North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 629 Investigation
Jimmy did not go back to the office to wait, but went directly to the NYPD Detective Bureau. The mutilation case was originally investigated by him privately to increase Nia's performance. Later, Nia returned to the police station to investigate this case. On the way to support the patrol, he was shot by a gangster and took a long vacation.

In this disappearance case, Nia was quickly put on the missing list after she was shot. The case was shelved. After that, Nia returned to the police station and still did not restart the investigation. As mentioned before, there are too many missing people every year, and it is impossible for the police to cover them all. To investigate and find.

He called Nia on the way here, and he went straight into the police station with a swipe of his face. He had been here a lot, so he was already familiar with her face.

Nia saw Jimmy enter the office and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jimmy: "Where is your past case information? There may be new clues in one case, which is the disappearance case you were investigating when you were shot."

Nia thought for a while and nodded: "I'll go look for it. You can sit here with me first."

Soon, Nia walked out of the nearby data room, holding a folder and giving it to Jimmy, "What clues were found?"

Jimmy said as he opened the folder: "We found a dark network, and there was a video on it. The tattoos on the woman in it were very similar to the tattoos on the body in the dismemberment case that I told you about before. You remember it, right? I When I investigated that case before, I started with tattoos.”

Nia nodded: "What about the video? What's in it?"

Jimmy: "It's on me, but I won't show it to you for now. It's a bit ugly. I'll look at the information first, and then I'll tell you how to deal with it later."

Nia's investigation was very detailed when she received the disappearance case. The information here not only contains information about the missing Anne Foster, but also a recent photo of her. According to the mark, it should be from the beginning of last year, because the video The faces of the women in it were mosaic-ed, so Jimmy couldn't quite connect them yet.

In the photo, Anne Foster is wearing a coat and trousers, and her tattoos and figure are not clearly visible, which makes comparison really difficult.

Jimmy: "Please make two copies of the photo for me, as well as this information."

Nia: "Are you going to reopen this case? Or are you going to take over the dismemberment case?"

Jimmy shook his head and looked around, "There is no rush to restart the case for the time being. No one else except me has connected the dark web video with the corpse case and your disappearance case. They have no clues, and I am here to get clues." The method is somewhat troublesome, but I will investigate it first, and if it can continue, I will merge several cases together."

Nia nodded and took the photos and information to copy. Jimmy continued to look through the investigation reports at the back, including the contents of Nia and her colleagues' investigation into the apartment where Anne Foster lived and the jazz club where she worked. Basically, you can read Come out, this is an excellent jazz singer, and she is also a star in the club, but jazz is not as good as pop music, and not many people outside are familiar with her.

Speaking of jazz, Woody at Jimmy's Bar seems to be a senior jazz enthusiast. If necessary, you can ask him to help you investigate in the club.

Nia gave the copy to Jimmy, "Is there no problem with your investigation like this? I mean process problems."

Jimmy smiled, "I've violated the rules a lot. Let's get the results first. If it doesn't work, we can only do something with the OPR. Okay, I'm leaving now."

After kissing Nia, Jimmy left the police station.What he said to Nia just now is indeed what he thought. It's still unclear whether this case can be solved. Now we only rely on an unclear tattoo picture in a video to determine the corpse case, disappearance case and rape and murder in the video. The corpse dismemberment case is really a little too unreliable.

All his current investigations are things that cannot be included in the report. Even if he confirms the identity of the tattoo and the corresponding deceased with the tattoo artist, he still has to find a way to get clues that can clearly link it, but it will be known by then The answer is to look for available or tellable clues from the past, which will be relatively simple.

Of course, for this case to be publicly investigated, Jimmy must be certain. When he is not sure, it is better to just say that there are no clues and get it over with. Anyway, there are so many things involved in the dark web case, so this is not enough to close the case.

Besides, there were really no clues in those videos. If Jimmy hadn't investigated before, he would have given up immediately after receiving the screenshots of the videos provided by Julia.

In the afternoon, Jimmy came to the tattoo shop as scheduled. The owner Aria Blackwood led Jimmy to the lounge inside, "Agent Yang, what are you doing here this time?"

Jimmy took out the photo of Anne Foster he got from Nia and handed it over: "Ms. Blackwood, I need your help to confirm a customer who was here before. I asked you before. That fleur-de-lis tattoo, did she come here to get it? Anne Foster."

Blackwood took the photo, looked at it, nodded and gave it back to Jimmy, "Yes, that's her."

Jimmy nodded, put the photo back into the folder, and took out the tattoo photo in the video screenshot. This tattoo was incomplete. There was no way. After all, the video was not specifically about this tattoo, but there was still nearly half of the pattern. "What about this one?" ?Looks similar to the fleur-de-lis pattern you have here.”

Blackwood took it and took a look, frowning slightly, "Are there any more complete and clear photos?"

Jimmy shook his head slightly: "Sorry, this was taken from a video. It already has the most patterns."

Blackwood: "It's hard to be completely sure with just these, and the pattern is a little distorted, so I'm not 100% sure. Can I see the video?"

Jimmy continued to shake his head: "Not yet, that video..." Taking a deep breath, he continued: "That is a case video, it is quite sensitive, and it is not convenient for you to see it."

Blackwood picked up the copied picture again, turned it left and right, and looked at it carefully, "I think it's about 70%, I'm really not sure."

Jimmy nodded: "Okay, let me go back and investigate again. If there are clear pictures, I will show you again."

Blackwood nodded, gave the copy in his hand to Jimmy, and then took a business card from the side, "If you just want to identify the picture, you can send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Jimmy took the business card and nodded with a smile: "Thank you for delaying your working time, then I will go back. Goodbye."

Jimmy collected all the information and left the tattoo shop. Blackwood said that he was [-]% sure that it was her tattoo work, so it was basically certain, because she was facing Jimmy, an FBI agent, and she would definitely not say anything if she had any doubts. It was too full, she said [-]%, and she estimated that it was at least [-]% to [-]% sure.

Jimmy returned to the office, pulled over the whiteboard, and pasted the information he got from Nia directly onto it. Then he went to the computer to find the information related to the corpse case that he had left before, and printed it out and pasted it on the whiteboard. Stand in front of the whiteboard and observe carefully.

Julia and Mark came over, "Yang, have you found the clue?"

Jimmy: "Well, it's not confirmed yet whether these three cases are related. This is a disappearance case from the NYPD. The missing person is Anne Foster, and this is the photo.

This is a corpse case discovered by the NYPD before. The body fragments were fished out of the East River and have not yet been identified.

Finally, there is the case here. The connection between these three cases is this tattoo. There is a pattern on the thigh of the corpse. I asked someone to see this tattoo, and it is basically certain that it is an iris flower, the first missing case of Anne Foss. Te also has a similar iris tattoo. "

Jimmy turned to look at Julia: "By the way, Julia, ask the technical department to process the video. I need to confirm the image of this tattoo in the video with the tattoo artist. Remember to process it cleanly. ." Julia nodded: "I understand, I'll let them handle it right away."

Jimmy: "Mark, Julia, please take a look at this information first. The other two cases are still with the NYPD, and we don't need to take them over for the time being."

After saying that, Jimmy returned to his seat, inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, and began to check the video on the dark web. He had indeed not watched this video in full before, and now it was time for him to watch it carefully.

The content of the video is somewhat perverted, with AV in the front, and murder and corpse dismemberment at the back. If such a video were to be leaked, it’s hard to imagine how big a trap it would be.

However, the video resolution of today's video recorders is really bad. Just looking at the video, you can tell that the equipment used is definitely not a professional camera.Generally, the resolution of digital camcorders or VHS recorders for home use is very poor, which is only slightly better than that of mobile phone cameras, but is completely incomparable with the high-definition digital camcorders that follow.

However, this kind of clarity is not a big problem for old monitors. Most computer monitors now only have a resolution of 800-1024. The computers at the FBI are relatively better, but there is a big gap from what they were more than ten years ago.

Julia and Mark looked very carefully. Jimmy looked over and found no obvious features. The tools used by the suspect were also very ordinary machetes and axes. They can be found everywhere in the United States, and there is no way to tell them apart. .

"Dong dong" David knocked on the door, "Jimmy."

Jimmy looked up and saw that it was David, and stood up to say hello: "Hi, David, what's the matter?"

David: "Go out and talk?"

While getting the clothes, Jimmy asked Mark and the others to continue investigating. He followed David to an empty conference room.

David: "Jimmy, I heard that you spent some time in Dallas, Texas? Are you familiar with it?"

Jimmy nodded: "Well, I was seconded two or three times. What's wrong?"

David: "We knocked down a gang some time ago and arrested their leader. In addition to their regular business, they also sold drugs. Their drugs came from Texas, and the online organization was run by a man named Bolsa, but No details available.

The transportation route is arranged there, and New York is only responsible for receiving and distributing goods.

Ruiz said that you are familiar with it there. Please help me contact the Dallas office to see if they have any information on this person. "

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Is it necessary to catch up? This kind of organization must be cross-border. There are many large and small drug trafficking organizations in Texas and New Mexico. It is not easy to completely destroy them. "

David: "When you have a clue, you should always try to pursue it. If you can get rid of the organization online, it will be beneficial to everyone."

Jimmy thought for a while: "It's probably not appropriate to contact the Dallas office for this matter. I'll ask the DEA directly. I also have an acquaintance there."

This time it was David's turn to be surprised, "DEA? Is it reliable?"

Jimmy: "It's okay. I've dealt with them before. If you think it's possible to alert the snake, I can ask over there in Albuquerque. I also know one or two of the DEA offices over there."

David was speechless. How could you, a young man, have so many connections?I was seconded to the Dallas office, and it's understandable that I know one or two DEA agents in Dallas. How come I still have connections with the New Mexico side?
David: "Okay, no matter who it is, just ask. If there are no clues, we will give up."

Jimmy nodded and stood up: "I understand, but the person doing the specific work may be over there, so you have to be mentally prepared."

David also stood up: "Of course, everyone will get the credit together."

Jimmy: "Okay, you wait for my news."

After that, Jimmy and David left the conference room. David went back to his office. Jimmy looked around and walked to the elevator to go out.

Finding a quiet place downstairs, Jimmy took out his cell phone and called Thorsten Markus in the DEA's Dallas office.

Jimmy: "Hi Marcus, I'm Jimmy."

Thorsten: "Jimmy, why are you calling me at this time? Are you in Dallas?"

Jimmy: "No, I'm still in New York. Are you in the office or outside?"

Thorsten: "I'm in the office, what's going on?"

Jimmy: "There is something that I may need your help to investigate. A drug trafficking organization was busted here in New York a few days ago. Their handler is a man named Bolsa. The goods came from Texas. I want your help to investigate." There is no information about this person.”

Thorsten paused: "Are you talking about Bolsa? Do you have his full name? Is there any other information?"

Jimmy: "No more, just one name. The people arrested here said the delivery route was arranged by the Texas side, and they are not familiar with it at all."

Thorsten: "This name is unfamiliar and I have no impression of it."

Jimmy: "Well, if you come up with any information, please let me know."

Jimmy did not hang up the phone in a hurry. Instead, he mentioned that he would get married this year in a few months and would send him an invitation later. After congratulating him, Torsten also said that he would try his best to arrange time to attend.

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette. He saw that there were only a few cigarettes left in the case. He was going to Chinatown to replenish his supply.
