Jimmy took out his phone, started dialing the office number, called for an ambulance, the bomb disposal team, and forensic personnel. Another warehouse, there was plenty of work to be done.
The person caught by Gordon didn't say a word, just howled with pain, having been shot in the right arm and right shoulder. Gordon dragged him onto an open ground to sit down. It was impossible to conduct an interrogation under these circumstances, and they didn't carry a medical kit with them, so they could only try to press on the blood vessels to slow the blood loss a bit.
The fire rescue ambulance was the fastest, arriving outside the warehouse in just a brief 3 minutes. The firefighters, carrying first aid kits, got off the ambulance. Jimmy pointed them to the entrance of the warehouse outside, and they immediately went in to provide first aid and stop the bleeding for the suspect. Afterwards, Joey and Harry accompanied the suspect to the hospital.
Gordon and Scott came out of the warehouse and stood outside with Jimmy, waiting for the arrival of the forensic and bomb disposal teams. The forensic team was there to collect evidence, while the bomb disposal team would assess whether the equipment and materials in the warehouse posed any danger. Each had their specific duty, and Jimmy and his colleagues were field agents. In an emergency, making a quick assessment was fine, but now that the situation was under control, it was better to wait for the others.
Jimmy walked a little further away, lit a cigarette, and exhaled towards the sky. Gordon watched Jimmy and walked over, "Jimmy, are you feeling a lot more relaxed now?"
Jimmy nodded, "A huge bomb was hanging over my head all these days; I haven't been relaxed at all. After the bomb disposal team evaluates the situation, our task will come to a pause, and what remains is to find the mastermind."
Gordon said, "Yeah, it's been some time since we've been out here. When this case is over, we also need to go back and rest properly."
Jimmy said with a smile, "When the case ends, I'm going to apply for a vacation too. This kind of case really wears you down."
-----------------
The warehouse investigation took up a lot of time. After receiving a call from Joey, Gordon first took Scott back to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau. The suspect had completed emergency treatment and, under the strong demand of the FBI, was urgently transferred to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau for interrogation.
This was somewhat inhumane. Normally, the suspect would be observed in the hospital for a while, and even interrogations would take place in a specially arranged hospital ward.
However, this case was indeed significant, and they were now completely immune to the interrogation methods of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau. Completing this bomb attack case as quickly as possible was of the utmost importance.
Jimmy stayed on-site, continuing the warehouse investigation with the forensic team. According to their estimate, it would take several hours to completely clear out the warehouse, including fingerprints, item inventory, taking photographs for records, and so on.
"Agent Yang, come inside for a moment." Jimmy, who was zoning out outside, was called by the forensic personnel. After entering the warehouse, the forensic personnel pointed at a table and told Jimmy, "Are you sure there was only one person here? The traces on this table suggest there might have been two people here. Look at this."
He pointed at a mat on the table, "There should be two stains here. Although I haven't made a formal analysis, I think they might be coffee stains. People generally have their own habits. If the coffee cup was placed on this side of the mat, these two stains wouldn't be so far apart."
Standing in front of the table, facing the workstation, with the mat on the right-hand side, the positioning of one stain was exactly where it would be convenient for him to pick up a cup with his right hand.
Jimmy frowned and asked, "Are you sure? We only found one person, who should have been taken back for interrogation by now."
The forensic personnel shook their head, "It's just speculation; I can't be certain. Moreover, there seems to be no coffee machine here, meaning the coffee was brought in from outside. However, there are no remaining takeaway coffee paper cups here, nor are there any in the trash bin."
Jimmy looked at the table and thought for a moment, "Makes sense, but there's only one cot in the corner of the room, which suggests that there was likely only one person living here according to the items present."
They had briefly looked over the warehouse situation earlier, but the joy of catching someone caused them to relax and not inspect carefully.
If there truly were two people here, that would be a serious problem.
The bomb disposal team had already transported the bomb materials away. These were not items the forensic team could handle; any mistake could lead to a disaster. Jimmy walked around the empty warehouse, suddenly feeling a bit anxious. If there really were two people involved, with one residing here and the other coming and going to deal with things and then leaving, could it be that not all their items were in this warehouse? Could there be backups stored elsewhere?
Jimmy picked up his phone and stepped outside the warehouse. After thinking it through, he called the bomb disposal team, "Hey, it's Jimmy. Have you guys tallied up the amount of materials yet?"
"Agent Yang, not yet, we were just analyzing the equipment. Is there a problem?"
"Yeah, I want you to confirm the quantity of materials first. I'm concerned that they might have more than this warehouse."
"Okay, just a moment."
After hanging up, Jimmy took out a cigarette and began to wait for their response, hoping the numbers would match up. If they didn't, it was going to be problematic.
When anxious, time seems to crawl by especially slowly. Just ten minutes felt like an hour to Jimmy, who had already tossed three cigarette butts on the ground.
The phone rang, and Jimmy immediately picked it up, "How's it going? Text me the numbers, I'll cross-check them with the intel we have."
