Jimmy clicked the remote, and the TV wall at the front of the conference room played the prepared PPT.
Jimmy: "As for Senator Pratt's personal information, I won't go into detail as everyone should be aware. The Senator was shot by his former colleague, former Washington Police Department officer James Bennett, at the Empire State Building. This is the murder weapon he used, along with a diagram of the scene."
Jimmy provided a detailed account of the situation at the scene and the results of the FBI investigation, while presenting the evidence recording obtained by Prosecutor Adam Maxwell at the hearing, although he did not play it.
Finally, he opened a warrant, "This is the murder suspect James Bennett. We have already issued a nationwide warrant and hope to apprehend the killer quickly."
After the presentation, Jimmy stayed on James Bennett's warrant, "It's question time now."
Reporter: "Excuse me, spokesperson, previously you identified an FBI agent as a suspect, does confirming James Bennett as the suspect mean that the previous suspect has been cleared as the murderer in this case? Can you provide information about the suspect?"
Jimmy: "We have sufficient evidence proving that this case is the work of James Bennett, so he is our sole suspect at the moment, and we will issue a warrant for him alone. As for the previously apprehended suspect, they have been released without charges."
Another reporter: "Excuse me, spokesperson, you mentioned earlier that the Senator and Bennett were competing for a box. Can you tell us what's inside?"
Jimmy: "It contained evidence from previous cases, which is irrelevant to the current case, so we will not disclose its content."
Reporter: "Can you hint at the cases the evidence involves?"
Jimmy: "Sorry, those cases still require investigation, and there is currently no conclusion, so we cannot provide related information for now."
The allegations of corruption involving the Senator and the history of crooked police, Jimmy was not inclined to disclose such things at his own press conference; it could easily lead to problems.
As time passed, Jimmy's initial tension had completely disappeared; in fact, unless pushed, one never knows how much pressure they can withstand.
After the press conference ended, Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief. After leaving the conference room, he loosened his suit buttons, relaxed his tie, and carried the materials back to his office. At this moment, a drink would be nice, but unfortunately, his office didn't have any.
In the evening, Jimmy went to Hughes' home as scheduled and met Hughes.
Hughes seemed to be in a good mood, patting Jimmy on the shoulder, "Well done, have a seat."
Jimmy also smiled back at him: "Thank you, how are things with Director Karaway?"
Hughes, walking towards the fridge, said: "It's sorted, but there was a bit of an unexpected situation. Peter made too big a mistake previously." He opened the fridge, took out two cans of beer, and handed one to Jimmy.
Jimmy reached out to take a can, frowned looking at Hughes: "What happened? Shouldn't Peter take over her position after Karaway left?"
Hughes popped the tab, took a shallow sip before saying: "Peter put Neil Cavrey's electronic anklet on his own leg and was caught by Karaway on the spot, he was suspended ahead of time.
In a few days, he will be reinstated and temporarily act as the field supervisor."
Jimmy sipped his beer, listened to Hughes' words, paused to think: "And then? It shouldn't be that easy to resolve, right?"
Hughes nodded: "He will be reassigned, transferred to Washington, D.C."
