Chapter 168: Fog (03)
03 directly opposes the plan to go to Chechnya with a heavy fist, the reason is very simple, there is no need to just toss it for a possibility to go to the whole world, these investigations can be carried out through channels, and it is better for the three of them to stay honest.
"If you want me to see him, I'm afraid we'll be caught by the neutral bureau." The ghost was a little disappointed, "I finally have a clue, and he won't let us go, he doesn't know how boring it is." β
"You just want to turn over and get rid of this deadly pressure as soon as possible, and after figuring things out, you can relax, not because you have nothing to do." The worm said as if he had seen through him.
"Wow, what you said is light, it's not you who is wanted by the whole world." The ghost looked at her with slanted eyes, "The taste of carrying a black pot is not pleasant, not to mention carrying such a big pot, I hate being framed the most, and now I finally have a little hope, 03 won't let us do anything." β
"You should take this as a love and care from above, it's not that he won't let us do anything, he just doesn't want us to walk around blindly." Heavy Punch understands 03's thoughts very well, "There is indeed hope and direction now, but this does not mean that everything we are doing now is correct, and it is impossible to confirm that this so-called 'clock tower' is the mastermind behind the command of Li Nes to pretend to be us to kill Steppenwolf, so don't be blindly optimistic, and winning steadily is the key." β
"You're not a person looking for stability, why did you suddenly say something like that?" Of course, the ghost knows the character of the heavy punch, although this guy is not in a hurry for quick success, but it can also be said that he has an obvious eagerness to succeed, in fact, to a certain extent, the two of them are very similar in character, they both know that they should do things steadily and win, and go down step by step, but the biggest disadvantage of this is that the progress is slow, and now for them, what they need is to solve the problem as soon as possible.
And from the point of view of the worm, the heavy punch is not really like he said, he wants to win steadily, but he can consider these issues from the perspective of 03, and he doesn't want to go too insistful, after all, they violated the routine too many times in the previous paragraph, and disobeyed the order to complete some tasks that they thought were correct, although the results were not satisfactory, but on the whole, their judgment was not wrong, at least a little closer to the truth, if they hadn't persevered, it would have been impossible to find so many clues now, Although it's right to do the right thing, you have to take into account the feelings above, and you can't keep disobeying orders, so to a certain extent, they still have to follow the orders from above, so that the above feel that they are not out of control, of course, this is just the understanding of the worm, and it is impossible to know what the specific heavy punch thinks.
"But that doesn't mean we don't do anything, we can't really stay as honest as 03 said, we have to continue to investigate, we can not go to Chechnya, but the work still has to continue, we go through Harry. Bess has obtained a lot of valuable information, and has already had some initial understanding of this 'clock tower', these are the clues that we continue to pursue, although the feedback from the channel is not optimistic, but I believe that as time goes by, something new will emerge, which is the direction of our further investigation, and it can be regarded as the only hope that can be seen in despair, so we have no reason to give up, and the rest of the body does not mean that the brain also stops functioning. "The words of the heavy punch could not be clearer, they can not go to Chechnya, but they will not stop working.
"It's like human talk." The ghost nodded, "But as you can see, the information from below is basically of little practical value, Harry. Bess was right, the outside world didn't know about the organization at all, but from another point of view, is it possible that he made it up? Or most of it was made up by him, so the outside world can't find out, and we can't use the content of his recruitment as the basis for investigation before we can't prove that what he said is true. β
"Of course, we can't afford not to be prepared for this, so we have to take into account the possibility while investigating, but I think Harry. The content of the Bess's confession is still partially credible, and we have to continue to look for Wade, who is codenamed Spot, while we investigate the vast amount of information he provided. Cillas, first of all, we have to confirm whether this person really exists, of course, this has to be confirmed through channels, especially Bruce, if this person can be found, then it can basically confirm Harry. The authenticity of those clues provided by Bes, I believe that it is impossible for him to fake a person to come out and deceive us, that is too naΓ―ve, he must know that we will investigate, if we confirm that what he said is false, he should understand what kind of fate will be, so think about it from these angles, Harry. The content of the bass confession should be more than 50% credible. "After careful analysis, he made a phone call to contact some connections for further intelligence gathering, but the several channels he had high hopes for did not give him anything valuable, including Bruce's side, and did not find any substantive content, but through a piece of information turned by the ghost, they saw some hope, of course, this is done by the military doctor, this guy has never been in direct contact with them, all through the ghost, this information is indeed proven' The existence of the Bell Tower, although this information is briefly difficult to accept, does affirm that the CIA is indeed targeting. Clock Tower's detailed investigation, but this investigation is very high-level, and extremely secretive, only high-level personnel have access to it, the military doctor mentioned that the investigation of the organization can be traced back to 3 to 5 years ago, the reason why the scope is so large, is that he can inquire about the lack of authority, so the content that can be understood is also limited, within the scope of his authority, some of the understandable parts can generally prove that Harry. The authenticity of the content provided by the bass and the confirmation of Wade. Cyrias, codenamed Spotted, is a man with a not-so-detailed identity.
Wade. Cyreas, formerly known as Wade. Barnes, a former secret agent of the National Strategic Intelligence Service, died in the line of duty in the line of duty during Operation Blue Light in Central Asia more than a decade ago, died in an oil field fire, and his body was not found, and was recognized by a CIA agent who had also participated in that operation during an investigation into the 'clock tower' three years ago, and then disappeared, the incident was recorded after repeated investigations, and he appeared in Northern Europe, Iraq and Japan for the next two years, and was identified by facial recognition, but was not found in subsequent traces, So it was only included in the file, but the follow-up investigation was still fruitless.
"Looks like this guy isn't too easy to find!" This was the first conclusion that the ghost came to after reading this piece of information again.
"If this kind of person is easy to find, it is impossible to live to this day." "This kind of person is very good at hiding himself, especially after faking his death, and they know very well what the consequences of being found out. β
"Can we find someone the CIA can't find?" The ghost is still a little worried about this!
"It's definitely difficult, but it's not hopeless, many times underground channels are better informed than formal channels, especially for organizations like the CIA, they also have to collect intelligence through informal channels in many cases, but they have a large organization and more personnel, and they have more advantages than us, but we are not without opportunities." Heavy Punch had been mentally prepared for such an outcome, none of the enemies they faced were easy to deal with, and it was indeed difficult to find these people.
"The last time he was seen in Japan was two months ago, and I don't know when he will be seen next." Worm also felt that the hope of such an investigation was too slim.
"It's certain that he's been active, and he's in a different location, but he hasn't been found, and while we can be sure that finding him will be difficult, at least we now have a picture of him." Said with a heavy fist banging on a few photos on the screen.
"The clearest one is still his file photo in the Strategic Intelligence Department, and it is more than ten years ago, and the rest are taken by surveillance equipment, and it is not clear, there will definitely be a certain deviation in using these as a reference for intelligence collection." The ghost also stared at the photos, "I'm afraid we can only send these channels now, compared to the CIA's secret investigation, we may have to cast a bigger net, maybe the results will be faster." β
"The most effective way is also the easiest way, first sort out a summary of the investigation and send it to the channel." Punch that Wade. The frontal photo of Cyras was put in the maximum, as if to find more details, the reason why he wanted to use this name to investigate the channel was because this was the name he used now, and his previous real name was not so important, maybe he had been using this name since he faked his death, and it would be even more difficult to find out if he used his name in the Strategic Intelligence Agency.
"Will this have an impact on your friends? These are inside materials, and if they are disseminated, they may arouse suspicion from the CIA. "The insect is still relatively thoughtful.
"Hmm......" Heavy punch nodded, there is indeed such a problem, they can't help but consider the safety of the military doctor, "so we must reorganize the investigation minutes, avoid exposing the information he revealed to the greatest extent, and only keep the basic information, including his origin and true identity, the part must be removed, and the photos must be reprocessed and handed over to Bruce's technical team to do." β
In short, their investigation has been carried out from several directions, looking for people to find people, investigating the investigation industry of the "Clock Tower", although everything seems to have been carried out smoothly, but they are very clear that even if it is a large-scale investigation, the valuable information that can be obtained in the end may be pitiful, after all, this "Clock Tower" is an extremely mysterious organization for them and for the CIA, mysterious to the point that it is difficult to find information related to it, the CIA has been investigating for several years, and may have accumulated a lot of information, But there is still no breakthrough, of course, this may also be a wrong guess made by the limited authority available to the military doctor, maybe the CIA has cleared it up, but it has been kept secret, and for the heavy punch they are just the beginning, and they do not have the strength and extensive channels of the CIA, so for them want to find out what this "clock tower" is about? The difficulty can be imagined.
Bruce's side continues to be on Harry. The Bess's interrogation didn't have much effect, and the guy wasn't revealing more valuable information, but the recent interrogation mentioned Wade. Some of the places that Cyrillas frequented during his time with his brother included his home and office, as well as the company where his brother worked.
"I have investigated through channels, this is a foreign trade company registered in the Netherlands, which has closed down three years ago, and it can be said that it no longer exists." Bruce said, "However, the investigation found that the company is very profitable, with tens of millions of profits every year, according to the information, they are engaged in the import and export of high-precision equipment, but they have not really carried out a few formal transactions, which are all records on the books, so this is likely to be a shell company, specifically used for money laundering, after a horizontal investigation, it was found that their most frequent account transactions are an East Asian consortium, which also filed for bankruptcy a year ago, and the registrant of the consortium is Wade. Another name of Cyriyas, whose identity we confirmed by comparing the photos on the registration file. β
"Two of their own companies do business, and the left hand leads the right hand to launder the black money." The ghost understood what he meant, "The most basic way to launder money. β
Bruce nodded: "Although there is no evidence, this possibility is still relatively large, this kind of shell company directly closed down or filed for bankruptcy after a few years of operation, just to avoid investigation." β
"These things aren't worth much." The worm doesn't think it's a real catch.
"It can be used as a reference for lateral investigations." "Can you confirm the flow of funds?" β
"All the money obtained after the final auction of the properties of the two companies will be used to repay the loans and return to the banking system." Bruce said.
"Private banking?" Heavy Punch is keenly aware of the problem.
Bruce nodded: "Yes, an international financial company based in Dubai. β
"What do you mean......" Worm seemed to figure it out, "These three companies, including this international financial institution, belong to a consortium and launder the black money through a series of ways to set up companies to go bankrupt and pay off debts......
"If it's for money laundering, at least these three companies can't belong to a consortium, at least on the surface, they can't be said to belong to a consortium." The ghost said.
"It's our guess, it's not sure yet." "Continue to follow this line, and if necessary, let's visit this international financial institution......
