Chapter 9: The Scourge of Skull USB Drives (1)
As soon as she returned to Beverly 5 in Chinatown, Lin Si'er climbed directly to the third floor, and sure enough, she found that it was very different from what she saw here in the morning.
She saw that all the furniture in the houses had been left in its place, but all the books, magazines, and other materials, including the old publications and newspapers that had been piled up in the corridor, and the special world map with the "four-legged eagle claw" on the wall, which was full of imprints, were all emptied and removed, and there was not a single scrap of paper left.
Even the debris that was originally stuffed in the trash can was cleaned up. Unexpectedly, Gesfen was so cautious that she didn't leave a trace at all.
Harder?
Lin Si'er remembered that when she was a columnist for a magazine in the United States, she had seen some materials related to Harder Company through some specific channels.
At that time, she was asked to write a public safety review article for the magazine, and the editor recommended several influential reports to her for her reference.
One of them is provided by Harder.
It is said that Harder has a very close relationship with a joint group called Intelligence Online in the Senate and House of Representatives, and in addition to the financial assistance provided to it by the Falkden Fund Committee, Harder itself has many sources of income.
It is nominally a consulting firm, but in reality it is a non-governmental think tank that studies the fields of diplomacy, military, economics and energy.
The Harder logo is a bronze "four-legged eagle claw" against a background of a globe. This meaning, which means that the field in which it is active, can be infinitely expanded and penetrated into every corner of the whole world.
Within Harder, there are many super well-known experts in the industry; Externally, there are numerous first-hand intelligence sources and collection systems.
Many countries around the world have invited Harder to sign a service contract to conduct strategic analysis on some major professional topics of interest.
Not only that, Harder has also signed intelligence-sharing agreements with the United States Intelligence Agency, British MI6 and other units.
In recent years, it has also been rumored that the Harder Company is recruiting veterans who have served in the elite forces of various countries, and training a large number of armed personnel and special mercenaries of security companies.
As for the little-known Sanlan branch of Harder Company, Lin Si'er heard of it for the first time today.
But she was now almost certain that Lu Zhichao was involved in Gersfen's work, and most likely had betrayed her soul.
It is clear that it no longer matters whether he was personally willing or coerced or bought.
"Lu Zhichao, it turns out that he is a man with evil intentions!"
When Lin Si'er thought of this, she shuddered, and began to feel that at this time, in Beverly Five, there was a kind of terror that threw herself into a net, squeezing before the iceberg shattered.
Now that it has been discovered that Lu Zhichao is a spy, he will be like all trained agents, unscrupulous and kills people like chickens.
Maybe in Beverly Five's room, he has a deadly weapon at his fingertips, and he has a deadly weapon hidden anywhere in the house.
For a whole afternoon, Lin Si'er was like a headless fly, scurrying in various rooms upstairs and downstairs.
In fact, last night, Lin Si'er found that the desktop computer she had used in her study was gone; And in Lu Zhichao's study, his computer is also gone.
On a day-to-day basis, both of them are equipped with their own laptops for portable use, while desktop computers are used to handle large volumes of documents, pictures, and are convenient for use at home.
So Lin Si'er thought that the desktop computer had already been occupied by Gesfen on the third floor. And I also witnessed that black Del, under his nose, moved the host of these two computers away from Beverly Five.
Obviously, the computer must have hidden the ulterior secrets of Lu Zhichao and Ge Sifen.
After going around the yard a few times, Lin Si'er didn't come up with a very risky idea in her heart until the evening, and she had to complete the operation before Lu Zhichao came back tomorrow night.
took a hot bath very comfortably, and Lin Si'er thought she would have a good night's sleep. But in the middle of the night, the endless dull pain in her liver forced her to get up from bed and swallow two large doses of aspirin to feel better.
Lin Si'er first felt discomfort in her liver, when she rushed to Huai from the capital of Huaguo, Hua Nianping was reported by his real name, and the authorities have tried him in another place. In order to clarify the facts and prove Hua Nianping's innocence, she traveled between several cities for many days.
At that time, there had been intermittent dull pain in the liver, and she thought that maybe it was because she was too nervous and tired to take it to heart.
Fortunately, Hua Nian's grievance case was snowed, and Lin Sier said goodbye to him in tears at the airport in Huaishi.
Later, when she returned to Beijing, she considered going to the hospital for a liver function test.
However, because the air ticket to Sanli City has been booked, and the need to handle the resignation and work handover of the "Social Weekly" magazine, and at the same time, I have to say goodbye to many friends one after another, so I have to wait until I arrive in the United States and find time to do an in-depth physical health examination.
……
Lin Si'er appeared at the CM.CN company next to the city square at nine o'clock in the morning.
She found No. 28 and went upstairs directly to Lu Zhichao's office.
Colini was surprised to see Lin Si'er coming in quickly, and immediately got up to greet him.
"How could Madame suddenly be free to come to the company?" Colini's face was full of courtesy, "If you have anything, just give me an order on the phone, and I will send someone over immediately!" ”
"There are some things that you can't do by bothering you!" Lin Si'er looked domineering: "Zhichao will come back from Paris tonight, and I am going to his office now to see if he comes to work tomorrow, what is not well arranged." ”
"I have been Mr. Lu's secretary for seven or eight years, and I have always been organized, so Madame can rest assured."
Colini blocked Lin Si'er at the door of Lu Zhichao's office, grinning, but did not take out the key to open the door.
"Now that I'm here, I'm going to see it with my own eyes to rest assured." Lin Si'er was very stubbornly insisting.
"However, Mr. Lu has instructed that no one is allowed to set foot in his office if he is not there!" Colini looked hesitant and embarrassed.
"Anyone, you mean that includes me?" Lin Si'er couldn't believe it, and asked in a sarcastic tone.
"I think so, ma'am!" Colini mustered up courage and replied without hesitation.
"Colini, I seem to have told you very clearly yesterday that now all the problems between me and Zhichao have been resolved." Lin Si'er's eyes were stern, and her tone was soft and hidden, with shrew-like viciousness, "Do you have your own plans and don't want our husband and wife to reconcile?" ”
