Chapter 823
This time, Jimmy didn't have any trouble, looked at his watch and counted the time, and when the time was up, he immediately knocked on the lid on it. Although he had seen someone come here before, he didn't know if the person outside was old George, and if something went wrong, it would be troublesome.
Fortunately, there were no accidents this time, the stone was removed, the cover was lifted, and Jimmy came out of the tunnel without any problems.
After getting into his car and coming to the church, Jimmy took out a handful of cash from his pocket, and without counting how much it was, he put it directly on the seat, "Thank you, George." ”
"Ah, a tip? You should know that someone has already paid for it. ”
"Of course, take it, I like your professionalism and punctuality. Good bye. ”
Jimmy waved his hand and went back to his car, carefully checking what had been left in the car to make sure it wasn't missing, and immediately started to leave the village.
The cash was picked up by Jimmy, who was just thinking about staying with him for emergencies, but he didn't need it since he returned to the United States.
This time I was originally going to make myself smooth, but the main thing was that Gus's previous disappearance was a bit annoying, and it was supposed to defeat a big drug lord who suddenly became the capture of small shrimps, and the credit of 100 was investigated for more than a month and turned into the result of 60, and it would be very unpleasant to put it on anyone's head.
I didn't expect to see the living Gus in Eladio Manor, now it's okay, with the assistance of Alejandro, a guy who is highly suspected of CIA, there must be no problem in escorting three people back from Mexico, and this also gives him a clear credit, if he lets people go, it will be even more interesting.
Jimmy won't divulge the news to anyone else until Gus returns to Albuquerque, and will talk about the process when Alejandro informs them to send them back, believing that Alejandro can handle it.
Back to the hotel to take a shower, a relaxed out of the dinner, Jimmy came back to his senses, the long journey to pay attention to whether it will be exposed, mental tension is certain, now relaxed to call home, by the way to see the child, good mood can also dissipate their own body contaminated with evil energy.
The DEA's interrogation is not over yet, there are too many people, and the number of agents involved in the interrogation on the DEA's side is insufficient, so it will inevitably delay a lot of time, Jimmy came to the DEA's office during the day to check on the progress, and also kill time, and when Gus and they are sent back, he can go back.
Gus can confirm that it was the Salamanca family under Eladio's Mexican cartel group who attacked Hank, the reason is that their family's Tuku Salamanca was killed by Hank, and it was Gus's previous leader Bolsa who informed them that they came, given that Hector, the original boss of the Salamanca family, had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and for their family, there was no leader, so it was natural for Bolsa to come forward.
Only Gus's participation in the testimony link can connect everything together, and now that Eladio is dead, Bolsa is dead, and only Hector Salamanca, who has suffered a stroke, is of course Gus's testimony that carries the most weight, so that the case of Hank's attack has a complete chain of evidence, and when the case is over, Jimmy can also have an explanation for all parties.
Two days later, the DEA arranged for a SWAT team to cross customs and pick up three suspects from Juarez to return to Albuquerque.
Jimmy originally thought that Alejandro would secretly send people back, but he actually sent a message to the DEA directly through Washington, and arranged the process of transporting the suspect with great fanfare, which obviously became a business-to-business business, which was somewhat unexpected by Jimmy, you must know that if you go through the official channel, you need to report a lot of information.
Fortunately, the cause of Eladio's death was hidden, and Alejandro made a special phone call to Jimmy to explain the incident, not revealing his existence, only that he hired someone to decapitate Eladio.
That's fine, at least to exclude Jimmy from the official investigation, and even if anyone suspects, the official investigation must be overruled first.
On the day Gus was returned, Jimmy had an open and honest chat with him in the interrogation room, of course, before the formal trial began, and it was better to make some things clear to his face, about Gus's drug empire and Hank's case.
Of course, Gus understood what Jimmy meant, and his first appearance was nothing more than a warning, on the one hand, he couldn't say anything about Eladio Manor, and on the other hand, he was frank about Hank's attack, as for the case of the drug cartel, the existing evidence was enough, and there was no need to hide anything.
Jimmy, who received a positive answer, then beckoned the DEA agent into the interrogation room, and he left the scene directly, informing Hank of the good news that his attack was over.
For the DEA, the cracking of Guth's drug cartel is a very significant achievement, and Jimmy, who had planned to return directly to New York, was forced to stay and wait for a joint press conference a few days later, which was of course hosted by the DEA, but Jimmy, as a member of the interagency joint investigation team, also needed to attend, take pictures, and receive recognition from the DEA.
Hans Rand, the DEA's Albuquerque Superintendent, personally presented Jimmy with the DEA Cross of Distinguished Service, a high-ranking honor from the DEA for those who have demonstrated an extremely high level of courage, leadership, and dedication in the performance of their duties, which would normally only be given to DEA members, but this time it was a special case, mainly because Jimmy gave away so much, and they received much more than a medal.
Of course, in addition to the medal, there was a letter of commendation from DEA headquarters, which was sent directly to the FBI's New York office.
Also participating in receiving the medal were Hank and Gomez, the two seriously injured senior agents who also contributed a lot to the investigation, both of them received a Purple Heart Medal, and Hank also received an additional special medal for courage, which can be regarded as a full harvest.
Jimmy's good friend Justin still came to Albuquerque by appointment, Jimmy handed him the note given by Gus, it was a bank safe, Jimmy had already seen it, there was a copy of Guss's document in the box, Jimmy didn't dare to guarantee that it was a fake document, for this kind of drug dealer, the fake identity may also be a real identity, or a real fake identity, in either case, he did not destroy it directly, but brought it out.
As for the rest of the things in the safe, it will all be handed over to Justin to deal with, he can actually take it back to New York directly for the hotel to deal with, and even use the bar to slowly launder the money, but after working with Justin for so long, although he will lose a lot of fees, it is better to let him deal with it.
It is completely appropriate to describe Jimmy's current mood with a return to his heart, after Gus was caught, he had already informed Nia that they could go home, but Nia, who had lived with Kevin for a month, still had to wait for Jimmy to come back, Kevin's meaning was the same, not bad these days, it was good to let his daughter and grandson live at home, and he could just come back from work early to accompany the little one.
The pressure brought by the Mexican drug lords is still a bit too depressing for ordinary people, even if Jimmy said on the phone that everything has been resolved, it still can't completely appease them, and it is impossible to say too much on the phone, so the first thing Jimmy did after returning to New York was to go to Kevin's house to pick up Nia and her back.
With Jimmy to take care of them, the safety of Nia and Little Liam is still guaranteed, and everyone is more assured.
Nia was still very interested in this case, and when Jimmy was holding little Liam to make him happy, she still asked him to quickly tell herself about the situation.
Jimmy couldn't help but briefly describe Gus's drug cartel, and when he talked about their specialty product, Blue Ice, Nia was surprised to mention that she had seen this thing before, and at a girlfriend party, she had heard that many people on Wall Street were loyal customers of Blue Ice, and that many things were available to some wealthy people.
Of course, Jimmy also understands this, Justin said this situation when he was in Little Rock, those people in the underworld are looking for clues about blue ice in order to monopolize the high-end market, but now they should have no chance.
According to what he knew, the only people who could make blue ice were Walter and Jesse Pinkerman, one of whom was in prison waiting for a trial to be arranged, and the other who had joined the witness protection program and had to change his name and surname away from New Mexico, and it would be more difficult to get them out again to make blue ice for drug dealers.
There was still a Gail to do, and he was shot and killed by Jesse, but anyway, it was a great accomplishment for Jimmy to be able to put an end to the proliferation of a high-purity drug.
Of course, the rest can be said that the Mexican file can't confess to Nia, and this kind of action that led to the result of the massacre can be known by himself, so there is no need to worry about Nia.
After being away from home for so long, Jimmy of course had to do his duty as a husband, and after putting little Liam to sleep, Jimmy and Nia crept back to their bedroom and began to exercise happily without shame.
For Jimmy, the matter on the New Mexico side is over, but for Ruiz it is far from over, he was still very surprised when he received the DEA's thank you letter to Jimmy, during this time Jimmy went to assist in the investigation of the case, and he has not synchronized the case information with him, and the case that took more than a month to solve is definitely not small, so after learning that Jimmy returned to New York, he asked him out for a drink.
The place to drink is definitely Jimmy's bar, which is now a well-known location, although it is a bit far from the office, but the security of the Upper West Side is not bad, and you don't have to worry about messy things when you drink here, it is relatively good, so many people in the bureau will still come and sit in their spare time.
Of course, the presence of so many people in related professions here also brings good news that most of the street gangsters are far away from here, even if it's not too far from Hell's Kitchen's Chelsea district.
Ruiz seemed to be in a good mood, and instead of going to the small room, he sat directly at the bar, where Jimmy was chatting with Woody in the bar.
Jimmy knocked on the bar, "Woody, give me a whiskey." You look happy, Ruiz, what's the good thing? ”
Ruiz: "Of course I'll be happy if you don't make trouble for me." How's it going, is it going well over there in New Mexico? ”
"Of course, you got a thank you letter, right? I'm not ashamed of our office. Cheers. ”
Touching the glass, Ruiz said, "Do you want to rest for a while?" ”
Jimmy: "Of course, I'm on a business trip for more than a month, and I need some time to spend with my family. There shouldn't be anything for me to deal with in the bureau, right? ”
Ruiz: "No, let's go, tell me what's going on over there." ”
The conversation with Ruiz must have been detailed, and the two of them went to the small room and sat down, and Jimmy poured himself a bottle of wine and explained the case in detail.
Ruiz said thoughtfully: "In other words, this time you knocked out a large drug cartel, and by the way, you also cleaned up a branch of a transnational drug cartel, right?" ”
Jimmy nodded: "To be precise, I killed a big Mexican drug lord, and Eladio's manor happened to be killed by the CIA's people, so although the DEA only killed a domestic drug dealer gang, it actually gained more." ”
Ruiz reached out and nodded at Jimmy: "What else do you say CIA, do you really think I can't see that you did it?" ”
Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of his wine: "I won't admit it anyway, the CIA contacted the DEA through the official, and they sent it back from Mexico." ”
Ruiz thought about it for a moment: "Are the people in the CIA reliable?" ”
Jimmy: "It should be okay, we worked together before, it was the Seventeen thing." Don't worry, no one will leak the news, three departments are involved, and if he is not sick in the brain, he should know the secret. ”
mentioned Seventeen, Ruiz's face still changed, this guy really brought Ruiz a lot of trouble, the key is that their relationship was very good before, he is still Seventeen's contact, if it weren't for Jimmy's decision to dispose of Seventeen, and when someone finds out later, he will definitely be implicated, "Just be reliable, your identity is different from before, there are some things to pay attention to." ”
After chatting for a while, Ruiz suddenly asked, "Have you got your academic qualifications?" ”
Jimmy blinked, "No problem, what's wrong?" ”
Ruiz thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you can consider continuing your studies." ”
Jimmy frowned and looked at Ruiz, "Is there anything wrong with academic qualifications?" ”
Ruiz shook his head: "This is Dave's opinion, you have been in the limelight a bit lately, especially in cross-departmental business, maybe he wants you to stabilize for another two years." ”
Jimmy was speechless, he was honestly a salary thief, who knows there will be so many things to find him? Whether it's going to Miami and Los Angeles, or going to Albuquerque, although I do a lot of things, it's not what I like, isn't it fragrant to accompany my wife and children at home?
Who would want to go to work?
Jimmy: "Are you sure it's Dave's opinion?" ”
Ruiz nodded, and Jimmy shrugged: "Let's go back to this, I just want to enjoy the vacation now, I haven't been with my children for more than a month." Have fun, I'll go home first. ”
Jimmy drank the rest of the wine from his glass, got up and left the small room.
Ruiz watched Jimmy leave, although the expression on his face did not change, but he could still see that Jimmy was not without thoughts, but this could not be helped, and after Dave talked to him once, he understood that some things really did not go so well.
