North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 683 Warning
This matter can be big or small. Kevin has no clear statement and needs some time to think about how to deal with it. Jimmy is not in a hurry to settle the matter and leave it to Mark and Julia to deal with it first.

Investigating electricity usage is not that simple. You need to go through the application process. Cross-department coordination here in the United States is not as simple as making a phone call. In line with the principle of not wasting resources, Julia directly applied for the murder case. The electricity usage of each house on that street.

The next day, Julia received a fax about the power situation provided by the power company. After a brief glance, she understood the problem. The power usage of their target house was abnormal, several times that of the other houses nearby, and Not only the building he targeted, but also his neighbor's power supply was abnormal.

Julia gave the report to Jimmy, "Yang, the electricity in this house is abnormal, and the one next to it. They may have planted leaves in the house."

Jimmy glanced at it and waved his hand, "Well, you can probably guess that this matter is not troublesome. You can handle it yourself. Think about how to do things solidly and don't leave any excuses for others."

Julia was a little stunned, "Shall we deal with it?"

Jimmy: "Well, it's not difficult, but the process must withstand the scrutiny of others. I can't handle everything for you. Think about it carefully."

Julia took back the report and sat back down. This investigation was not the murder case they had been investigating, and she really didn't know how to handle the process.

Jimmy is not shirking the blame. He has pointed out the biggest doubts and prevented Mark and Julia from taking detours. Now it is easy for them to just reason about the process when there are results.

Mark and Julia have also been detectives for a long time and have handled cases independently. If they can't handle things well when the outcome is clear, it would be a bit too dogmatic. Maybe let them work with Jimmy. It is better to transfer several departments to gain more experience.

Mark was still taking over the investigation at OPR. When he came back, Julia told him the situation. Mark glanced at Jimmy and nodded, "We'll do it, no problem."

Jimmy: "By the way, let me know when you get the results. The New York District Attorney is not someone to be trifled with."

Mark: "Understood."

Jimmy: "How's it going at OPR? Did they give you any trouble?"

Mark shook his head: "I just asked about the situation. I saw the surveillance picture they provided. The picture was not clear, but I can basically confirm that it was me."

Jimmy: "Well, there's nothing we can do if we have evidence. Be careful in the future and observe the surrounding situation in advance."

Mark: "I understand. We are now waiting for the OPR investigation results, and the situation has not been announced yet."

Jimmy: "We have limited time. We need to get this done as soon as possible before the complaint comes out. Besides, murder is a good reason."

Mark nodded: "Yes, I understand. Julia, let's go."

Jimmy watched Mark and Julia pack up their things and leave, and nodded. Mark was obviously more assertive than Julia, but occasionally had some impulses. This was somewhat similar to Jimmy, but he didn't have Jimmy's ability to do it. Turning the tide of the war in an unfavorable environment, so independence should not be enough.

Julia is more careful and investigates clues more carefully when handling cases. She is a good supplement to Mark, but she still does not have the ability to handle cases independently for the time being.

This is not bad. After all, the two of them have only been regular members for less than a year, so they can't ask for so much.

Jimmy's guess was indeed correct. After Mark and Julia left, they discussed how to deal with this matter in the car. The first was the clues about how they discovered it. It couldn't be said that it was Jimmy who pointed it out.

After adjusting their investigation of the murder case, it was completely feasible to use the investigation clues as a reason to investigate the residents around the deceased. Now they just wanted to think of a reasonable reason to let him in through the back door to observe. By the way, you can also find clues about the leaves they planted.

Returning to the target area, a black van was parked here. Mark looked around and knocked on the back door. The back door opened and Mark immediately got in and closed the door.

Mark: "Anything gained?"

Surveillance agent: "Not yet. People inside only came out once since we got here yesterday, to throw away garbage. The people who came here were also delivering takeout. Based on the number of takeout boxes in the garbage, there should be only one person inside."

Mark: "Well, you continue to monitor."

After saying that, he got out of the car, returned to the car and synchronized the news with Julia. The two looked at their target house, "Julia, have you found the information about the resident next door who has an abnormal battery?"

Julia nodded: "I found it, do we need to deal with it together?"

Mark: "Let's go check it out. Maybe they have something to do with it."

While telling Mark about the situation of the neighbor next door, Julia walked over there, knocked on the door, and a man came out. Julia still hoped that he could provide some unusual clues on the grounds of investigating a murder, and Mark said by the way. I observed the situation inside the house, but couldn't see much because of the angle.

After saying goodbye to the man, Julia put away the notepad and pen in her hand, and whispered to Mark: "He also has problems."

Mark: "Well, he was too nervous. He was not nervous like ordinary people meeting FBI agents, but he didn't see what was going on inside from the door."

Julia: "Let me check again."

Mark and Julia returned to the car. Julia looked up information on her laptop, and Mark looked at the two houses in front of him in a daze.

Jimmy didn't completely let the two of them handle it on their own. He was not familiar with OPR, and OPR director David Martin had only met him a few times. It was basically a routine matter. It would definitely not be appropriate to approach him directly, so he had to find a suitable one. Someone came to help him find out.

This candidate definitely couldn’t be Ruiz, and it couldn’t be too different in level, so after thinking about it for a while, Jimmy thought of Tim Dunn from the administrative department. Everyone in the administrative department knew everyone, and he was not too bad in level. He could help. It shouldn't be a problem to get some information.

Tim Dunn had had a lot of dealings with Jimmy. Jimmy opened the drawer and looked at it, but decided to bring a box of black tea. Isn't it strange that there were so many gifts?

Tim saw Jimmy coming over and stood up to greet him with a smile. After chatting for a while, Jimmy put forward his own idea and hoped that Tim would help find OPR to find out about the complaint against Mark.

Tim shook his head helplessly. Jimmy really came to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. He always found some problems for him every time he came here.

Fortunately, this time I came to inquire for the sake of my subordinates, so it was not a major violation of regulations.

Tim: "No problem, let me find time to take a look."

Jimmy: "Thanks, I don't know many people over there, and some things are hard to find out. How about this for now? I'm going back."

Tim: "Let's go, let's go, nothing good happens every time you come." Jimmy left with a smile, and Tim just said that, in the past few years, Tim has been very dedicated in the logistics field, and he definitely deserves it. He is a qualified butler. The key is that he is easier to talk to. Of course, this is true for people like Jimmy. As for other people, let's talk about it. Jimmy doesn't know anyway.

It turned out that Tim was still very capable. At noon, Tim called Jimmy and the two had a simple meal outside. Only then did Tim reveal the problem this time.

To put it simply, Mark was unlucky and ran into an event that OPR had just launched internally. Because there had been no action from OPR for a long time, the supervisor David Martin also felt that something was wrong and summoned several senior detectives. The staff held an internal meeting to ask them to work harder and at least show that they were not just a show-off.

But OPR itself is an internal supervision agency, and it definitely doesn't do anything as loudly as other departments, so it has always been very low-key, and outsiders don't know.

For the supervision of detectives, the first thing to do is to get the department’s complaints for analysis. Theoretically, unless these complaints are completely anonymous or purely funny and deceptive, it can basically show that the person being complained will always have some degree of bias. The problem is, they don't want to take the lead now, but they want to show that they are still doing something.

It was a good time for Mark to be complained about. He received the complaint within one day and arranged for personnel to investigate and question Mark. The internal process went very smoothly, just because he was in the homicide department, under Jimmy. Therefore, OPR was not too tough. They first arranged for someone to come to greet Jimmy, and then asked Mark to go by himself.

When Jimmy heard this reason, he really felt that Mark should go to the church confessional and confess. He must have done something bad that caused him to be so unlucky. This mess would have been over in a day or two earlier, even if there were complaints. No one is watching.

Jimmy: "What about this time? Have they reached a conclusion?"

Tim: "Not yet, but I suggest you talk to David Martin. Maybe you can get something out of it."

Jimmy: "I don't have any friendship with Martin."

Tim: "It's okay. I'll ask in the afternoon. In fact, Martin's life is not easy. Do you remember the escaped OPR senior agent Garrett Fuller, right? He used to work for Martin, and Fuller is still here I haven’t caught him yet.”

Jimmy: "I have a bit of an impression, but I haven't seen him since, and I haven't asked about it. I really don't know why he ran away. After all, he is also an FBI agent!"

Tim: "This matter has something to do with Peter, but it's been a long time. Don't worry about it. I guess the higher ups don't want him, they're just looking for him."

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll go find Martin in the afternoon. Alas, Mark and the others still have too little experience and act too impulsively."

Tim was speechless. Aren't you the most impulsive person in the bureau?

After having a simple meal, the two of them returned to the office with a cup of coffee each. Jimmy checked the time, called David Martin on the intercom and made an appointment.

David Martin was still very respectful to Jimmy and did not make Jimmy wait long. Jimmy came to Martin's office and knocked on the door, "Agent Martin, good afternoon."

Agent Martin smiled and stood up to shake hands with Jimmy. The two sat on the sofa in the reception area and did not chat at the desk.

Martin: "You came here about Mark, right?"

Jimmy: "Or do you understand me, Martin, what's going on?"

Martin: "You know what happened. We also investigated according to the normal complaint logic. It's just that this time the complaint came with surveillance video, so the process always has to go through."

Jimmy: "But Martin, Mark, he has a legitimate reason."

Martin: "Oh? He didn't provide this reason when he came to take over the inquiry. Please tell me."

Jimmy: "I'm not targeting you. I'm just telling you what I know. Mark and Julia are investigating a murder. An IRS clerk was murdered nearby. They were targeting neighboring residents nearby. For questioning and investigation, as for them going through the backyard, the main purpose was to confirm if there was anything unusual there. The murder suspect had not been caught. Every possible place was investigated. It was just that something happened during the investigation. Small flaws."

Martin nodded while listening: "Well, it sounds very reasonable. We have all handled cases. Sometimes situations like this will inevitably happen. I understand."

Martin looked at Jimmy and said with a smile: "Look, it would be great if he could explain it like this earlier. But because the homeowner has surveillance video evidence, we always have to investigate. It would be best if he can withdraw the lawsuit."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and understood: "Ah, yes, I will go back to Mark and ask him to come back to make up the transcript, and ask for the other party's understanding. I think everyone is reasonable and should be able to understand us. Difficulties.”

Martin: "Well, that's right, that's it."

Jimmy stood up, buttoned his suit, and shook hands with Martin: "Then I'll go back first, thank you, Agent Martin."

Martin: "You're welcome. Come and sit and chat when you have time. Goodbye."

Jimmy left OPR's office, the smile on his face slowly disappearing.

Although Martin didn't say much, Jimmy still caught a few points in it. It really hit us. It seems that what affected them before was not just Fuller's escape, but Martin was not bad. At least he gave us With the perfect solution, it will be much easier to find a way to solve Mark's mistakes once you have the plan.

Jimmy returned to his office, first called Mark and the others to check on the progress, and then made an appointment for a meeting tomorrow morning to avoid them going out to investigate without anyone coming back.

It's not easy to be a good leader. In order to wipe the butt of his subordinates, Jimmy tried his best.

But the next day, Mark and Julia gave Jimmy a surprise: "Yang, we found their problem. The people in the two houses with abnormal power were together, and the monitoring team has determined the circumstances of their meeting. Then it’s time to establish the evidence.”

Jimmy: "Well, that's good. It's good to have something to gain. Is there any progress in the murder investigation?"

Mark: "Not yet. The family of the deceased has been notified and came over, but they have no idea who their daughter's boyfriend is, and none of her colleagues know. Now we have no clues at all."

Jimmy: "Continue to follow up. If you can't find it again, you have to shelve it. By the way, Mark, Martin reminded us that they can end the investigation as long as we get the complainant's understanding. Will you handle it?"

Mark: "No problem. Besides, this gives me a reason to get close to him."

Jimmy: "OK, let's work, do it beautifully, and don't let others catch you."

Mark and Julia sat back in front of the computer, sorted out the information, and then went out together again.
