Jimmy had been watching Bourne, who had been rummaging through Watson's office, then picking up the phone, hanging up after a while, before crouching down and opening the safe under the back cabinet. Jimmy had seen the safe before, and he had been to Watson's office more than once or twice, scanning everything in the office without Watson noticing it at all.

Byrne took something out of the safe, put it in his backpack, and turned to leave Watson's office.

"Bang bang" two gunshots, Jimmy turned his gaze, the gunfire just now came from the direction of the command center, Jimmy saw a person rushing towards the glass door, the gunshot just now should be open to the glass, watching the figure break the glass and come out, Jimmy found that it was Kerry.

Kerry ran straight to Watson's office, quickly picked up his cell phone and dialed out, followed by the chaos in the building, starting with multiple people running downstairs and upstairs, not waiting for the elevator to go down the fire staircase, and then down Jimmy was nowhere to be seen.

Although he couldn't see it, Jimmy could still guess what they were going to do.

The current situation should be that the safe was opened, triggering some kind of mechanism that made it clear to Watson that someone had entered his office, and then arranged for Kerry to check it. Kerry found that the office safe had been opened and the contents were gone, so he naturally called Watson to inform him, and then began to arrange for everyone to cordon off the building, even excluding the surrounding blockade.

The Counter-Terrorism Bureau nominally belongs to the DHS Department of Homeland Security, and it wasn't much of a problem to lock down a block for a short time, and Jimmy wasn't surprised, but it was clear that they were going to fail, because by the time Kerry ran to Watson's office, Bourne had already run away, and with this time difference, it was enough for him to leave the building and run outside.

Jimmy didn't get up and come out, and now the building was almost empty, leaving only the people in the command center and a few people in some offices. If he comes forward now, there is a good chance that he will be asked to assist them in dealing with it.

Obviously, this is an internal matter of the CIA, Jimmy waited in the office for a long time, but he didn't receive a call, and no one came to him, it seems that Watson thinks that this is their CIA's business, and there is no need for Jimmy, the FBI, to intervene, so Jimmy can only watch them busy in the command center with his heart.

The busiest was obviously the only person standing, Kerry, and although Jimmy could only guess from his size, he was the only one who had command on the spot.

After waiting for a while, it was close to noon, and Mahon called first to ask about Jimmy's condition. He didn't go to work normally today, Ma Hong didn't see anyone until noon, he had to call to confirm, if there was another attack or something, then the day would not be over, and he had to be ruthless.

Fortunately, he learned that Jimmy was arranged by Hughes to deal with something, although he bypassed Mahon a little disrespectfully, but he could also understand that people like Jimmy definitely had a place in Hughes's heart, and he must have to be assigned a task like this.

When it was lunchtime, Jimmy didn't even go downstairs to lunch, he waited in the conference room, and he never left the room at all, except to go to the bathroom.

Hughes's call still came, there was no news from Jimmy all morning, even the calm Hughes was a little worried about Jimmy's situation, after learning that Watson's side had an emergency to leave, Jimmy had been waiting in the conference room for a long time, Hughes didn't say anything, let Jimmy wait patiently.

Well, Jimmy was also muttering in his heart, Hughes gave a note with a phone number, which he had memorized, and now the biggest question was whose number it was, so that Hughes could be so nervous to let him deal with it.

Jimmy believed that Hughes wanted to keep it secret, so he didn't investigate on the FBI side, because the CTA side can access the NSA and the NSA, so theoretically the CTA is the easiest place to investigate the complete data in addition to applying directly to the NSA.

I don't know what taboo this person committed against Hughes, let him target him so much, maybe Hughes will find himself to deal with something later, after all, he is already an old man, and it is estimated that it is enough to let him personally deal with any major matters, and he always has to arrange operational personnel.

After waiting for a while, Jimmy went downstairs to find a roadside food truck to get lunch and hurried back, I don't know what happened to Watson, anyway, Jimmy never waited for their news.

Until the evening, Jimmy finally waited for Watson to come back, but it seemed that Watson was in a bad mood, and it was estimated that Bourne didn't catch it and ran away again.

Watching Watson return to his office, Jimmy got up and left the conference room for Watson's office. The office was invaded, and Watson had to be given a little time to tidy up, and by the time Jimmy arrived outside Watson's office, Watson was already sitting in his chair.

"Dongdong" Jimmy knocked on the door, and Watson glanced up and beckoned him into the office, "Please come in." ”

Watson: "Jimmy, you're still there?" What's the matter? ”

Jimmy: "Director Watson, Director Hughes asked me to come to you, he said he had already told you. ”

Watson was stunned for a moment, then nodded as Jimmy took the note out of his pocket and placed it on Watson's desk.

Jimmy: "Director Watson, Director Hughes wants me to go back with the papers. ”

Watson was clearly in a very bad mood, but he took a deep breath, nodded, picked up the landline and called Kerry over.

Watson: "Kerry, investigate this number, give him the information." ”

Kerry nodded, beckoning Jimmy to leave Watson's office and go to the command center.

On the way, Jimmy casually asked, "Kerry, what happened today?" ”

Kerry shook his head: "I can't say. ”

In fact, the command center of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau is 24 hours a day, and there are people who have been working in shifts, so it will not appear that they come to the command center and find that no one can operate the system to investigate.

The mobile phone number was handed over to them, and the corresponding call records and location information were quickly retrieved from the system. Jimmy saw that the location of the mobile phone displayed on the monitor was a little numb, and originally thought that the person Hughes was looking for should be in New York, and it was convenient to deal with, but the signal showed that he was actually in Albany.

The mobile phone number is a bearer number, and there is no way to confirm the corresponding identity, but with the call record and address, it can be regarded as achieving the goal, Kerry arranged for someone to use a USB flash drive to save the latest call record for Jimmy, Jimmy took it and thanked him and left, and asked Kerry to help him give Watson a separate supervisor.

Even though it was night, Jimmy didn't wait, he drove directly to Hughes's house and gave Hughes a USB flash drive in the study.

Hughes: "What's going on today?" You've been in the CTC all day? ”

Jimmy: "I don't know what's going on with the CTA today, they were all out there when I arrived in the morning, and Watson was all gone, leaving only Kerry and the people in the command center.

And something very strange happened, it seemed that the Anti-Terrorism Bureau had been hacked and something should have been lost, but no one told me what was going on, so I waited in the conference room all day and didn't come back until the evening. ”

Hughes frowned and thought for a while and shook his head, "There were no special terrorist attacks today, no explosions, no mass shootings, and the CTA shouldn't have had this kind of reaction." ”

He picked up the USB flash drive and turned on the computer, "Jimmy, wait for me outside for a while." ”

It seems that Hughes is going to keep these call logs to himself, Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and went to the living room, Hughes's wife poured him a glass of ice water, and the two sat on the couch and chatted and watched boring TV series.

Speaking of which, this is Jimmy's first time at Hughes's house, and he has been in New York for more than two years, and his first time coming to the boss can be regarded as a successful entry into his small circle.

Hughes listened to some of the call logs and beckoned Jimmy to the study.

Hughes pulled the USB stick off the computer, "Jimmy, now I'll tell you something, about your OPR investigation, the assault, and the guilt. ”

Jimmy immediately sat up straight, his brain cells have really died a lot in the recent period, from the beginning of the attack, it was a bit too much to say that they were headless flies, but at that time there was really little information, and he could only rely on himself to guess a possibility to investigate, and in the end there was a wrong direction, and a gangster attack was made by them into a bombing follow-up.

Hughes told Jimmy what he had, including the behind-the-scenes factors that the middleman Thomas said.

Hughes: "The initial report from DC's OPR team investigating the ghost and his contacts is very unreliable. Derek is also an experienced veteran detective, and it is impossible to buy him with a liaison who doesn't know anything, but he has never said who is behind the scenes, and only confesses to one contact.

The contact, Pete Chambers, refused to provide information, only providing an anonymous phone number, saying that he had no idea who was on the other side of the phone, and that it was all about playing tricks. As an intermediary, he can't do such a thing without knowing one side at all, so he must be lying.

The biggest problem lies in DC's OPR, there is absolutely something wrong with their interrogation, and it is not even ruled out that they also have the possibility of internal ghosts, and they are no longer reliable. ”

Jimmy crossed his hands, and gradually strained his hands, or there were few sources of information, if they had known that there were these behind-the-scenes stories, how could they waste so many days, although Hughes added a definite sentence when he said it, there was a certain possibility, but to let Hughes say it meant that he had already believed in his own speculation.

Hughes: "There are two more things, first, the intermediary who contacted me, Thomas, is missing, I found someone to investigate, but I haven't found any clues yet, and I suspect that something has happened." His family has called the police, but the police investigation has yielded no results.

Second, the person who contacted Thomas to come to me was Josh, who was said to be the person from Councillor Blair, but my people didn't find this person, they just got a mobile phone number from a private channel, which is the one you asked to go to the CTA to investigate. ”

Jimmy: "I don't know much about politicians, who is this Brier Councillor?" ”

Hughes shook his head: "Councilor Blair is a senior senator, this incident should have nothing to do with him, you don't have to think about him."

The key is to find that Josh, this time Thomas should have been confused by him, when contacting me to deal with the body, Josh arranged for someone to launch an OPR investigation against you, and the subsequent attacks should also be related to him, but no clues have been found to link them yet. ”

Jimmy nodded, "I see." ”

Hughes: "Okay, that's the general thing, until we find Josh, this attack can only be paused for a while, you guys don't spend too much time on this, deal with the other eucalyptus." ”

Jimmy: "Hughes, can you give me a copy of the recording?" ”

Hughes: "I've already arranged for someone to investigate his identity, so you don't need to intervene." ”

Jimmy: "I'm not going to do anything, Hughes, trust me, if I'm going to investigate, I'll tell you in advance." ”

Hughes thought for a moment, copied the recording to the computer, and returned the USB stick to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Anything else?" ”

Hughes shook his head, Jimmy, "Then I'll go back first, good night, Hughes." ”

-----------------

Jimmy drove away from Hughes's house, this time things were a bit troublesome, he still needed to think about it, and sort out the twists and turns, there were a lot of things going on these days, and he needed to sort it out to figure out how the timeline was arranged here.

】

There is also Lu Yinzi, Hughes has already said just now, during this time, Lu Yinzi has been dealing with the affairs of the inner ghost, it can be said that in addition to Hughes, Lu Yinzi is the most involved.

Seeing that it wasn't too late, Jimmy called Ruyinz while driving and asked him out for a drink.

Jimmy really hasn't done this kind of temporary call out for a drink, but fortunately, Lu Yinzi doesn't seem to be at home, and the background sound can be heard on the phone is still a little noisy, and it shouldn't be a big problem to turn around. Ruinz didn't refuse, but asked Jimmy to wait a little longer.

Jimmy parked his car in the parking lot and walked to the bar, where there were still a lot of people, and the seats in front of Jimmy's favorite bar were full.

Jimmy stood around the corner of the bar and knocked on the bar, "Woody, get me a drink." ”

With his glass in hand, Jimmy came to a small round table near the corner, where he waited for Ruinz. After more than half an hour, Ruyinzi finally came, Jimmy raised his hand to say hello, making sure that he was waiting here after seeing him, and Ruyinzi also came over with a glass of wine.

Lu Yinzi: "You kid is really good at finding time, let's say, what's the matter with calling me over?" ”

Jimmy looked around and moved his chair to sit next to Ruyinz: "I went to Hughes's house tonight, and he told me about the ghost and my investigation by the OPR, you should know all about this, right?" ”

Lu Yinzi nodded, he is not a man of many words, although these things are related to Jimmy, but Hughes obviously didn't want Jimmy to deal with it before, so he has always kept it a secret and never said it to Jimmy.

Jimmy: "Is there anything I need to know?" ”

Ruinz drank and thought about what to say, because he was not involved in the conversation between Jimmy and Hughes, and he didn't know how much Jimmy knew, "What do you want to know?" ”

Jimmy: "Who is in charge of the OPR's investigation into me?" ”

Lu Yinzi shook his head: "At present, it is certain that Derek of the OPR launched an investigation of you after receiving the notice from the intermediary, but he did not do it himself, but after communicating with Agent Fuller, he let Fuller lead the investigation of you." ”

Jimmy: "Is Fuller suspicious?" ”

Ruyinz: "No, judging from the results of the investigation that has been investigated, Fuller is not suspicious, I suspect that he will only investigate you next in order to do more eucalyptus, and it is not even ruled out that he knows that Derek is going to investigate you, and he took the initiative to ask for Eucalyptus from Derek's side." ”

Jimmy's eyes widened, "I don't have a grudge against Fuller, do I?" Why is it targeting me? ”

Ruyinz shrugged: "They are OPR, and if they want to be promoted and raised, they are destined to attack internally." I think you're just unlucky, I just happened to run into him who is relatively idle now, and Hughes applied for a promotion for you, and he also needs an internal investigation, anyway, it's all eucalyptus, and it's all a credit for doing it well, and it won't have any impact on him if there is no evidence, so why not do it? ”
