Chapter IX Cooperation

I think the Security Service must have conducted a detailed investigation into them, right? Tucker asked.

"Yes. In addition, the Security Service also uses Hermet's people. Eric: "I've already confirmed this from Lille. ”

"I can't believe you've got so many relationships. It seems that Miller and Lille are both old guys who buy your account. Tucker Road.

"Except for Mr. Robert Bezos. Ha ha. Eric laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "It's just that Lille told me that the results of their investigation were that there were no problems." Everything is very normal. ”

"Normal?" Tucker asked.

"Yes. Normal, nothing happens. Eric said, "That's all I have at the moment. To be precise, there are no clues to the obstacles I have encountered, and Miller is not willing to support my investigation into these projects of the Security Service until I have sufficient evidence. ”

"What about the FBI?" Tucker asked, "Didn't the FBI do anything?" ”

"No action." Eric said, "They don't dare to offend Mr. Bezos indiscriminately. I at least dared to tell him, but they didn't even dare fart. ”

"Because there's no evidence." Tucker said, "So no one is going to mess with him." ”

"Yes." "All I have now is suspicion and speculation, which is completely untenable, and I need direct evidence to prove something," Eric said. I think that's exactly why Miller got the two of us working together. ”

Tucker didn't speak immediately, but carefully looked at the thing in his hand before saying, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"I don't know what you can tell me. Miller didn't say anything, I just said what I wanted. I want some proof to be able to prove it. Aren't you in charge of intelligence work related to that side? Eric asked.

Tucker thought for a moment and said, "You're wondering if anyone has an idea of this security agency's plan, right?" ”

"Yes. Proof. Ability to have convincing evidence. Eric said.

Tucker nodded and thought for a moment, "What else do you need?" ”

"Manpower." "I need reliable people," Eric said. ”

Tucker was puzzled and said, "Manpower? You don't have the manpower to do such an important thing? ”

"My people are all people who do intelligence analysis, and the objects of work are all kinds of materials, and the location is the office. I'm talking about Field Service now. I don't, and who do you think I should use at this point? I don't want to use people I don't know, I haven't been at headquarters for a long time, should I be able to transfer my former people in Georgia? That's not appropriate either, is it? ”

"Then how can you be sure that I have these men?" Tucker asked.

"Otherwise, Miller asked us to work together, why? Isn't it just to make up for each other? Eric said as a matter of course.

"Okay." Tucker nodded, "Is there anything else you need me to do?" ”

"It's gone." "I need this right now," Eric said. ”

"I see." Tucker said and stood up, picked up Eric's share, and said, "This thing... ”

"You can take it." Eric said immediately.

"Okay. I'll have to think about it. I'll get back to you soon. Tucker Road.

Eric didn't seem to be in a hurry to get Tucker to say anything, so he said, "Yes, but don't think about it too long." As he spoke, he gestured to the piece Tucker was holding, "This project called Burning Sun is already underway. ”

"It won't be long, three days, give me three days. I'll give you an answer. Tucker took his things and walked towards the door, and after taking two steps, he added, "Next time you let someone else to your office, you'd better have something to drink, even if it's just for show." With that, he left.

After leaving Eric's office, Tucker glanced at Miller's office, hesitated for a moment, and instead went back, he returned to his office.

After sitting down, he carefully read the thing Eric had given him from beginning to end. Obviously, he was tempted by Eric's proposal, although he and Eric did not belong to the same type of person at work before, it would be very difficult to cooperate, and it was even foreseeable that there would be a lot of disputes and unpleasantness in the future, but the thing in front of him and Eric's direction and ideas were very attractive. And the most important thing is that Tucker doesn't really care about the security bureau, and he doesn't take the old-timer Bezos who makes others stay away. His only concern at the moment is the use of "Tarzan". Undoubtedly, he cooperated with Eric, and the most valuable thing in his hand was undoubtedly the information sent back by Tarzan. But if the ones they check are indeed the prey that the other party is staring at, then involving Tarzan will undoubtedly increase the risk of him being exposed.

However, Miller let himself cooperate with Eric obviously to play to their respective strengths and find a breakthrough as soon as possible, that is, to find this Ji Bee who seems to be very crucial... Then Miller obviously agrees with some of Eric's judgments and speculations, although he didn't promise anything, but recalling himself and letting himself work with Eric frankly has shown this. And if so, can it be said that Miller is in favor of using Tarzan to assist in the investigation of this matter?

Thinking of this, Tucker turned around and opened one of your safes in his office, took out a notebook in the safe and looked at it again, and said silently, "Ji Bee... ”。 After spending nearly an hour and going through it from cover to cover, he picked up the phone on his desk and called Miller's office.

"Talked to Eric about it?" Miller asked as soon as he heard Tucker's voice.

"Yes. Just finished chatting more than an hour ago. Tucker glanced at the time.

"How does it feel? What do you think of Eric's thoughts and judgments this time? Miller asked.

"I think ... To be honest, I think I can give it a try. Tucker Road.

"So you're trying to tell me you have concerns, aren't you?" Miller asked.

"Yes." Tucker immediately affirmed, then continued, "Can I go to your office?" I couldn't say it on the phone. ”

"Of course. I happen to be free, and you have at least two hours to explain your concerns. Come on. Miller hung up.

Tucker immediately locked his notebook back in the safe, then left the office with the item Eric had given him, and walked briskly to Miller's office and walked inside.

Miller seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, at least much better than he had seen in Iraq. But Tucker didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and as soon as he came to Miller, he said, "I want to try it with Eric." ”
