Pete watched as they all left, turned around and headed back to the monitoring room, where he picked up the phone and called John after informing 33rd of the time they were leaving.

At this moment, John had returned to Maclean, and immediately said after hearing Pete's voice, "What's wrong Pete?" Got a problem? ”

"In fact ... Yes sir. Not a security issue, though. But... It's that some of us here can't stay any longer. Pete methodically told what Thomas had said and what he had speculated.

A day later, Eric left Los Angeles and was back at headquarters at eight o'clock in the evening. Originally, he was going to go straight back to sleep, but as soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up at headquarters, because Miller wanted to see him immediately.

When Miller was met, the old guy was on the phone with Lille. After sitting down on Eric's side and waiting for about ten minutes, Miller ended the call and looked at Eric.

"Lille's call." Miller said as he stood up and stretched, then opened a box on his desk, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Do you know what he said to me?"

Eric seemed to quickly recall what he had done recently, and after making sure that he was fine, he looked at Miller and shook his head and said, "I don't know." Does it have anything to do with us?

"Why else would I ask you?" Miller asked rhetorically and then said, "Do you guys have no clue in Los Angeles and have shifted your goals?" ”

Eric looked at Miller in surprise, because he probably hadn't told Miller about it, and Tucker certainly wouldn't say it. So when Miller suddenly mentioned this, could it be that Lille knew what he told Miller?

Miller seemed to see Eric's doubts, and continued: "Lille just told me that you started to slack off after cracking the case of Helmet insiders who were instigated by the Russians to leak information about the secret project of the Security Service. Are there no specific instructions or arrangements for those you have sent into No. 33? ”

"Yes." Eric immediately said, "We have a list of people we need to keep an eye on. ”

Miller waved his hand and said, "What kind of instructions and arrangements are these?" Does anyone in No. 33 still dare to act rashly? In addition, you have not given a clear reply to their requests for your instructions. Now the gang can't stay any longer, Lille said, these people are not going to 33 to do security, if you don't think it's worthwhile, he'll transfer these people, he needs people now. ”

"Uhh Eric didn't answer directly, because it is true that he and Tucker are not too interested in No. 33 for the time being, not that there is no value there, but this value takes time, and there are too many people involved, the situation is more responsible, and the line he has been trying to track down is also broken, so this place has actually become a chicken rib, and this time he came back to open a breakthrough from other directions.

Miller saw Eric's appearance and knew that what he said, or to be precise, what Lille said to himself, was not wrong. I saw him sigh and say, "After that Hu Chen died, did you find anything?" I mean in Los Angeles. "I love to read

"Nope." Eric said frankly, "I have to admit that the line is broken. I am responsible for this ... ”

Before Eric could finish speaking, Miller interrupted, "No need to say that. The man had no intention of leaving alive. I have seen many such people, and your fault is not that this person is dead, but that you are noticed by him. For this kind of person, you can only subdue him by surprise and then prevent him from having any chance of committing suicide, but even this does not mean that you can get anything useful from him, just give you a little hope and some uncertain opportunities. But in any case, your work was successful, not only to find Hu Chen, but also to destroy one of the Russians' intelligence lines. From these two points alone, it should be more positive for your work. So you don't need to worry about anything. ”

Eric felt a lot better when he heard Miller say this. Although Tucker had told him before, it was still very different when he heard it with his own ears. I only heard Eric speak, "I see. Now Tucker and I really don't think it makes much sense to continue investigating in Novoco or Los Angeles, and I'm coming back to find a breakthrough from here. ”

Miller nodded and said, "Tucker told me that you found out from the information provided by the FBI that Hu Chen used to come to Maclean's frequently, so you suspect that they have another intelligence network here. ”

"That's right." Eric said: "In my opinion, if something happens to Hu Chen, even if there are people in Los Angeles who have escaped the net, they will evacuate or stop all activities and become a real ordinary person." In addition, there were many people who saw Hu Chen's body at that time, so the news that Hu Chen was killed instead of arrested should not be hidden for a long time, and the people here will not worry about the possibility of being exposed after knowing that he is dead rather than arrested. So I'd like to check it out here. It's just that I need some permissions and resources. ”

Miller smiled and said, "Permissions and information, wait a minute, what about Lille?" ”

Eric thought for a moment and said, "I think we should hold on a little longer." We still suspect that there are people there who are related to Hu Chen. But, as I said, it took time to wait for the man to move again, to show his feet. In such a situation, we really have no instructions to give to those whom Lille has assigned to us. ”

"I think it's also important that you don't think the rest of the story has much to do with you, right? That's already a matter for the Security Service and the FBI. And you are only interested in things that concern us. Miller looked at Eric and said.

"Uhhh Eric hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That's right. We do have that in mind. ”

Miller sighed and said, "Actually, I agree with you. But how much longer do you think you're going to let those people stay there? ”

"I can't just ask me about this, I think Tucker has more say than I do." Eric Road.

"I'm asking you now. How long do you think it will take? Miller insisted.

Eric didn't return immediately, but after thinking about it, he looked embarrassed and said, "If I have to say it, I think they... It's best to stay there for a month. ”
