Robert smiled helplessly: "Pete, I don't know... I don't know what to say, whether or not it really works, but one thing is for sure, you're really, really very hard, and I haven't really thought about what you're thinking. As he spoke, he pointed to the coffee and bread in front of Pete and said, "It seems that you are not here to enjoy afternoon tea and enjoy life." ”

"That will be for later, when I make enough money." After speaking, Pete pointed to the monitor that showed the open space outside the door and said: "You need to draw a parking space here, there were few cars before, but according to your arrangement, there will definitely be several cars at the same time, I don't want to see anyone parking casually in this place." Also, I need weapons, not just pistols, but rifles or submachine guns that can provide a lot of firepower. If it's not convenient for you, let Helmet come out. ”

"Don't you disapprove of making this place like a prison?" Robert asked.

Pete shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just prepared." I listened to the sirens of police cars coming and going outside all day, especially after dark. It's just a matter of law and order, but what if one or a few madmen suddenly come here? Maybe the average bastard wouldn't be Helmet's opponent, but I'll have to be careful of people who aren't crazy, but simply want to wreak havoc. ”

"Is that necessary?" Robert said: "It's not enough to have a pistol, is someone going to attack this place openly?" ”

"It doesn't matter who it is. As long as the dead come here to make trouble, I'll beat him into a sieve. Pete was firm, not at all joking, and said, "Absolute safety must be guaranteed here." There can't be even the slightest mistake. ”

Robert saw that Pete was very serious and serious, raised his hand and said, "Okay." There's nothing wrong with what you're doing. I just wanted to say don't put too much pressure on yourself. In fact, in the assessment of the Security Bureau, the safety factor of this project is very high now, I mean very safe. So you don't have to be so nervous. ”

"Safety comes from not letting up." Pete said: "Only in this way can we guarantee that nothing will happen." The Russians had bought Waynes before, and they could buy off others later, but they were just waiting for an opportunity. And what I'm going to do is not give them that opportunity. As he spoke, he looked at Robert and said, "Actually, isn't it safer to use the Internet?" Isn't that so? ”

"It depends." Robert said: "It's not a certainty, but at the moment, because the project is all about data and open networks, the danger will undoubtedly be higher." Therefore, the above rejects this opinion, and can only let them meet with family and friends through the current way. ”

Pete shook his head slightly and said, "Okay." Actually, I would have liked you to expand your activities to the whole of Novoko. It seems impossible to give them the opportunity to go shopping. ”

"Yes. It's almost impossible. Robert said.

"You guys don't understand what it's like to be stuck in one place and then be in this place for a long time." Pete said and looked at Robert and said, "At least your boss doesn't understand." All right. Anyway, these things can always soothe them for a while. But... After that, everything will go back to the way it was before. ”

"Let's wait until then, maybe the whole project will be almost complete by then." Robert Road.

"I wonder, how long are you going to go?" Pete asked, "It seems like no one has told me exactly how long I've been here since it all started." ”

"I'm currently receiving news for at least six months, at most a year." Robert Road.

Pete smiled and said, "Isn't there a big difference between you?" Half a year and a year are half the time. Are you mistaken? And when did you start counting at this time? Did it start on the day of the 33rd? ”

"Make no mistake. At least half a year is because the plan that was abandoned because of leaks cannot be continued, but it still gives everyone a rare work experience, and there are still many basic things to use. So half a year is the fastest time when everything is going well, and one year is the deadline. That is, the project must be completed within one year as required by the previous Security Service. Starting point... It should be the day when the standby scheme is officially launched. That is, a little later than the day you just said. Robert explained.

"Okay. I hope it will end soon. Pete seemed to be a little disappointed and said, "Give me a week, and I'll arrange it." You can arrange the people who come here. ”

Over the course of the next week, Pete added three rooms where he could both wait and meet. In addition to the tables, chairs, and sofas in the room, there is a close surveillance, and the monitoring is far tighter than the waiting room he originally set up.

And Robert's side quickly passed on the list of the first people to come here. Pete didn't care who was coming here, and he was more concerned at the moment, and that was that he wanted to know where the people who had come here with him and then been transferred had gone. Because he felt that these people were leaving at the same time as Wells Lee, and it was a bit strange at this time. After all, at that time, Wells's identity was exposed, and it was inevitable that he would be transferred, and how could the others leave together on the same day so coincidentally? And he still didn't even ask if he needed them, and he just transferred them all out. Doesn't this mean that their gang is likely to continue to follow Tucker's movements, that is, it is likely that they will go east, to Asia, like Wells Lee. So you'll have to figure out where they're going.

Pete seemed to have an idea, and after arranging the men, he replied to Robert, telling him that everything was ready. After that, he said hello to the people here and went to the bakery opposite.

In recent times, Pete has figured out everything around him. And he also formed a cooperative relationship with the two shops selling bread and pizza opposite, and these two shops will provide them with food from time to time, especially afternoon tea and supper, and every time Pete personally chooses to eat and drink. So this makes it a very common thing for him to come in and out of here, and no one has any objections, after all, Pete hasn't gone far at all, and there is surveillance all around.

But what they don't know is that Pete finds a phone booth. Behind the bakery, it was across the shop to the curb on the other side. A phone booth that looks shabby and has some graffiti on the outside stands on the side of the road, but the good thing is that the phone inside is good.

This gives Pete a secure and external communication channel. So this time he hurried to the phone booth while asking the bakery to prepare what he wanted, picked up the receiver to pay, and dialed the old guy Evans's number directly.

The other end of the line was quickly connected, only to hear Evans's somewhat confused and wary voice come over.

"Hello? Who are you? ”

Pete smiled and said, "Mr. Evans, it's me, Pete. ”1234

Hearing that it was Pete, Evans's voice immediately changed, "Pete! You're back? Why is it such a strange number? No, you didn't come back, where are you? ”

"It's still on a mission. It's a fairly idle task. Pete said as he glanced outside the phone booth from time to time, "There's something I want you to do me a favor with." ”

"Help? Of course. What do I need to do? Evans immediately agreed.

"I'm trying to find a few people to see if they're still in Hermet." Pete said.

"Someone looking for Hermet?" Evans asked, looking confused.

"Yes. They were all my companions and came with me to this hellish place, but they were transferred and I stayed. So I wanted to see how they were doing when they went back. Pete said.

Evans still didn't seem to understand, "They're probably on vacation." If you come back, you should be on vacation. ”

"I know that. If that's the way it always is, it is. I wouldn't ask either. Pete explained, "But you know, I left the squad. I used to think it was a good place to go, but now it seems that it may not be. I was left in this place while the others were transferred, and I am now worried about whether this so-called department to which I was transferred still exists, whether I am now an outcast that no one wants. ”

"How so?" Evans asked as if very strangely, "Hellmet shouldn't be in such a situation, should he?" ”

"I don't want to be in such a situation, that's why I want you to help me inquire." "Just let me know they're not in the same department, even if they're on a mission somewhere." ”

"Okay." Evans didn't think much about it, he was extremely trusting of Pete, "I'll help you inquire, but what are they called?" ”

"Gerard Brooke, a white man. Thomas Evan is a black man. The last one is that Anthony Calhoun is a short white man. Pete said.

"Okay... Evans seemed to write down the names of the men one by one, "I wrote it down, Gerard Brooke, Thomas Evan, and the last one was Anthony Calhoun. Right, is it just the three of them? ”

"Yes. Actually, there are other people, but these are the ones I'm more familiar with. Just ask where the three of them are. They've been out of me for over a week, and if they do, they'll definitely be in Hermet. Pete said.

"Okay. I know what to do, don't worry, Pete. But how do I contact you? Evans asked.

"I'll call you. Three days later, it's still this time. Pete said.

"Okay. I'll inquire as soon as possible. Evans said.

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Evans. Pete said.

"Don't call me sir, okay, be careful." Evans hung up the phone.

Pete hung up the phone and immediately left the booth and returned to the bakery, grabbed a few large bags of his own groceries, and then crossed the street and returned to Hall 3.

While Pete was on the move, here in McLean, Eric was standing on the side of the road in front of the café not far from Victor Von's dental office. Not long ago, he persuaded Miller to mobilize all the forces of the Intelligence Bureau in the local area to find information and clues related to Hu Chen. It wasn't long before I got some information. One of the things that intrigued Eric was the coffee shop behind him, and according to what he had received so far, the closest thing he had been to seeing Parker's car was here, and there were people in the car.

This message comes from a postman who passes through here every day. An informant from the Intelligence Bureau received the news from the postman after some inquiry.

Originally, Eric didn't believe in such news, after all, such sightings are often unreliable, and the postman sees many people every day, how can he remember Parker and the car he was driving. It's just that there is not much useful information, and in order to ensure that I don't let go of any useful information, I took the time to find this postman under the leadership of the informant for face-to-face inquiry. After asking, Eric knew that the postman had an impression of Tucker because he was in the same place, at two different times, close to each other. And it was very early at the time, and there was no one on the road, which made him feel a little strange to see someone sitting in the car, so he had an impression.

And the place in this postman's narrative is the street in front of him. Eric had already driven two round trips down the street before. It can be said that this is an ordinary street that is unremarkable. Not to mention in Maclean, there are several similar streets in this area.

But this street will definitely not be as simple as it seems, otherwise Parker or Hu Chen would not have appeared here twice. He must have a clear purpose here, and it can't be a morning exercise or a leisurely stroll.

Before getting out of the car, Eric parked the car in the area described by the postman as Parker's park. After stopping, he looked out of the car and saw that the closest place to the two sides was a shop on one side and a house on the other. In the foreground, there is a coffee shop, and in the far distance you can see is a dental office.

On the surface, it's just as special as this street. He pulled out a map of McLean, which had already been marked by him, each of which was a recent collection of places where Parker had appeared. Of course, some of them are definitely false positives, and they can't be confirmed, just like, presumably. But at this moment, Eric would rather believe in his mentality, and almost all of them are marked, but these unreliable ones are marked with a green pen, and the more likely ones, such as the place where he is at the moment, are marked with a red pen.
