Jimmy had been observing Bourne. He rummaged around in Watson's office, then picked up the phone, hung up after a while, and then squatted down and opened the safe under the cabinet at the back. Jimmy had seen this safe before. He had been to Watson's office more than once or twice and scanned all the objects in the office without Watson noticing at all.
Byrne took something out of the safe, put it in his backpack, turned and left Watson's office.
"Bang bang" two gunshots were heard, and Jimmy changed his mind. The gunfire just now came from the direction of the command center. Jimmy saw a person rushing towards the glass door. The gunshot just now should have been fired at the glass. Looking at the figure After breaking the glass, Jimmy found out it was Kerry.
Kerry ran straight to Watson's office and quickly picked up his cell phone to make a call. Then there was chaos in the building. There were many people running from downstairs to upstairs. They couldn't wait for the elevator and went downstairs directly from the fire stairs. , further down Jimmy can’t be seen.
Although he couldn't see it, Jimmy could still guess their response.
The current situation should be that the safe was opened, triggering some mechanism, letting Watson know that someone had entered his office, and then arranged for Kerry to check. Kerry found that the office safe had been opened and the contents were gone, so he naturally called Watson to notify Watson, and then began to arrange for everyone to block the building, and even blocked the surrounding blocks.
The Counter-Terrorism Bureau is nominally part of the DHS Department of Homeland Security. There is not much problem in briefly blocking a block. Jimmy is not surprised, but it is obvious that they are going to fail, because when Kerry ran to Watson's office, Bourne had already ran away. , with this time difference, it was enough for him to leave the building and run outside.
Jimmy didn't take the initiative to get up and come out. The building was almost empty now, leaving only the people in the command center and a few people in some offices. If he came forward now, he would most likely be asked to assist them.
Obviously this is an internal CIA matter. Jimmy waited in the office for a long time, but he didn't receive a call, and no one came to see him. It seems that Watson thinks this is their CIA matter, and there is no need for Jimmy, the FBI, to intervene, so Jimmy I can only watch them busy in the command center with my heart.
The busiest person was obviously Kerry, the only person standing. Although Jimmy could only roughly guess from his size, Kerry should be the only one with command authority on the scene.
After waiting for a while, before noon, Ma Hong called first and asked about Jimmy's situation. He didn't go to work normally today. Ma Hong didn't see anyone until noon. He had to call to confirm. If there was another attack or something, then the day would never end and he would have to be ruthless.
Fortunately, he learned that Jimmy was arranged by Hughes to handle some matters. Although it was a bit disrespectful to bypass Mahone, he could also understand that people like Jimmy definitely occupied a place in Hughes's heart. To arrange the task in this way, it must be him.
When lunch time came, Jimmy didn't even go downstairs to have lunch. He kept waiting in the conference room. Except for going to the bathroom, he never left the conference room.
Hughes' call came anyway. There was no news from Jimmy all morning. Even the calm Hughes was a little worried about Jimmy's situation. After learning that there was an emergency on Watson's side, he left. Jimmy had been waiting in the conference room. After waiting for a long time, Hughes said nothing and asked Jimmy to wait patiently.
Well, Jimmy was also feeling guilty. The note given by Hughes contained a phone number. He had already memorized this number. The biggest question now was, whose number belonged to him and could make Hughes so nervous? Let him handle it.
Jimmy believed that Hughes wanted to keep it secret, so he did not investigate with the FBI. Because the Counter-Terrorism Bureau has access to the National Security Agency of the United States, in theory, apart from directly applying to the NSA, the Counter-Terrorism Bureau is the easiest to investigate and find out the complete story. The data is somewhere.
I don’t know what taboo this person committed against Hughes, so that he was so targeted. Maybe Hughes will ask him to deal with something later. After all, he is already an old man, and it is probably awkward for him to handle any major issues personally. It is necessary to arrange action personnel.
After waiting for a while, Jimmy went downstairs to find a roadside food truck, got lunch, and then came back quickly. He didn't know what was going on with Watson, but Jimmy hadn't heard from them anyway.
Until night, Jimmy finally waited until Watson came back, but it seemed that Watson was in a bad mood. Maybe Bourne didn't catch him and ran away again.
After watching Watson return to the office, Jimmy got up and left the conference room and headed to Watson's office. When the office was invaded, Watson had to be given some time to tidy up. When Jimmy came outside Watson's office, Watson was already sitting on the chair.
"Dongdong" Jimmy knocked on the door, Watson looked up and greeted him into the office, "Please come in."
Watson: "Jimmy, are you still there? What's the matter?"
Jimmy: "Director Watson, Director Hughes asked me to come to you. He said he had already told you."
Watson was stunned for a moment, then nodded and Jimmy took the note out of his pocket and placed it on Watson's desk.
Jimmy: "Director Watson, Director Hughes wants me to go back with the information."
Something was obviously wrong with Watson and he was in a very bad mood, but he took a deep breath, nodded, picked up the landline and called Kerry.
Watson: "Kerry, investigate this number and give him the information."
Kerry nodded and asked Jimmy to leave Watson's office and go to the command center.
On the way, Jimmy asked casually: "Kerry, what happened today?"
Kerry shook his head: "I can't say."
The command center is still full of staff. In fact, the command center of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau is open 24 hours a day, and there are always people working in shifts, so there is no chance that they will come to the command center and find that no one can operate the system for investigation.
The mobile phone number was handed over to them, and the corresponding call records and location information were quickly retrieved from the system. Jimmy saw that the location of the phone displayed on the monitor was a little numb. He originally thought that the person Hughes was looking for should be in New York, which would be easier to handle, but the signal showed that he was actually in Albany.
The mobile phone number was an anonymous number, and there was no way to confirm the corresponding identity, but with the call records and address, it was considered to be the goal. Kerry arranged for someone to use a USB flash drive to save the recent call records for Jimmy. Jimmy took it and thanked him and left. , and also asked Kerry to help him pipe in to Watson.
Even though it was night, Jimmy didn't wait any longer. He drove directly to Hughes' house and gave the USB flash drive to Hughes in the study.
Hughes: "What's going on today? You've been at CTO all day?"
Jimmy: "I don't know what happened to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau today. When I arrived in the morning, they had already mobilized all their personnel, including Watson, leaving only Kerry and the people in the command center.
And a very strange thing happened. It seemed that the Counter-Terrorism Bureau had been invaded and something should have been lost, but no one told me what happened. I waited in the conference room all day, and Watson did not come back until the evening. "
Hughes frowned, considered for a while and shook his head, "There was no special terrorist attack today, no bombings, no mass shootings. The Counter-Terrorism Bureau should not have reacted like this."
He picked up the USB flash drive and turned on the computer, "Jimmy, wait for me outside for a while."
It seemed that Hughes wanted to keep these call records to himself. Jimmy shrugged and came to the living room. Hughes's wife poured him a glass of ice water. The two sat on the sofa chatting and watching boring TV series.
Speaking of which, this is Jimmy's first time to come to Hughes's home. He has been in New York for more than two years. It is his first time to come to the boss's place. It can be regarded as a successful entry into his small circle.
Hughes listened to some call records and came out to wave Jimmy to the study.
Hughes unplugged the USB drive from the computer and said, "Jimmy, let me tell you something now, about your being investigated by the OPR, being attacked, and being a mole."
Jimmy immediately sat up straight. A lot of his brain cells had really died in the recent period. Ever since the attack, it was a bit excessive to say that they were headless flies, but at that time there was indeed very little information and he could only rely on his own guessing. After investigating one possibility, they ended up making a mistake in the direction, and they turned a gang attack into a follow-up to a bombing attack.
Hughes told Jimmy what he had learned, including the behind-the-scenes factors mentioned by middleman Thomas.
Hughes: "This time DC's OPR team investigated the mole and his contacts, and the preliminary report they gave me was very unreliable. Derek is also an experienced veteran agent, and relying on a contact who knows nothing is It was impossible to bribe him, but he never said who was behind the scenes and only confessed a contact person.
The contact person, Pete Chambers, has always refused to provide information. He only provided an anonymous phone number and said that he had no idea who was on the other side of the phone. This was a complete hoax. As a middleman, there is no way he could do such a thing without knowing one party at all, so he must be lying.
The biggest problem lies in DC's OPR. There is definitely something wrong with their interrogation. We don't even rule out the possibility that they have an insider. They are no longer reliable. "
Jimmy crossed his hands and gradually tightened his hands. There were still few sources of information. If they had known about these behind-the-scenes stories, how could they waste so many days? Although Hughes added the attributive word "possible, certain" when he said it, Possible, but allowing Hughes to say it means that he has believed the results of his own speculation.
Hughes: "There are two more things. First, Thomas, the middleman who contacted me, is missing. I have found someone to investigate. No clues have been found so far. I suspect something has happened. His family has called the police, but the police investigation has found nothing. result.
Second, the person who contacted Thomas to come to me was Josh. It was said that he was from Congressman Blair. However, my people did not find this person. They only got a mobile phone number from a private channel and asked you to go to counter-terrorism. The bureau is investigating this. "
Jimmy: "I don't know much about politicians. Who is this Congressman Blair?"
Hughes shook his head: "Congressman Blair is a senior senator, this incident should have nothing to do with him, you don't need to consider him.
The key is to find that Josh. Thomas must have been confused by what happened this time. When he contacted me to dispose of the body, Josh arranged for someone to launch an OPR investigation against you. The subsequent attacks should also be related to him. , but no clues have yet been found to connect them. "
Jimmy nodded, "I understand."
Hughes: "Okay, that's about it. Before Josh is found, this attack can only be suspended for a while. Don't spend too much time on this and deal with other things."
Jimmy: "Hughes, can you give me a copy of the tape?"
Hughes: "I have already arranged for someone to investigate his identity, so there is no need for you to intervene."
Jimmy: "I won't do anything, Hughes, trust me, if I want to investigate, I will tell you in advance."
Hughes thought for a while, copied the recording to the computer, and returned the USB disk to Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Anything else?"
Hughes shook his head, Jimmy: "Then I'll go back first. Good night, Hughes."
------------------
Jimmy drove away from Hughes' home. This time things were a bit troublesome. He still needed to think about it carefully and sort out the twists and turns. There were too many things going on these days. He needed to sort them out before he could understand the time here. How are the lines arranged?
】
There is also Lu Yinzi. Hughes has just said that Lu Yinzi has been dealing with the mole's matter during this period. It can be said that apart from Hughes, Lu Yinzi has been the most involved.
After checking that it was not too late, Jimmy called Luyinz while driving and asked him to go out for a drink.
Jimmy had never done this kind of impromptu phone call to meet up for a drink. Fortunately, Lu Yinzi didn't seem to be at home. The background sound on the phone was still a bit noisy. It shouldn't be a problem if he came around the corner. big. Luyinzi did not refuse, but he just needed Jimmy to wait a little longer.
Jimmy parked the car in the parking lot and walked to the bar. There were still many people in the bar, and Jimmy's favorite seat in front of the bar was actually full.
Jimmy stood at the corner of the bar and knocked on the bar: "Woody, give me a drink."
Holding the wine glass, Jimmy came to a small round table near the corner, where he waited for Lu Yinzi. More than half an hour later, Luyinzi finally came over. Jimmy raised his hand to say hello, making sure that he would wait here after seeing him. Luyinzi also came over with a glass of wine.
Lu Yinzi: "You are really good at finding time. Tell me, why did you ask me to come over?"
Jimmy looked around, moved his chair and sat next to Luyinzi: "I went to Hughes's house tonight, and he told me about the mole and about me being investigated by the OP. You should know all of this, right? "
Luyinz nodded. He was not a talkative person. Although these matters were related to Jimmy, Hughes obviously didn't want Jimmy to handle them before, so he kept it a secret and never told Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Is there anything you need me to know?"
Luyinzi was drinking and thinking about what to say, because he didn't participate in the conversation between Jimmy and Hughes, and he didn't know how much Jimmy knew. "What do you want to know?"
Jimmy: "Who is in charge of OPR's investigation into me?"
Lu Yinzi shook his head: "What is certain at present is that Derek from OPR started an investigation on you after receiving the notice from the intermediary, but he did not do it himself. Instead, after communicating with Agent Fuller, he asked Fuller to led the investigation against you."
Jimmy: "Is Fuller a suspect?"
Luyinz: "No, judging from the results of the investigation, Fuller is not suspected. I suspect that he is only investigating you to make more trouble. I don't even rule out that he knows that Derek is going to I was investigating you and took the initiative to get the eucalyptus from Derek."
Jimmy's eyes widened: "I have no grudge against Fuller, right? Why are you targeting me?"
Lu Yinzi shrugged: "They are OPRs. If they want promotion and salary increase, they are destined to attack internally. I think you are just unlucky. You happened to meet him who is relatively idle now, and Hughes applied for a promotion for you, so... An internal investigation is needed. It’s all a scam anyway. It’s all credit to him if it’s done well. It won’t have any impact on him if there’s no solid evidence, so why not do it?”
