Investigation Stalled at an Impasse

In the afternoon, Jimmy returned to the station, but all the suspects they investigated today had been cleared. Now, only one person from Orange County remained, along with Mike Jennings, who had moved and left no trace.

Then, what Jimmy couldn't stop thinking about was the information provided by Ruiz: Manny Morley had been missing for over a month, and he had taken two handguns with him, a very dangerous signal.

Jimmy turned on his computer and entered the FBI database to search for detailed information on these two individuals, hoping to find other clues.

The Mike Jennings who had moved had no current address or employment information in the system. Jimmy felt a bit numb. It truly wasn't there; it wasn't that he had missed it the last time. This meant if he wanted to continue the investigation, he would need help from others, as his own authority was insufficient.

The data on Manny Morley remained unchanged as well.
