Ashi entered the coffee shop, glanced left and right, then walked toward a table in the corner on the left side of the coffee shop where someone was already seated. Ashi ordered a cup of coffee, and the two started chatting. Ashi also took notes in a notebook from time to time.

Due to the angle of the surveillance, it was nearly impossible to see the person's features; only their hairstyle and the general shape of their face were visible, which also related to the clarity of the videotape.

Ashi and the man talked for 13 minutes, after which the person sitting across from Ashi stood up and left the coffee shop. Ashi continued to sit at the table and waited another five minutes before leaving.

Jimmy paused the videotape and said to the owner Mike, "Mike, can you convert this videotape? If not, we might need to take this tape away, but of course, we'll return the original to you after making a copy."

Mike waved his hand, "Take it away, just remember to bring it back. I don't know what case this is, but since the FBI is involved, it must be serious."

Jimmy was entirely taken aback by Mike's reasonableness. He knew how tough New Yorkers could be, having been in New York for so long and having handled many cases, few of which went smoothly, and some even demanded payment.

Jimmy shook hands with Mike and bid him farewell, "Thank you for your cooperation. Goodbye, Mike."

Jimmy picked up the videotape, nodded to Joey, and the two left the coffee shop. "Joey, did you remember the time that person left?"

Joey: "I remember."

Jimmy: "I think we also need to check the videotapes from the surrounding shops to see which direction and location that person left in. Do you want to join? Or would you rather take the tape back first?"

Joey thought for a moment: "Let's investigate directly. That person went right after leaving, so let's look this way."

Jimmy: "Okay, let's continue, and see if we can find any clues."

Jimmy and Joey also walked to the right at the exit of the coffee shop and after inquiring in two stores, they learned that the person had entered a nearby parking lot, and then there was no more video available for review. The parking lot did have surveillance, but it had been out of order for a while and had not been repaired, leaving them without any leads.

Sometimes it's hard to define luck; on one hand, a good lead just disappeared, but on the other, they had easily obtained the coffee shop's videotape without any mishap.

The two were helpless and could only drive straight back to the office. Although they didn't know who the person was or how he had left, they at least had his phone number for investigation, hoping to pin down his location.

Back in the office, Jimmy handed the videotape to Gordon. No matter what, they were ultimately responsible, and Jimmy could help with the details, but key decisions were still up to Gordon.

Jimmy sat in the conference room, Gordon played the video. After watching the surveillance footage, Jimmy also mentioned his and Joey's subsequent investigation of the videos, and then it was up to Gordon's plan.

Gordon paused the video, placed his hands on the table, and said, "We might need more manpower for this investigation. According to the current clues, the person who met with journalist Ashi might be a member of the team, although we still don't know why he chose to expose the plan, but at least from what we can see, this bombing attack is indeed a possibility."

Scott: "Gordon, are you sure? If that's the case, things might completely get out of our control."

Gordon: "It's not about who controls it, we need more information and must have cooperation from other agencies. That's settled then, I'll contact the DC headquarters to see their opinion."
