Jimm nodded, "Thank you. If I have any questions, I'll come to ask you again. Goodbye."
Jimmy left the repair shop, drove a distance, then stopped by the roadside, and took out the paper to read the words written on the back.
Carlos Cardona, from Trinidad, with an address and a phone number.
Once Jimmy saw the gang Trinidad, he understood where the problem was. Trinidad was the gang that had declared war on Razor before, the same gang that had collaborated with Azte. Azte was targeted by Ruiz this time precisely because their sloppy handling led to the discovery of the warehouse and then the infamous incident of shooting while racing through downtown.
If it was their doing, then the person who attempted to assassinate Jimmy was interesting. Originally, it was thought that Azte's people had all been killed or captured, so when Jimmy was contemplating his would-be killer, he had completely overlooked them.
Now, it seemed that some people had a very strong intelligence capability; they attempted an assassination so soon after the events, clearly having received very specific intelligence, knowing that he was the main force. Ruiz, who was in charge of the case, was fine, they only targeted him, indicating he'd done something unacceptable to them, involving some very important people among the killed.
As Jimmy pondered, his phone rang, it was Mahong's call.
Mahong: "Jimmy, we've got the intelligence, come back as soon as you can."
Jimmy: "Did you find out who sent the gunman? Who was it?"
Mahong: "Only a phone number, the contact they notified after the job was done. Their identities are also confirmed, a gang called Azte."
Jimmy: "I see, I'll be right back at the office."
Jimmy drove back, still pondering on his way who exactly was the important person he had eliminated that made them target him specifically for assassination. Given they were just a gang, not mercenaries, and dared to plan such an operation knowing about his track record—was it because they didn't care about the gunmen, or did they lack previous data on him?
Regardless, now that he had a target, it was much better than being utterly confused as before, and it ruled out the suspicion of Nuer being the mastermind behind the explosion case. Therefore, another person named by El who could make bombs was also rendered useless.
Jimmy returned to the office, immediately headed back to his office, "Mahong, how's the investigation going?"
Mahong shook his head: "That number has already been checked, it was a prepaid phone, currently all we know for sure is it was sold in New York, but who bought it is unclear."
Jimmy: "Do they have any other intelligence? Did they mention why they don't carry phones?"
Mahong: "We got this information, they came from New Mexico State, eight people, traveling by private plane. However, they don't know at which airport that private plane docked."
"Upon arriving in New York, they split into two groups. This group received a phone for contact, and they were instructed not to carry phones during the operation, only to memorize the phone number and contact after completing the task. The mastermind behind this is extremely cautious; the phones they used previously were also unregistered and have been destroyed. The whereabouts of the other four individuals are unknown."
Jimmy felt agonizingly troubled; the mastermind was extremely cautious indeed. Now, it appeared that Azte was just a tool in his hands, and he had specifically severed all ties, making it impossible to track his location.
Mahong: "And one more thing, their intelligence came from another person, but since that phone has been destroyed, we can't get that phone number, and I suspect that person is an inside mole."
Jimmy nodded, "That's all we can do for now. By the way, any results from Hughes regarding the investigation into the mole?"
Mahong shook his head: "The leads are too few at the moment, we can't determine who it is yet, we'll have to wait for the tech department to see if they can retrieve the data. Hughes has not mentioned it, probably no results yet."
Jimmy: "Understood, give me that phone number, I'll try to handle it."
Mahong wrote a number on a notepad and handed it to Jimmy who then said, "By the way, has the ballistic report from the testing center come out? Can the bullets from their guns be matched with those fired at me from the motorcycle?"
Mahong looked towards Philicia, "Philicia?"
Philicia: "It's confirmed, the guns do not match. If they didn't swap guns, then the ones who attacked you the first time weren't them."
Jimmy handed the folded paper to Mahong, "This is the motorcycle used in the attack, the back of the paper lists the owner."
If Mahong and his team hadn't figured it out, maybe Jimmy would have taken action on his own. Since the leads were also pointing to Azte now, Jimmy abandoned the plan to act alone.
Mahong: "Are you certain of this information?"
Jimmy nodded, and Mahong said, "Let's go."
Very decisively, Mahong did not ask Jimmy where this lead came from. He knew that since Jimmy had provided it, he must consider his source entirely reliable. As for the means, who didn't have some if they could be a senior agent at the FBI?
The three of them went directly downstairs, and before getting into their cars, they took bullet-proof vests from the trunk. It was truly the first time Jimmy had seen such decisive action from Mahong and was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Jimmy also put on his bullet-proof vest, and the three of them in three cars headed straight for Brooklyn. The address given by Sandler at the repair shop was in Brooklyn, where the Trinidad gang had taken over the territory from Razor's gang, and many members of the Trinidad gang were there.
