Chapter 121: A Familiar Enemy
Nearly everyone in the Solomon area says the rooftop of the hexagonal building is the greatest perk for CIA agents. Indeed, this intelligence agency, which is supposed to be cloaked in a cloak of mystery, is ostentatiously located at the top of the building. What's even more incredible is that this roof has also been used as the filming location for a phenomenal spy war blockbuster in country K.
"It seems that the scenery here is really good, and the view of the city is unobstructed from any angle. Caitlyn quietly walked over to Chiko's side and joined her in looking at the landscape of the southern region of Solomon.
"Why did you come to Solomon? Chiko, who still had tears in her eyes, clearly didn't welcome Caitlin's uninvited attitude.
"Remember the bet I made with you - whether Eric assassinated Jefferson? Caitlin said lightly.
"Remember, I will keep my promise. Chiko didn't have any excuse to excuse or refute, but instead had a more reasonable sense of relief in his heart, "I will go through the formalities, and I will also go to Japan." β
"That's not what I meant. Caitlin smiled and explained, "Although I won the bet, it turned out that Erick's fundamental intentions were the same as Drake's, except that Drake did exactly what Eric couldn't do." β
"You're saying that Eric is also like Drake - an outright extremist and fanatical fantasist?" Chiko didn't expect Catelyn's opinion of Eric to change so much.
"The two of us went to look for two different Eric that day, and I just happened to find the real Eric. Caitlyn then recounted her experience of meeting Eric.
"He-" Chiko was still reluctant to mention the name, "when did it become like this." β
"To be precise, he hasn't changed at all. Caitlyn corrected, "He and Derek are the same kind of people, with resentment and hatred for the world, and unrealistic illusions about the future of the world." β
"Really?" Chiko replied perfunctorily, but in his mind, he was still haunted by the suspicion that Eric had killed his father, Jefferson, and sometimes, in the middle of the night, Chiko had imagined that if he hadn't suspected Eric and had not been rudely imprisoned, he would not have been able to take advantage of Drake.
"Don't you believe it?" Caitlyn could see through Chiko's mind, "If you don't believe it, why don't you witness it yourself?"
Hearing this name, Chiko couldn't help but clench her fists. This man, who looks exactly like Eric, has become a lingering shadow and nightmare in Chiko's heart.
"Do you know what Mrs. Hudson has to say to you?" said Caitlyn mysteriously, abruptly diversioning the subject.
"What?" at the mention of this lady, a strange feeling of warmth always welled up in Chiko's heart.
"She asked me to tell you that everyone must have the courage to accept the truth, because the truth is the truth, no matter how you reject and escape, it will always be there, and the important thing is to see the meaning behind the truth. Caitlin repeated unhurriedly.
Chiko didn't respond to Caitlyn, as a detective had told her something similar. Chiko took a deep breath and shouted loudly from the roof of the Hexagon. In an instant, people in front of the Hexagon looked up one after another, and many people were whispering suspiciously-it seems that there is no crew stationed in the filming recently, otherwise who would dare to step on the roof of the CIA's office floor and call out recklessly.
"How's it going, have you thought it through?" Caitlyn asked, but she already had a clear answer in her mind.
"Hopefully this is not my last action. Chiko smiled brightly, turned her head sideways, and suddenly asked, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Hudson didn't say anything else?" β
"Women don't need to be known to a man like Director Thompson. Caitlin blinked like a girl.
The next morning, the Commonwealth Bank was as busy as usual, and no one noticed that there was an inconspicuous container truck in the parking space opposite the bank. And in the container of this car, there are elite agents of the CIA of country K. At noon yesterday, these people all received an S-class mission at the same time, and the leader of this mission turned out to be a rookie agent who was still recovering. Therefore, everyone was puzzled by this order, and this atmosphere of confusion was slowly fermenting and permeating the container.
"Is there any movement?" asked Chiko, who was becoming a commander for the first time, to Agent Riley, who was in charge of information surveillance.
"Nothing special. Agent Riley didn't want to explain too much, but for the sake of Director Thompson, for the sake of fellow female agents, he continued, "Actually, there are no holes in the security system of the Commonwealth Bank. β
"The more solid it is, the easier it is to shatter with a single blow. Chiko vaguely explained that if Riley and Eric had worked together for a while, they wouldn't have had so much confidence in the Federal Bank, not to mention that now Eric had a Puffer Soros Drake on his side with the same ability - the perfect combination of the perfect killer and the perfect detective.
"Duke, check the security of our communications system, I need to monitor it at all times. Chiko said again to a black man. So far, Arris's whereabouts are still unknown, so Chiko has to be one hundred percent vigilant about her communications and computer security, because no one knows when this little genius hacker will slip into their vulnerability.
"How. Chiko's voice rang out from Caitlin's headset. At this time, Caitlin was in a van of the United Bank of K. According to Cairtlin's information, the item Felix confessed was in the private safe of one of the two banks. But I don't know if it's a coincidence or intentional, the two banks, one in the eastern part of the Solomon region and the other in the southern part of the Solomon region, happen to be-for-tat rivals.
"There are no anomalies here at the moment. As he spoke, Qianzi also compared the images of several surveillance screens.
"I'm the same here, it seems like it's calm before the storm. Unlike Chiko's busyness, Caitlin sat on a chair and drank coffee leisurely, which made the surrounding CIA agents of country K wonder from the bottom of their hearts whether the agent in front of him was really from the same name as them.
"Commander, look. Agent Riley switches the home screen to the main entrance of the Commonwealth Bank. The people who came in and out of the bank began to show surprise, and then the guards on duty at the gate took out their electric shock batons and rushed into the bank.
"This voice isβ" Chiko immediately yelled into the radio, "Group A, Group B, stand by place, stand by place, Group C replied, what happened." β
At this time, all the agents in the container cast questioning glances at Chiko. While the surveillance subjects were alarmed, their commander remained unmoved. You know, for agents, every millisecond counts.
"Nothing, it seemed like an alarm clock went off in a Commonwealth Bank safe. Team C's reply proved Chiko's correct judgment at the time, and won her the trust of the other agents.
"Check who deposited this alarm clock and when. Chiko decisively gave the next order. And this series of actions, naturally, reached Caitlin's ears through wireless networking. This was what surprised Caitlyn, she didn't expect that the rookie agent, who had been very impulsive a week ago, would suddenly become very calm.
"The results are in. Three minutes later, the alarm clock's intelligence message was fed back to Agent Riley's home screen, "The alarm clock's personal safe is registered as Grace Group, the third-largest securities company in the Solomon area. β
"The securities company rents a safe to put an alarm clock?" After Qianzi heard it, he was very puzzled at once.
"Herein lies the problem. Riley retrieved a deposit file from the safe, "It was supposed to be a 100 million international bond, but I don't know when it turned into an alarm clock." β
"What's the clue about this alarm clock. Chiko continued.
"It's a revamped electronic alarm clock that seems to take in a single signal β wellβlike a cell phone β to start the alarm clock's ringtone. Agent Riley struggled to explain it succinctly.
"But the Commonwealth Bank's private safe is supposed to be isolated, and how they did it. Agent Riley was puzzled.
"Check the safe patrol schedule. Chiko's headset came Caitlyn's suggestion.
"I see. Agent Riley immediately understood the problem when he retrieved the information about the patrol schedule. Just a second before the alarm clock went off, according to the patrol system, a patrol officer entered the safe storage area, and the receiving signal was sent from the mobile phone on the officer's body.
"Isn't it incredible? Chiko patted Riley on the shoulder and smiled.
"This method is really not something that ordinary people can think of. Riley shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"But agents are never ordinary people. "And now we're dealing with two high-functioning sociopathic maniacs, and anything impossible can happen, let alone triggering an alarm clock in the safe, even if it's triggering one*, I wouldn't find it unusual." β
"You know both of them well?" Riley asked cautiously.
"Of course, one of them killed my father, the other nearly killed my life as an agent, and I couldn't be more familiar with them. β
