Chapter Eighty-Eight: Negotiation
Compared to the Intelligence Agency, the FBI is the snake. So in Los Angeles, Huber and his preparations were much simpler and quicker, and they didn't need to be as secretive and cautious as Tucker and Eric.
Following the address given by Huber, Eric and Tucker arrived on the tenth floor of a business building in downtown Los Angeles. On this level, it seems that it is completely for Huber and them. Because here, there is no one else but their people.
And as soon as they passed through the curfew, Huber greeted them. Eric immediately introduced Tucker, and after a few pleasantries, Huber and Tucker ushered them into a large, tidy conference room, where coffee was brought to them a few moments later.
"Is this your property?" Eric took a sip of his coffee.
Hu Bo smiled and said, "Sort of." It just so happened that no one had used it recently, so it was approved for us to use it temporarily. ”
"That's amazing." Eric said and put down his coffee and said, "The information that was given to you before, have you started investigating?" ”
"Of course." Hu Bo said: "I will definitely be able to give you what I have investigated this week. It's sure to contain all the information you want to know. ”
"I have no doubt about it." Tucker began, "But there's someone else you need to investigate right now. ”
Tucker said and glanced at Eric, who immediately handed over the information that Tucker had given him to Huber.
Hu Bo looked at the two people with some surprise and took the information, originally he thought that this meeting was to talk about how to work closely with each other to avoid misunderstandings, how to share their respective risks, and even if they finally divided the results. So at this moment, it was inevitable to see that Tucker not only had no interest in those issues, but once again came up with something that needed to be investigated by himself. After all, this thing says it's going to investigate on its own, but it's actually intelligence. This is equivalent to handing the food in front of you, and seeing how you eat it later.
"Is this your new development?" Huber asked as he took it and looked at it.
"So to speak." Tucker said, "This person probably took advantage of his opportunity to leave No. 33 to take the stolen information out and give it to someone. While we don't believe that the intelligence was stolen directly by this person, our idea is that the key is to be able to find the people on the periphery who receive the information. ”
Huber listened to Tucker's analysis and nodded, this is obvious, the Security Bureau is someone else's land, first of all, it is one thing whether others want to or not, and secondly, it will startle the snake. After all, most of the people in No. 33 are rebels, he may be bribed or coerced, but no matter what, this person's task is only to steal and give it to the person he wants to investigate, which means that the person who stole the intelligence will have very little information, and those who rebel against him will not let him know too much. Including Albert, who was suspected by the Intelligence Bureau of being the messenger of information, is the same, he is from Hermet, and he should have been bought, so naturally he will not know too much about it. But the person who receives the information is different, it will be a real lurker, or a real enemy. This person will know a lot of things, a lot of things that he wants to know.
Huber looked at the information and picked up the hard drive and said, "This is the video mentioned above?" ”
"Yes to the video." Tucker said: "According to my information, this person should go out regularly. About four days later, on the fifteenth day, he will most likely go out again. You can monitor him and see where he has gone and who he has been in contact with. ”
Huber nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Including the previous one." I'll arrange for someone to start checking right away. With that, he stood up and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away." With that, he took his things and left the conference room.
Eric picked up his coffee and took another sip and said, "If this really turns out as we expected, when are you going to tell Lille about this?" ”
"There's no hurry. It's too early to say that. Maybe this Albert is innocent. It's all just a coincidence. Tucker Road.
Eric smiled disapprovingly and said, "Are you lying to yourself?" Can you deceive the past? But I don't think the person behind this guy has anything to do with the one we're tracking. ”
"Why do you think that?" Tucker asked, puzzled.
"There are two reasons for this, the first is feeling. I think the current appearance of Albert is different from the person we are tracking. I can't say exactly what the difference is, but it's just the feeling. The second is that this person is mostly hidden in us or in the system associated with us, and Hermet, who is related to us, wants to reach out and get into it ... It's not easy, and because we have a strong connection to Hermet, doing so increases the risk of that person's exposure. So I don't think the person standing behind Albert is probably the one we're looking for. Eric said.
"Whoever it is, check it." Tucker said: "If it really isn't, we'll save the trouble and hand it over to the FBI, and they'll have to thank us, and maybe we'll be commended for this." ”
"Commendation?" Eric smiled nonchalantly and said, "I don't care about any recognition." I'm just trying to say, if it's not the person we're looking for, would we be going in the wrong direction? ”
"Impossible." Tucker immediately denied that there was clear information about this. The intelligence comes from "Tarzan", and there is no need to say much about where the intelligence of "Tarzan" comes from, so this matter cannot be wrong, it is only possible that this matter is involved, and it is far more than that one who wants to steal the things of the Security Bureau. But Eric was unaware of the existence of Tarzan, and therefore of the value of the information provided by Tarzan. So Tucker didn't have much to say but said, "Don't think about it so much, we'll soon find out if we're wrong." ”
Twenty minutes later, Huber returned to the conference room. After sitting down, he said, "I've already explained the matter." We're going to investigate today, and soon we'll know what this guy is doing every time he enters Los Angeles. ”
"That's good." Tucker nodded, "I have a request here." ”
"Please." Huber said politely.
"I want to be kept informed of your progress. Because this case is very complicated, and the safety of one of our very important informants is at stake. So we have to follow up at the same time. Tucker Road.
