North America Gunman Detective

Ruiz is well-informed over there, and the news from the 911 emergency center reached him within a few hours. There must be someone from NYPD tipping him off, and they even recognized the identity of the deceased gang member.

Jimmy looked at the time, continued making breakfast, and when Nia finished washing up and changing clothes, Jimmy discussed the case Ruiz mentioned while eating breakfast with Nia.

Nia: "Is this person related to your case?"

Jimmy: "Yes, it's someone from the same mafia family as the victim of the previous arson and murder case."

Nia: "Then I'll go to the police station to help you check it out."

Jimmy: "I'll go with you, and meanwhile, I'll check with the officer on duty last night about the situation at the crime scene."

After breakfast, Jimmy and Nia filled their travel mugs with coffee and left the apartment.

The office coffee is pretty bad, considering morning coffee demands, a travel mug is perfect for professionals like Jimmy, especially when they need to go out, it's really convenient to place it in the car.

A travel mug not only keeps water hot, but can also be used with ice cubes and cold drinks when needed, offering excellent cooling effect.

With Nia's help contacting the people at the police station, Jimmy quickly got the phone number of the officer who handled the case in the early hours. Since he was off duty, they directly called to confirm the crime scene and the identity of the deceased gang member.

Jimmy left the police station, didn't return to the office, but instead called Louis, arranging to meet for a chat. Since he noticed Louis had kids at home on his last visit, he thought it was best not to discuss these things there, even though finding him at home would be more convenient.

At an open car park, Jimmy stood beside the car, Louis walked over from the junction, and behind the corner, someone stopped following him, not showing themselves.

Jimmy: "Louis, what are you all up to?"

Louis, with a cold expression, looked at Jimmy, didn't answer him, instead said directly: "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not your subordinate, stop calling me, I'm not your informant either."

Jimmy looked at Louis: "Your business doesn't concern me. What I want to know is, is what happened in the early hours related to my murder case? You barely have soldiers under you anymore, two are already dead."

Louis took a couple deep breaths, kept quiet and didn't answer Jimmy's question.

Jimmy: "Not saying anything? Do you want Ruiz to visit you personally?"

Ruiz is the head of the organized crime investigation unit. As a Mafia family, they must know this. If he doesn't know who Ruiz is, Jimmy would have to consider whether this person qualifies as a Mafia member at all.

Louis looked at Jimmy for a while, then spoke: "That matter has nothing to do with you."

After saying this, he turned to leave, Jimmy watched Louis disappear around the corner, and the person who hadn't shown up followed Louis, then Jimmy got into his car and drove back to the office.

Louis's attitude was not unexpected; after all, he was a Mafia member, and couldn't entirely cooperate with Jimmy, especially since someone died from their actions. If investigated further, who knows what problems might arise.

Previously, he had always collaborated with Jimmy partly because Jimmy had a reputation one shouldn't provoke without a special reason. Also, he hoped to claim the bodies of his associates promptly and arrange a fairly solemn funeral, something a leader should do.

What Jimmy needed was just confirmation of whether it was related to his case, because Louis should know his members. If a grudge led to murder, arson, and corpse burning, he might think of who could do such things.

Jimmy's biggest concern was if they identify the clues and act on their vengeance themselves, which would leave him with an uncloseable unsolved case on his end.

Back at the office, Jimmy went to Ruiz's side, took the Rotariano Family data from him, and returned to his office to re-investigate everyone in the data.

Without other clues, finding clues among the gang members is the most stable approach, especially Louis, Marco's superior. After figuring out his intelligence and relationships, it would be convenient to communicate with him in the future.

Jimmy had an appointment tonight, Peter invited him to visit his home. For such a visit, it was clear Jimmy needed to bring Nia along, and he had already told her; after work, he would pick her up to attend together.

Jimmy and Nia arrived at Peter's door, rang the bell, Peter got up from the sofa to open the door, "Hi, Jimmy, Nia."

Jimmy handed the wine to Peter, greeted each other, and they went inside.

Elizabeth came out from the kitchen to greet them, took off her gloves and hugged Nia, "Sit for a while, I'll be done soon."

Jimmy and Nia arrived a bit early, so Elizabeth was busy in the kitchen for a while.

Peter and Jimmy chatted in the living room, and also mentioned the reason for this dinner invitation. He had agreed to Bruce's invitation from the DC headquarters and would head to Washington, D.C with Elizabeth in three weeks.

At dinner time, for Jimmy as a believer, Peter and his family conducted a prayer before the meal, which surprised Jimmy a little as he hadn't visited a church in a long time and often didn't think about it.
