After the news conference on the case ended, Jimmy could finally relax a little. Leaving the conference room, he reached up to loosen his tie and the top button of his shirt, "Isabel, how did I do?"

Isabel smiled and said, "Pretty good, much better than the last press conference you hosted. It seems it was a major oversight not to have you participate in more press conferences back then, wasting your talent."

Jimmy: "Spare me, I really don't like this kind of environment. If it weren't for the fact that a few higher-ups decided on it at yesterday's meeting, I would've run as far as I could. Anyway, now that this is over, I'm heading back to the office. Goodbye."

Jimmy and Isabel hugged each other goodbye. Although they were barely considered former colleagues and theoretically shouldn't be this close, a handshake or a wave should have sufficed. However, today's press conference was very successful for Jimmy, so he got a bit excited and opened his arms.

Julia and Mark were also at the press conference. Now that it's over, the three of them were on their way back to the office. Jimmy said, "Mark, Julia, discuss between yourselves and take turns taking a day off. Get a change of scenery before coming back to work."

Julia glanced at Mark, "Mark, you rest first. Also, go check on your head injury at the hospital."

Mark nodded: "OK, I'll take a rest tomorrow then."

Jimmy: "Don't wander around too much during your break. There might be an OPR inquiry that you both need to attend soon."

Both of them looked at Jimmy in surprise. Mark asked, "What inquiry?"

Jimmy: "The amusement park shooting case. You both fired shots, it's a normal procedure, but since the case was under investigation, it hadn't been held earlier. Now that the case is closed, you'll likely have to attend."

Mark: "What about you?"

Jimmy chuckled lightly, "Don't worry about me, I've been through this many times before. In fact, it might not even happen this time; I just wanted to give you a heads-up."

Mark: "OK, I understand."

Back in the office, Jimmy slacked off again, having Mark and Julia investigate the second gunman's personal connections. Since Will was already dead, that lead was temporarily cut off, making the second gunman the main focus now.

Although Jimmy said during the press conference that the case was closed, he also mentioned the truth that they still needed to continue investigating related information to determine if the shooting case was connected to terrorist attacks or criminal organizations. If there was indeed a connection, then the subsequent investigation might not continue with the Homicide Team.

Today, Jimmy could finally leave work on time. He made a special trip to Whole Foods to buy dinner ingredients and went home to pamper himself a bit.

After dinner, Jimmy and Nia sat on the couch watching TV and chatting about gossip, finally catching the news of his press conference. Actually, the content of the press conference had already been broadcasted in the afternoon, but it was just a brief segment. It took time to process the on-site video from the conference, so the evening news featured the live video and the related materials Jimmy presented on the big screen.

Nia was also seeing these case details for the first time. When Jimmy had come back previously, Nia had only asked about the results briefly and didn't ask for details.

Nia: "Is this case completely over? Did you really take down four gunmen?"

Jimmy nodded, fiddling with Nia's hair with his hand. "Two cases, each with two gunmen. Unfortunately, we got there a little late, and they still opened fire on the civilians."

Nia: "Really? Are there two children dead?"

When Jimmy spoke about this topic, he was still gritting his teeth a bit: "Yes, their identities weren't mentioned at the press conference, but their families had already been contacted after confirming their identities following the shooting. Those gunmen really deserved to die."

In fact, Jimmy really couldn't bear seeing children get shot. When he arrived at the shooting scene, he already regretted not taking out the two gunmen immediately.

When he fired, he intentionally avoided the vital parts. If they hadn't continued to fight back later, Jimmy initially intended to spare them for further investigation.

But after seeing the scene, Jimmy was genuinely glad he didn't leave them alive. Sending them to Hell was the best solace he could offer those children.

Jimmy thought for a moment, using Nia's hair to brush her face lightly: "Tomorrow morning, I'm going to the shooting scene, remind me to buy flowers."

Nia: "Okay, do you want me to go with you?"

Jimmy: "No need, I can go by myself."

Nia changed the channel with the remote, watched for a while, then turned to look at Jimmy, "Then do you want to go to the church? You haven't gone to pray for a long time."

Since they were together, Nia actually knew that Jimmy wasn't really a believer. He had never participated in church activities, and although he used to wear a cross pendant a long time ago, he had simply stopped wearing it. All signs pointed to the fact that Jimmy's identity as a believer was quite shaky.

Just now, when Jimmy spoke about the two children, it was clear his mood had taken a turn for the worse. Maybe a trip to the church could give him some peace of mind.

Jimmy: "Oh, a trip would be good, it really has been a while since I last went."

Jimmy kissed Nia, looked into her eyes, and smiled, saying: "Thank you." Thankfully, Nia reminded him; he had completely forgotten the believer persona he had crafted for himself. It seemed that after taking down certain people, he hadn't even gone to the church confession room. He might as well go, it could be somewhat beneficial.
