Chapter 498: The Cat and the Mouse Game (3)
"Boss, this is a record of today's target's activities, the target has contacted a total of three Chinese staff of the R&D department of SAL company today, we have verified with Mr. Zhao Jianwu, vice president of SAL, these three Chinese staff are all project director-level leaders, and the scope of their contact with the project includes some of the combination with military projects. To date, the target has been in contact with approximately 20 SAL personnel, most of whom are key personnel with a background in the development of military projects, and from the information extracted from the target suit, there is no doubt that the target is very interested in the project in which Dr. Duke of SAL is involved. ”
Wan He stood by the window opposite Matt's apartment, listening to the report of his subordinates, and under the thick curtains, a high-powered telescope was facing Matt's room, and the other was facing the exit of Matt's unit door.
As a MIA agent, Wan He is a group of monitoring personnel sent by Qin Tairan, specifically to keep an eye on those CIA agents who are highly suspected to be close to Duke's surroundings, and Matt is the key monitoring target that Qin Tairan and Kong Xiangcheng have screened out from the countless information obtained by the Seventh Bureau.
Because at this sensitive moment, the timing of Matt's appearance was too coincidental, and Matt's activities in various R&D institutions of SAL were too active, in Qin Tairan's eyes, a real business manager should not be so dedicated and have such loose business expenses, Matt for the sake of public relations SAL, these gold collars, too often haunt high-end clubs in Chengdu.
There is no way, for these gold collars of SAL, their salary income is the best in China, which is enough to support their high consumption, because the salary of R&D personnel given by Cai Siqiang and Duke is internationally competitive, and the R&D personnel of SAL in different countries basically maintain the same salary for the same position, that is to say, whether he is in Europe, the United States, or China, the salary of the same position is the same.
Therefore, the income and consumption of SAL collars are quite international, and Matt has to upgrade the level to adapt to this situation, which inevitably leads to huge consumer spending.
Snyder has the ability to allocate resources with almost no budget restrictions, and he naturally supports Matt's reasonable consumption expenditure, without a little discount, and Snyder has completed the repayment of Matt's business expenses in a timely manner in the United States for Matt's business expenses.
Neither Snyder nor Matt expected that Matt would be targeted so quickly, and the flaws in this financial expenditure became one of Matt's biggest anomalous behaviors. In addition, Matt is particularly active in business, but he is too perfect in his personal life, and some clever secrecy tricks set up in the apartment show a different sense of secrecy and caution.
By monitoring Matt's information, Qin Tairan and Kong Xiangcheng have already determined that this Matt is an agent sent by the CIA to find out about Duke. It's just that it's not yet known whether Matt is a person or a group of people, because the surveillance personnel have not yet found Matt's joint personnel.
According to Qin Tairan's experience, Matt's target should be a relatively peripheral auxiliary personnel, judging from Matt's current behavior, although Matt's appearance is suspicious, there is not much real place to use as a handle, and the information he collects is all routine information casually said by the employees of SAL company, if you are not a person with special motives, you can't feel anything wrong at all, and these behaviors are not even enough reason to expel Matt from the country.
In other words, although Matt showed his flaws, Qin Tairan and none of them had an official reason to solve it.
However, Qin Tairan's purpose was not to drive Matt out of the country, he sent Wanhe's team to keep an eye on Matt closely, to find out which CIA hidden nails he was connected with, Qin Tairan wanted to dig out the CIA's nails buried deep in China through Matt, which is the most important thing.
Although some of SAL's employees may have access to some local information about military projects, in addition to exposing Duke's role and some progress information, other military values are actually very limited, because they only do some detailed work, and they have no opportunity to contact the comprehensive information of the project under the cloud R&D platform established by Duke.
It is precisely because of this that Qin Tairan is not afraid that Matt will jump up and down and work the R&D personnel of SAL Company, since Duke's role has become an open secret of the CIA, there is actually no need to keep it secret in this regard.
Qin Tairan's task to Wanhe's team was very clear, he didn't interfere with Matt's actions at all, just stared at him closely, saw who he was in contact with, and then figured out the identity and origin of these people, and identified the nails that might be hidden by the CIA, even if the task was completed, as for these suspicious nails, Qin Tairan would hand them over to the people in the national security system to verify, and then send people to continue to keep an eye on them until the entire network was found.
However, until today, after listening to Matt's contact eavesdropping recording report and secret tracking report, the Wanhe team still did not find any suspicious information about Matt's contact with the local CIA's hidden nails.
The SAL staff members that Matt came into contact with had clear backgrounds, and there was basically nothing to dig into. Other than that, Matt lives in seclusion, either staying in Di Mart's office, resting in his apartment, and occasionally going out to visit places of interest.
This person doesn't even go to nightclubs alone, and it seems that he is extremely self-disciplined. Wanhe faced such a slippery opponent, there has been no progress for more than 2 weeks, although in front of his subordinates, Wanhe still has a calm look, but in his heart, Wanhe is actually a little anxious about the fact that things have not progressed.
Being able to work under a rising star in the army is a kind of opportunity and fate, originally at the level of Wanhe, according to the general situation, it is not enough to reach the direct leadership of Qin Tairan's level, he has not been to the level of deputy department for two years, if it is not for his English proficiency in the military intelligence system, the opportunity of such a major task force will not be on his turn at all.
Like this kind of opportunity, which may only be available once in a lifetime, Wan He is of course very concerned, he urgently needs to make achievements in his work to enter the eyes of Qin Tairan, the rising star of the military world.
But this Matt doesn't look like a simple stepping stone to Wanhe's progress.
Wanhe's mind quickly flashed in his mind what Matt has done since he entered the surveillance, which is to constantly talk to various R&D personnel who may use Dimat's chip products, just like carrying out regular promotional work, if it weren't for the fact that most of these people are employees of SAL, Qin Tairan They haven't found anything suspicious about Matt.
But even if Matt is suspicious, the R&D personnel he contacted are basically innocent people after investigation, and there are no suspicious characters in Wanhe's imagination, which means that Matt has not contacted the CIA's nails in China so far, whether it is through technical means to comprehensively monitor Matt's network connection or communication tools, or closely monitor Matt's contact objects, Matt has no external contact.
It seems that he only came to collect all kinds of information, and did not transmit information to the outside world at all, this abnormal situation, after being summed up, made Qin Tairan, a veteran agent, very strange. Could it be that this Matt is just a low-level peripheral information gatherer? Qin Tairan guessed.
But judging from Matt's shot, Qin Tairan felt that it was not quite like that, according to the authority of a peripheral agent, Matt should not have the financial resources to carry out his work in terms of the use of funds.
Qin Tairan is a veteran of this industry, what level of agent has how many resources and expenses, Qin Tairan knows in his heart, after all, this line of work needs to be limited by the budget in the final analysis, and the activity funds are always limited, and sometimes in order to obtain particularly urgently needed intelligence information, he may be able to obtain special approval funds, but most of the time, the activity funds of each agent are very limited.
Just like Qin Tairan in the United States, he can apply for a car for Duke as a work benefit, but the purchase amount must be limited to a certain amount range, and Duke will not be allowed to do as he pleases.
Matt made a bold move, and Qin Tairan's intuition should be a "dramatic" object, so Qin Tairan sent a team equipped with a strong team to comprehensively track Matt, among the dozen or so military intelligence agency agent teams he is now dispatching, Wanhe's team is the most well-equipped, with computer experts, eavesdropping experts, etc., as well as Wanhe, a senior agent at the deputy department level, Qin Tairan put the main force and breakthrough on Matt, a seemingly arrogant, but actually very measured agent.
Of course, Wan He knew the status of his group in the minds of the leaders, so he was even more anxious to break through as soon as possible.
It's just that Matt doesn't move, Wanhe has no way at all, and it's useless to be anxious, but fortunately, although Wanhe is in a hurry, the rules and regulations of doing things are still not chaotic, and he still monitors Matt from afar in a decent way, and is not trying to use any other measures to promote this process.
As a senior senior agent, he knows that the more times like this, the more he must calm down and not make any mistakes, the opponent is undoubtedly a cunning person, and any small mistake may cause the opponent to be vigilant.
Therefore, after listening to the report, Wan He instructed his subordinates to be cautious and cautious, not to get too close to the opponent, and to be willing to do nothing than make mistakes.
Anyway, it's the snake that always has a time when he comes out of the hole. No matter how cunning Matt is, as long as he wants to do things, then it is impossible to slip like this all the time without leaving his hands. It is precisely because he has not even figured out the opponent's external contact information for so long that Wanhe feels that Matt has a lot of potential to be tapped, maybe this time he is staring at a big fish.
(Sorry, there is only one shift today, and I will make up for it when I go home the day after tomorrow)
