Chapter 507 Working all night
The living environment of New Yorkers is unimaginable to Los Angeles residents like Jack. Each of these low-cost townhouse apartment buildings built of brownstone or red brick at the end of the last century has experienced at least a hundred years of wind and rain.
When Jack stepped on the broken bricks and rubble and walked into the collapsed site that had been razed to the ground, the rescue work was coming to an end and there was really nothing left to save. As the saying goes, no eggs are left intact after a nest is overturned. Except for a few lucky ones, most of them People were crushed into the ruins.
Unlike building collapses usually caused by earthquakes or other reasons, it is almost impossible for survivors to survive in this type of collapse caused by explosions. Every floor slab fell into pieces, and there was no room for survivors to stay. .
It was obviously originally a 6-story apartment building. After the collapse, most of the building materials were smashed into the original basement. As a result, the surrounding ruins were not too high above the ground. After bypassing a part of the outside near the edge of the road, After the wall, the rest is even below the surface.
Several K9 agents were shuttled through the ruins. They were not looking for survivors, but for possible unexploded objects. Mike Taylor's researchers had also started working. They were wearing white protective clothing and dustproof clothing. Mask, rummaging for any useful clues.
"Did you find anything?" Jack walked to the central area where the explosion occurred based on his own impression. It was on the right side of the corridor near the middle entrance of the apartment, which is what the apartment manager said. Felton Ames' residence.
Now this room has changed from the original 3D to 2D. It is still covered with several cracked floors and the body is in pieces. But with luck, you may be able to find something useful.
Although Jack has unintentionally lived like Conan, it turns out that if you hang out with the boss and enjoy the halo of the protagonist, your luck will not be too bad.
"I found a foot and a length of red silk trousers."
A tall female researcher looked up at Mike Taylor and Jack behind him, pointed to an overturned half of the sofa and said, "Two handsome gentlemen, would you like to help?"
"It's a great honor, Jack Tavole, FBI." Jack shook hands with her. Although his face couldn't be seen clearly, judging from the familiarity between her and Mike Taylor, the relationship should be quite close.
"Oh, are you new here? It seems that your first impression of this city is not very good, Stella Bonacilla, Mike's assistant." This eldest sister really even said the same thing as Mike when they first met. Taylor is very similar.
Jack and Mike Taylor moved to the left and right, and without too much effort, they turned half of the sofa aside, revealing a complete thigh underneath.
"Looks like he's part Felton Ames. The apartment manager says he always wears a slutty red silk suit."
Jack watched Mike Taylor squat down, take out a pair of scissors from his tool bag, and carefully cut open the pants that almost melted with his skin.
"What is that? A mobile phone?" Jack couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that it was still an old-fashioned button phone similar to Nokia.
"Yes, it's embedded in the flesh. Stella, give me an evidence bag." Mike Taylor put the remains of the mobile phone in it.
"Is there still a chance to get the information inside?" Jack asked.
"It depends on luck, the chance is great." Mike Taylor handed the evidence bag to Stella Bonacilla, "Send it directly to the laboratory and ask them to process it first."
"Notify me as soon as you find any trouble." Jack exchanged contact information with him. This kind of gang members checking their mobile phone numbers are destined to have no results. The cheap mobile phone they carry with them is the most useful clue right now. .
By the time Jack left the scene, the lights were on and he called Alexis to confirm that her grandmother had driven to pick her up. He went to the parking lot to pick up the car and drove directly to Rosie's apartment. .
Dana Moger had already returned to the office first. Before leaving, she told him to go back and change clothes and then report.
Compared with the new leader's style of killing people when they catch them, Rosie, the old leader, is much cuter. When Jack dragged two suitcases, walked out of the private elevator, and opened the door, he was instantly hit by a wave of Injured by pride.
The duplex structure adds up to more than 300 square meters, with a modern decoration style mainly in light colors, a full range of household appliances, and even the large range hood above the open kitchen that looks newly installed and the same brand new double door. refrigerator.
Jack's originally not-so-beautiful mood suddenly rose. If Rosie appeared in front of him at this time, he could not wait to hug this cute old man and kiss him hard.
You must know that this is Manhattan, where every inch of land is at a premium. A pigeon cage of more than ten square meters can command a rent of two to three thousand dollars a month in a prime location.
The current monthly rent for this apartment is estimated to be at least 15,000 U.S. dollars. If Jack were to pay for it himself, it would not be enough to cover all his monthly salary from the FBI.
But now was obviously not a good time to visit the apartment. Jack didn't even bother to pack his luggage, dug out a suit, took a shower and hurried out.
The FBI office in New York is located in the 26th Federal Building in Federal Plaza, Manhattan, where numerous federal agencies, the Immigration Service, the Department of Commerce, etc. are gathered together.
The FBI occupied one of the floors alone. When Jack used his ID to pass through the security, took the elevator to the front desk and identified himself, not long after, he saw a burly middle-aged man wearing only a shirt walking towards him quickly. Come.
"Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Jubal Valentine, welcome. Senior Agent Jack Tavole. I'm sorry that due to the unfortunate events that occurred today, I didn't have time to give you a welcome meeting."
Jubal Valentine's face looked ugly. Of course Jack knew that this was not directed at him. Although the FBI agents in charge of criminal cases were indeed very risky, losing two people at once was extremely rare for the New York office. some.
"I'm sorry about the two agents Maggie Bell and Omar Adom Zidan." To be honest, Jack was still feeling a little uneasy at this time.
Although the sacrifice of these two agents was somewhat unexpected, God knows if someone would blame it on him and privately give him a name such as "Sangmen Star". After all, superstition is not something that a Seris person would do. unique.
"I have learned about the situation at the scene, and you have tried your best. We have just recovered all the mobile phone videos taken by passers-by at the scene. Your heroic performance is admirable."
Jubal Valentine spoke very fast and his acting style was concise and sharp. He quickly led Jack into a large office and high-fived him to attract the attention of all the busy agents inside.
The large office is full of long desks without partitions, facing each other, with at least 6 workstations in a row. They are filled with computers and telephones. At this time, they are almost full of people.
This should be a permanent combat support room. Most of the people inside are wearing casual clothes. Jack guessed that these people are intelligence analysts mainly working in the back office.
"A brief introduction, Senior Agent Jack Tavole, a new colleague from the BAU, who will be involved in the next investigation."
Before anyone could react, Jubal Valentine waved his hand and pointed at the screen in front of the big office, "Let us continue to focus on the current case. The death of two field agents Bell and Zidan is sad. We must do something immediately." Counterattack.
Two bombs, and both were detonated successfully, which means the suspect's purpose is clear, so the first thing we have to consider is the terrorist threat. Jenny, tell me the situation. "
A female analyst stood up and faced everyone, "NSA, CIA, and DHS have not found any threat information on the network in the past 72 hours, and the same was true after the explosion."
Jubal Valentine waved his hand and motioned for everyone to look at the big screen facing everyone, "Very good, if it was a terrorist organization, then they should have issued a statement long ago, so I prefer that Agent Jack be at the scene Got this information."
Before he finished speaking, a photo of a haggard young black man appeared on the screen, "Someone attacked a gang member named Felton Ames, who is believed to be a member of the McBara family."
After speaking, Jubal Valentine pointed to a middle-aged white man with a visitor's card on his chest. This man looked about the same age as him and also had a strong physique.
"Danny, can the NYPD brief you on the situation?"
