Jimmy nodded, "Although I judge that the current situation is most likely not related to Nuer, the mastermind behind the explosions, since there are leads, let's investigate them as well."

Riley came over with a mobile phone, "Jimmy, I need to return to the office. You guys can arrange to come back on your own later, I won't see you out."

Jimmy: "Thank you, Riley, go ahead with your work. I can handle things here."

This time, there was no handshake. Jimmy opened his arms and hugged Riley goodbye. Riley also said goodbye to Mahong and Philicia before leaving the police station.

Jimmy: "I'll contact the hospital. If they have finished treating their wounds, we'll prepare to take people back."

-----------------

Using the FBI's authority, after the hospital treatment, Jimmy forcibly arranged for two suspects to be sent back to New York. Fortunately, as long as there was money involved, the local ambulances weren't opposed to a private job.

After contacting a hospital in New York in advance, Jimmy and his team quickly returned to Manhattan with two ambulances and a hearse. The two deceased were sent to the morgue at the forensic doctor's office in the hearse, and the injured were taken to a designated hospital. Two probationary agents were arranged to guard them in shifts, which Mahong had the authority to arrange over a phone call.

The fingerprints of all four individuals were also collected. Back at the office, Jimmy immediately sent their fingerprints and guns to the forensic department to confirm their identities, and to check if these handguns matched the bullet fragments and rifling from the gun attack on Jimmy a few days earlier.

Last time it was two people; this time, it was four. If they didn't indeed have so many on hand, readily available, there should theoretically be some intersection.

While Jimmy was dealing with these four individuals, Mahong arranged for Philicia to investigate another bomber, Ashraf Rassimi. Mahong himself went to find Hughes.

Hughes didn't know much about Mahong, so he hadn't assigned the investigations of Jimmy being under OPR scrutiny and the assault case to Mahong, choosing instead to go with someone he was more familiar with, from his old subordinates.

Mahong recounted the details of Jimmy's attack today and his deductions to Hughes, exactly in Jimmy's own words without adding his own speculations.

Hughes: "What's your opinion?"

Mahong: "Two things, first, contact the technical department to check who accessed Jimmy's personal data and car allocations during this period; second, the method used to pinpoint Jimmy's location, if it involved system queries, was likely through mobile tracking and vehicle GPS data. Investigating who accessed the system from yesterday afternoon to today's midday should narrow down the scope. I suggest it would be best to inquire the base-level data from DC, as our office is currently unable to exclude any suspects."

Hughes nodded, "Okay, I'll handle it. You go back and start checking on the gunmen."

Mahong nodded and left Hughes's office.

Back at his side, Jimmy had the fastest fingerprint comparison, and unquestionably, all four individuals had criminal records and had been incarcerated. He returned to the office with a stack of A4 papers.

Jimmy: "The results are out. The identities of all four individuals have been verified. Have a look."

Jimmy distributed the documents to Mahong and Philicia, "The two who are alive; the driver is named Sean Moore, and the gunman, David Cowell. The firearms comparison isn't back yet, probably by tomorrow morning."

After distributing the documents, Jimmy put his own copy on the desk, "Mahong, what did Hughes say?"

Mahong looked up at Jimmy, "Hughes will handle the mole; we just have to deal with the gunmen. Their interrogation begins tomorrow, Philicia."

Philicia nodded, "Understood."

Jimmy: "What about me?"

Mahong: "You have free reign. I won't restrict your movement, but it's best to remain within a short distance so we can reach you quickly if support is needed."

Jimmy nodded, took out his phone, and walked out, "I'm going to make a call."

-----------------

Jimmy entered an empty conference room and pressed the call button, and the person on the other end answered quickly: "Director Watson, this is Jimmy, Jimmy from the FBI."

Watson: "Is there something wrong?"

Jimmy: "Are you available?"

There was a pause on Watson's end before he spoke, "Come over."

Jimmy thanked him, hung up the phone, and planned to utilize some special abilities. When it came to surveillance capabilities, neither the NYPD's control center nor the FBI's came close to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau.

As for whether Jimmy's identity would be exposed, it no longer mattered to him. He increasingly felt indifferent. It wasn't that he underestimated them, but if the Boxer from last time was already an Anti-Terrorism Bureau or a top CIA agent, then Jimmy's previous fear of the CIA was no longer so great. Those movie-like omnipotent CIA agents were clearly a completely different story from the actual agents.

Last time, helping Watson had resulted in Jimmy getting hurt, and Watson definitely acknowledged this favor. This time, Watson had to help him no matter what.

Jimmy returned to his office, picked up the two videotapes Chuck had delivered, greeted Mahong, and then left the office.

-----------------

Jimmy arrived at the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, showed his credentials, and the receptionist contacted Supervisor Watson, allowing Jimmy to go upstairs. As he went up, Jimmy wondered, what serious matter had occurred? Why did the people here seem a bit off?

Jimmy reached the command center and knocked on the glass door. Inside, Supervisor Watson was standing and looking at a monitor displaying a photo of a man with black hair and some disorganized information, as well as a monitor displaying a map of a city district.

Watson turned and saw Jimmy, then came out of the command center. "Jimmy, is something wrong?"

Jimmy shook hands with Watson, "Supervisor Watson, I'm here to ask for your help. Two days ago, I was shot at, and today someone tried to kill me. I'm requesting your help with investigating their origins."

Watson frowned, "They shot at you? Twice?"

Jimmy nodded, "The first time was a motorcycle, two people. The person on the back seat fired four shots at me and then fled. The second time it was a car with four people; I've already caught two of them, but they are in the hospital right now, so I temporarily can't interrogate them."

Watson shook his head, "Sorry, Jimmy, we're currently dealing with a very serious matter and can't provide any help to you for the time being."

Jimmy sounded disappointed, "How long might it take?"

Watson shook his head, "I can't give you a time right now."

Jimmy thought for a moment, "Can I wait here for a while?"

Watson: "Find a conference room and stay there." After speaking, he turned and went back to the command center.

Jimmy was helpless as the Anti-Terrorism Bureau was busy with their mission. He glanced once more through the glass at the screens on the wall before heading towards an empty conference room to wait, hoping their task would end soon.

It wasn't until evening that a staff member came to call Jimmy to the command center. Upon arriving, Jimmy handed over the two videotapes to the staff to be converted to computer files and then requested surveillance from the Holland Tunnel entrance. The gunmen's car had entered the tunnel shortly after Jimmy, and the timing was clear, making investigation easier.

The car they were driving had fake plates; Jimmy had already investigated this. The real license plate was on another car, so the best tracking method was to use surveillance footage for backtracking, a top skill of the Anti-Terrorism Bureau known for its speed and accuracy, much stronger than that of the control center.

After explaining all investigation details, Jimmy could finally leave. As for Watson, he wasn't even in the command center but had told the people there to assist Jimmy before he left.

The next day, Jimmy didn't return to the bureau but went directly to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau. In the command center, he saw the results of their investigation from the previous night.

The motorcycle video extracted a parking lot where the motorcycle had been seen, and they even found video of the motorcycle entering the parking lot from hidden cameras. Previously, Jimmy knew about the extra cameras the Anti-Terrorism Bureau had installed in New York, which weren't under the NYPD control center's surveillance range.

Proceeding backwards, they finally pinpointed the initial appearance of the motorcycle at an auto repair shop, which looked very familiar to Jimmy as he had just been there recently to repair his Mercury.

The car, however, did not have a confirmed origin point from surveillance, only the earliest district it appeared in, which did not allow backtracking to their hideout.

Now, the target had been confirmed: that auto repair shop.
