Ruiz: "Ordinary murder case?"
Jimmy: "Currently it's speculated to be that, possibly done by gangs, drug dealers, or enemies. I've handed it over to Mark and them to investigate."
Ruiz: "How are they doing?"
Ruiz's topic jumps quickly, Jimmy replied with a smile: "Not bad, aside from lack of experience, they still save me a lot of thought."
Ruiz: "Well, that's it, you go back first."
Jimmy: "Okay. Goodbye."
Back in the Homicide Team office, Jimmy stared at the information on the computer in a daze. What he just told Ruiz was the reason he was interested in this case. To be able to take down five people with cold weapons, while not giving them time to escape, is very difficult. Constructing the perpetrator's movements in his mind is extremely difficult, as this ability far exceeds what an ordinary human can do.
The human body is indeed fragile, but to decapitate two people, the time required should definitely be enough for those on the sofa area to get up and escape, unless it was accomplished in an instant. He is more inclined to believe that some unknown supernatural event occurred there, but there's something odd about it.
The field office staff aren't fools; they would definitely discuss and investigate this point, but it's not reflected in the information, indicating they're not confident enough to lay out their conclusions, as it's too outrageous and they'd be considered crazy.
Jimmy can accept this notion calmly because, although he hasn't encountered this type of supernatural incident, he has indeed seen quite a few.
Starting the new year with such a high-difficulty case, it seems the days to come won't be peaceful. This omen isn't very good.
Jimmy didn't rush to confirm, but continued to wait for Mark's investigation results.
The next day, Mark asked Jimmy for leave. He needed to go out of town to verify the matter about that symbol. Jimmy arranged Julia to investigate clues in the office, not being assured for her to go out alone, as the probability of something happening is too high. The crime scene is in Bronx, not Manhattan.
Mark returned quickly, "Yang, we have discovered something. I brought back some non-confidential photos." He opened the folder and took out two photos, sticking them to the whiteboard.
Jimmy and Julia both came over, and Mark pointed at the pattern in the photo, "This pattern is different from what we saw, simpler, without the background lines, just a simple inverted triangle and the letter K, the tattoo is on the right arm."
This photo is of our victim's body, inverted triangle and the letter S, also without the background pattern from the picture. If viewed from this point, they should be from the same organization.
Because of the confidentiality agreement, I can only tell you that this K is a Mexican."
Jimmy: "Julia, who is our deceased?"
Julia: "A Latin American in the United States, the deceased's name doesn't have the letter S. If they belong to the same organization, then they likely aren't determined by name."
Jimmy: "Have we found any nearby surveillance?"
Julia: "No results. If they are truly a hidden organization, then their residence is certainly carefully chosen, and we've found nothing around."
Jimmy thought for a moment and said: "Until there's a new case, continue following up on the investigation, and also pay attention to whether others have the same tattoo. Focus on checking the deceased's familial relationships."
Mark and Julia nodded, understanding that, if it's a hidden organization, relying solely on this point to find corresponding people is very difficult. This case is destined not to be easily resolved.
Jimmy: "Also, give me the photos of the painting in the deceased's bedroom, I need to ask around."
Jimmy took the printed photos to the White Collar office, Mahong and the others were still there, "Mahong, I need your help."
Mahong stood up, "Jimmy, what's up?"
Jimmy handed the photo to Mahong, "We've discovered a hidden organization on our side, one of their members was beheaded. This is a painting found in his bedroom, help keep an eye out in the art market for any similar patterns."
Jimmy pointed at the inverted triangle icon, Mahong looked at it and headed to the doorway, "Neil, come over."
Neil Cavrey hasn't completed his sentence yet, still needs to serve as a consultant in the FBI, though Peter has left, he has to remain. However, judging by the smile on his face and Mahong's casual call, their relationship seems quite good.
Mahong: "Take a look, anything familiar?"
Neil scrutinized the photo, shook his head, "This painting seems to be done by a novice, not belonging to traditional artworks, as for this inverted triangle symbol, no impression."
Jimmy nodded: "OK, just keep an eye out, it's not very urgent. Well, I'll be on my way."
Jimmy left the photo with Mahong. If they can obtain results, great. If not, he tried his best anyway; no one can be omniscient, right? Even if the case remains unsolved and becomes a cold case, it's inevitable, no one can guarantee a 100% success rate.
The case is temporarily like this, Jimmy turned his attention to the case from the field office. He called Ruiz, then arranged for Mark and Julia to continue working, and drove to Hudson River Valley office.
The reason he needs to go there himself is to see the crime scene with his own eyes, especially since he has the Heart Eye that can observe many things others can't, if it indeed is a supernatural case.
