North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 758 Arresting people

Jimmy has new suspicious clues, and Mark and Wright are not idle either. They have quickly reviewed the dock surveillance video between the yacht's entry and departure, recording the time points of people entering and exiting the dock and activities at the dock. , and how many people appeared. After that, it is necessary to accurately intercept the necessary images from the surveillance video to analyze the personnel and materials.

This small island had just experienced a party before the accident, and there were still a lot of people coming and going. Even if the port only had three berths, it was not easy to record the people and time points. In the kind of movie, you can directly pause on the surveillance camera to do a scene. It is basically impossible to locate the target person just by taking a screenshot. All people need to be identified, and the workload is very large.

However, after pre-processing and recording the video by two agents, Mark and Wright, it will be easier to locate the specific location and let people identify it, which can save a lot of time, which is extremely useful for the housekeepers and security personnel on the island. Greatly reduce their workload.

The clues obtained by Jimmy are also very important, but it has been four or five days. On such a small island, if you want to know which direction the people who climbed up went, what traces they left, whether there are any footprints or other clues, It's difficult. The simplest and most convenient thing is to view all the surveillance videos as requested by Jimmy.

Rich people are different. Although this island is not large, as a wealthy person who attaches great importance to privacy, in addition to his own villas and docks, some surveillance probes are also installed in other locations. This directly led to Jimmy seeing the number of surveillance cameras. After that, he immediately decided to call in support personnel. It would take too long to complete all the inspections with just the three of them. He also had to investigate the most important thing on the island, so he couldn't waste all his time here.

The personnel arrangement must have been contacted by Agent Wright. To be on the safe side, Jimmy asked him to call two or three technicians over with portable workstations, which could directly enhance the video picture, making it easier for them to identify the person behind the surveillance picture.

The security captain left directly when he accompanied Jimmy back to the villa area. He needed to inform the housekeeper about what was going on here, as well as Jimmy's request for all surveillance, and he also needed the housekeeper to communicate with the hostess. These matters were not something he could decide.

Jimmy took a look on the way and saw that the people in the basement were still moving around freely, but they did not come out, which meant that their scope of activities should be in the basement. Maybe it was because Jimmy and the FBI came over that they were banned. Of course, it was also possible that they I couldn't come out in the first place, but it's a pity that Jimmy can't get through now in the main building.

In the private cinema room of the villa, Wright connected his laptop to the projector, and a magnified picture appeared on the screen. Jimmy, the housekeeper, and the security captain were all sitting on the sofa, watching the played surveillance footage. According to the time marked by Wright and Mark, Click to pause the video, and the two of them will identify the people who appear in the surveillance video. Mark and Wright record the information of the people who appear in each picture.

Jimmy had not watched all the surveillance before, so it was mainly handled by Mark and Wright. However, when he saw an accelerating picture, Jimmy noticed something abnormal, and he immediately shouted: "Pause! Slowly back up!" Slow down a little, then go back...OK, play in slow speed."

Jimmy directed Wright to adjust the picture bit by bit, and soon saw where he wanted to look, "Look here, there were three people delivering things to the boat just now, but in this picture there are only two people leaving the yacht, one person is missing. Record. Time, keep playing.”

Jimmy and the others came to the door, and the butler softly explained the reason for the hostess's refusal. The identities of the people attending the banquet were relatively sensitive, and they definitely did not want to appear in front of the FBI.

Because the people who delivered the goods on the boat were not together each time, and the return time was also different. Maybe they didn't notice it when they watched the video before, but there was indeed one person who spent a lot of time on the yacht, more time than the others. It took more than ten minutes to leave the yacht.

Jimmy took a look and walked directly to the main building of the villa complex. He found the housekeeper and showed him a search warrant. At this time, it was not a matter of their consent. Moreover, because of the search warrant, they could directly obtain the original surveillance video without having to ask them to do so. Transcribe, and if the video is lost, Jimmy and the others can directly arrest people by destroying or forging evidence.

Agent Wright was obviously familiar with them. After greeting each other, one of the agents took out the search warrant from his bag and handed it to Jimmy.

This is already the third day of surveillance video. They had fast-forwarded the video for two consecutive days. They were already very nervous. It was inevitable that some overlooked details would be ignored, but Jimmy watched it with the housekeeper and the security captain. How did he remember that the man had not left the yacht?

Wright looked at Jimmy in surprise. Just by observing the surveillance for the first time, he could discover details that neither he nor Mark noticed. This kind of observation ability and memory are a bit scary.

When the housekeeper was not paying attention, Jimmy asked for a phone call from Agent Wright, and directly communicated the results of the current investigation to the people in the Miami office, who then applied for a search warrant and requested all surveillance videos here. This process It's complete, and the search warrant will be brought over later with the supporting agents.

Jimmy: "OK, record the time. I need monitoring of all other places before and after this time node."

Butler: "Agent, please take a step to speak."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed. He had already communicated with the hostess before, but she refused to provide all surveillance videos due to some confidentiality reasons.

Although this is a bit unkind, Jimmy has no choice but to catch the murderer of the bombing. The main reason is that other surveillance information can be used to confirm his previous guesses. Since those girls were sent to this island before, then This kind of banquet will definitely leave some traces when receiving other distinguished guests or the host acts on his own.

The housekeeper frowned and looked at the screen. Due to the problem of surveillance clarity, they couldn't actually see the person's face clearly. However, in many cases, they can directly determine the person based on characteristics such as body shape, face shape, and hairstyle. After all, they are all The people here are very familiar to them, but the person in the picture seems familiar, but he is not one of them. He is just wearing a security guard's suit.

He looked at the security captain, who shook his head, "They are not our people. There was a banquet that day, and our people were all scattered on the island..."

Jimmy took out his cigarette case and lit his eyes, then stood at the door and looked at the scenery in the distance. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Let's investigate the current clues first."

Jimmy looked at the butler and frowned, nodded and got up and walked out of the private theater with him. Wright paused the video and would definitely wait for everyone to gather before talking.

In fact, Jimmy completely underestimated the importance of this case. Just a few hours after he made the call, a ship arrived at the dock in the evening. Three technicians and five supporting agents were all in place, and carried With various professional equipment, this support is already very strong support for the Miami office.

Based on the clues Jimmy has investigated so far, there is definitely no problem in applying for a search warrant. In addition, after the support agents come over, they can technically enhance the surveillance footage. Although it will be slightly distorted, it will still be no problem as a clue for further investigation.

I took a break and had something to eat, and then I had to re-confirm again before it was over.

Throwing away the cigarette butts, they continued to check the dock surveillance, focusing on finding the person they just discovered, but they did not see him again until the yacht left.

Wright quickly played back the next piece of surveillance and found the scene of the man leaving the yacht, "Who is this man?"

The housekeeper didn't expect Jimmy to move so quickly. He didn't seem so anxious when communicating before. Who would have known that he would even get the search warrant just a few hours later.

As for whether the search warrant is genuine, there is no need to question it. If the FBI comes up with a fake search warrant in such a big case, the unlucky ones will definitely not be the housekeeper and the others.

Finally came the most critical moment, even though it was already night, Jimmy still did not let others rest, and set up a temporary office in a large room, where everyone was conducting investigations. There are a lot of surveillance videos here, and multiple copies of the surveillance videos were directly copied to others. Everyone must participate in the investigation. As for the three technicians, they have already begun to enhance the previous surveillance videos.

Jimmy didn't check the surveillance completely. The information he needed to find was different from others. He just dragged the video and quickly found his target.

Jimmy: "Two of you, go bring the butler over, now."

The two agents next to him took a look, paused their videos, got up and left the room.

The butler's expression looked calm, and he didn't complain about being called over so late at night. Jimmy didn't say anything and just asked him to look at his computer, "Who are these women?"

Butler: "They are just escorts arranged by some brokerage companies, not from us."

Jimmy: "This, and this," Jimmy pointed at the two girls in the video, and changed the video again to point out one of them, "and this, these people don't seem to be adults."

The housekeeper was a little confused, "Well, these people were arranged by others. I didn't check their age and identity."

Jimmy: "Where are they? They appeared at the same time as the suspected bomb suspect."

The housekeeper was silent, and Jimmy continued to ask: "I now suspect that they are related to the suspect, and I need to know their whereabouts. Please!"

The agents next to him also knew that something was going on and stood directly behind the housekeeper from the side. One of the agents even put his hand on the handle of his gun.

The housekeeper turned his head and glanced, then looked at Jimmy: "They are still here."

Jimmy raised his voice: "You said before that only you service and management staff are here, are you sure?"

The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, they are in another building."

Jimmy stared at the butler for a few seconds, then raised his voice: "Everyone pause, let's go together."

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Jimmy and his group came to the main building. The housekeeper took out the key from his body and opened the two basement doors. Jimmy, who was walking in the front, immediately took two steps back.

The smell coming out of the basement was not very pleasant. It was a mixture of various perfumes and other terrible smells that rushed out. People with a sensitive sense of smell like Jimmy really didn't like it.

Jimmy waved his hand: "Go down and have a look."

The two closest agents pulled out their pistols and walked slowly down. A female voice screamed directly from below. The two agents shouted directly: "FBI, be quiet, don't move."

The detectives behind him also went down, but Jimmy stayed on top and soon brought out a group of women from two basements.

Jimmy looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and had a headache. He had previously observed that there were many people below, but when all these women appeared in front of him, he really regretted not asking the Miami office to arrange for a few female agents to come over.

The most conspicuous among these women are four slightly shorter girls. Just by looking at them, you can tell that they are certainly young, but they are all beautiful. Moreover, although these people are all in the basement, their clothing and appearance are obviously not imprisoned. It looks like he is at home.

A detective came to Jimmy, covered his mouth with his hand and said in his ear: "These people seem to live in the basement. There are bathrooms and toilets there, as well as dressing tables and beds. In addition, ventilation pipes were found in the basement. Except there are no windows, it’s just like a regular dormitory.”

Jimmy nodded and whispered: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's get started."

There were too many people, so Jimmy and the others could only question these people separately. Each woman made sure that at least two agents were present to prevent accidents. They had been busy for several hours before registering all the information of everyone.

After a busy night, Jimmy and the others were very excited. They really caught a big fish this time. Except for the twelve women who were signed by the agency to serve here for two weeks, the sources of several other women had problems.

Some were caught smuggling and bought and sent here, while others were kidnapped and sent here. One of the four underage girls is even a U.S. citizen and has been kidnapped and sent here for several months.

Jimmy clapped his hands and called everyone over: "OK, everyone is under control, including the servants and security guards, disarm them, contact the Miami office, I need more people to come and investigate. Block the dock and prohibit people here from leaving. "

The agents all drew their pistols and first put the women in the room and closed the door. Then they separated into groups of two to arrest the others. For a while, the whole villa screamed and was in complete chaos.

Jimmy did not participate in the arrest. He took Mark directly out of the villa and ran to the dock. The only way to leave here was to take a boat. As long as he controlled this place, the only thing left was to catch a turtle in a jar.
