CHAPTER XXI

In the aftermath of 911, counterterrorism efforts have intensified around the world. This is especially true in the United States. All international airports in the United States are integrated into the Counterterrorism Information Network, and airport security organizations have the right to request investigations of suspects and theoretically have access to all intelligence resources. Sasha works as a computer clerk in this department, a job that doesn't seem to have anything to do with spies.

But she can change the information of the person under investigation when she applies for an investigation of the suspect, which allows her to track Americans' phone calls through the United States' own technology.

But that alone wasn't enough, all she needed was the exact phone number. This work was completed by another part of the agents controlled by An Nianrong, and then communicated to her with a password through the Internet. The general procedure is as follows: first, the relevant intelligence officers have determined the use of safe houses. It is not difficult to do this, but the difficult thing is how to obtain the address of the safe house, which is an almost impossible task and the most difficult task. But clever intelligence officers have found that by taking on a protective duty shift, they can find out which team has been transferred to the safe house, and of course, it will take a little time to identify the team members. Eventually, they came up with the idea of locating the team's cell phones to determine the location of the safe house.

Of course, the process is tortuous, but the approximate path is just that. Such an approach would minimize the risk to all participants in the operation. As it is now, even if the "eagle" is captured, no more information will be obtained from her.

"I didn't expect the NSA to be so efficient." Luo 'Gate' looked at the location marked on the map and was fascinated.

"This is the 'security system' circulating within the NSA." Sasha packed up her laptop. "You know why Martha is taking the lead at this time, right? Now let's go and determine the location of the safe house, and that's what you do. ”

"You're saying she has her own team?" Luo 'Men' finally couldn't help but ask her.

Sasha tied her hair in a bun at the back of her head, then put on a hat and carefully tuck her hair in.

"We don't have much time, do you want to delay these issues?"

Luo 'Gate' did not speak, and proceeded with the final inspection of the weapon. Sasha was right, these things had nothing to do with him, he just had to do his part.

He has to think about more realistic problems, how to complete the task, how to leave safely after completing the task.

After a moment of silence, Sasha suddenly asked a question.

"What if the operation is not successful?"

With a "click", Luo 'Men' let go of the bolt and put the checked gun on the table in front of him.

The corners of his mouth twitched deeply.

"I'm here to complete the mission, and I've never thought about what to do if the operation fails."

Looking at the face in front of him, which was still unfamiliar a few hours ago, Luo 'Men' remembered every detail and even every line of her body, and he would not let such a beautiful thing be ruined in his hands.

Jose has once again confirmed the positions of the players.

There are six hidden cameras around the house, four of which have night vision, allowing agents to monitor the streets from the room. Observers are set up on the rooftops to summon snipers when needed, and the snipers are working with José to monitor the 'excited' anti-sniper detection system.

This system applies the "cat's eye" principle. In the same way that a cat's eyes sparkle in the dark because the cat's retina has a stronger ability to 'shoot' back than most things, the aiming telescope on a sniper rifle is also more capable of 'shooting' back than the surrounding background, and when a 'laser' beam that is invisible to the 'naked eye' hits its surface, it produces a reflection that can be detected by the 'excited' light detection system. With this system, it is possible to detect a sniper rifle scope with a honeycomb panel, making it difficult to escape even from a camouflage net. The system is also capable of detecting other optical instruments such as night vision devices, rangefinders and telescopes. Originally, the system would be disturbed by excessive glass reflections in the city, but the CIA technicians designed their own image processing software to easily deal with the interference of unwanted reflections. As far as José knows, such systems have helped the FBI and other counterterrorism departments to mitigate many potential dangers.

Will came out of the kitchen with a plate of food in his hand.

He and his men were responsible for protecting the Oriental, including his diet.

"Jose, do you want a sandwich? There was also coffee in the kitchen. ”

José shook his head as he looked at the contents of his plate. "The guests have a good appetite."

Will grimaced. "The guests barely ate much, and this was for my people. The night is still long, and we have to maintain our strength. ”

Jose picks up a tuna sandwich. "Then I'll add some as well."

Will looked around at the glowing screens in the room. "Tonight is enough for you, and if anyone wants to sleep a little longer, they can go inside and find me."

José shook his head. "As long as we get through the 24 hours, the blue and orange teams will take over our tasks tomorrow afternoon. Is there anyone to replace you? ”

Will nodded, but he didn't know who would replace him.

"How about going out for a drink or two tomorrow, we haven't been together in a long time."

"Unfortunately, I'm going to Mexico to pick up my mother after tomorrow, and I promised to go with her to see my grandmother. If she hadn't killed me, Will, I'd call you. ”

Will, who knew Mrs. Suarez, looked at José sympathetically. "What a *** job, huh?"

At this point, an agent snapped his fingers and beckoned José to a computer.

"There was a very slow car coming from the entrance to the main street and approaching us."

José picked up his M-4 and gestured to the sniper. "Go to your rifle."

The sniper immediately ran to the ladder leading to the roof and disappeared into the skylight in the blink of an eye.

Will put down the plate in his hand, and also pulled out his Poleda 9mm automatic pistol and stood by the window.

"Is there a situation?"

José peeked out into the street from behind a thick curtain.

"It's hard to say. But the car should not drive so slowly during this time unless the person driving is looking for something. ”

Under the streetlights, the Cadillac drove slowly past their safe house.

"They stopped outside a house three hundred meters away, and someone came out to meet them." The sniper's voice came through the headphones. "They've entered the house and the alarm has been lifted."

José shrugged his shoulders, closed the curtain in front of him again, and pushed on the safety of his rifle.

"Alarm dismissed."

He loudly informed the people in the room.

Will winked at him and picked up his plate and walked to the room inside.

"Oh my God, I've got to get back inside quickly, it's nerve-wracking to be with you guys."

A member of the team walked out from behind the 'door' and spread his hands dissatisfied. "I'm not nervous, but what I don't understand is, who are we worried about? Who will come here to attack us? ”

José picked up the remaining half of the sandwich and glanced at him expressionlessly.

"I have the same problem as you, Billy. But what I'm smarter than you is that I only keep these questions to heart. Why don't you go to the kitchen and prepare something for everyone? Otherwise, with the way those people inside eat, there won't even be a box of cow's milk left in the refrigerator tomorrow morning. ”

Billy muttered as he walked into the kitchen. Jose and Steve glanced at each other, unable to understand where his anger came from.

yes, who are they worried about here? In José's mind, China is a country where bicycles are everywhere, and people there live in matchbox-sized houses. Oh yes, they have one person playing in the NBA in the United States, but this only shows that maybe only this Chinese is normal.

No, there is still a normal one in the room inside. Only abnormal people can endure that kind of way of life in that country. The TV in the room was on silent mode, and the Chinese taller than all Americans was shooting a basketball. Although in Jose's opinion, this Oriental man is a little clumsy, he also has to admit that there is not much to do with him in the alliance, whether it is a black boy or a white boy.

"He can never replace the 'big diesel,' no matter how hard he tries."

The sniper sat back down in front of the computer connected to the light-shooter and told José when he saw that he was interested in the TV, and then he added a sentence.

"He can never replace 'Aristotle the Great,' no matter how humorous he may be."

Booker is black, so it's understandable that he adores his black buddies. Jose just didn't like the way Booker spoke. Aren't the "Great Diesel" and the "Great Aristotle" one person? But if you don't understand this, you'd think he's talking about two people. Booker, unlike most of his black brethren, was quite industrious and rarely silent. But once he talks about the trivialities of life, he is still a black man.

There are constantly cars passing by the side of the house.

The game on TV was coming to an end, and the big man was too tired to straighten up.

Booker laughed. "It's not a game you can play if you're tall."

He suddenly leaned down towards the computer screen in front of him, and there was an extra bright spot on it.

"What the hell is this?"

Jose also came over. "That's a sign that the 'excited' light has found something."

Booker looked at Jose. "I scanned this area two hours ago, and I swear there wasn't this display at that time."

José sighed. "Then we'll go and see what's going on there. Booker, I'm going to go up there with you and we're going to make sure what the hell that thing is. ”

No anomalies were detected in the target area through high-powered binoculars and sniper rifles.

Changing the parameters of the image filtering software does not eliminate the on-screen reaction.

"The only distraction that the software can't eliminate is the reflection of the camera lens, and there are a lot of astronomy enthusiasts in Washington, perhaps because they change the angle when they are observing."

Booker continued to look ahead.

"Maybe it's a sudden whim of some *** maniac." José, who pressed his eyes to the telescope, muttered to himself. "But until I know for sure, this thing always makes my heart beat 'flesh'."

Booker looked away. "Maybe we should go over and take a look."

José shook his head. "I don't want to separate you at any point. We're on a conservation mission and nothing else, and if someone is really there to target us, we'll have no problem just driving him away. ”

Booker looked at him with strange eyes. "What kind of logic is this?"

José pressed his head back onto the M40A1 sniper rifle. "I mean, we don't have to go over ourselves, somebody will search that corner for us, but if someone is there, I want you to kill him with one shot."

He tapped his headphones to notify the people in the room. "Notify the SAR police of the location where the abnormal signal is found."

On an apartment building 500 meters away, Ro'men had spotted the police around the building where he had placed his 'decoy' telescope. As a sign of respect for Founding President Washington, there are very few buildings with more than eight stories in Washington, D.C., and it is not easy to find a vantage point. So Ro' had to venture to the apartment on the edge of the 500-metre zone where the phone number was marked on the map, and his freehand climbing skills came in handy.

The presence of the police indicates that there is an anti-detection system at work. CIA agents are experts, and they themselves have not come out to detect suspicious targets, so Ro'Gate can't know their location from their access, and he can't keep his telescope for too long. However, he had another method, he set the angle of the telescope was selected, so that he could calculate the direction from which the detection 'excited' beam was roughly 'emitted', and then compared with a high-precision map of the region, Luo 'Men' locked the location of the detection system on three separate houses, and Lin Yongquan should be in one of these three houses.

He came down from the upper floors and asked Sasha to drive the car past the three houses side by side.

There were three Lincoln cars parked in front of a house. One is the "Aviator", and the other two are not known by the model Luo 'Men'. This made him suddenly realize that he had been isolated from the real world for too long, so far away that when he was in this world, he was always in a trance, unable to focus on one thing.
