North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 498 Proposal
Jimmy's good mood early in the morning was ruined by a phone call from Ruiz. He hung up the phone, made sandwiches and packed them in wrapping paper. This was his and Nia's breakfast, but his was double.

After Nia came out of the shower, the two got tired of it for a while, and then went to work.

Jimmy is already making preparations, and it will be Nia's birthday in a while. He is going to give her a surprise at that time, so the two of them have spent more time together recently, but he has never revealed anything.

When he came to the office, he went directly to Ruiz, "Is there any news now?"

Ruiz: "The initial judgment was indeed a suicide, and the surveillance video ruled out the possibility that someone entered his cell."

Jimmy: "How did you commit suicide?"

Ruiz: "Prison uniforms twisted into ropes, hanging from the railings by hanging themselves."

Jimmy was speechless, what the hell was going on?He was caught and has not been sentenced. He was only temporarily imprisoned, and he hadn't even had a few rounds of interrogation. Why did he suddenly commit suicide?Threatened?
Jimmy: "Have you found any clues? For example, have you talked to him?"

Ruiz: "Not yet, the surveillance video has not been checked yet, wait for the news."

Jimmy: "Where are the people in the detention center? Did they investigate? Did they have contact with that person?"

Ruiz shook his head: "I can't be sure for now. Emma's people are investigating now. After all, it's her business. It's not convenient for us to come forward for the time being."

Jimmy sighed: "Okay, let me know if there is any news, I'll go back to the office first."

Ruiz nodded. This matter is likely to involve him, not just the smuggling case itself. If it is confirmed that the Genovese family is involved, the people on Emma's side will not be as professional as his.

Generally speaking, smuggling cases will have a large background, and there may be many gangs and various departments involved, especially the smuggling line at sea. It is not that Emma and the others have not engaged in large cases before, but they are usually coordinated by various teams of the FBI. In terms of familiarity with various gangs, the organized crime investigation team must be number one.

Jimmy returned to the office, looked at the system messages on the computer, and made sure that he was fine for the time being, so he fished.Just did a big event, which also triggered the attention of the OPR and federal prosecutors. Now it is doing more and more mistakes. If you can not make troubles, just stay honest and don't give them any excuses to investigate.

It's just that he couldn't drink his tea. Just after making the tea, Boss Hughes called.

Jimmy looked at the brewed tea in front of him. The good tea had just been brewed, and it would not taste good after a while. He thought about pouring it all into his thermos, and took the thermos to Hughes' office.

Hughes waved his hand: "Close the door."

Jimmy turned and closed the office door, "What happened? Hughes."

Hughes: "This case is going well, but don't go out if you have nothing to do recently, just stay in the office."

Jimmy: "Did it happen yesterday? Ruiz told me not only the OPR, but also the federal prosecutors?"

Hughes nodded: "When you raided those apartments in the early morning, the procedures were not complete, and you were caught. The smuggling case on Emma's side is better, but the shooting case on your side is a bit troublesome."

Jimmy twisted his mouth. These people are really stunned by procedural justice. Why do they think so much about this kind of case where their own people were killed? If they have clues, they will do it. If they think about this and that, they have already run away.

Jimmy really doesn't like these people. Think about how brothers are killed in various police stations.All the sub-bureaus set out to investigate with all their strength. The streets were full of patrol cars, and dozens of hundreds of patrol officers all gathered to block the traffic. That was really a big battle.

Now Jimmy and the others are only a little bit irregular in procedures, and everyone from the OPR in the bureau to the federal prosecutors is rushing over. They really should take a good class and learn what is called life and death brothers.

Looking at Jimmy's expression, Hughes knew what he was thinking, "Anyway, it's somewhat troublesome now, all of you are, be more honest these days."

Jimmy nodded: "I understand, I'm going back to the office to make tea and drink tea. Oh, yes, this is what I just made, Hughes, how about a cup?"

Hughes really had a headache looking at Jimmy's heartless look, "Well."

Jimmy took the cup next to him, opened the thermos and poured a cup for Hughes, then left the thermos directly, turned and left.

Hughes looked at the cups and thermos on the table and shook his head.

Jimmy is at the bottom, and the pressure is not transmitted to him at all. Hughes is the one with the most pressure in the game.

Although Ryan and Derek belong to the field office, they belong to the field office of the Manhattan office in terms of establishment. They are just permanent offices, not temporary ones.

Hughes is the Assistant Secret Service Supervisor, who is responsible for the management of field agents. Of course, the field agents in the field office are also under his management, but there are also people in charge of the field office.

Now one field agent is dead and one is injured, the Manhattan office finds the murderer within 24 hours, and all the murderers are brought to justice.

Now such a person is being targeted for investigation. If they can't figure it out, the field office will probably be blown up.Maybe everyone will not say anything publicly, but it is definitely a very big trouble for internal unity.

Hughes picked up the cup, blew on it, drank a little, and thought about it while drinking. After finishing the cup of tea, he also made up his mind that he must suppress the matter this time.

Hughes picked up his suit and walked to the director's office. This matter still needs to be worked from above, and bad things must be turned into good things for him.

Jimmy got a face-to-face reminder from Hughes that he, who was going to fish, was completely messed up.Back in the office, I remade tea for myself, and simply sat on the sofa drinking tea and watching TV news.

Jimmy doesn't even want to read historical cases. If he reads too much, he will think too much, and if he thinks too much, he will easily do wrong things. Yesterday, Ruiz sent a text message to remind him, and today Hughes reminded him face to face. If this happened to him If the car overturned, it's time to dig a hole and bury yourself.

In the morning I get off work and go to lunch, in the afternoon I get home from get off work, I don’t even go to the bar, I stay at home honestly, I even order takeaway for dinner, my mobile phone is always by my side, waiting to see what’s going on What means.

For several days in a row, there was still no news from Hughes, but the case briefing meeting that should have been held according to the normal procedure was not held. Hughes made a phone call and went home early to concentrate on his personal affairs.

He ordered a birthday cake in advance from the cake shop next to Nia's house in the Upper East Side. Nia mentioned this shop many times. Their family's birthdays are ordered from here, and they usually go to buy desserts.

When I got home, I emptied the refrigerator halfway, and put the cake box in the refrigerator for storage. After a while, Woody came over with a box.

Woody: "Boss, why did you ask me to bring wine?"

Jimmy: "Of course it's for big things. Well, put the wine here, and I'll take care of the rest."

Woody nodded and was about to turn around to leave when there was another knock on the door behind him.Jimmy went to open the door, and the people from the nearby restaurant came over with incubators. Jimmy even ordered takeout for dinner.

Woody looked at the waiter in the restaurant helping to arrange the table, nodded thoughtfully, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Boss, I'm going back first."

Jimmy: "OK, thanks, Woody."

Jimmy sent Woody away, and the waiter finished placing the food and left Jimmy's house.He called Nia: "Nia, are you off work? How long is it?"

Nia: "It will be here soon, why?"

Jimmy: "It's nothing, I'll wait for you at home."

Nia: "Well, 10 minutes."

-

Nia took the key and opened the door, "Jimmy, why don't you turn on the light?"

She casually put the keys on the table next to her, hung her bag on the hanger by the door, and turned on the light in the living room casually.

"Happy Birthday to You,..."

Jimmy was standing in the living room clapping his hands and singing, Nia was startled when she heard Jimmy's voice when she turned on the light.She had never seen Jimmy like this, and her surprise almost turned into shock.

When the two dated before, on her birthday, she usually went directly to restaurants outside to eat, and went to have a crazy night at night. This time, she thought that Jimmy just wanted to cook dinner for her.

Nia came to Jimmy and patted him, "I was scared to death. Why did you suddenly think of such a ritual thing? This is obviously different from your usual!"

Jimmy smiled, "It's your birthday today, look, the birthday cake is ready, come and make a wish."

Jimmy took out the lighter and lit the candle, and pulled Nia to stand beside him.Nia clasped her hands on her chin, closed her eyes and thought about something, then opened her eyes, "huh", and blew out the candle above in one breath.

Jimmy opened the chair for Nia to sit down. He came to Nia's side and knelt on one knee. Nia was obviously a little surprised, but at the same time, she realized something, showing surprise, biting her lower lip.

Jimmy took the box out of his pocket and opened it: "Nia, we have been together for a long time, you know me, I know you, you are my best friend, my soul mate, the love of my life, I want to use The rest of my life will make you happy. Will you marry me?"

Nia nodded happily, "I do."

Jimmy took out the ring from the box, Nia held out her left hand, and Jimmy took her hand and put the ring on the left middle finger.Nia stretched out her hands to hug Jimmy, and the two kissed, "Boom", the chair Nia was sitting on tilted to the side, and she directly pressed on Jimmy's body.

When the two of them calmed down, Jimmy tidied up and came to the dining table. The dishes on the table were completely cold, "Um, the dishes are cold, there's nothing to eat, shall we go out to eat?"

Nia smiled and said, "Okay." She reached out and hugged Jimmy from behind.

Jimmy: "Okay, let's go take a shower."

The two finished washing and were about to go out when Nia stopped suddenly, "Wait a minute."

She came to the dining table, cut a small piece of cake, ate it with Jimmy, wiped the cream from her mouth, and went out to eat.

After dinner, Jimmy and Nia went straight to the bar.

Woody watched Jimmy and Nia come together, raised his eyebrows at Jimmy, raised his chin and pointed to the ring on Nia's hand, "Boss, congratulations, you are finally getting married."

Jimmy laughed and put his arms around Nia's shoulders: "Envy me. I'll invite you today."

Woody nodded, clapped his hands and reminded the bartender at the bar: "The boss has successfully proposed, guys, prepare a round for everyone." He came to the side of the bar, where there was a brass bell, which he didn't usually ring very often.

Woody picked up the small hammer and tapped it, and there was a very clear sound, "Ding". "Hey guys, this generous gentleman just proposed to the lady next to him and she said YES, so they want to buy everyone a drink to celebrate. Let's congratulate them!"

All kinds of congratulatory voices rang out in the bar, and the bartender also began to place wine glasses on the bar counter, picking up whiskey and pouring wine.

Jimmy raised his glass: "Thank you, everyone! Cheers!" He drank the wine in his glass, hugged Nia and smiled while watching the happy crowd in the bar.

Isaac, the bar manager, heard the cheers outside and came out of the back office. He thought someone was making trouble in the bar, but he saw Jimmy sitting at the bar.

Isaac: "Boss, why are you here?"

Woody: "Isaac, the boss proposed."

Isaac: "Wow, congratulations. Woody, get me a drink."

Isaac toasted Jimmy and Nia with a glass of wine, and returned to the office after chatting for a few words.

Jimmy watched Isaac leave and asked Woody, "What's wrong with Isaac? He doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

Woody lay on the bar, approaching Jimmy: "He hasn't been in a good spirit since the divorce, and it has been going on for a while."

Jimmy nodded: "Take care of him, don't make him too busy."

Woody: "Understood, we work together very well, I will take care of him."

Jimmy looked at Nia: "This bar will also be yours in the future, you can invite other people to come and have fun, um, especially Chuck and the others."

Nia: "They come a lot, especially after Chuck knows the bar is yours, they come more than me."

Jimmy: "That's good, with them here, it's a bit safer here, at least there won't be so many messes."

After staying at the bar for a while, Jimmy and Nia ordered another round of drinks before leaving, and went home to rest happily after receiving a bunch of blessings.

On the weekend, Nia returned home with Jimmy's engagement ring, which of course caused a burst of exclamation at home. Although Jimmy only came once, the impression on the family was good, except of course Nia's father.

Nia's mother was already discussing with her when to arrange an engagement ceremony for the two of them, and she was really worried about getting married.

Jimmy didn't have so many things to do. When he went to work, he finally received a notice. OPR formally filed an investigation application for the shooting case they handled, and began to conduct inquiries and investigations of all those involved in the shooting case and review all reports.

The review of OPR is an internal process of the office. Although it is a bit overwhelming, no one can say that they have violated the regulations and can only be investigated.
