Fortunately, the gun ID Mark replied was correct, his brain is working fine.

Jimmy: "Your gun has been recovered, Black Wolf has been captured, and the ambulance will come later to take him to the hospital."

Mark: "Will it be sent to my side?"

Jimmy: "He is currently in the Bronx, are you sure you want him sent to Brooklyn?"

Mark: "Yes."

Jimmy: "No problem, I'll tell the ambulance in a bit. That's it, you take care of yourself and don't worry."

Mark: "Thank you so much, Jimmy. Goodbye."

The support agents arrived quite late, the ambulance came earlier. Jimmy talked to the emergency doctor about his request to have Black Wolf sent to a hospital in Brooklyn. It wasn't too much of an issue, although it's a bit far.

Since he had to wait for the support agents, Jimmy could only let the ambulance go to the hospital on its own, but he specifically requested that they must not unhandcuff him unless there are FBI agents by their side to protect them.

The support agents who arrived on-site stayed to handle things while arranging for a tow truck to tow Black Wolf's car back for inspection. Jimmy finally had time to go to the hospital, he called two people to accompany him, as they still needed to guard Black Wolf at the hospital.

In the afternoon, another suspect who had already woken up was escorted to the detention center. The follow-up investigations could take their time. After arranging the two agents, Jimmy checked on Mark before leaving the hospital to go home and rest.

Early the next morning, Jimmy returned to Federal Square and went to see Ruiz first.

Ruiz: "Is it all sorted?"

Jimmy nodded with a smile, "We've captured the person, and the gun has been recovered."

Ruiz: "Then let's quickly handle the shooting case, someone pressed us about it again last night."

Jimmy: "Really? Who was it this time?"

Ruiz shook his head helplessly: "There's nothing we can do, large-scale shootings are still rare in New York, and with two consecutive shooting incidents, it's a big deal. The governor's side has also sent people over to inquire about the investigation progress."

Jimmy: "Give me a bit more time, I'll interrogate the drug dealer today. The shooters previously bought drugs from his side. If there's a breakthrough, we might be able to find their gathering places."

Ruiz nodded: "Go ahead, handle the case as quickly as possible. By the way, the OPR has already found out about Mark losing his gun."

Jimmy sighed. There were too many people in the command center when the incident occurred yesterday, and he has no idea who was so talkative. Now Mark's in trouble. Fortunately, he acted quickly enough to retrieve the gun; had it been really lost and irretrievable, Mark's record would've had a blemish.

Jimmy turned and left Ruiz's office, heading back to the Homicide Team office. "Julia, come with me to the hospital today. The drug dealer Mark was tracking has already been captured."

Julia: "Right now? I still need to sort the information, we have some intel on the amusement park shooter, Joseph."

Jimmy: "Do you have a specific location?"

Julia: "Yes, a bar. He left the bar the night before the amusement park shooting incident."

Jimmy: "Fine, is an hour enough?"

Julia: "Half an hour is enough."

Time flew by as Julia sorted and investigated the bar's information before handing it over to Jimmy.

Julia: "Old Sea Eagle Bar, owner Michael Wright, a local of New York, former Navy, located at Bass Beach, Brooklyn, with no criminal record.

I've had people investigate the surveillance around the bar. Recently, Joseph from the amusement park shooting incident appeared there several times. It can be judged this is a place he frequents."

Jimmy: "Alright, let's go to the hospital, we'll talk on the way."

Jimmy drove with Julia to the hospital. Black Wolf had already undergone surgery last night and was no longer in danger of life. Normally, they should wait at least until he is discharged to start the interrogation, but due to the urgency of the case, they had to start now.

Jimmy and Julia greeted the agents at the door and entered the ward. Black Wolf had already woken up and turned to look at Jimmy, not appearing very well.

Jimmy: "Black Wolf, I gave you a night to think. Have you made up your mind?"

Black Wolf stared at Jimmy without saying a word. Jimmy continued, "Don't expect your people to rescue you; your experience last night should be quite clear, right? You've been abandoned, and the Red Wolf Gang won't clash with us over you."

Black Wolf: "What do you want to know?"

Jimmy: "Julia, start recording. Your name, some veterans bought drugs from you, Joseph and Daniel, do you remember them?"

Black Wolf looked puzzled, "Joseph and Daniel? Wait a minute, did you say they're all veterans?"

Jimmy nodded, and Black Wolf blinked, suddenly widening his eyes with a smile, "I get it, the Felix Park shooting, right?"

Jimmy nodded again, and Black Wolf said: "I need a deal. I'll give you clues; you drop the investigation against me and let me go."

Jimmy frowned, this guy's mind is working fast. Black Wolf continued, "You stop pursuing the assault on the federal agent and I'll tell you about them. I think it's a pretty good trade."

Jimmy: "No, whether to prosecute you is up to the Federal Prosecutor's Office; I can't decide that."

Black Wolf said smugly: "That's your business; if you don't agree, I think it'll be quite hard for you to solve this case in a short time. Although I didn't participate in their activities, I do know where they used to gather. I've investigated my customers. Come on, let's make a deal."

It was a mistake, Jimmy didn't expect Black Wolf to catch the point so quickly. This guy is so smart, can't he go straight? Why be a street dealer...

Jimmy thought for a while, gestured for Julia to follow him, and left the ward. Outside, he called Ruiz, "Ruiz, there's a problem now. Black Wolf guessed that we're investigating the shooting case, and he wants to use the shooting case clues for a deal to drop the attack charges on Mark and let him go."

Ruiz: "Don't you have any leverage?"

Jimmy was speechless, "He got shot three times, he's still in the hospital, we can only do simple questioning, not much else."

There was silence from Ruiz's end for a while, then he said, "Deal with it yourself, prioritize solving the case above everything else."

Jimmy: "Got it."

After hanging up, Jimmy looked up Adam Maxwell's number from the Federal Prosecutors and gave him a call, briefly discussing the matter and asking him to come to the hospital in Brooklyn.

Adam arrived quickly, reaching Jimmy within half an hour.

Adam: "Jimmy, what's so urgent that you had to call me over?"

Jimmy: "You know about the Brooklyn Park shooting case and the amusement park shooting case, right? We found some clues, but the suspect has made a deal. He attacked our agent Mark yesterday, and now he wants to exchange shooting case leads for us not prosecuting him and releasing him immediately."

Adam: "That's impossible, assaulting a federal agent is a federal offense. He should be serving at least 10 years in prison."

Jimmy sighed: "There are too many eyes on the shooting cases now, we're under a lot of pressure."

Adam thought about it, unsure, and paced back and forth before finally nodding: "Let's talk to him."

Jimmy and Adam entered the ward, Julia stood beside them taking notes. Adam communicated with Black Wolf, ultimately agreeing to his deal, but only after the shooting case was solved would they let him go.

Black Wolf didn't delay, and directly provided his knowledge, "There is a Sea Eagle Club at Bass Beach, owned by Wright who is a middleman. The bar operates intermediary services, and many veterans find temporary jobs there.

I don't have much impression of the two involved in the shooting, but I happen to know that someone was recruiting veterans for work before the shooting. The recruiter was called Will, surely not his real name, but you should be able to find clues about him from Wright."

Jimmy: "Are you sure this Will is recruiting veterans for this case?"

Black Wolf: "No one can be sure, even the intermediary Wright wouldn't know the specific details of the task, but I can guarantee that if the two took the job to commit the crime, their source must be from there."
