Jimmy and Mark were drinking coffee by the roadside, waiting. After Julia returned, the three went upstairs to Oliver Morgan's apartnt. Just as they were about to open the door, Jimmy reached out to stop Julia: "Put on gloves."
Mark and Julia imdiately stopped, and both took out disposable gloves and put them on at the doorway. Jimmy, of course, did the sa, "Open the door."
After opening the door, Jimmy and the others imdiately halted. The room had already been searched over; soone had been here ahead of them.
Jimmy: "Call the forensic departnt over. You two wait here for them and check together. Focus on fingerprints in various places in the room; exclude Oliver's and check the rest. Also, inquire with the neighbors around to see if anyone entered this room in the past couple of days or if they've seen any strangers around."
Mark: "OK, we will keep an eye on it."
Jimmy took off his gloves and turned to leave the apartnt. Having been searched once, there was basically nothing left to check. Jimmy had looked around too; there was no hidden space found in this apartnt. As for ordinary areas, the forensic personnel definitely wouldn't miss anything.
Jimmy was driving while phoning Mahong, arranging to et at the office once his investigation was about done to cross-check each other's clues.
As things stand now, Jimmy's side clearly deals with a shooting case that belongs to minor stuff, an incidental consequence of Mahong's robbery case. As he had guessed before, killing Oliver was purely to prevent any information about the robbers from leaking through him. They killed Oliver in advance, likely fearing they wouldn't have the chance after the robbery if anyone started watching Oliver.
The puzzling point now, besides Oliver having a fake passport, is why soone would break into his apartnt searching for sothing. Furthermore, this wasn't done by breaking the lock but entering normally and locking the door afterward, which is quite perplexing.
Jimmy returned to the office and, after Mahong and the others ca back, took the fake passport to Mahong's office, "Mahong, where's your consultant? I didn't see him at his post when I ca."
Mahong: "Today's investigation is over; he's already gone back. What's up?"
Jimmy: "I have a fake passport here. I need his help to identify it. I know he has so special friends."
Mahong: "If you can wait, it's tomorrow; otherwise, find him yourself, you know where he is."
Jimmy nodded, putting the fake passport into his pocket, "How's your investigation going?"
Mahong: "Confird, the security guard was replaced. Based on the data, we found him, but regrettably, he's already dead. I've issued an ergency all-points bulletin to the NYPD for that security guard. We presently have his looks confird: Latino, dium short black hair, no glasses, dium build."
Jimmy updated Mahong briefly about his investigation. Mahong also agreed with Jimmy's speculation, that this robbery case is the central line. Oliver's and the security guard's murders are rely to wipe out potential information exposure; looking at it now, neither deceased appears to have been accomplices of the robbers.
After leaving Mahong's office, Jimmy called Mark and Julia, notifying them that the next morning all three will head to New Jersey to check Oliver's ho, as he had brought his family to New York. He must have gone back himself, and if he indeed wanted to hide anything, likely it wouldn't be at his New York apartnt, but rather taken back ho.
Jimmy glanced at the ti and directly skipped work, driving to where Neil lives. Watching the mansion before him, Jimmy genuinely felt Neil was incredibly impressive. How on earth did he manage to live in such a place for three or four years without any family ties?
Neil was utterly unprepared for Jimmy's arrival; his expression of surprise was no bluff. Before entering, Jimmy saw another person inside — judging by the silhouette, it seed to be a woman who was already hiding in the cloakroom, which was no issue.
Jimmy: "Neil, I need your help. I know you have so friends, help authenticate where this passport ca from."
Neil hesitated a bit, reaching out to take the bag, as the passport was sealed inside; it's evidence and shouldn't be directly shown to him. He glanced at it, "Gloves."
Jimmy took out his disposable gloves from his pocket and handed them over. Neil opened the sealed bag and inspected the passport, shaking his head, "The quality is very poor; this kind of passport lots of people could make it."
Jimmy: "Then help verify the identity information inside, see who sent this out. It relates to the case Mahong is following up on."
Neil placed the passport back into the bag, glanced towards the cloakroom's direction beside him, then turned back to Jimmy and nodded, "I'll give it a try."
Jimmy nodded, turned to leave when Neil suddenly called him: "Yang, thank you."
Jimmy stopped, paused for a mont, waved his hand without turning back, and left quietly, leaving the evidence — the fake passport — with Neil.
Jimmy understood what Neil ant; since Peter's case ended, Jimmy hadn't t Neil alone again. Neil's thanks were certainly for Peter and his fugitive father.
Although it was Neil who forged the audio evidence to help Peter get out of trouble, Jimmy was the real powerhouse behind the event; they both knew this well.
The next day, after gathering at the office, Jimmy and the others set out together. With Jimmy in front and Mark and Julia behind, the two cars moved together towards Newark.
Riley Butler, the Newark agent, upon receiving Jimmy and company, led them to Oliver Morgan's suburban ho. It had a front and back garden, with a small pool in the back garden, though due to the season there hadn't been water for so ti.
Jimmy and the others took out keys to unlock the door and entered the house along with the forensic staff brought by Agent Riley to start searching for anomalies.
Jimmy and the others only consisted of three, and definitely needed the manpower from Newark office to conduct the search.
While checking the room, Riley's phone rang. He answered and quickly shouted: "Jimmy, soone outside is watching this place, and they're being pursued by our agents."
Jimmy quickly ran out of the house, "Mark, you continue checking."
Riley also ran out, and the two jumped into two cars to chase, Riley dialed to inform Jimmy after starting the engine, "The watcher is fleeing on a motorcycle; our people are tailing him, just one person on one vehicle. Since we entered the room, he's been watching us with binoculars."
Soon, Jimmy caught sight of the fleeing motorcycle ahead, followed closely by a Suburban. Perhaps due to that Suburban not having modified, concealed police lights, it simply tailed the motorbike.
Both of Jimmy's and Riley's cars were flashing sirens with signals, speeding along the road intensely, soon overtaking the Suburban, but they couldn't directly PIT the motorcycle, so they had to keep following.
The person ahead wore leather clothing, with a helt on, making his appearance totally indiscernible. The shape from the back, though, moderately confird it was a male.
Before long, a New Jersey State Police car joined the chase, and Riley called Jimmy to inform them to let the State Police take the lead position; they could only follow behind.
Through highways and residential areas, the pursuit lasted over half an hour. Jimmy and company finally caught the motorcyclist making one mistake, forcing the vehicle off-road during the chase, losing control and falling on the grass.
Successfully capturing the motorcyclist, Riley cuffed him, tossed him into the Suburban, and bid farewell to the State Police before leaving. As for the motorcycle, the State Police would arrange a tow truck to deliver it to the FBI Newark office — they're their people, and certainly their responsibility to handle.
