The FBI Takes Action Again!
Clearly, J.A.R.V.I.S. was behind all of this. If he hadn't prioritized the truly useful surveillance videos, it would have taken several days to review all of them, even at fast-forward speed, and there was a high chance of missing anything.
With J.A.R.V.I.S., this wouldn't happen. Not only would useful videos be placed at the front, but even if officers were distracted and didn't notice the target, J.A.R.V.I.S. would control the screen to "freeze." The police station's computers weren't high-spec new machines; some were even over ten years old, so lag was perfectly normal. The officers remained calm, just waiting for a while. Upon inspection, they naturally discovered the problem.
With J.A.R.V.I.S.'s covert help and guidance, the investigation went surprisingly smoothly. They quickly identified the person with whom the industrial spy committed the theft by analyzing his call records, emails, bank transfers, and other information.
Even those who opted for on-site cash transactions were led by J.A.R.V.I.S. to the police's location, where evidence captured by distant security cameras was found.
Ultimately, several well-known anti-cancer drug manufacturers were implicated, and the investigations involving these well-known pharmaceutical companies located in other states and counties went beyond the scope of the Los Angeles police.
The United States police system is a typical local autonomous police system, with police agencies at the federal, state, city, and county levels, and each level of local government independently manages police affairs in its own jurisdiction.
Police forces in different cities, states, and even within the same state, are not under each other's jurisdiction. They are only responsible for their own local affairs and no one can control anyone else. Therefore, when cases involve cross-city or cross-state jurisdiction, local police have a hard time handling them. This is when federal police have to step in!
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), under the Department of Justice, is the largest and most important federal police agency in the United States. It is responsible for major and serious criminal cases that span across states and counties within the federal government. Therefore, this case was eventually transferred to the FBI Los Angeles office and ended up in the hands of Agent David, the head of the Criminal Investigation Department.
He was in charge of the case where the Italy Mafia in Los Angeles was wiped out overnight by "Deadpool," but in the end there was no conclusion. Not only did he fail to find the killer, but the leak of a suspect's image by one of his subordinates made "Deadpool" an overnight sensation, and he was severely reprimanded by his superiors for it.
David took this new type of drug theft case very seriously. The Los Angeles police had completed the preliminary investigation, found the suspect and the drug buyer who directly traded with him, and pointed the final target to several well-known pharmaceutical companies.
However, it only pointed to them; they weren't foolish enough to directly contact spies. Most of the transactions were completed through certain employees and In-Betweener. The evidence handed over by the Los Angeles police was not enough to convict the pharmaceutical companies.
Upon taking over, David immediately ordered a thorough investigation, determined to find evidence that several pharmaceutical companies had hired industrial spies to steal experimental drugs!
In contrast to the previous Mafia massacre, where the investigation into the killer "Deadpool" was completely fruitless and the leads had run out, this investigation into several pharmaceutical companies went surprisingly smoothly. Following the clues of the industrial spies who stole anti-cancer drugs and the people who traded drugs with them, the FBI quickly identified the top executives of several pharmaceutical companies.
However, David did not act rashly. Instead, he led his team to continue collecting clues and evidence, striving to prove the crime once and for all and not give the other party any chance to overturn the verdict or escape punishment.
Having spent so many years in the FBI, David knows these wealthy capitalists very well.
Under the legal system in the United States, the interests of wealthy capitalists are greatly protected. As long as they have money, they can hire the best lawyers to defend them and find ways to exonerate themselves.
In the United States, it is very rare for wealthy people to go to jail. Whether it is rape, sexual assault or murder, in most cases they are acquitted with the help of top legal teams. At most, they just have to pay more bail. It is very difficult to convict them.
Therefore, after the clues he had pointed to the senior management of several large pharmaceutical companies, David strictly controlled his team members to prevent them from leaking information and alerting the enemy.
After the "Deadpool" incident, David is even more concerned about secrecy; he doesn't want to become a laughing stock within the FBI again.
These capitalists have extensive networks of connections, and they might even extend their reach into the FBI. If their superiors put pressure on them, things could get very difficult.
However, although his team did not encounter any problems under his strict control, the Los Angeles police leaked the information.
On the same evening the case was handed over to the FBI, television reported new developments in the drug theft case, with clues pointing to several major pharmaceutical companies, who were likely directing industrial spies to steal the new anti-cancer drug that was in clinical trials.
"Damn it! Those greedy bastards!"
David watched the news report on TV and slammed his fist on the table!
He knew without a doubt that a police officer in charge of the case must have sold the information to the TV station. Given the current popularity of the case, this piece of information could easily fetch tens of thousands of US dollars!
Previously, the Los Angeles police were in charge, and they didn't dare to act recklessly. Now that the case has been handed over, some people can't resist the temptation!
However, this would alert the FBI, making them extremely cautious once they know they are being watched. It would then be much more difficult to find the stolen drugs and catch them red-handed.
"If he messes up my case, I'll personally put him in jail!"
David cursed as he got up and strode out of his office, heading to the common work area for his team outside.
He doesn't have time to investigate who leaked the information right now; his top priority is to gather all the evidence as soon as possible so that the mastermind behind it can't escape punishment!
"How's the investigation going?"
David glanced at his busy agents in the office area and asked the nearest sharp-looking Mister Fantastic in his thirties.
"Boss, everything went very smoothly. We've found enough evidence to definitively sever four of the companies, and the other one is almost there too!"
David was taken aback when he heard this. So fast?
Just a few hours ago, they had only identified a few pharmaceutical company executives. In just one afternoon, without even leaving their homes, they found evidence and sealed their fate.
Are you sure?
