The videotape was already processed. It showed Ruiz and Jimmy at the corridor entrance all the way to their entrance into the underground bar hall. The footage after Ruiz entered the small room wasn't on the tape because that room had no surveillance. The testimony from that location was provided by the only person who survived inside the room and Ruiz in the hospital.

The clarity of the surveillance footage wasn't great. All you could see was Jimmy propping up against a high table without moving. Minutes later, Jimmy suddenly pulled out a Glock from his waist and shot at the two guards by the door. Then, he turned and hid behind a nearby pillar. Three people appeared from another side, and the footage showed Jimmy taking them down and then breaking into the small room to shoot two more people against the wall.

The second reel of videotape showed the same scene, but from a different angle and closer to Jimmy, revealing more details.

Hughes and Peter only knew that Jimmy was a good fighter, but they never actually saw him in action. This was their first time watching Jimmy's combat prowess and shooting techniques.

After the two tapes had finished playing, Ryan rewound the first tape. This time, he kept his hand on the controller, ready to pause at any time, to provide commentary on the footage and explain the situation based on the positions corresponding to the seven dead and what appeared in the video.

After acquiring the footage yesterday, Ryan had already communicated with the people in the Queens office because he needed to give a preliminary report to Hughes today. Thus, much had to be prepared in advance, and now it was time to showcase the information he had prepared beforehand.

Instead of continuing to discuss Jimmy's shooting movements, he based his explanations on the investigation of the bullet holes at the scene and the positions from which shots were fired in the footage, which they had already determined in advance, showing that not a single shot from Jimmy had missed.

In the direction where Jimmy fired, they found no bullets embedded in the walls or the ground, meaning all the bullets had hit human targets, some remaining inside bodies and some shattering and falling to the floor.

This was already quite surprising. Everyone was an FBI agent, and Hughes himself had risen from a junior agent—they were well aware of their normal ammo usage efficiency. To not waste a single shot was out of the question; under normal circumstances, agents typically emptied or nearly emptied their magazines in maximum output mode.

After explaining how Jimmy took down several people, Ryan rewound the tape to the beginning, where Jimmy killed the first two guards. "Moreover, I've found a quite peculiar aspect. Judging by the scene, Jimmy has his own unique shooting rhythm. See here."

Ryan paused the footage and began to play it in slow motion, "From here, Jimmy's firing rate was consistently double tap—one in the chest and one in the head. You can observe the muzzle flash here and the sequence of shots on this guard."

"The Mozambique Shooting Technique is generally two shots aimed at the chest. Using the brief rigidity after being hit to aim for and hit the head, utterly stopping any chance of a counterattack. Jimmy, it seems, is very confident in his marksmanship. After firing at the chest, he immediately raised his muzzle, and indeed, his shooting was excellent."

He fast-forwarded to the footage of the small room. "See here, Jimmy switched to a revolver before killing the last person. According to the testimony obtained from the captured individual and confirmed by the footage, it seems Jimmy was moving and searching for targets inside the room, managing to hit the forehead with a single shot, completing the kill."

Ryan paused the video and looked towards Hughes and the onlooking Peter, "Although this is my first time seeing this Jimmy, his appearance does not match at all with the behavior on the tape. He looks just like a young agent."

"This mental state, facing multiple opponents without the slightest disarray, the whole fight without any mistakes, is definitely above many SWAT members, and I even doubt if anyone from the HRT could achieve this. If it were me in that situation, chances are I'd be shot like Ruiz."

Hughes: "Hmm, you are right. Thank you, Ryan. We'll need you to come in again tomorrow to participate in the inquiry into Jimmy. You can go back and get prepared."

Ryan nodded his head, stood up, and started packing up the videotapes and the materials he had brought with him.

Hughes turned to look at Peter: "Don't leak any of this for the time being."

Peter nodded, exiting the conference room through the back door to return to his office.

Hughes stood up from the conference room and went back to his office to start convening members for tomorrow's inquiry session. This time, besides involving Jimmy's shooting, there was also Ruiz being shot, so it couldn't just be dealt with internally like before.

Jimmy met with the intermediary again, feeling somewhat guilty for having him run around several times without securing a house for Jimmy, which was a bit embarrassing. Due to the long interval, there had been some changes in the housing options, so after making a new selection, the intermediary once again went to adjust Jimmy's documents.

After receiving the notice from Hughes, Jimmy arrived early at the office the next day, waiting in the pantry for their summons.

"Jimmy, come here." Hughes called out to Jimmy from the second floor, hooking his fingers twice and then turning into the conference room. Jimmy stood up, buttoning up his suit and straightening his clothes before walking upstairs to the conference room.

"Good morning, everyone."

"Jimmy, place your weapons on the table." Hughes did not let Jimmy sit down but first gave him a surprising command.

Jimmy removed his Glock holster from his belt, placed it on the table, then drew out the revolver and set it alongside before unbuttoning his suit jacket and sitting next to the conference table. Across from him wasn't a tribunal but rather five people sitting directly, and another person at the other end of the table with paper, pen, and a laptop, clearly there to take notes.
