North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 724 Reason

Although the case was brought about by Jimmy and Steven, they did not get too involved in the specific investigation, mainly because the case discovered this time was too big.

Jimmy didn't go back to the hotel to rest at night, so he just found a place in the FBI office to relax for a while. Only during the meeting the next morning did he know how many good things the forensics department and other people involved in the on-site investigation had found in that club.

Several packs of marijuana, as well as many rolled cigarettes, are very suitable for use as attractants. Usually many people are attracted to increase the dosage and start smoking and injecting more addictive drugs. In the United States, from students to Adults, quite a few people are familiar with this process, which is one of the reasons why the age of drug users is getting younger and younger.

Several kilograms of methamphetamine had been packaged in small bags in advance and could be sold directly in small portions. Obviously, these goods were not packaged at the club, but were taken after being packaged elsewhere. No packages were found at the scene. Decorated studio. The purity of these methamphetamines has not yet been confirmed. We need to wait for testing by the laboratory to know. Experts from the DEA have also been contacted and will be in working order soon.

There is a financial room in the basement. From it, two people who counted cash, rearranged and affixed seals to the cash were caught, as well as a large amount of bulk cash. The current amount has not been sorted out and needs to be sorted out. The reason they didn't run away was because the financial room was opened from the outside. It was probably to prevent the people inside from doing anything wrong. The people inside couldn't open the door until the FBI and SWAT rushed in. They were squatting in the corner and hiding, and they acknowledged their work content very cooperatively.

There is also a lot of cash and messy things in the casino. It will take a long time to clean the entire building, especially the various hidden spaces that may exist, and it is estimated that a lot of manpower will be needed.

A weapons warehouse, which contains a large number of firearms and ammunition such as pistols, rifles, shotguns, etc. Most of them are ghost guns with their serial numbers wiped off. In addition, several pistols were recovered from the security personnel and the scene of the shootout. Jimmy and the others also handed over the pistols they had seized from the security personnel.

Two of the three underage technicians were found to have had sexual intercourse that night. Both of them were found in the room upstairs, hiding under the bed and in the corner. Fortunately, they were not involved in the gunfight. The last one was found in the room. In a small room in the basement, he was rescued by detectives.

There are more than ten adult sex workers and several club staff who did not escape and were caught. Jimmy and the others who were locked in the room on the fifth floor have also been brought back. The interrogation is not over yet.

Four people were confirmed dead at the scene of the shootout. One of the people found under the bed was confirmed by the technician to be a prostitute. They all hid under the bed after the shootout. Fortunately, only one of them was shot. The other three were security personnel. After checking their identities, two of them were determined to be gang members. The identity of the person who died on the third floor was not confirmed.

Several security personnel and staff who were shot have been sent to different hospitals, and police officers and detectives have been arranged to monitor them. At present, it seems that there is a high probability that these people will not die, which is also good news.

Several of the people arrested at the scene were gang members marked in the FBI and DEA databases. These people still need to be confirmed again to check which gang is running the club, or whether they are a joint venture. .

These were all urgently confirmed this night. More information still needs to be waited for. There are two safes in the club. They need to wait until the federal court comes to work during the day to apply for a search warrant from a judge to force open the safe and check the contents inside. Items, in short, this time Jimmy and the others came up with a huge job for the Albuquerque office of the FBI and DEA, which was enough to keep them busy.

Jimmy is actually concerned about the prostitutes. He remembers very clearly that there was a scumbag on the third floor at that time, but because the conditions were not mature, he could not do anything about it. However, if he is not allowed to intervene in the interrogation of this matter now, it will be very troublesome and he can't show it yet. It's too obvious.

The surveillance videos of him and Steven still need to be checked. These things cannot be completed in one night. Before these things are over, it is very inconvenient for Jimmy to come into contact with these people, and it is easy for others to have bad associations, especially those who Most of the people who died were caused by Jimmy.

Fortunately, as a headquarters agent, Hope had some reason to participate. In addition, he did not participate in the shootout, so some things were more convenient for him. Jimmy asked Hope to help him give the compiled interrogation records and the registration information of these people. Make a copy for yourself and take a look. Of course Hope said there is no problem.

He was still very depressed because he was not able to participate in the reconnaissance process this time. This kind of battle scene was something that agents like him had never encountered in many years. With Jimmy, a big killer, he was safe and secure, and he could still fight among many detectives. It's a pity that it's such a big limelight among the members.

After arranging everything, Jimmy returned to the hotel to wash up and rest. Steven made an appointment with Jimmy for dinner in the evening. The two had just collaborated once, so Jimmy naturally would not refuse. Anyway, they have nothing to do now.

Steven's partner Hank is also very busy now. He originally took the lead in cooperating with the FBI. Naturally, everyone must participate in the current investigation. This dinner must have nothing to do with him.

In Albuquerque, Steven's choice must be Mexican food, so in a corner shop, Jimmy and Steven chatted over beers, green chili chicken burritos and super spicy fried chicken tacos. previous actions.

Steven: "Jimmy, did you do that?"

Jimmy asked in confusion: "What?"

Steven: "That scumbag prostitute."

Jimmy: "Hey, don't talk nonsense. It has nothing to do with me. It was an accident during the gunfight. He was killed by the security guard. I just killed the security guard."

Steven: "OK, great job."

Jimmy: "How's your investigation going? That Carlos."

Steven: "Hank should have gained something. The goods found in the club should have been provided by Carlos and the others. In fact, Hank suspected that this club was not led by Carlos, but acted as a supplier. "

Jimmy: "Is there any evidence?"

Steven shook his head: "No, it's just that Carlos hasn't been around for long, and his power is not top-notch in Juarez. To manage such a big club here in Albuquerque, they can only rely on them." It definitely won't work. There must be support from local gangs and some official figures.

You have also seen the scale of that club. An underground club of this scale requires funds and connections that cannot be obtained by small gangs, and there must be appropriate people to endorse them. "

Jimmy: "Well, it's understandable. There are a lot of clubs like this in New York, but basically they are all taken over by gangs from other gangs. The ones that can really run them on their own are big gangs and the mafia."

Steven: "Yes, that's it. Even if Carlos and his friends can extend their little power to Albuquerque, it's not enough to reach this level, so they should be providing goods."

Jimmy: "Then I'll go to the FBI office and ask. I should get something out of it. By the way, how are you? Has your department done anything to you..."

Jimmy made a circular motion with his fingers. Steven shrugged, raised his beer glass and touched it with Jimmy. "I didn't kill anyone. There is video to prove it. There is nothing wrong with me, but you have to be careful." , the technician told me that there is a section in your surveillance video that only has sound but no picture, which may be a bit troublesome."

Jimmy: "It's normal for accidents to happen at gun battles. It's no problem. How is your family? Are you worried?" After chatting for a while, Jimmy's phone rang. He took a look at it and got up to pick it up. He said as he walked out. :"what happened?"

Ruiz said on the other end of the phone: "Where are you?"

Jimmy: "It's very noisy over there. I'm still in Albuquerque."

Ruiz: "Tell me where you are and I'll be there in a minute."

Jimmy: "OK, I'm having dinner with the DEA people and will go back to the hotel soon."

Jimmy reported the hotel address to Ruiz and then came back to continue. Steven didn't waste Jimmy's time too much and it was over quickly.

Ruiz arrived very quickly, which was beyond Jimmy's expectation. As an assistant detective supervisor, Ruiz still has many things to be responsible for. He made a call last night and came to Albuquerque today. It was obviously temporary. Arrangement is not easy.

After Ruiz entered, Jimmy threw a key card directly to him, "Don't worry, it's in the next room. Your name is not used."

Ruiz raised his eyebrows and said, "Thanks." After saying that, he put the key card in his pocket and sat on the sofa in the corner.

Jimmy: "Beer? This is the only one." He took half a dozen beers and put them on the small table. Jimmy also sat on the sofa next to Ruiz, "What's going on?"

Ruiz: "There is news from Seventeen. Do you still remember that Seventeen cleared a transportation channel before and intercepted a batch of goods sent by the Sinaloa Group, right?"

Jimmy nodded. At that time, he escorted Ruiz to find Seventeen. The amount of goods found that time was not small.

Usually within the United States, there are not too many goods transported each time to prevent accidents. Only when transporting from overseas to the United States, there will be large quantities of goods, usually several hundred kilograms or even tons. Those from overseas Transporting a few kilograms or ten kilograms at a time is only done by small gangs. The real drug lords disdain to engage in such small business.

Ruiz: "This incident at Shiqiu is somewhat related to the last incident. After they had an incident, the original channel was suspended for a period of time and other transportation channels were replaced. However, the transportation volume was restricted and affected a lot of people.

After Shiqi's submarine dock was opened, he quickly became famous in the underworld. Someone approached him but did not cooperate. After being introduced by a middleman in New York, Shiqi went to communicate with an important person, but he disappeared.

We found all the contact information that Shiqi left before, and checked the gangsters he had provided to use this smuggling channel before. We have basically found these people, but there is still no news about Shiqi.

The night before yesterday, the surveillance equipment we left at the submarine dock captured several people forcibly entering the storage area inside the dock. Our people rushed over and fought with them. Two people escaped and three were arrested. Their interrogation revealed that They received a message that they were notified to take over the dock. The person who notified them was a gang from Ciudad Juárez, the Steel Tyrannosaurus.

We don't have the information about Ciudad Juárez here. I got the information from an acquaintance at the DEA. Take a look. "

Ruiz handed Jimmy a folded white paper. When he opened it, there was information about a person. Victoria Serranos, a famous female tyrant in Juarez, was once an underground boxer. She was the Iron Tyrannosaurus. nickname, and later became the lover of Emilio, a leader of the Sinaloa Group.

With Emilio's support, Victoria took over a drug dealer assassination team, became the pioneer of the Sinaloa Group's entry into Juarez, and successfully gained a foothold in Juarez.

In the last two years of the Juarez drug trafficker war, Victoria has been expanding its territory, just because there are already one or two hundred large and small organizations in Juarez, and the Sinaloa Group is at war with them. The advantage is not huge, so it has not expanded much now, but according to rumors, Victoria is in charge of part of the Sinaloa Group's smuggling channels in Juarez, and is considered a big shot there.

Ruiz saw that Jimmy had probably finished reading the information and continued: "They said they got the exact information. The location of the dock was provided by Shi Qi, and they were here to take over the dock. In addition, Shi Qi's whereabouts were also confirmed. He had previously The source of the hijacked batch of Sinaloa goods was the goods of the Iron Tyrannosaurus gang in Victoria. This time, Seventeen was found by tracing the channels of previous leaks."

Jimmy: "How did they find Seventeen? This is very important. He said at the beginning that his informant was very reliable."

Ruiz curled his lips, "That batch of goods. In order to exchange for enough funds to repair the dock and the submarine, Seventeen needed a large amount of funds that could be used. After reporting, they sold that batch of goods. We speculate that they were based on that batch of goods." It’s definitely Seventeen who hijacked them.”

Jimmy's eyes narrowed. It's okay for undercover agents to be officially authorized to sell drugs. You guys are really a bit unscrupulous.

Seeing the change in Jimmy's expression, Ruiz immediately said, "Don't get excited, we didn't sell it to the local gang."

Jimmy took a deep breath. No matter what, Seventeen was his colleague. Some things did conflict with his values, but things at work should still be done.

Jimmy: "What do you want to do?"

Ruiz: "We contacted people from the DEA headquarters, and also found an expert from the CIA. They will help us investigate the information on the Iron Tyrannosaurus to find out whether there are any clues about Seventeen. We may be needed later. Conduct a joint operation with the DEA to defeat the Iron Tyrannosaurus, capture Victoria, and rescue Seventeen along the way."

Jimmy: "You are thinking too much. Juarez is in such chaos now. It is difficult to achieve so many goals in this city."

Ruiz: "Every family has their own demands. Some things can only be dealt with as best as possible. As for the result, no matter what it is, we can accept it."
