After Rickell's murder, Lucas was transferred back to Langley's headquarters by Turner to take charge of the investigation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because of the high-level spy personnel directly used by Rickel, Lucas did not know what Rickel was doing. It was only after going through the investigative documents that Rickel had left in the CIA that Lucas realized that things were not that simple. When Turner asked Taiwan's National Defense Security Bureau to assist in the investigation, Lucas raised objections, arguing that Taiwan's National Defense Security Bureau was not clean and that doing so was tantamount to startling the snake.

Unfortunately, Turner didn't take his word for it.

Strictly speaking, Turner was not an intelligence officer, but an administrator.

As the world's largest intelligence agency, the position of the head of the CIA is crucial. Under normal circumstances, successive presidents will appoint someone who is absolutely trustworthy to sit in this position after taking office. What the director of the C.I.A. has to do is to manage the intelligence agency for the president. Since the director is mainly responsible for administrative management, all the work related to intelligence is undertaken by five deputy directors.

It is not difficult to understand that as a retired Air Force general, Rickel is only the deputy director of the CIA.

Lucas did not blame Turner, first, he was not qualified to blame Turner, and second, he did not see clearly the serious consequences of Turner's move.

The problem is that because of Turner's stupidity, Lucas took quite a few detours.

At the beginning, he only noticed the problems existing in Taiwan's National Defense and Security Bureau, but did not think of Zhang Jinnan, let alone connect what happened in this book.

The investigation came to a halt until Lucas flipped through Rickel's investigative work over the past year.

With decades of experience in intelligence work, Lucas immediately discovered that the [***] test subjects that Rickel had brought back from Riben were of great value.

It's not that this guy knows much, but Rickel has put a lot of effort into him.

Rickel must have found out something and provoked the intelligence agencies of a certain country before being eliminated.

Is it the intelligence agency of the original or the mainland?

Lucas had to get to the bottom of it, because the president, having learned that Rickel had been killed by another country's intelligence agencies, had already issued an order for the C.I.A. to retaliate.

It is not difficult to retaliate, and the intelligence community has the rules of the intelligence community.

Rickel's death requires at least one senior intelligence officer to compensate.

The problem is that you have to find out before you can retaliate, otherwise you will get into big trouble. If the intelligence agencies of a major country are involved and retaliate against each other, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lucas spent a lot of energy and time on this.

In the end, he had no choice but to apply to go to Nelly Air Force Base to meet [***] test subjects and find out what Rickel had obtained from him.

Because the president personally authorized it, Turner did not refuse Lucas's request.

After getting Turner's approved pass, Lucas did not immediately rush to Nelly Air Force Base because he contracted a very rare form of pink eye.

Lucas felt a little strange, but didn't take it to heart.

In the past few days, dozens of people at the Langley headquarters have contracted the disease, and the medical staff at the headquarters have identified an intelligence analyst who first contracted the disease and then transmitted it to others.

Unfortunately, the Headquarters Medical Office was unable to provide proper treatment to the patient.

Because entering Nelly Air Force Base required a retinal check, Lucas had no choice but to go to Hopkins University Hospital for a full check-up.

He was received by a female doctor who has been practicing medicine for more than 20 years.

Probably because Lucas received a state allowance, the medical expenses were paid by the political axe, so the doctor gave him a number of tests and asked him to draw blood for testing.

Lucas is not a doctor and doesn't know if it's necessary.

All he knew was that even if he used the best medicine, he would have to delay for two days.

For Lucas, who has been working hard for more than a month, it is not a bad thing to be able to rest for two days, at least it will allow him to calm down and sort out the entire investigation.

In the past two days, the most pressure has not been Liu Wei, but Yang Keji.

In order to encourage Yang Kesky, Liu Wei took out $500,000 as a bonus. In order to put some pressure on him, Liu Wei also told him unmistakably that if he couldn't do it, he would have no value in existing.

The problem is that it is not easy to hack into the internal communications network between the federal government and the military.

In order to speed up the progress, Liu Wei asked Zhou Fen to get the best commercial server for Yankesky and a workstation on the outskirts of Reno.

For two days and two nights, Yanksky didn't even touch the edge of the bed.

The hard work pays off, this guy does have some ability.

By the time Liu Wei rushed to Nelly Air Force Base with his pass, Lucas had already boarded the CIA's plane and was about to leave Langley.

Liu Wei did not take a plane over, but drove there, accompanied by Kotone Takeuchi, who was dressed as a female secretary.

There is nothing to worry about, Lucas's special plane enters the guidance area of the Denver Air Traffic Control Center before informing Nelly Air Force Base of the itinerary. In general, pilots do not report passengers on the plane and only make landing requests. Only when the reception staff at the airbase arrived arrived could they find out who was on the plane.

At this point, Lucas's official request to go to the "51st District" had already been sent.

Lucas arrived at Nelly Air Force Base and met the reception staff at the base for about four hours. Because the destination is more than 100 kilometers away from the air base, if you are lucky, it will not be until Lucas arrives at the "51st District" that the guards know that the person who entered before is an impostor.

In this case, Liu Wei has about five hours.

Yanksky tried his best, but he only tampered with the photo on Lucas's profile, and failed to modify the fingerprints, voiceprints, retina, DNA and other information, so Liu Wei had to wear a pair of special transparent gloves, install a voiceprint interference controller on the human skin mask, put on contact lenses, and bring a few pieces of Lucas's skin.

Fortunately, these things are in Liu Wei's hands.

When entering the "51st District", Liu Wei encountered the same problem as when Rickel first came, that is, he could only enter by himself, and the entourage had to stay outside.

Because he knew that Lucas was on his way, when Liu Wei went in, he gave a special order to Takeuchi Qinyin.

With her previous work experience, Kotone Takeuchi knew what to do. If Liu Wei didn't come out before Lucas arrived, she would have to try to slip away, and she would definitely not be caught.

After passing through the five security checkpoints and entering the base, Liu Wei met the staff who came to receive him.

A middle-aged man, not very tall, but very energetic. It seems that the scientific researchers working here have long been accustomed to the daily routine of day and night.

After entering the elevator, Liu Wei began to estimate the distance to descend.

"You're here to investigate the cause of Ricker's death, right?" In the application, the reason for Lucas's arrival is clearly mentioned.

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Before he was killed, he came here twice, so I want to know what he got from the FPF [***] test subject." ”

"Nothing."

"Really?"

"Do you think I'm going to lie?" The base staff glanced at Liu Wei and said, "That guy has long lost his mind, and if it weren't for some research value, he would have destroyed it a long time ago." ”

"What research value?"

"I can't tell, and you don't have the right to know." The employees of the base are very faceless.

"Anyway, I want to see him."

"Of course, otherwise you wouldn't be here, and you'll be there soon."

At this time, the elevator stopped.

From the ground to the ground, it takes only about 30 seconds, but the acceleration when starting and stopping is very large, almost two Gs, and the time to start and accelerate and stop deceleration is two seconds, so it can be roughly estimated that the main part of "Area 51" is about 600 meters below the ground.

This depth is not too large.

You must know that during the Cold War, there were nearly 1,000 strategic nuclear warheads hidden underneath, and they were definitely the number one target of the Soviet Union.

It's only 600 meters, which is indeed a little too deep, and the White House strategic bunker is only more than 100 meters above the surface.

No wonder some say that "District 51" is the safest place in the United States.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a safe place in the world.

Liu Wei is not the first outsider to enter the "51st District", at least the second.

"Right ahead, the guards have already escorted him out, and you will know if I am lying when you see him." The base staff smiled and said, "You can go in and interrogate him, but you can't make physical contact with him, and it's best to stay away from him, because the radiation intensity on his body is far higher than the safety limit." ”

"Can I interrogate him alone?"

"No, there must be a guard present. The last time Rickel came, he had one of his ears bitten off, and if it hadn't been for the timely stop of the guards, he wouldn't have been murdered. ”

Liu Wei smiled and said, "I'll be careful, it's just ......"

"Absolutely not." The base employee glanced at Liu Wei and said, "No matter who you are, when you get here, you have to abide by our rules." ”

Liu Wei nodded and didn't say anything more.

This is America, where there are rules everywhere, and no matter how much power outsiders have, they have to be followed.

"Alright, we're here." The base staff led Liu Wei into the observation room outside the interrogation room, and Leon was on the other side of the one-way clear glass. "You prepare, I'll observe here, [***] the subject has an abnormal reaction, and I'll tell you in time."

Liu Wei noticed that Leon had a lot of pipes on his body, and dozens of wires were connected.

Apparently, these lines are connected to instruments that monitor body and brain activity.

Seeing that Liu Wei was observing Leon and had no intention of entering the interrogation room, the base employee said again: "Mr. Lucas, do you need to let the guards accompany you in?" ”

"No, no." Liu Wei came back to his senses and said, "Can you turn off the monitoring system?" ”

"Why?"

"The president authorized me to investigate the cause of Rickel's death, and I don't want more people to know what I'm looking into until the truth is known."

"The president's mandate?"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Do you need me to call the White House and ask the president to give you an order in person?" ”

"There's no need." The employees of the base were very happy, because the pass that Liu Wei took was indeed specially approved by the president, but it was forged.

After the base employees turned off the monitors, Liu Wei pushed open the small door and entered the interrogation room.
