Gordon didn't keep Jimmy waiting long; about half an hour later, Gordon called back. Joseph Yang had been arrested at Abdul's warehouse. Joseph Yang had the key to that warehouse, which was a clear clue and one of the reasons for the arrest that could be included in the report.
The car driven by Joseph was towed to the FBI evidence warehouse by the surveillance team, where it would undergo a thorough investigation. Personnel from the forensics department were also arranged to go to Joseph's apartment. Everything there would be thoroughly investigated.
The car belonging to Abdul, which had previously been towed to the police parking lot, had also been taken to the FBI's evidence warehouse. Leaving direct evidence in a police parking lot was very insecure; it would be troublesome if someone towed it away and destroyed it. And the car that NYPD had wrecked, which belonged to Jimmy, had already been collected and repaired by them, but it was unknown who it would be assigned to afterward.
Joseph Yang was not brought to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau but was first taken to the Manhattan office for interrogation.
Jimmy had planned to return to the bureau, but Gordon refused him. He still needed Jimmy to relay messages. Any clues obtained from Joseph needed to be urgently investigated by the Anti-Terrorism Bureau here, which didn't require going through FBI procedures, making it much more convenient.
Jimmy returned to the command center; Noah was still standing there, having not left. From the looks of it, he had been standing there for half an hour. The old man's stamina was impressive.
Jimmy: "Mr. Watson, Joseph Yang has been arrested. He went to Abdul's warehouse and had the key for that warehouse. Gordon and his team took action."
Noah turned to face Jimmy: "Bring him here; we need to urgently interrogate him here."
Jimmy: "They've gone to Federal Square now. Any clues from the interrogation will be provided over there."
Noah squinted his eyes, "Bring him here; our people are more suited for the interrogation. Kerry, contact the Manhattan office."
Before Jimmy could object, Kerry had already taken out his phone and stepped out of the command center. Jimmy watched Noah, who had turned away, feeling that something was not quite right. Noah hadn't seemed so concerned about the explosion case before. Why did it seem that he was particularly keen on it now?
Currently, the only clue was the arrested Joseph Yang. There were no other leads at the moment. It seemed there wasn't much to do in the command center; suddenly, Jimmy had a small idea. Hughes had previously said at all costs, and it seemed, maybe there was something he could do.
He turned and left the command center. After returning to the conference room, he immediately called Ruiz: "Ruiz, how are things on your end?"
Ruiz, on the phone and standing by the roadside smoking, said to Jimmy: "No gains, I'm monitoring him, but haven't found any problems."
Jimmy and Ruiz didn't mention any names over the phone. When Hughes was assigning tasks, only the three of them were in the meeting room, so it was clear who they were talking about.
Jimmy: "Give me his cell phone number, home phone, and office phone numbers."
Ruiz didn't respond; he took a puff of his cigarette, exhaled: "Have an idea? Wait a sec." He went back inside the surveillance van, took out the deputy editor's information, and reported the numbers to Jimmy. Jimmy wrote down the name Allen Tudyk on a sticky note, then jotted down the three numbers underneath, and hung up the phone.
Actually, the FBI's data center also had phone surveillance and record retrieval, but it wasn't something Jimmy and his team could use at will. It required filing an application. Although Ruiz, as the head of the special investigation team, had the authority, he also couldn't just use that function at will; the current investigation was conducted with standard surveillance methods.
Jimmy tore off the sticky note, folded it neatly, and put it in his pocket. Jimmy sat in the conference room pondering whether to contact Hughes to use the Anti-Terrorism Bureau to handle his personal issue, which might cause quite a few problems. What about the reason? If they investigated him, would it be hugely disadvantageous for him?
Jimmy held his phone, torn. In the end, he decided not to contact Hughes. That way, everything would be his own quest for personal vengeance. For a young man, impulsiveness was understandable. If he reported to Hughes, either Hughes would directly refuse, or it might drag Hughes down in the process. Neither outcome was what he wanted.
Jimmy made up his mind; since both video incidents targeted him, he would take responsibility for them himself. Success or failure, it was better not to involve others and drag them into trouble.
Jimmy went to the command center; Noah had already left. He asked someone for Noah's office and headed there.
"Knock, knock," Jimmy knocked on the door. Inside, Noah glanced up, then gestured with a finger for him to come in.
Noah: "Jimmy, what can I do for you?"
Jimmy: "Mr. Watson, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Noah nodded, and Jimmy continued: "You know about the two videos from a few days ago. We've already investigated and uncovered some details. The first video was made by the gang that owned the warehouse we raided as retaliation for the search and for the injuries to their people.
But the second video is tricky, as it's clearly targeted at me. So far, we've only found that it was the deputy editor of a television station who provided the video, but where he got it from we've not yet discovered.
Being the detective in charge of the explosion case, this video targeting me could very likely be an attempt to delay our investigation. I'd like to ask for your help to investigate the deputy editor's source and track down who is orchestrating this whole affair. It might be related to the explosion case we are currently handling."
