Westwood isn't dumb; he's been a senior assistant district attorney for several years and has seen all kinds of cases. It's just that now it's involving him instead of handling others' cases.
Jimmy appeared at the scene during the interrogation. Although he wasn't the main interrogator, his characteristics were too obvious. After leaving the FBI, he just asked around a little and found out who Jimmy was, and naturally knew who to find to smooth things over.
In addition to his own matters, he couldn't just ignore his brother-in-law's issues, otherwise, there'd be unrest at ho. So, decisions had to be made, and personnel had to be arranged in a short ti, likely causing him to lose quite a bit of hair.
It's unclear what exact deal Kevin made with him, but after eting with a lawyer the next day, no matter how Mark and the others interrogated him, his brother-in-law refused to ntion anyone else, insisting he grew and used it for himself with no distribution.
However, this point was difficult to make a big issue of, since the guy indeed used leaves, and his hair drug test confird this. He adamantly declared he grew and smoked it himself, just that he grew too much.
Jimmy applied for Cole's accounts to be frozen and scrutinized. Aside from the tens of thousands of US Dollars in his safe, there were dispersed amounts of hundreds of thousands across several bank accounts. Cole had no legitimate job, almost certain to have dubious sources of funds, but he refused to admit it. His neighbor was also completely unaware, since he just owned a share and took money, without being involved in cultivation and operations.
Who knows what deal Kevin and Westwood struck, but Kevin t with Jimmy afterward, and from his expression it was clear he had quite the gain, seemingly as if a windfall had just dropped from the sky.
Jimmy confird there were no issues on Kevin's end, so he let Westwood off, only proposing to verify the gift-giving actions between Westwood's family and Cole, confirming there was no monetary exchange, thus ending his investigation.
Mark and Julia had no objections to Jimmy sparing Westwood the assistant district attorney. After two more days of interrogating Cole and his neighbor, there was still no progress. They refused to reveal any upstream or downstream contacts, and the funds in Cole's account were mostly deposited by himself in batches with no record of transfers, making it difficult to trace the source of funds based on this.
The OPR also paused its investigation into Mark because of now-revealed facts that the complainant discovered Mark's illegal marijuana cultivation. They won't summon Mark for questioning before the investigation is complete.
Jimmy and Ruiz discussed the case and finally decided to conclude it. The gifts exchanged between Cole and his sister and brother-in-law were not significant in amount and involved no financial transactions, so he wasn't implicated.
With the case concluded, they contacted the Federation Prosecutor's Office to file charges for Cole and his neighbor regarding the illegal marijuana cultivation. The Federation Prosecutor's Office will next arrange for soone to continue handling the case, with Mark and Julia assisting in completing the trial.
Case closed, Jimmy has Mark revisit the OPR, ending this complaint with just a verbal warning for Mark, restoring peace.
The remaining case is the unresolved murder. The victim's family had already co to New York, but the FBI had no clues whatsoever. Jimmy could only co forward to console them, even if it ant getting an earful. In fact, even the victim's family didn't know her acquaintances and friends, making it hard to find a suspect.
Ultimately, the victim's family could only resign to fate, taking the child back for burial after cremation, waiting to see if the FBI might provide any feedback in the future.
To Jimmy, having to face the families of deceased victims happened many tis before. Although there's helplessness, every ti requires gentle persuasion and comfort, leaving him in a poor mood. Therefore, when dealing with heinous criminals, Jimmy has never shown much leniency unless there's a special reason.
In fact, the majority of FBI agents recognize Jimmy's approach, though not everyone can bear such a cost. Also, heinous criminals tend to be more violent, leaving many agents sowhat underpowered to even protect themselves.
FBI agent fatalities are not nurous yearly, but injuries are plenty, and the overall case-solving rate isn't high since they handle so many case types, leading to little focus on the clearance rate of any single type.
Both Mark and Julia were the sa, present while Jimmy consoled the victim's family, witnessing the helpless sobbing scene was distressful for everyone, and being directly involved in the case, Jimmy shouldering the burden of comforting them was to relieve so pressure for them. Without soone like Jimmy with a broad heart, people might beco depressed doing such work continually.
While Jimmy was busy, Nia and the others weren't idle either. After initially confirming the missing university students, subsequent investigations were not smooth. Coordinating with local police only yielded limited support from one or two detectives. For missing persons investigations, most local police responses were similar unless it involves a high-profile child disappearance or abduction event triggering an Amber Alert.
