Mahone lost a gunman here. He could only go back and continue to investigate the previous mobile phone. The corresponding recording had been obtained from the NSA (National Security Agency), but the content of the call was very simple. When the landline called, he just said When he went to New York, he had a mission, and the anonymous cell phone only informed him to pick up things.
The only valuable thing is a mini warehouse.
Mahone took people directly to the yacht terminal at the southern end of Manhattan and obtained the surveillance video from the mini warehouse operating company. Although there was no video at the entrance of each warehouse, at least the surveillance could see the video at the entrance and main channel.
According to the call time, Mahone and the others determined the whereabouts of the gunman based on surveillance, and eventually found the location of the warehouse where he picked up the equipment. The DHS Department of Homeland Security came forward without even applying for a search warrant. The warehouse operating company had arranged for someone to contact the warehouse lessee and opened the warehouse for them to investigate.
Before the investigation into the warehouse was completed, something went wrong on the lessee's side. The phone number left by the lessee could not be contacted. The detective who went to check the address left by the lessee also responded that there was no such person at all.
Again, this kind of fake identity is so common in the United States that no one is surprised when this happens. In this case, there is actually good news. Although the mobile phone cannot be reached, the mobile phone number can still be investigated.
Through the NSA's investigation, it has been determined that the mobile phone number is an anonymous mobile phone, and it is now turned off. All that's left is to wait for the NSA to try to find the previous records. At the same time, Ma Hong and the others also arranged for someone to copy the video and go back to investigate the people who went to the warehouse to see if they could determine who sent the equipment to the gunman.
The progress of the investigation is still very smooth. The person who sent the equipment has been identified, and the direction in which he came has been investigated through the entrance surveillance. If we continue to investigate according to the road surveillance, we can basically find this person.
So far, the investigation is going well. Although there are not many clues, it has exceeded the previous progress.
Of course, this is not the only good news. The investigation by dhs has also produced preliminary results.
The DHS detectives went directly to the lobbying company to investigate. This was a small lobbying company with only a dozen people. There were not many people, so the investigation was more convenient.
A person from the lobbying company disappeared a few days ago and the company could not be contacted. The disappeared employees became their primary target. While breaking into his home, something special was discovered in one room.
In a hidden room, there is a worship room decorated with Green Sect-related items. There is also a satellite phone and a small radio station here. The frequency of the radio station has been adjusted to the police channel. When you turn it on, you can receive the DC police. communication.
"Bernard Cornwell, 35 years old, single, an employee of a lobbying firm, disappeared a few days ago and has been unable to be contacted by the firm. We found a worship room from his home where his colleagues They had never heard that he believed in the Green Religion and found some clues from the room.
At the same time, we investigated Jimmy's previous crimes. One of the crimes related to them has never been completed. Noor Mohammed, the mastermind of the explosion, has not been caught since he fled to Paris.
Judging from the evidence available so far, it is possible that he contacted people in the country to carry out retaliatory actions. "
DHS agents summoned Mahone and the others in the conference room to announce the investigation results from Washington DC. They also shared their speculations, which were consistent with Jimmy's speculations when he was first attacked.
Ma Hong and the others looked at each other, this seemed a bit too far-fetched.
Ma Hong pointed to the evidence displayed on the conference room screen and asked: "Can the records of the satellite phone be found?"
The DHS detective shook his head: "This mobile phone is not from our country, but from Europe. There are certain difficulties in cross-border investigation and recording." It's not that there are certain difficulties, but there is no need for investigation at all.
The detective continued: "No weapons were found in Cornwell's home. His bank account information has been contacted and retrieved. No abnormal funds have been found yet. We suspect that he may have other accounts. Now the headquarters has arranged for someone to We are investigating him and hope there will be other clues.”
Mahone and the others continued to question the evidence at Cornwell's home, and ultimately could only temporarily accept the speculations of the dhs detectives and others, and arranged for people to start investigating from this aspect. As for whether Ma Hong believes it or not, only he can know this.
------------------
Jimmy finally said goodbye to the dietitian's liquid diet. The doctor has checked and approved that he can resume his daily diet and can finally eat meat.
After the wound recovered, Jimmy started to exercise again. This period of recuperation really made him a lot weaker. If it weren't for the nutritious meals, he must have gained weight.
While in the gym, Jimmy received a call from Mahone. Jimmy was shocked by the preliminary findings of dhs. Why did this turn back again?
What kind of hell did he hit? Now it is basically clear that the first two attacks were arranged by the white gloves of the congressmen. If the last one was arranged by the mastermind of the bombing, what about the two middle ones?
His head was about to explode. Jimmy gave up the exercise. He took a rest and took a shower before returning to the hotel. He needed to contact Tom to see if there was any news from him.
------------------
Tom had already flown to Maryland. The shooting of eucalyptus in the Moranta Company laboratory was very problematic. From the news, there was nothing special about it, so Tom finally decided to go to the scene to investigate on his own.
Forging identities is already a basic skill for Tom. He pretended to be FBI and came to Moranta Company, rechecked the identity of the prisoner who shot the gunman, and then came to the home of Marta, the only woman who survived the shooting.
This is a small villa in the woods, but it is now in ruins. A fire broke out here. Firefighters found a female body from the villa, which was determined to be Marta herself.
Tom checked around the ruins and soon discovered some anomalies. There were many wheel marks in front of the villa. Considering that the firefighting and police arrived at the scene, these could also be explained. But I found some tire marks left by sudden braking and drifting on the road, which was abnormal.
The ruins have been destroyed, so there is basically no need to investigate. If it is as he thought, someone must have dealt with the ruins. Even if there are clues that can be found, it is likely that they deliberately arranged or left them of.
The traces on the road are better. They don't need to do anything here. In addition, whether it is the fire brigade or the police, they are unlikely to drive violently in this environment. So these traces can basically confirm that not long ago Here a drag racing chase takes place.
Marta, the only survivor of the shooting, may still be alive and escape.
Tom returned to the city and found a safe place to start investigating. If you didn't investigate, you wouldn't know that this company actually cooperates with many government agencies. At the same time, there was also a press conference just released in Washington a few days ago. A model has already entered the market. Experimental drugs that can improve physical performance and alleviate mental retardation.
This is related to the medicine they took in the Treadstone Project, and Tom's investigation finally came to fruition. They don't hold a press conference here in Maryland but go to Washington DC. It seems that their partner agency is over there in Washington DC.
Tom did not stay any longer and returned directly to Washington DC. In addition to continuing to investigate Moranta Company, another thing he did was that he received a text message and there was news from his teacher Mrs. Waltz.
After arriving in Washington DC, Tom drove to Mrs. Waltz's cabin in Virginia. Sam opened the door.
Tom: "Sam, teacher, has she rested?"
Sam: "Uncle Kodesky, grandma is waiting for you in the study."
Sam led Tom into the study, and he came out to prepare coffee and closed the door.
Mrs. Waltz sat behind the desk, looked up at Tom, and waved: "Tommy, come here."
There was no chair next to the desk, so Tom pulled a folding chair from the wall and sat next to Mrs. Waltz.
Tom: "Teacher, have you got any results from your investigation?"
Mrs. Waltz: "Well, I'm calling you here this time just to tell you these things. You can also tell that kid later, although he may not be able to accept this situation. If you don't tell me now, you don't know what will happen in the future." Is there any chance?"
Mrs. Waltz took a photo frame from the side. Inside was a group photo of several people. However, the people in the photo looked like young people, and the photo was old.
Mrs. Waltz touched the glass above the photo with her finger, "That happened decades ago, it has been too long. He is Veronica Durand's father, Harry Anderson. Does it sound familiar? "
Tom nodded and said nothing.
Mrs. Waltz: "The former deputy director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, died many years ago. The person who is going to deal with Veronica is our former deputy director Christian Gregg, and Anderson and Gregg were good friends."
Tom: "They are friends? Then why would he deal with Jimmy? He is Veronica's father."
Mrs. Waltz: "Veronica Durand was her mother's surname. Anderson knew of her existence during his lifetime, but never officially acknowledged it until his death.
Greg's wife and son both died in a traffic accident, but later it was learned from intelligence that someone had deliberately caused the accident, they were just involved, and the initiator of the accident was Anderson.
Greg fell into a trough after the death of his wife and children. Later, he went crazy when he checked the intelligence and found that Anderson's actions caused their deaths, but Anderson had already passed away at that time.
Later, there was a gas explosion in Anderson's house, and his family also died in the explosion. Although there is no evidence, but...
Greg retired not long after that and returned to Washington to retire. "
Tom: "So does Veronica's death have something to do with him?"
Mrs. Waltz: "I can't be sure, I can only say that it is possible. Only a few of us know that Veronica is Anderson's illegitimate daughter. I also arranged for Veronica to enter the company. It is possible for Greg I will do so, but again, there is no evidence.”
Tom: "I used your authority to check before. Someone will occasionally check Jimmy's file. Jimmy is Veronica's son. Could it be that Greg is also checking?"
】
Mrs. Waltz shook her head: "I can't judge. I have been away from the bureau for too long, but I have found some other information."
Mrs. Waltz handed Tom a piece of letter paper, "I asked someone about Jimmy's profile, and I also learned a little about the Treadstone Project he participated in. Although there are not many clues, it should be enough for you to investigate."
Tom looked at the intelligence on the paper, National Research and Analysis Group, head Rick, Washington DC.
Mrs. Waltz: "The Stumbling Stone Project was initiated by him. You can go and investigate. My people can't get his information."
Tom nodded, folded the paper and put it in his pocket.
After the serious conversation was over, Mrs. Waltz asked Sam to bring coffee in, and they began to chat casually about some past things. As people get older, they will always be a little wordy and have some memories of past events. Tom can just chat with Mrs. Waltz for a while.
The two also talked about Henry in Langley's secret archives. This old antique can be said to be Langley's living history. People in the same period died and retired, and he has always been the archives administrator, keeping the archives. The secret files in the bureau.
Of course, Henry cannot be arranged to retire. He knows too much. If he is actually arranged to retire, it will make people feel that someone wants to kill him.
Tom had a meal with Mrs. Waltz, then drove away and returned to his safe house.
There is a lot of information obtained this time and needs to be sorted out. It was also the first time that he knew about Veronica's life experience, and at the same time, he also felt very strange about Jimmy's bad luck.
Why do these things explode at the same time at this time? It's just weird.
Regarding the information given by Mrs. Waltz, since the National Research and Analysis Group was the initiator of the Treading Stone Project, it should have been his side that initiated the purge operation against the people in the Treading Stone Project.
So what's going on with Greg?
As a former deputy director, Greg has enough authority to investigate the relationship between Veronica and Jimmy. Veronica has been dead for several years, so why is he just starting to deal with Jimmy now?
Oh, no, it’s not certain that he was responsible for the attack on Jimmy.
Tom also couldn't figure out the situation. For so many years, Greg knew that Jimmy was Veronica's son, why didn't he take action before? According to his ability, anyone can find a way to kill Jimmy in a way that others cannot see.
Let’s put aside all the things that we can’t figure out for now, and let’s focus on that Rick.
Judging from the current situation, Rick is definitely the most suspect. If he can plan and advance the Stumbling Block Plan, then Moranta Company should also be related to him. Things that happened during this period are related. If Rick is the center, these can all be related.
The biggest question now is why the stumbling block plan needs to be cleared.
