Peter: "No, he used to be a field agent, and he served in the Special Forces before joining the FBI. He's very outstanding. Don't ever think of him as an ordinary desk job worker. I've known him for a long time, so don't underestimate him."

Jimmy nodded: "I understand. As long as he doesn't cause me trouble, I couldn't care less about him. How are things on your side?"

Peter: "Very normal, no issues. You know, the criminals we face generally aren't of that particularly dangerous type."

Jimmy: "I heard your current case-solving rate is over 80%?"

Peter nodded: "Neil is a good partner. With him, we indeed solve cases much faster. 80% should be right."

Jimmy: "I hope he doesn't make mistakes. I remember you said his supervision period is four years? It's almost over."

Peter nodded: "Once the time is up, he'll be free."

Jimmy: "Alright, enough of this. How are you and Elizabeth doing?"

Peter shrugged: "El? We're great. We've been married for years and are living quite an ordinary life."

Jimmy chuckled and pointed with his chin at Elizabeth at the bar: "Invite her over to chat, or else you'll be going home alone later."

Peter turned his head and looked over. Well, even though they just talked for a bit, a big fly had already sat next to Elizabeth.

Peter immediately got up and went over, hugged Elizabeth and kissed her: "Woody, give me two more drinks and send them to that table. El, do you want to chat with Jimmy for a bit? Over there."

He completely ignored the fly next to Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked at his calm exterior and wanted to laugh a bit, nodded, took her glass, and went over to the table where Jimmy was sitting. As for the big fly who tried to talk to her just now, no one paid any attention to it anymore.

Elizabeth: "Hi, Jimmy." She came over and hugged Jimmy, "Your bar looks nice."

Jimmy: "The bar was set up by the previous owner. I haven't made any changes since taking over. How is it? Any advice? I know you're in the exhibition business, so you must have some experience in this area."

Elizabeth: "Nothing much, it's quite good. Can this place host events?"

Jimmy: "Of course, they held a party here not long ago. If you need anything in the future, just contact the manager Isaac or Woody here."

Elizabeth looked at Peter, her expression a bit playful. Peter immediately explained: "It's not what you think, it was for a case, Neil's idea, and Jimmy just provided the venue."

Elizabeth patted Peter: "I didn't say anything, why are you in such a hurry to explain."

Watching them show affection, Jimmy had only himself to blame, "Alright, you guys continue drinking, I have to leave now. Goodbye, Peter, Elizabeth."

Jimmy got up, hugged Elizabeth to say goodbye, told Woody to put Peter and their expenses on his tab, and then left the bar.

Peter is the most well-informed among these people; not only is he capable, but more importantly, he is Hughes' early grooming successor. Even though it's not explicitly stated among the leadership, most can see it, so Peter can talk to them more than others, and his connections are correspondingly slightly better.

The reason Hughes hasn't retired even though he's at retirement age is because Peter can't win people's support yet, especially in the past two years, due to Neil Cavrey's presence, which significantly lowered the impression others had of Peter. It's just like Hughes said before, he cares too much about Neil.

However, regardless, in the Manhattan office, if they don't consider assigning someone from headquarters or another office, Peter is still the closest person to Hughes.

Since Peter gave Jimmy a reassurance, he felt a bit more at ease.

The next day, Jimmy was questioned again to supplement some previously unasked details. The OPR agent asked very thoroughly, and Jimmy could only explain according to the situation he had previously discussed with Ruiz.

This investigation went very smoothly, and it only took three days for OPR's findings to be released.

During this shooting case investigation phase, due to unauthorized use of personal connections to investigate a suspect's phone number location information, Ruiz received an internal warning. Of course, as Ruiz had told Jimmy, if asked about the details, just push it onto Ruiz, and then Ruiz would be out of luck.

Without obtaining department authorization and a search warrant, Ruiz and Jimmy solely relied on phone location results and observations of lighting in the apartment building to determine the suspect's location, substantively directing the investigation team to raid the apartment to arrest the suspect, which involved procedural violations. Ruiz was internally suspended for a week, and Jimmy for two weeks, and removed from the field position, with a specific position awaiting further notification.

Emma's smuggling case investigation team raided the apartment to arrest the suspect, involving procedural violations, Emma and the on-site command personnel were given internal warnings.

Of course, the investigation and handling results of the shooting case itself will not be questioned. The two suspects were shot and killed, and the handguns found with them matched the ballistic fragments from Ryan and Derek's gunshot wounds, and their identities were confirmed.

Due to the smuggling case being a catch with both human and evidence, and being before their apartment raid, this part does not involve illegal handling of the case, so the investigation continued under Emma's leadership and was not affected by subsequent violations invalidating prior evidence.
