This kind of case is boring, it's clear that as long as we arrest the suspect, it's done; even the NYPD Detective doesn't need to get involved, the Patrol Officer department can handle it.

After work in the evening, Jimmy, Mark, Julia, and a few others went to his bar for a drink, to relieve the day's fatigue.

Mark and Julia were both exhausted, not physically, but mentally; it was an extremely disturbing case video. Jimmy gave up after watching just a little bit. Since two people were already enduring this mental strain, he decided to skip it.

Jimmy chatted with Woody for a while, made sure everything was normal in the bar, and then went home. Those two were both single, and when Jimmy left, they were still drinking. Anyway, Woody had promised to arrange someone to send them home later, so Jimmy wasn't worried.

When he got home, Nia, surprisingly, had spread documents on the dining table and was reading them. Jimmy asked as he walked over, "Why did you bring the case home? Did something big happen?"

Nia turned around and kissed Jimmy, "It's nothing, I just wanted to know more about the paranormal events you mentioned. These are all unsolved cases from before."

Jimmy: "No need to look for them like this. Paranormal cases don't even appear once or twice a year; they're very rare. And most of those paranormal cases won't be reported to you, they have their own specialists handling them."

Nia smiled and shook her head, "I'm just flipping through records to see if there's anything similar to those movie plots. You go freshen up first; I've ordered some takeout, and it should be here soon."

Jimmy: "Alright, I'll watch with you later."

After washing up, Jimmy picked up the case files on the table to have a look. Nia had brought home quite a few cases, a dozen or so, mostly shootings and murder cases. However, they were all individual murder cases, not forming a serial murder case or involving multiple victims.

Jimmy put the files back on the table, "These are all normal cases, from the content, they don't seem related to paranormal events."

Nia: "Then what kind of cases would be paranormal cases?"

Jimmy: "Alright, let's tidy up and have dinner. I'll tell you about a case that happened in New York later on."

Jimmy and Nia are also too lazy to cook now. Unless it's the weekend or a day off, they don't usually make dinner at home; they just order takeout or go out to a restaurant. Their work hours are both quite unpredictable, and cooking in advance would mean reheating the food, which is troublesome.

After eating and drinking, Jimmy cuddled with Nia on the sofa. The movie playing on the TV was no longer appealing. Nia was listening to Jimmy talk about a murder case involving a homeless person. It was a case where Jimmy originally found out that a suspect had shot multiple homeless people and was later killed by a Resentful Spirit in the detention center.

The case actually had no final result. According to Jimmy's judgment at that time, it should have been carried out by a person or an Organization, because those Resentful Spirits seem to flee to a specific location after leaving the body. It was just that he acted quickly and dealt with the Resentful Spirit directly in an alley.

Jimmy is pretty good at telling stories, and since Nia is also a Detective, she knows New York's terrain and environment very well, so she could ask about some details of the case. In the end, under Nia's additional questioning, Jimmy realized that there were quite a few errors in the case details he remembered.

However, the result was still good. Jimmy also reminded Nia that if she ever encountered an abnormal case or situation at the scene, never to track down and investigate alone. The world is not as safe as she imagines.

About the two incidents involving two invulnerable Cult followers, he hesitated, and decided to only mention it a little, without going into detailed information.

When handguns are ineffective, the police usually carry rifles and shotguns in their vehicles. Previously, Jimmy was too far from his car, and his personal vehicle didn't have a rifle, so he could only use a handgun to test the effectiveness. If he had a rifle, maybe the sufficient kinetic energy from the muzzle could penetrate their defense.

At this point, Jimmy discussed with Nia about their home defense weapon procurement plan. Nia also carries two guns, a Glock 19 as the main weapon and a Glock 26 as a backup handgun, usually strapped to her ankle, which is where most officers place their backup handgun.

Nia's handgun configuration aims for uniformity. The Glock 26 also uses 9mm Parabellum Bullets, the same as the 19, so she doesn't need to carry two different types of bullets, which makes adjustments convenient.

This is different from Jimmy, who has enough confidence in his shooting skills. He rarely encounters a situation where he uses up all his bullets; two Glock Magazines are enough for him.

As for the revolver, it's no concern for ordinary situations. If it weren't to put on a show and make himself appear more ordinary, one bullet per person would be sufficient. The amount of ammunition he carries is enough to storm a drug dealer's lair by himself.

After discussing for a while, they eventually chose the Remington M870 as the shotgun, known for its durability, safety, and reliability, and a Colt AR15 as the long gun. As for handguns, they both already have spare ones, so there's no need to keep others at home for now. It's best to just stock up on some bullets for convenience.

Of course, having these means they need a gun rack, which is quite simple: just set up a steel frame with a guard net and a lock, and it's good to go. It doesn't take up space in the study.

This apartment feels a bit small, and it is inconvenient to change the structure to adjust the space. Jimmy increasingly wants to get a standalone house, at least with multiple floors and a basement. It would be easier to store some things. This apartment only has one bedroom and one study, and there are too many neighbors around, which is somewhat inconvenient.

Early the next morning, Jimmy came to the office. Julia had already placed a few printed screenshots on his desk. "Yang, the photos and the tattoo photos have undergone image restoration. You can take a look now. Sorry, no other useful clues were found in the video."

Jimmy nodded, "Thanks, Julia, appreciate the hard work. Mark, did you have any findings on your end?"

Mark: "What Julia gave you is what we discovered together."

Jimmy picked up the photos and flipped through them. In the last photo, he suddenly noticed a familiar tattoo pattern. It was an iris pattern, similar to one he had seen before in a dismemberment case. Part of the body had this similar pattern, and Jimmy had, through contacts with the hotel Charon, found the tattoo artist.

Jimmy showed the tattoo pattern to Julia, "Whose is this pattern? Dig out her original video."

Julia took a look, nodded, and searched on the computer, "Found it, but the woman's appearance in this video is covered. There's no way for the tech department to restore the face under the mosaic."

Jimmy watched the video on Julia's computer, "Copy this for me, I remember this tattoo pattern; I had handled a similar case before, I'll go find someone to verify it."

Julia nodded, took an empty USB drive from the drawer, copied the video, and handed it to Jimmy.

Jimmy organized his outfit, checked his gun and bullets, "You continue with the investigation, I'm going out." He left the office after saying that.

He first called Charon, as it was Charon who had taken Jimmy to see the tattoo artist before. Now going directly to the tattoo artist would be impolite, so it was best to contact and make an appointment through Charon.

Fortunately, Charon helped make a call, and the tattoo artist agreed for Jimmy to visit in the afternoon. She still had work to do in the morning, and a client was in, so it was inconvenient for FBI personnel to visit then.
