Chapter Seventy-Six: Cooperation?
Miller took a quick look at it and returned it to Eric and said, "That's actually what the FBI should do." Not counting the help, they would be happy to do it. ”
Eric shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just want them to be able to help us carry the cauldron at a critical moment." ”
"Back to the black pot?" Miller didn't get it.
Eric immediately spoke: "The Security Service is not as calm as it seems. I've looked at some of their internal records, and their management monitoring is actually very strict, and I think they must be conducting a preventive investigation as well. OUR ACTIONS ... It's hard to keep them from noticing. And Bezos is in the Intelligence Agency... So we have to figure out how to deal with it. ”
Miller let out a long sigh when he heard Bezos' name, and he thought for a moment, "Are you trying to let the FBI fend off when the Security Agency finds out about our actions and attacks us?" ”
"Yes." "And we have another concern, which is that in the end this project is a mess, and in fact now Tucker's intelligence has also made it clear that the information has been leaked, I mean in the end the project becomes a joke, and in that case, the Security Service finds out that we are involved, and I am afraid that they will put the blame on us." ”
"Huh." Miller sneered and said, "That's!" After speaking, he put away his smile and said, "But there is indeed such a possibility." This makes it difficult for so many departments to have overlapping responsibilities with each other. Just do as you say. We can work well with the FBI this time. As he spoke, he looked at Tucker, "But the bottom line, the bottom line must be kept, you know where our bottom line is." ”
"Yes. I understand. We can't involve too many people within us, and we will solve our own problems. Tucker immediately agreed.
"That's all." Miller said, leaning back in his chair, "I suddenly felt like we were in a game, we were defending passively for the first two quarters, and now it's time for us to fight back." Do your guys, the Security Service is a nuisance, but don't worry too much about them. To put it mildly, Bezos is just a guy who can't get along in the intelligence bureau, there's nothing too much to worry about, and I'll support you. I'll have a meeting in a moment, and I'll report back to the director, and I think he'll support us as well. ”
"Okay." Hearing Miller like this, both Tucker and Eric couldn't help but feel a little excited. This is tantamount to reassuring them and letting them do it.
After leaving Miller's office, Tucker said, "When are you going to go to the FBI?" ”
"Immediately, immediately, of course." Eric Road.
"Do you want me to come along?" Tucker asked.
"No need. I know how to do it. Eric immediately said, "And this kind of thing, I think I'm more suitable than you." You'd better get some sleep. ”
Tucker smiled and said, "Okay. I'm not going to sleep, though. I'm going to Los Angeles, where I have to make some arrangements. With that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait, Tucker." Eric stopped Tucker, and after seeing Tucker stop, he quickened his pace and came to Tucker's side and said, "I think those people should also be handed over to the FBI for investigation." ”
Tucker glanced at Eric and said, "Give it to them?" Don't keep it at all? Are you sure they'll be able to cooperate with us the way we want them to after this? To be honest, I feel like if any of these people really have a problem, then those four people are very likely. I mean bigger than the others. You've given all the information out, what value do you have? What else can they listen to us? ”
"You can try." Eric said: "There has to be a first time, otherwise this thing is likely to get out of control later, and maybe the FBI and the Security Bureau will be in a gang, and then... Needless to say, you get the idea. In fact, I have always felt that the real front line should be the FBI, and we should hide in the back and come up with ideas, which not only reduces our risks, but also allows us to focus more on ourselves and how to deal with some situations in the future. ”
Tucker knew that Eric was talking about self-investigation and dealing with the situation that might involve the Intelligence Bureau after the crime. This is also the point that I am facing, or that the entire Intelligence Agency attaches the most importance to.
"Okay." After a moment's thought, Tucker said, "You can do that, but if the investigation comes out and involves us internally, we have to solve it ourselves." This is our bottom line, we have to do our own thing. You have to make this clear to them. ”
"Understood. I'll keep an eye on that. Eric agreed.
"That's it." Tucker nodded, and then said as if he had thought of something, "Let them focus on these people who have been in contact with them in the last two months." With that, he left.
Eric watched Tucker leave, unbuttoned his suit and left it behind when he returned to his office, and took out a cigarette and took two puffs before picking up the phone and calling.
A few moments later, the voice of Eric's friend at the FBI, George Huber, arrived.
"Hey George, I'm Eric." Eric said pleasantly.
But George was not in such a mood at all, and only listened to him: "Eric, I was looking for you." Where have you been lately? There is no news, you don't reply to the message, did you defect or were you captured by aliens? ”
"Don't be angry man. Didn't I take the initiative to call you? Eric smiled.
"Come on. You must be trying to let me and the FBI do things for you, right? Huber said angrily.
"You can't say that, we're working together. Cooperation is not about who to do things for, but about mutual achievement. Eric said.
"Haha." Hu Bo laughed loudly and said, "You're embarrassed to say cooperation, I still don't know what you're doing?" Is this called collaboration? Do you think of the FBI as a department under your intelligence agency? ”
"Don't... You can't say that, or I'll be out of luck. Eric immediately said, "All right, my friend." First of all, let me tell you, I'm here to share this time. There are some things that I think you must be interested in. ”
"Share?" Huber softened his tone when he heard Eric's words.
"Yes. Share. Eric said this and sighed slightly: "We have been tracking down this time, and we have finally made some progress. So I'll call you right away. ”
