Half an hour later, Snakeeyes came out of the room. 81Ξ”Chinese Ξ”η½‘γ€Ž.Ξ”81z. and a familiar black man at the door smiled and bumped his fist, then turned around and walked to the side of the road, opened the door and got into the car.

"Why has it been so long?" said Crazy Horse with a frown.

"It's not easy to convince them. Snakeeye shook his head, "Street gangsters have the philosophy and street wisdom of street gangsters. But the good news is that I've got what I wanted. ”

"Why, do you know the strategist's address?" Crazy Horse whispered.

"Not that convenient, just a phone call. These black marketeers will call them when something arrives. Snakeeye pulled out a piece of paper. "It's a prepaid, one-time mobile phone that is not registered, and even Cobain is difficult to trace. ”

"Either way, it's a reward. Crazy Horse moved the car and drove back with Snakeeyes.

After returning to their temporary residence, Lin Rui and Jiang'an had also returned. "Boss, there's a show. Snakeeyes handed him the piece of paper with the number on it, "This is their receiving number." The Russian was cautious and left no more traces. ”

Lin Rui took the phone number and said, "Can I check this?"

"It's not very clear, I'll have to ask Cobain, but it should be difficult to track down this kind of call. Shogishi frowned.

"Contact him, no matter what, it's always good to give it a try. Lin Rui nodded.

Shogishi nodded and turned on the tactical computer to contact Cobain on St. Kaiser Island, and soon they established a satellite connection. Cobain listened to his report and was silent, as if thinking about something.

"How about Cobain, can you crack and track down this call?" Lin Rui asked.

"This ...... Let's be honest, this communication network is not the same as cracking a web server. "I'm not an expert on this, but even a communications expert can't do much. ”

"So it's useless for us to take this phone number, can't we find this person?" Lin Rui frowned.

"I can't help it, but there's one person who can do it. And I can find him, and you may talk to him with Israel. Cobain whispered.

"Oh, who is it?" Lin Rui said a little strangely.

"A technologist, this guy is Ricky, who used to work for AT&T. It was an American telecommunications company that had a monopoly on the U.S. telecommunications market for a time. The company is also currently one of the top three telecommunications providers in the United States. The strength is very strong, and it is often seen that their names appear on the list of the world's top 5oo. Cobain replied.

"This Ricky is from the telecommunications company, with this, he can help us find Maklovsky?" Lin Rui frowned.

"The thing that Ricky can help us with is not that he's a senior engineer at a telecommunications company. Rather, he was in charge of an intelligence project in the National Security Agency, and he was one of the designers of it. This intelligence project is called Project Prism. A top-secret electronic surveillance program initiated by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) under the official name US-984XN. Cobain replied.

"Project Prism?!So, this guy is one of the designers of Project Prism?" said Shogishi in surprise.

"Yes. Project Prism provides in-depth monitoring of instant communications and existing data. Permitted snooping includes any customer outside the U.S. who uses the services of a participating company, or any U.S. citizen who communicates with a person abroad.

The NSA has access to data in the PRISM program, such as emails, video and voice conversations, videos, photographs, VoIP conversations, file transfers, login notifications, and social network details.

With this plan, you can get access to a large number of personal chat logs, stored data, voice communications, file transfers, personal social network data. The U.S. government confirmed that it did require U.S. telecommunications companies to provide millions of private phone records, including the length of the personal call, the location of the call, and the phone numbers of both sides of the call. Cobain replied.

"I've heard about this, and in 12 years this program was exposed by a former employee of theirs, and this surveillance program of the U.S. government caused a great sensation. However, I heard that the project should have been forced to close. Lin Rui frowned.

"It's true that some of it was closed, but it was just for the sake of it, and most of the planning is actually going on. Locking down a phone with a phone number you've never called might be hard to do in other countries, but you're in the United States. Look for Ricky, and you'll be able to find out who has the phone. I'll give you Ricky's address. Luckily, he's right next to you. Cobain tapped on the keyboard and suddenly frowned, "Damn, that's a bit of a problem." ”

"What's the matter, isn't he in Virginia, or isn't he even in the United States?" said Jiang An a little helplessly, "If that's the case, we won't have much choice, we don't have much time to find this person, so we might as well just wait where we are." Maybe the black marketeers will arrive in a few days, and we'll still be able to find them. ”

"But then we're going to waste a few days. And now every minute counts for us. Yelena whispered.

"It's not like that, listen to me. This guy named Ricky is currently near you, and it's close. But it can be a hassle for you to find him. Because he's now in Quantico, the FBI's training center. After Project Prism was discontinued, he was supposed to have been recruited as a surveillance instructor.

Of course, several of his colleagues were also recruited by the C.I.A. and the NSA, because they were valuable to the intelligence agencies. Cobain replied.

"So this Ricky is currently in the FBI's FBI's National Academy at Kuantico?" Lin Rui frowned, "If we want to find him, we have to sneak into the academy?"

"Yes, I can't think of any other way to get close to him. Because it is almost completely cut off from the outside world. Cobain whispered. "It's hard to meet him, and I don't know if he'll say yes to you. It's the FBI's turf, their training center. If he doesn't agree, you can't force him. ”

"I think it's worth a try, we can pretend to be an FBI agent and ask him to help look up this phone number. He served in this department, and presumably he would not refuse. Shogishi replied.

"Can this work?" Lin Rui frowned, "What if it is exposed, will this alarm the Marklovsky gang? These are all questions that we need to consider carefully. ”
