Jimmy: "Is the auction house suffering a huge loss?"
Mahong: "Yes, they had originally planned to hold an auction tomorrow night. The auction items have been gradually transported to the auction house's safe since yesterday. Before the robbery occurred today, most of the items were already in the safe. This time, everything was taken in one go."
Jimmy: "OK, what have you discovered? Over here, it's a shooting case: a family of three was shot and killed in their car, and the male was the supervisor of the security company."
Mahong: "That matches. The missing security guard is also from this security company. According to the auction house's surveillance, that guard was the insider for the robbers. He cut off the surveillance and power, allowing the robbers to directly enter the auction house. After controlling everyone, they opened the internal warehouse and used explosive cord and C4 to blow open the safe's door."
Jimmy nods: "OK, deal with your situation first; I've already obtained the information here."
Mahong: "Let's listen to it together. Jones, let him in."
Mahong is more assertive than Jimmy. The security guard of the company became a mole for the robbers, and there's surveillance footage to prove it; they can't escape suspicion. In fact, agents are already on their way, and everyone in the security company will be temporarily held at the company, waiting for subsequent agents to take statements.
Moore, as the manager, definitely can't escape. He cooperatively handed over the security guard's information. Mahong was startled just by looking at the photo on the file, "Is this his recent photo?"
Moore nods: "Gonzalez joined a year ago. This is his photo, but it's from a year ago."
Mahong: "Do you have a recent photo or surveillance footage?"
Moore: "I'll need to find someone to ask."
Moore leaves the office, and Jones follows him. Mahong turns to Jimmy: "The missing security guard isn't this person. Someone used his identity to infiltrate the auction house."
Jimmy: "Are you sure? Then things here are complicated."
Mahong: "I'm sure. We've seen the auction house's surveillance. Although it's not very clear, their appearance is noticeably different. I'll reconfirm with them. This case is troublesome; you mentioned their security supervisor was shot dead, it's most likely related to my case."
Jimmy nods. Who's the most familiar with the security guards in a security company? It's surely their direct supervisor.
Oliver Morgan, as the superior of these security guards, was responsible for arranging security and clients, definitely had a comprehensive security shift plan. The robbers obtained the plan, identified replacements among clients, then colluded inside and outside to execute the robbery plan. With this speculation, the whole case chain is complete.
Now, it's about finding evidence to validate these theories, and the reason they might have killed Oliver Morgan is probably to cover up their actions and motives.
However, there's one thing in this speculation that can't be explained. What's the deal with Oliver Morgan's fake passport?
This case is getting interesting. Jimmy glanced at Mark and Julia, deciding to follow this case himself. It seems like he'll have to cooperate with Mahong later. If the two of them handle the case, they'd probably get overshadowed by Mahong.
Soon, Manager Moore returned with a recent photo of the missing security guard Gonzalez, taken a few months ago with others, very clear.
Mahong made Moore copy a set of materials to take away, needing to hurry back to the auction house to confirm who the security guard was these past few days. Hence, the statements on the security company's side will be handled by the supportive agents.
Jimmy also copied the materials and left the security company with Mark and Julia, heading directly to Oliver Morgan's rented apartment.
Because Oliver's home is not far from Newark, New Jersey, to avoid the daily driving commute, he rented an apartment near the security company, living there normally and returning home on weekends or time off.
Manager Moore also mentioned Oliver's situation earlier. Due to work pressure, Oliver had been working overtime recently. As the business eased a bit, he took a week's leave, intending to take his family out for relaxation.
This time, Oliver had already been dead for two days, and the security company still hadn't received any news, simply because he was currently on vacation. Others wouldn't contact him unless there was an urgent matter.
Before acquiring the fake passport, Jimmy and the others hadn't overly focused on his career information, which can be considered a minor mistake. Fortunately, everything has stabilized now: identity confirmed, home address confirmed, occupation confirmed, apartment location confirmed, making the investigation more convenient for Jimmy and his team.
Jimmy asked Julia to go back and retrieve the keys from the deceased. Since they were going to his apartment, having the keys would certainly be the most convenient.
The previous shooting case clearly aimed to kill. In fact, most belongings of the three deceased in the car weren't touched; only their phones and wallets were taken, while the remaining items like keys and bags were still there.
If it were a regular robbery, at least the bag would have been taken. Jimmy and his team have spent enough time in New York to know that if it were typical gang members, they'd take something on impulse.
This time, they're investigating the deceased's apartment, making it much more convenient with the keys.
