Chapter 169: Another Turning Point (01)
With the deepening of the investigation, this named N-power International Finance Corporation has gradually revealed in front of them, this international institution has many subsidiaries, including some known oil, minerals, it is certain that this is a large group, the strength is quite strong, after investigation they found that the largest shareholder of the group is a more powerful beIN business investment company.
There are still some impressions of the name heavy punch, at the beginning of the Knubia satellite main control board incident, Si Yunfei mentioned one of the several forces behind the main control board that participated in the original main control board competition, this is a large international consortium, once provided a lot of assistance to the Knubian Defense Force, and the country's high-level relations are very close, once provided large-caliber artillery for the country's army to bomb the rebel positions, and planned to help the country reorganize into a formed air force, in exchange for a large number of investment opportunities, The construction of a large amount of infrastructure in the areas controlled by government forces, and then the control of the country's oil and other minerals, it can be said that its tentacles have penetrated into all levels of the country, and to a large extent affect the direction of the country, and control the country's economic lifeline.
In addition to investing in economics and politics, the group also has its own mercenaries, whose purpose is not to take on external tasks, but mainly to protect the group's industries around the world, and the group's investments around the world are known to be more than a dozen, not including those invisible industries.
"Does this count as implicit colonization? Economic aggression? The ghost said after reading the information.
"Almost, the whole country is under its control." "Economics and politics are up to the rest of the world. ”
"It's much stronger than we expected!" Heavy punches scratched his head a little.
"We're not sure if that international investment company is the property of the 'Clock Tower', and now we are investigating this beIN business investment, don't you think it's a bit outrageous?" The bugs felt that their investigation seemed a little far from their original purpose.
"The extended investigation is not off-topic, we must start from all possible problematic directions before there is no accurate direction, and now it can be determined that there are only two companies that have a direct connection with the 'clock tower', in fact, the international investment company is only a part of the extended investigation, and it is not possible to determine whether it is the industry of the 'clock tower', but this beIN commercial investment group is the main controlling party, so he also has such suspicions, if it is determined that this international investment company is' Clock Tower', then this beIN business group is at least a cooperative relationship with him, and I am afraid it is inseparable. Heavy punch said.
"If this N-power party is directly related to the beIN group and belongs to the 'Clock Tower' organization that we want to investigate, then this is a bit too complicated, right?" The ghost is a bit of a headache by these messy relationships.
"Don't make such a conclusion until it is confirmed, but you can't rule out the possibility of that." Heavy Punch still uses the previous way of speaking to indicate their current situation, if this is the case, then the strength of this "clock tower" is really far beyond their imagination, and it can indeed be called an invisible empire.
As the investigation deepened, they obtained more and more information and clues from the channels, but most of them were very rough and complex, without a clear direction, at most they could barely be used as basic reference information, and they could not find the inevitable connection with the 'clock tower', and the depth of the hidden organization made them feel that they could not dig out.
At the same time, 03 and Lin Xiao are also paying attention to the progress on their side, and the two of them almost only have the same attitude, that is, don't think about things too complicated, it's understandable to expand the scope of the investigation, but you can't investigate for the sake of the investigation, you can't make yourself dizzy, it's not a good thing to have too many investigation directions, to seek a breakthrough, and to grasp the key point is the most important thing.
But what's the point? This is the primary problem they face, whether it is the Nth power or Bein, it is inevitable that they will be slowly marginalized in the process of investigation, and as long as they cannot find the necessary connection, the investigation has no value.
Although the investigation did not go well, they still continued to work hard to gather intelligence, in order to know more about the Nth power they rushed to Dubai, hoping to learn more through close contact with the group, but in essence, it did not change much, they did not know anything valuable, but the investigation of such a group could not be completed overnight, so they decided to stay, in this city known as the richest in the world, Another reason for coming here is that it was here that Lee Nes traveled to Japan, hoping to find some information about him here, and maybe some unexpected gains.
"In this world full of local tyrants, the three of us are not as good as beggars." The ghost looked at the luxury cars all over the street, and then looked at the broken car he drove, and his heart was quite unbalanced.
"We're not here to play." Worm touched her mustache, she disguised herself as a man to make it easier for her to travel here, she didn't want to go out like the women here and dress herself in a tent, showing only a pair of eyes.
"It's more popular for you to dress up in Thailand." How does the ghost look at the insects, how do the insects look like shemales.
"People here don't think I'm not like a man." Worm looked in the mirror again, she was very unaccustomed to this fake beard, which made her feel awkward, "Hey, you can't say a word?" ”
Heavy Punch has been looking at the intelligence records summarized by various channels that are constantly transmitted back on the computer, these are all information that has been summarized by Alpha, and these contents look much more intuitive after being classified and sorted: "What to say? I'm not as boring as you are. ”
"We didn't get anything out of coming here, we couldn't find anything wrong with the company, and we couldn't find anything that interested us." The ghost said.
"It's not normal if there is no problem at all, they make themselves so clean, isn't it because they are afraid that others will check it?" Heavy punches don't think so.
"It's been so many days, everything that should be checked has been checked, and nothing has been found, how do you want to check?" The ghost parked the car in the underground garage, and when he got out of the car, he couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the luxury car parked next to him, "It's easier to buy a luxury car than we can buy a bicycle in a country where you can dig up oil with just two shovels." ”
Back at the place where they settled, the three of them discussed the progress of the two days, and to put it simply, there was no progress, which made them very hesitant and confused.
"There is no progress in the investigation of Leens, and it is almost impossible to reverse the investigation from the clues that he appeared here." Worm said, "When he came, he brought several people to Tokyo, although the captured person confessed that he did stay here temporarily, but they all went out alone, I don't know where he went, there was no manpower left here, the oil tycoon I have checked, Li Nes had provided him with bodyguard services, the two of them have a good relationship, this time it was purely to help him, so he provided a plane to help him get to Tokyo in the shortest possible time." ”
"And what is the purpose of his visit to Dubai?" The ghost asked.
Worm shook his head: "It's not clear, judging from the content of his captured subordinates, he must have other purposes here, but he acted alone during that time and didn't bring any of his subordinates, so there is no way to know from this aspect." ”
"There's no way someone like him can be in one place for no reason." "Our way of figuring out his purpose may be helpful for our next move." ”
"He's dead, what else do you expect from what he's done before? Besides, we can't look any further now, maybe he is the only one who knows the purpose of coming here. "The only information we can get from the local underground intelligence market is that he came for a few days and left in a hurry without any details." ”
"Where did he live when he was in Dubai, and did he check it?" Heavy Punch asked again.
Worm nodded: "I checked, the person went to the empty building, there was no harvest, I asked the owner, this is a temporary rental, the registration identity is also fake, the room has been re-cleaned, well, no clues have been found." ”
"This line is broken." The ghost felt that there was no hope in this regard.
"By the way, I found out that Lee Nes had purchased a batch of spy equipment through a local weapons supplier during that time, including bugging devices, miniature cameras, cell phone tracking devices, and several high-performance servers, and I don't know exactly what it was used for, so I'm sure he didn't bring these things to Tokyo." Worm said.
"It looks like he came here to do something, but because of Lucia, he had to stop his trip to Tokyo." Heavy punch said.
"I don't know." The insects are also helpless.
"By the way, there's one more thing." "Our foothold in Siberia was raided, less than an hour after we left, and it wasn't the Russians. ”
"Could it be that the CIA found out about our whereabouts and sent someone?" The ghost was startled, "It's a good thing we left in time, otherwise it's still a question of whether we can get away?" ”
"At present, the identity of the other party is not clear, and Bruce has not found any specific results." "So we can't stay in one place for too long, we've been here for almost two days, and it's time to change our footing." ”
"I'll go find another one." Worm immediately got up, "Why is it so difficult to find a place to sleep peacefully?" ”
"As the world's most wanted criminals, we can be regarded as the eyes of the public." Chong Punch was helpless, "If we can't find anything valuable within three days, we'll leave." ”
For their own safety, they have to frequently change their appearances and change their hiding places, so as to reduce the possibility of being discovered, to be precise, to delay the time of being discovered, although quite helpless, but there is really no other way, the CIA can be said to have eyeliners all over the world, and with the world's most cutting-edge reconnaissance equipment, it is indeed not easy for them to avoid such a global search.
That night, they found a new place to stay, which was not far from the previous place, only a block away.
"I thought it was through Harry. The clues provided by Bess could have broadened the scope of the investigation and quickly figured out what was going on in the 'Clock Tower', but it seems that there is still no real progress in our investigation, and we may have to be caught before we can find out what is going on. The ghost was a little worried about their situation, it seemed like there was no end to it, and it was unknown whether they would reach the end.
"I'll sleep for a while." Leaning back on the sofa, he hadn't rested for almost 20 hours, and had been buried in the huge amount of information looking for clues, but in the end there was nothing worthwhile.
"Sleep, I'll be on the first shift." The ghost took out a cigarette and looked at the worm, and when she saw that she had no objection, he lit it and smoked it.
Worm turned on the ventilation fan, covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, and leaned to the side, ready to sleep for a while.
The ghost turned off the main light, pulled a chair and sat by the window, smoking a cigarette while checking his weapon, then crossed his gun across his lap and looked out through the blinds.
Dubai's night is colorful, complicated like a dream world, although there is no car tide here, the flow of people is like weaving, slightly deserted, but it can't hide the prosperity here, the ghost looks out the window one after another smoking, he finds that he seems to have not been so quiet looking at the night in a daze for a long time, and has been rushing around for a long time, and after suddenly calming down, he found that the original night city is so beautiful, and the tranquility can't bear to break.
To be honest, the ghost really wants to go on vacation, this idea has been more than half a year since it was born, and he has been thinking about taking a rest after dealing with the things in front of him, and it is time to go home to visit relatives, but during this time they always encounter some problems that are difficult to solve, and things are getting bigger and bigger, until now it is almost out of control, he really doesn't know how long he will have to wait for this vacation to come.
When the ghost was thinking wildly, Alpha's voice suddenly came from the headset, reminding him that Bruce asked for a call, there must be something urgent in the middle of the night, he looked back at the heavy punch and the bug to call Alpha on, of course, only connected to his single line, and did not turn on the image transmission function, so as not to disturb the other two people.
After connecting, he didn't speak directly, but went to listen to what Bruce over there said.
"It's a little late, but this news will definitely make you excited and can't sleep." Bruce seems to be trying to sell off.
"If you have something to say, just say it, at this point, what else can make us excited?" The Ghost didn't think Bruce could bring them any good news, or enough news to stir their nerves.
"There's a guy who wants to talk to Punch directly, and he's willing to work with you." Bruce said.
"Who?" The ghost still didn't pay much attention to it, but thought Bruce was a little wordy.
Bruce seemed to smile, "He's the Leons you've been looking for. Merkel. ”
