an FBI agent before, thinking it was from the Los Angeles office, but now he saw that the business card was from the Manhattan office in New York, which surprised him a little, this Mrs. Hareton was also involved in other cases, which would also make their investigation more complicated.

But to confirm Jimmy's identity, he opened the drawer and took out a business card book, took one out of it, looked at it, picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.

——

After Jimmy left the police station, he drove to the side of the road and pulled Dave's number: "Dave, there's a problem. ”

Dave: "Wait. He waved at the person across from him, and the rest of the office left the office before saying, "What's wrong?" ”

Jimmy: "Mrs. Hareton was shot dead last night, only one of the bodyguards was seriously injured, the others were all dead, and now the LAPD has taken over the investigation, I just came out of the police station, and their investigation has just begun. ”

Dave: "What about the attackers?" ”

Jimmy: "It's said that two died, but I haven't seen the scene yet, and I haven't seen the dead. I didn't have access to the details without the permission of the LAPD,"

Dave tapped his right hand on the table, thought for a moment and said, "You wait first, I need to find someone to ask." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll wait for your call. ”

Jimmy hung up the phone and got out of the car, and came to the mobile food truck next to him to line up to buy food, for him, the normal food consumption is already greater than the average person, eat less each time, eat more times a day is also good, it is better than eating too much at once.

Back in the car with Taco and Coke, the phone just rang, Jimmy took out the phone with one hand and connected it and put it in his ear: "Is there any news?" ”

"Jimmy, I'm Roland, I saw your message." A deep man's voice came, and Jimmy immediately put the phone in front of his eyes and glanced at it, and then put it back to his ear again: "Roland, long time no see, where are you?" ”

Roland: "Bangor, Maine, I just came over here. Where are you? Is it convenient to meet? ”

Jimmy: "I'm in L.A., but no problem, I can go to you." ”

Roland: "Wait a few more days, I'll come back to you when I'm done with this matter." ”

Jimmy: "No, I'm just here for business in Los Angeles, I don't live here. What are you going to do? Need help? ”

Roland: "Not for now, wait for me to contact you." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll wait for your call......" Before Jimmy could finish speaking, Roland had already hung up the phone.

Jimmy put the phone on the center console, picked up the taco and opened the wrapper and took a bite, Roland contacted him before because he had not been contacted on a business trip, so he later left a message for Roland, and he should have received it when he turned it on again, so Roland would call Jimmy's current mobile phone.

Although he wants to see Roland soon, since he still has something to do, he doesn't want to involve himself, so let's wait.
