Chapter 138: TAO
"How could it be them?" Tang Mingxin was also a little surprised when she heard this.
It is not uncommon for people from the US National Security Agency to have surveillance organizations on the mainland, but it is a bit strange that they actually arrested Lin Xiao to imprison.
"For specific reasons, I think Director Lin himself should know something." Commissioner Li stared at Lin Xiao and said, his eyes were burning, obviously he knew some inside information.
Lin Xiao frowned and retreated, he was obviously a little entangled in this result.
If the other party is just an overseas pharmaceutical company or some organization, then it is okay to kill a few people, but if the other party still has a CIA background, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.
After all, US-China relations have always been a very sensitive issue, and neither side dares to make too many mistakes, lest it cause unimaginable serious consequences.
In this case, his idea of finding the other party's lair and solving the problem once and for all was almost in vain.
"I heard them tell me about the conditions, it is nothing more than that they have taken a fancy to my acupuncture anesthesia technique, as well as some other secret techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, and want to use my life safety as a condition to coerce me into agreeing to do things for them." Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "I just thought they were some overseas medical organization or something, but I didn't expect that they would have a background in the US National Security Agency." ”
"We're in control of that, too." Commissioner Li said, "The monitoring equipment in the small building has been cracked by us. yb][du].] It's clear, but it's just a little strange to us, how did your little leopard get trained? ”
In fact, whether it is the police or the national security personnel, they are very interested in Lin Xiao's little leopard, especially after seeing the little leopard crawl out of the ventilation duct and complete the procedure of calling for help, they are even more fascinated.
Although police dogs can also complete some simple tasks, they are also very limited, and in many places they are not as good as leopards.
"It's called gold." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "The innate spirituality is not trained later, that is, recognize me, others can't." ”
Lin Xiao now attaches great importance to gold, and he feels that this little guy is getting more and more interesting.
Therefore, even if Commissioner Li's voice revealed the idea of wanting to attract gold, he would turn a blind eye and would not be able to agree to any of his requests.
"That's ......" Commissioner Li listened, but didn't say anything, and instead led the topic to the small building where Lin Xiao was held, "After our careful investigation, we found that the monitoring equipment used in that small building is the same as the white box used by the Americans in the embassy, and their listening habits are also the same as the CIA's usual methods." ”
"What are they going to do?" When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
In fact, the fact that the Americans set up white boxes overseas and spied on various countries has been widely spread for a long time.
Earlier, Americans' European allies revealed the secret that the United States used a mysterious white box in its embassies abroad to spy on surrounding communications.
After this incident fermented, the leaders of the EU countries found that they were all being monitored by the Americans, and they immediately became furious and criticized one after another, and the United States was also a little caught off guard and somewhat lost ground.
It's just that I didn't expect that this kind of thing has also been found in China now, and it was found in an ordinary prefecture-level city, such a result is really surprising and a little incredible.
In a place like Bishui City, what is it that is worth the CIA's efforts to monitor?
In fact, not only Lin Xiao couldn't figure it out, but Commissioner Li and Tang Mingxin couldn't figure it out either.
"A while ago, U.S. embassies and consulates in various countries had white boxes of different shapes, which were very eye-catching." Commissioner Lee said, "U.S. intelligence officers have access to a large amount of mobile phone information and other secrets through this device. Israeli intelligence analysts say that the white box on top of the U.S. embassy hides super-advanced eavesdropping devices that can overhear all conversations, even some encrypted phone calls. ”
The white box can be said to be the outpost of the United States to spy on the world, and the background is the TAO organization under the US National Security Agency, which is the most elite intelligence unit of the US National Security Agency and has been in operation since 1997.
TAO can not only enter the computer systems, Internet systems and communication systems of foreign dignitaries and enterprises, but also listen on phone calls, crack other people's email passwords, obtain intelligence, and even remotely destroy the computer systems of other countries and enterprises to launch large-scale hacker attacks.
It is said that the TAO organization has more than 600 cutting-edge scientific and technological talents, who are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some of these overseas employees were CIA and FBI agents.
It is technically possible to carry out remote cyber attacks, but it is more difficult to carry out remote telephone interception, so it is necessary to set up the necessary relay stations, especially now that mobile phones are widespread.
The white box at the top of the U.S. embassy and consulate is the forward station of the TAO organization, which can collect and monitor all kinds of data and phone calls, and transmit them to the rear for processing.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that someone actually set up a white box in Bishui City, and it has been in working condition.
This discovery is indeed shocking, and it is no wonder that the National Security Headquarters sent a commissioner down to solve the problem.
"The so-called white box is actually a radio receiving antenna device, which can be seen in many embassies, and it is actually a device like a satellite receiving antenna." Commissioner Li explained, "The white box statement has nothing to do with appearance, because some countries are black, and the principle is to use radio equipment to intercept information through radio wave transmission, whether it is plain language or confidential telephone, can be intercepted." The surface of the white box is actually coated with a wave-transmitting material, which is light and thin, and a lot of radar waves, including some sound waves from monitoring, can enter the monitoring equipment in the device. ”
"After we tested it, we found that there were still some glass-like dents on the roof of the small building. These dents are not smooth and are hidden in the surrounding marble. But it's made of a special material that allows even the slightest RF signal to pass through, and the listening devices are hidden behind the glass curtains that allow the radio to pass through. Commissioner Li said, "If it weren't for the fact that you were caught by them, we really didn't know that Bishui City had actually become a secret listening station for them." ”
"In that case, it's a blessing in disguise?" Lin Xiao asked.
However, this kind of thing, it must be the police and local national security who will benefit, Lin Xiao, as the party, although he has been focused on, it is impossible for someone to give him a medal or something.
"It's a bit of a pity that I didn't catch this guy." Commissioner Li replied with a smile.
Unlike the people in the embassy, they have diplomatic immunity, so they can spy under the guise of diplomats, and even if you know about it, you can't rush in and arrest them, at most you can condemn them morally, and then strongly protest or something.
But this group of people in Bishui City is different, they are not diplomats, they are purely spies engaged in spying.
If these people are caught, they will certainly be able to gain great initiative in the intelligence work against the United States, and then slap them in the face.
"It's a pity." Lin Xiao also felt a little regretful.
If he catches these people and touches the melons, he will definitely be able to understand the ins and outs of the whole thing, and then it will also be beneficial to his own safety.
Commissioner Li came over this time and asked more detailed questions, including the previous assassinations of Lin Xiao, which were also within the scope of his questions.
The two of them talked for about an hour before they ended the conversation.
"Thank you Director Lin for your cooperation, if you need anything in the future, I hope to contact us as soon as possible......" Commissioner Li finally said.
"Okay." Lin Xiao agreed.
Although he doesn't like to deal with people from the state security very much, he also knows that the people of the state security are more capable of action than the police, and if he has contact with them, sometimes it will be more convenient to do things, after all, some of their arrangements in the dark are very powerful.
Tang Mingxin was in the car that sent Lin Xiao back, so he said to him, "The original stones you lost have been found." ”
"Huh? Where was it found? Got someone? Lin Xiao was thinking about things, and suddenly heard Tang Mingxin say this, and suddenly became a little concerned.
"In the small building where you were found to be imprisoned, it seems that the person who caused the theft of your bedroom was with them all the way." Tang Mingxin explained.
"It seems that they should have been following me for a long time......" After Lin Xiao heard this, he began to think about this question.
In fact, ever since he was rescued from the small building, Lin Xiao had begun to seriously consider this issue.
Why is the other party always able to intercept him halfway? Why did those people trick him into Xiaolou and just lock him up, but didn't immediately get rid of him? Why are these people involved in the NSA again?
These seemingly unrelated issues are actually faintly linked.
Lin Xiao felt that behind the whole thing, there must be more than just a group of people doing it, otherwise, it would be impossible for two intentions to appear.
Among these people, there is a group of people who want to get rid of him as soon as possible, and another group of people who want to control Lin Xiao and have no intention of killing him, the intentions between them are obviously full of contradictions, so it is impossible to be all the way.
Lin Xiao thought about it for a while, and felt that the problem was not particularly serious on the NSA TAO's side, but what was the origin of the other group of people was worth scrutinizing.
If he didn't get rid of them, Lin Xiao would always have some uneasy sleep.
After all, the feeling of being chased and killed at any time is simply terrible!
But now the situation has changed again, when he directly destroyed one of Tao's secret strongholds, will Tao still be so polite to him?
The answer is absolutely no.
"All of a sudden, I'm in big trouble again." Lin Xiao scratched his head and said.
