Mahon lost a gunman here, he can only go back to continue the investigation of the previous mobile phone, the corresponding recording has been obtained from the NSA (National Security Agency), but the content of the call is very simple, when the landline phone called, it just said to go to New York, there is a mission, and the anonymous phone only notified him to pick up something.

The only thing of value is a mini warehouse.

Mahon took people directly to the yacht marina at the southern end of Manhattan and obtained the surveillance footage from the mini warehouse operating company, although there was no video at the entrance of each warehouse, at least the surveillance could see the footage on the entrance and the main passageway.

According to the time of the call, Ma Hong and the others determined the whereabouts of the gunman based on the surveillance, and finally found the location of the warehouse where he took the equipment. DHS Department of Homeland Security came forward and did not even apply for a search warrant, and the warehouse operating company has arranged for someone to contact the warehouse renter and open the warehouse for them to investigate.

Before the warehouse was investigated, something went wrong on the renter's side, and the phone number left behind could not be contacted, and the agent who went to check the address left by the hirer also replied that there was no such person at all.

Again, this kind of false identity is so common in the United States that when it happens, it's no surprise to everyone. In this case, there is actually good news, although the mobile phone cannot be reached, but the mobile phone number can still be investigated.

Through the investigation of the NSA, it has been determined that the mobile phone number is a bearer phone, and it has now been turned off. All that remains is to wait for the NSA to try to find the previous records, and at the same time, Ma Hong and the others also arranged for someone to copy the footage and go back to investigate the people who went to this warehouse to see if they can determine who actually sent the equipment to the gunman.

The progress of the investigation is still very smooth, the person who sent the equipment has been determined, and the direction he came from has been investigated through the entrance monitoring, and the investigation continues according to the road monitoring, and this person can basically be found.

So far, the investigation has gone well, although there are not many clues, but it has exceeded the previous progress.

Of course, the good news is not limited to this, and the DHS investigation has also obtained preliminary results.

DHS agents went directly to the lobbying company to investigate, which is a small lobbying firm with only a dozen people, and there are not many people, so it is more convenient to investigate.

One of the lobbying companies had disappeared a few days earlier, and the company could not be contacted, and the disappeared employees became their top targets. Upon breaking into his home, something special was found in one of the rooms.

In a hidden room, a room of worship is set up for the Green Cult's related things, and there is also a satellite phone and a small radio station, the frequency of which has been adjusted to the police channel, which can be turned on to receive DC police communications.

Bernard Conwell, 35, single, an employee of the lobbying company, disappeared a few days ago and the company has not been contacted. We found a room of worship from his home, and his colleagues had never heard of him practicing the Green Religion, and found some clues from the room.

At the same time, we investigated Jimmy's previous eucalyptus, and one of the eucalyptus related to them has never been finished, and the mastermind of the explosion of eucalyptus, Nur Mohammed, has not been caught since he fled to Paris.

Judging from the existing eucalyptus, it is possible that he contacted people in the country to retaliate. ”

DHS agents summoned Mahon to the conference room to present the findings of the Washington side of the investigation, while also expressing their speculations, consistent with those of Jimmy when he was first attacked.

Ma Hong and the others looked at each other, which seemed a bit too far-fetched.

Pointing to the evidence displayed on the screen in the conference room, Ma Hong asked, "Can you find the record of that satellite phone?" ”

The DHS agent shook his head: "This mobile phone is not ours here, it is European, and it is difficult to record cross-border investigations. "It's not that there are certain difficulties, it's that there is no need to investigate at all.

The agent continued: "No weapons have been found in Conwell's home, his bank account information has been contacted and retrieved, and no abnormal funds have been found for the time being, we suspect that he may have other accounts, and now the headquarters has arranged for someone to investigate him, hoping to have other clues." ”

Mahone and the others continued to ask questions about the evidence in Conwell's house, and finally could only temporarily accept the speculation of DHS agents, and also arranged for someone to start an investigation from this aspect. As for whether Ma Hong believes it or not, only he can know.

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

Jimmy finally said goodbye to the dietitian's liquid food, and the doctor had checked and approved him to resume his daily diet and finally be able to eat meat.

After the wound recovered, Jimmy resumed his fitness workout, and this period of recuperation really made him much weaker, if it wasn't for the nutritious meal, he must have gained weight.

While at the gym, Jimmy receives a call from Mahon, and the preliminary findings of DHS leave Jimmy stunned. How did this turn back again?

What kind of hell did he stab, now it is basically clear that the first two attacks were arranged by the white gloves of the parliamentarians, if the last one was arranged by the mastermind of the explosion, what about the middle two?

His head was about to blow up, Jimmy gave up his workout, took a break and took a shower and went back to the hotel, he needed to contact Tom to see if there was any news from his side.

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

Tom had already flown to Maryland, and the Moranta lab shooting was problematic, and nothing special was anything special about it from the news, so Tom finally decided to go to the scene to investigate on his own.

Falsifying his identity is already basic for Tom, who pretends to be the FBI and comes to Moranta to recheck the identity of the culprit who shot him, and then to the home of Marta, the only woman who survived the shooting.

It was a small cottage in the woods, but now in ruins, there was a fire here, and the firefighters found a female corpse from the villa, identified as Marta herself.

Tom inspected the surroundings of the ruins and soon found some anomalies, with a lot of wheel marks in front of the villa, which could also be explained given that the fire and police arrived at the scene. But some tire tracks left by hard braking and drifting were found on the road, which is not normal.

The ruins have been destroyed, so there is basically no need to investigate, if it is really like he thinks, someone must have already dealt with the ruins, and even if the clues can be found, it is likely that they deliberately arranged or stayed.

And the traces on the road are better, they don't need to do anything here, plus whether it is the fire brigade or the police, they can't drive violently in this environment, then these traces can basically determine that there was a drag racing chase here not long ago.

Marta, the only survivor of the shooting, may still be alive and has fled.

Tom returned to the city, found a safe place to start the investigation, did not know that the company actually cooperated with many government agencies, and there was also a press conference just a few days ago in Washington, D.C., a drug that has entered the experimental stage, can improve physical fitness and alleviate mental retardation.

This is related to the medicine they took in the stumbling block plan, and Tom's investigation finally has a result. They're not here in Maryland for a conference, but they're going to Washington, D.C., and it looks like their partner agency is right there.

Tom didn't stay any longer and returned directly to Washington, D.C., and in addition to continuing to investigate Moranta, one more thing was that he received a text message from his teacher, Mrs. Waltz.

Arriving in Washington, Tom drove to Mrs. Waltz's cabin in Virginia, and it was Sam who opened the door.

Tom: "Sam, is she resting, teacher?" ”

Sam: "Uncle Kodaiski, Grandmother is waiting for you in the study. ”

Sam led Tom into the study, and he came out to prepare his coffee, closing the door.

Mrs. Waltz sat behind her desk, looked up at Tom, and beckoned, "Tommy, come here." ”

There was no chair beside the desk, and Tom pulled a folding chair from the wall and sat down next to Mrs. Waltz.

Tom: "Teacher, have you had any results from the investigation?" ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Well, I called you here this time to tell you these things, and you can tell the boy later, though he may not be able to accept the situation." If you don't talk about it now, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future. ”

Mrs. Waltz brought a framed picture of several people in it, but the people in the picture looked young and old.

Mrs. Waltz touched the glass on the top of the photograph with her fingers, "That was decades ago, it's been too long." He is Veronica Durand's father, Harry Anderson. Sound familiar? ”

Tom nodded, but didn't speak.

Mrs. Waltz: "The former deputy head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, who died many years ago. The man going to deal with Veronica is our former deputy commissioner, Christian Geraig, and Anderson and Greg are good friends. ”

Tom: "They're friends?" So why did he deal with Jimmy? He's Veronica's father. ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Veronica Durand, her mother's last name, Anderson knew of her existence during his lifetime, but never officially acknowledged it until his death.

Greg's wife and son both died in a traffic accident, but later learned from the intelligence that someone deliberately caused an accident, and they were only involved, and the initiator of that accident was Anderson.

Greg fell into a slump after the death of his wife and children, and later found out that Anderson's actions caused them to go crazy when they died, but Anderson had already died at that time.

Later, there was a gas explosion in Anderson's house, and his family also died in that explosion, although there is no evidence, but ......

Greg retired shortly after and returned to Washington to retire. ”

Tom: "So does Veronica's death have something to do with him?" ”

Mrs. Waltz: "I can't be sure, I can only say that it is possible. Only a few of us know that Veronica is Anderson's illegitimate daughter, and I arranged for Veronica to enter the company in the first place. Greg may have done this, but again, there is no evidence. ”

Tom: "I've checked it with your permission before, and someone will occasionally check Jimmy's file, Jimmy is Veronica's son, could it be that Greg is also checking it?" ”

】

Mrs. Waltz shook her head, "I can't tell, I've been out of the bureau for too long, but I've found out something else. ”

Mrs. Waltz handed Tom a piece of paper, "I asked Jimmy about his file and learned a little about the stumbling block project he was involved in, although there are not many clues, but it should be enough for you to investigate." ”

Tom looked at the intelligence on paper, the National Research Analysis Group, headed by Rick, Washington DC.

Mrs. Waltz: "He started the stumbling block project, you can investigate, my people can't get their hands on him." ”

Tom nodded, and he folded the paper and put it in his pocket.

When the conversation was done, Mrs. Waltz called Sam to bring in coffee, and they began to talk casually about the past. When people get old, they will always be a little verbose, and they will have some memories of the past, and Tom can just be with Mrs. Waltz to talk more.

The two also talked about Henry in Langley's secret file room, this old antique can be said to be Langley's living history, the death of people in the same period, the retirement of retirement, and he has always been the file administrator, keeping the secret files in the bureau.

Of course, Henry can't be retired, he knows too much, and if he is really arranged, it will make people feel that someone wants to kill him.

Tom had a meal with Mrs. Waltz before driving away and returning to his safe house.

I got a lot of information this time, and I need to sort it out. It was also the first time he knew about Veronica's origins, and he also had a very strange feeling about Jimmy's bad luck.

Why did these things erupt at the same time at this time? It's weird.

Regarding the information given by Mrs. Waltz, since the national research and analysis team is the initiator of the stumbling block plan, it should be his side that initiated the removal of the people in the stumbling block plan.

So what's going on on Greg's side?

As the former deputy commissioner, Greg has enough authority to investigate the relationship between Veronica and Jimmy, Veronica has been dead for several years, why is he only starting to deal with Jimmy now?

Oh no, it's not sure he did the attack on Jimmy.

Tom also can't figure it out, after so many years, Greg knows that Jimmy is Veronica's son, why hasn't he done it before? According to his ability, any person can arrange a way to kill Jimmy in a way that no one else can see.

If you can't figure it out, put it aside for now, and let's focus on that Rick.

Judging from the current situation, that Rick is definitely the most suspicious. If he can plan and advance the stumbling block plan, then Moranta Company should also have something to do with him, and what happened during this time can be related, and if Rick is the center, these can all be related.

The big question now is why the stumbling block program is removed.
