North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 648
Oliver Morgan, the director of the security company, is not stupid, but after he intervened in certain incidents, his fate was doomed, especially since the people who collaborated on the mission were themselves a group of war hyenas. They didn't care about killing a few people as long as they were not exposed. I will leave the United States after completing my mission, so naturally I won’t think too much about it.

However, there is a slight problem with this result. That is, Agent Riley from the FBI's Newark office made a mistake in their investigation direction. This Oliver Morgan is not a spy. Their investigation during this period was completely useless. They didn't know what to wait for Jimmy. What kind of look would they have on their side when I informed them.

The situation became clear after that. This time they robbed a total of 21 pieces of art, and the smuggling ship they were scheduled to leave did not have enough space. They could not take these items out of the United States and dispose of them, so they had to temporarily find a middleman in the underground world to dispose of them. , Falconi, who is known as the "agent" in the underground world, came into their sight.

The relationship between Falconi and Neil is personal. When he got the news about the artwork, he originally wanted to ask Neil for help in appraising it. Neil is a very powerful appraisal expert and forgery expert. As long as it passes his appraisal, These works of art can be found to be taken over by suitable people.

It just so happened that the robbery case that Mahone and Neil were following appeared in front of them, and that's when they asked Jimmy to help pretend to be a buyer.

Just as Jimmy Mahone and others guessed, the people of the Demon Wolf currently only know that all six of their combatants were killed and the thirteen pieces of art sent for trade were lost. No one knows the details. The only way to find out the reason is This agent.

Many things in the underground world are transparent. In order to avenge these six members, intelligence officer Max Haider spent a sum of money to get Falconi's location after contacting the group leader, and then met with him in front of him. And kidnapping, because the last kidnapping failed, this time he hired two extra people to help through a middleman. As a result, he encountered Jimmy and his friends during their fishing operation. The bait was not eaten, and their two big fish were also hooked.

Now that the matter is clear, the question now is where the artwork is located.

A total of nine people from the Demon Wolf came, and eight people performed the robbery mission. The last person was arranging the evacuation point. After the robbery was successful, some of the larger artworks were sold, and the other part was moved to the evacuation point.

When something happened to others, intelligence officer Max Haider had no choice but to return to New York to continue the investigation. Now he doesn't know the location of the artworks. He can only find out by contacting the last person.

Regarding the last person, Haider did not say his position. It seems that the previous deal given to him by Mahone did not allow him to completely give up his fantasy.

In fact, Haider's idea was very simple. Their robbery operation was successful, but apart from the ones who were shot dead, only one of them was still outside. They were all caught, and their identities were not completely clear. It is confidential. It is not difficult for an agency like the FBI to investigate. This is the United States, not a small African country, so it is not a big problem to be honest.

The success of the operation means that the mission is completed, and they can also get their rewards normally. Even if they go to prison, according to the rules of their regiment, his family can also receive corresponding rewards. For people like them who are precarious, this way Will suffice.

Therefore, the last person must not say that their mission items must successfully leave the United States and arrive in France.

Mahone and Mark have not forced him to confess the last person now. It is a surprise to receive so many testimonies at once. What is needed now is to sort it out as soon as possible to see what is missing. Moreover, when trading art works before, Jimmy still left He was killed alive, but he was recuperating in the hospital and could not be interrogated yet. Haider's testimony still needed to be compared with his to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

They got a disposable cell phone from Haider, and also obtained the location of their hideout in New York. Mahone also needed to go to the scene to check. There were many and complicated things, and these could not be solved in a short time.

This investigation has nothing to do with Jimmy. The hard work was done by Mark. He had been following Jimmy before, but now he was with Mahone. It was still this kind of intense interrogation session. He was somewhat uncomfortable with it. After he gave Jimmy When retelling the testimony, he still added some analysis of his own, but this did not affect Jimmy's judgment.

Jimmy: "Mark, did you check their hideout?"

Mark: "No, Ma Hong has arranged for people from the forensics department to go over and inspect. He is sorting out the interrogation report. He can only write this."

Jimmy nodded: "What about Falconi?"

Mark: "He has been released. He is a victim and not a suspect in the kidnapping case, so we do not continue to detain him."

Jimmy: "What about the murder of his two bodyguards? Did you include it in your report?"

Mark: "It should be written that in addition to attempted kidnapping, there is also a charge of first-degree murder. This is why the intelligence officer compromised. Mahone made a deal with him. If he cooperates, he can consider charging him with second-degree murder." Submit it to the U.S. Attorney's Office, and Mahone will help him negotiate a deal with the prosecutor."

Jimmy: "That's understandable, otherwise I really don't know why they are so cooperative. How have you been these past few days? What have you gained?"

Mark: "Well, the harvest is quite big. This is my first time coming into contact with this kind of case."

Jimmy: "Well, Ma Hong is a capable person. If you can learn more, just learn more. You don't have to worry about things in the group. Just continue to follow him these days."

Sending Mark back to Mahone, in the absence of Julia, he went to study with Mahone to train him. But from this point of view, the gap between Mark and Julia slowly widened. Leah was injured at the wrong time.

Jimmy had already made an appointment with Father White. The result of Kevin's communication with Father White still made him uncomfortable. When talking to Nia at night, he couldn't help but express his bitterness.

Nia didn't know about this before. Kevin didn't inform everyone after getting the news. He just informed Jimmy that she also invited many close classmates and colleagues to her wedding ceremony. Now these people may not be able to attend her wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony can only be waited at the hotel.

Nia reminded Jimmy that it is best to communicate this matter again. If it is limited to ten people, whether it is Kevin, Nia or Jimmy, many people will be offended. Offending one's relatives and friends for a wedding, this fact is What a loss.

Jimmy also thought about it and realized that this would indeed be difficult. It was actually okay on his side, as the scope of the relationship was relatively narrow and he wouldn't offend many people. But it was hard to tell on Kevin's side. His only daughter was getting married, and relatives and friends came. After getting married, I couldn't see the wedding ceremony. It is estimated that their relationship will be much weaker in the future, and the same is true for Nia. Marriage is no different from other activities. It may be the only one in a lifetime. There is no way to make up for this regret in the future.

Jimmy also had a headache, so he could only call Father White to make an appointment, wait for them to meet and have a good chat to see if there was any way to remedy the situation.

This time when he met Father White, he did not call Father Rodney. Jimmy drove to Staten Island by ferry, entered the church and said to a priest: "Father, I came to see Father White and made an appointment with him." of."

Priest: "Who are you?" Jimmy took out the exorcism badge: "Jimmy Young."

When the priest saw the badge, he knew he was one of his own. He smiled and nodded to Jimmy: "Please wait a moment."

The priest walked to the lounge at the back, and soon Father White came out, "Jimmy, what's the matter? It's not convenient to talk on the phone."

Jimmy: "Father White, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. It's like this. My father-in-law, Kevin Miller, came here a few days ago and talked to you about some wedding ceremonies, right?"

Father White nodded: "Is there any problem?"

Jimmy said with a wry smile: "Well, there are some questions, Father, why can only ten people participate? You know our profession, many people will come. After all, getting married is a major event in life, maybe the only one in my life. I don’t want to leave any regrets either.”

Father White: "Jimmy, this place has not hosted a wedding ceremony for a long time, nor has it hosted other activities. A small wedding ceremony is already the limit."

Jimmy: "So the limit on the number of people is not due to space restrictions here, right?"

Father White nodded: "There are also some reasons why I don't want this place to be too messy and affect other people here."

Jimmy: "What about keeping the ceremony simple? We made an agreement with the guests in advance that we will only have the wedding ceremony here, and then we will leave Staten Island and return to Manhattan to continue the rest of the activities."

Father White was still a little confused. It could be seen that he really didn't like the too lively environment. After waiting for a while, Father White finally nodded, "It's okay if there are not too many people, but we only have a few permanent residents here." The priest cannot maintain order, so you need to think about it yourself."

Jimmy laughed: "Of course it's no problem. Don't worry, I will communicate with everyone who comes here in advance."

Father White nodded: "So, is there anything else?"

Jimmy: "No more for now. The ceremony will be held here instead. I need to go back and resend the invitations. Time is still a little tight. Then I will take my leave now. Goodbye, Father White."

Jimmy left the church and drove back to Manhattan. On the way, he figured out why this happened. He had done something wrong. He should not have let Kevin come directly to talk to Father White.

Father White allowed him to hold the wedding at St. Andrew's Church because he liked Jimmy. In fact, it had nothing to do with Jimmy's identity or his social connections.

Later, the person who talked to Father White was Kevin. Although his status was not low, his relationship with the church really wasn't that great, so Father White naturally wouldn't give him much good looks.

Kevin was able to talk to Father White because Jimmy called Father White in advance. Otherwise, Jimmy doubted whether Kevin would be able to see Father White. Although his level was that of a priest, from the perspective of Father Rodney, he could not see Father White. It can also be seen from the attitude of Father White that his status in the Archdiocese of New York is very high.

So this time when Jimmy came to talk, it was easy to get the results he wanted, but Kevin couldn't. This was not a difference in the official status of the two people, but a personal sense of intimacy and distance.

Jimmy checked the time and called Kevin while driving. The church matter had been settled, and the things he had previously considered had to be changed.

His own affairs must be taken more seriously than the cases handled by the FBI, so now Jimmy can be said to be completely focused on his wedding, and he can just let Mahone and Mark follow the case.

While Jimmy was running about the church, Mahone also got new clues. They found a satellite phone from the temporary residence of Max Haider, the intelligence officer of the Wolf Mercenary Group, and also obtained it through the NSA. I searched the previous call records on his disposable cell phone and found a strange call from Atlantic City, New Jersey.

For this kind of mercenary group, there must be only a handful of contacts in the United States, so this person is likely to be the last person in charge of their retreat, especially since Atlantic City is a well-known tourist city, where there are several people every year With tens of millions of tourists and convenient transportation, it is normal for foreigners to visit and it will not attract other people's attention. It can be said to be a very good hiding place.

The subsequent investigation focused on tracking this phone call, but it involved the jurisdiction of the FBI's Philadelphia office, which was relatively troublesome.

After the satellite phone was found, it was sent to the technical department for processing. The result was very bad. This is a satellite phone using Ouxing Communications. The core of the system is in the Middle East, not in the United States. People who use this satellite phone do things. It's very safe. All communication records and other information on the phone have been deleted. It is difficult for them to directly obtain all satellite communication information.

The main areas covered by the Ouxing system are Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It does not achieve global coverage. Relatively speaking, only people who move within this coverage area will use it.

This also further supports Haider's testimony. The members of their Demon Wolf Mercenary Group are all veterans from Europe. Their missions are in the Middle East. It is normal to use the satellite phone of the European Star System.

If Mahone wants to continue the investigation, the breakthrough point is still with Haider. He must have memorized the phone numbers of some contacts. But at present, there are not many transactions that can be made. It is very difficult to come up with something more. Disaster.

This is a huge obstacle to Mahone and his team's subsequent investigation. In addition, the results obtained so far have relatively solved most of the robberies. Mahone and his team have also avenged part of their personal revenge, so they are busy After a few days, Mahone and Mark finally compiled the information, along with Jimmy's shooting report, and formally submitted the compiled case materials to the federal prosecutor's office, who reviewed the case and filed charges against the several suspects who were still alive.

Artworks from auction houses were robbed, so the insurance company will naturally bear the corresponding liability for compensation. The FBI has recovered most of the robbed artworks, which is already a very good result. This result is actually acceptable to all parties. The only The only ones suffering are Jones and Julia, who are the FBI's biggest losses.
