After confirming with Federation Prosecutor Adam Maxwell, Black Wolf had nothing to hide regarding Jimmy's questions. He explained the situation of the bar and his investigation.
For his investigation into Joseph and Daniel, these veterans, Black Wolf's explanation was convincing enough for Jimmy and the others.
Because these people's combat capabilities are far stronger than ordinary people. Even as a gang, Black Wolf and his crew are just ordinary people. If these rabid dogs want to make trouble for them for so reason, they absolutely can't withstand these veterans, especially since they are quite united in certain situations.
Black Wolf was already well acquainted with so people over at the VA because there are just too many people with various psychological traumas. These people are naturally his clients, and to seize this resource, he didn't hesitate to use so illegal ans, which, of course, brought him satisfactory returns.
His nickna was gained a few years ago when he secured the VA connection. For a low-level gang mber to get the nickna with a "wolf" suffix, he was undoubtedly extraordinary, but he has yet to rise up because there are no vacancies above him, and he's not qualified enough to start his own team.
Jimmy glanced at Julia, "Did you get it?"
Julia nodded. Her shorthand skills were quite good; although they spoke quickly earlier, the key information was still easy to extract.
Jimmy looked at Adam, "Adam, let's talk outside. Black Wolf, Louis Hernandez, I hope you aren't lying to ."
After speaking, Jimmy didn't wait for Black Wolf's reply and left the hospital room, telling the agent at the door: "Keep an eye on him. Before we finish our case, he'll probably stay here and won't be sent to the detention center."
The agent nodded: "I understand. We'll keep watch in shifts."
Jimmy took Adam and Julia to Mark's hospital room, "Adam, sorry this case got you involved as well."
Adam waved his hand, "I understand the importance of this case. It's okay; it's just a deal. Sooner or later, he'll fall into my hands. Right, Jimmy?"
Jimmy smiled slightly and shook hands with Adam: "God is watching everyone. This case is troubleso; I'll handle it and submit as soon as possible. Goodbye, Adam."
Adam: "Goodbye."
After Adam left, Jimmy and Julia entered Mark's hospital room. Mark was already up and moving around the room, "How's it going, Mark?"
Mark: "Still okay. No issue with the body, just that the wound occasionally hurts. How's your investigation going?"
Jimmy: "Sorry, Mark, I made a deal with Black Wolf."
Mark was stunned for a mont, then quickly relaxed, "It's okay. I understand what you an. Can I continue to be involved in the case?"
Jimmy: "Your head... better rest for now. If the doctor allows, you can go back to rest."
Mark: "I'm fine. Currently, there are no signs of dizziness or concussion."
Jimmy: "No, it's not convenient for you to go on field duty now. Rest for a while. It's an order."
Mark: "Understood, I will confirm with the doctor. If I can leave, I will go back to rest."
Jimmy nodded and left the hospital with Julia, heading straight to the Sea Eagle Bar.
The Sea Eagle Bar is not an underground bar. Julia described the bar's situation to Jimmy in the car. This bar has been registered for over ten years, which is quite long-lived for a bar. The owner, Michael Rice, opened this bar after retiring. Its main clients are local residents and veterans since it's very close to a VA office, making it quite famous within the community.
Jimmy: "Is this information registered in the system?"
Julia: "That's right. This bar had multiple police reports in the past due to fights and shootings prompting neighbors and passersby to call the police. There's a warning mark in the system, but all these reports were handled by the NYPD, and we don't have detailed case records here."
Jimmy: "Veterans, alcohol, contraband, firearms—these factors appear in a bar, which is understandable. Everyone has monts of impulsiveness. Let's take a look first; you put on a bullet-proof vest."
Julia was looking at her notepad. Hearing about wearing a bullet-proof vest, she was surprised and looked at Jimmy: "We're just going to investigate a bit."
Jimmy: "For safety's sake, wear it. It won't show under your jacket."
Julia: "I understand. Stop by when we get close so I can get the bullet-proof vest from the trunk."
Jimmy felt uneasy since one of his subordinates had already been injured. He couldn't risk anything happening to the remaining Julia. Although this seed a bit excessive, an extra layer of protection ant an extra layer of safety.
On arrival at the bar's location, it was, as expected, still closed. Jimmy said to Julia: "Julia, call the old Sea Eagle and ask him when he can co over."
Julia took out her phone, called, stated her identity, and quickly hung up: "The bar's service ti is until 2 AM, so they are still off now and will be back after 3 PM."
Jimmy thought for a mont, "Let's go back first. You go to the NYPD to retrieve surveillance footage of the area leading up to the bar."
In the afternoon, Jimmy and Julia returned to the bar. Although they were a bit early, the bar's door was already open. They looked around before Jimmy and Julia pushed the door in.
Michael Rice was already in the bar. He stood behind the bar counter, tidying up glasses. Seeing Jimmy and Julia walk in, he smiled and asked, "You must be Agent Julia Lee? Welco. Is there anything I can help you with?"
