Chapter 65: Chips
Seeing that Kitteridge was preparing to arrest him, Ethan, who knew that he had been wronged, was naturally unwilling to be arrested.
So he caused an explosion and took the opportunity to escape.
Zhang Pin: "The old man who fell off the bridge before was a member of your team?" ”
Ethan was now isolated, and when he met Byrne, a traitor to Langley, he felt a sense of sympathy.
In addition, the other party indirectly saved his life, so Ethan did not hide his experience from the two.
"Yes, he's Jim, the captain of our squad, and a friend of mine for many years."
Ethan heard Zhang Pin's inquiry, and his face couldn't help but show nostalgia for his old friend.
An intelligence team like them actually has a closer relationship than a lover, after all, everyone works together, but they all rely on each other's lives.
It is difficult for ordinary couples to trust each other like they do.
Now because of a mission, all his teammates have been killed, and for Ethan, the blow is not small.
"Well, we can actually work together."
After Zhang Pin determined that the old man was Ethan's teammate, he thought about it and simply proposed the intention of cooperation to the other party.
"Since you said that Langley's side thinks that you have internal demons, then I think that things must be ten or nine."
"Especially this operation, in America itself, stealing the intelligence of the Frank Chicken Consulate, to be honest, this operation is simply mind-blowing."
"It's likely that the guy who was chasing you was deliberately released to fish, and now it looks like his bait has been successful, and you've all taken the bait."
Ethan originally heard Zhang Pin say that he wanted to cooperate, and he was subconsciously ready to refuse.
After all, he knew that he had been wronged, and Byrne was a real traitor to Langley.
It was obviously impossible for him to cooperate with the traitor.
But after hearing Zhang Pin say that this operation was likely to be the bait Kitteridge used to fish, he was immediately stunned.
"No way, who are you, there really is a traitor among us, and he has taken the bait."
Ethan was obviously hard to believe in this fact.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't think it's Kitteridge trying to liquidate you."
Zhang Pin saw this very clearly, and even he already knew who was the real ghost in Ethan's team.
However, he didn't tell Ethan directly.
The reason why this is so is not that he wants to deceive the other party to do things for him, but because there is no evidence.
Although he and Byrne could clearly see that when they were on the bridge before, the guy named Jim had jumped into the river by himself.
But with Ethan's deep relationship with the other party, if Zhang Pin said so directly, the other party would not believe it.
Originally, there was still the strong man who shot as a witness, but Zhang Pin checked the several gunmen who were ambushed around the corner before, and remembered that among the gunmen who were killed by Bourne, there was the body of the strong man.
Unless he goes to help Ethan find that Jim, he can't prove that he's not lying.
But he and Ethan are not related, so naturally it is impossible for him to bother to help each other find someone.
"No way, how can there be traitors in our team, there must be some misunderstanding in this, yes, there must be some misunderstanding!"
Ethan really didn't want to believe Zhang Pin and Kittridge's words, but fortunately, although he chattered all the way, he still took Zhang Pin and Byrne to the safe house.
"Actually, if there are any internal ghosts, you can find out if you try it, if it's really like Kitteridge said, someone in your team is betraying Langley's information, he will definitely have a transaction record, now that your teammates are dead, check the items they left behind, I believe there will be a gain."
Zhang Pin secretly poked and poked a little cautiously.
He had also told Byrne that he would find a way to find some information about Langley's Stepping Stones plan, which he could use as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Langley.
Originally, he wanted to help him through Warren of the Bureau of Investigation.
With his current relationship with Warren, as long as it does not involve some position issues, I believe that the other party will never refuse.
But now that Ethan, the elite of Langley's intelligence department, is here, it is obviously more convenient to find him, and the information does not have to be limited to the stepping stone plan.
"Look up their stuff."
Ethan heard Zhang Pin's suggestion and hesitated at first.
After all, by doing so, he would be disrespecting and distrusting the dead players.
However, Ethan thought that the team members were all dead, but they had also suffered injustice, and his emotions immediately became firm.
"Yes, check their stuff, if, I mean, if one of them is a ghost, it is definitely impossible to leave any evidence of discovery for themselves, but they definitely need to communicate with others, and they will definitely use email to communicate with others than phone calls and text messages that are easy to monitor!"
When Ethan decided to check the belongings of the team members, he didn't mess around, but thought carefully and reasoned, and finally decided on a goal.
"No, nothing, they're really not ghosts."
Ethan checked the computers of several team members left in the safe house, but found nothing suspicious.
He was immediately excited.
"Who would be stupid to keep the e-mail information, is this computer used by you to communicate with the outside world, why don't you think about it carefully, as far as I know, there is a well-known information broker in Luoji Mountain recently, why don't you send an email to test him."
Regarding Ethan's optimism, Zhang Pin didn't take it seriously.
Unlike Ethan, who didn't know anything, Zhang Pin knew the goal in advance, so he naturally knew the result in advance.
He's already determined that the inner ghost is Jim, Ethan's captain.
Just when he wanted to infiltrate the Golden Soldier base camp, he got the news that Bruce, the second-in-command of the Golden Soldier Group, was receiving an intelligence broker.
Now thinking that Langley deliberately released false news to lure the inner ghost, Zhang Pin was very suspicious that the intelligence broker was likely to be the buyer of the inner ghost.
Because the channels for selling this kind of intelligence information are actually much fewer than those for many stolen goods.
It can even be said that if you are not a professional, even if you have any information, it is impossible to sell the information.
So it's like Kitteridge looks at his own people for selling undercover information, which is actually a very normal thing in the intelligence community.
I'll give it a try!"
Ethan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, opened the computer email, and tried to edit the wording.
He is a professional himself, so he naturally knows more about the affairs of the intelligence community than Zhang Pin.
After hearing Zhang Pin say that an intelligence broker came to Luoji Mountain, and at the same time, his own action team happened to have an accident, he actually had the same guess in his heart, and he kept refusing now, in fact, it was more just self-deception.
With Zhang Pin's help in determining the goal, Ethan quickly found the other party's email address through his own channels.
Then he edited a text: There is a problem with the undercover list of the previous transaction, the network has been regulated, it has become insecure, and I need to talk to you in person.
After the email was sent, Ethan felt as if he had lost his strength, and lay down on his chair without moving.
Then he stared at the computer screen with both eyes, for fear that the other party would not reply, and at the same time he was even more afraid of the other party's reply.
is different from Ethan's torment, Sir Zhang is opening his eyes at this moment.
"Good guy, there are videos of the commander of the flange chicken eating and sleeping, this is all the information of the head of the five-star group over the stick, hey, the two women in his family are very good-looking, and they even take photos of others without clothes, cheap!"
I don't know if Langley's side forgot it, or if it was too late, they had already identified Ethan as a ghost, but they didn't have the permission to ban them.
With the help of the authority of these intelligence officers, Zhang Sir successfully entered the information database of the Langley intelligence department and successfully checked some secret information.
Then he found that what these ghosts did was much more exaggerated than he imagined, and the other party could not find the heads of most of the other forces and the heads of some key positions.
Many people's every move is even under their real-time monitoring.
Thinking of this, Sir Zhang immediately kept a lot of information.
"Replied! I really replied, here is the address to meet! ”
Before Sir Zhang collected all the information, Ethan on the side had already stood up in disbelief, staring at the computer and yelling.
The email they sent to the intelligence broker was actually replied to by the other party, and the other party chose to make an appointment to meet.
This result was obviously difficult for Ethan to accept for a while.
Because of the other party's reply, it obviously shows that the intelligence broker has obviously been in contact with the owner of the mailbox for a long time, and the two sides are obviously familiar with each other.
Ethan suddenly became a little overwhelmed, he had no idea that his colleague who had worked together for so many years was quietly selling Langley's information.
"No way, I've seen them all die with my own eyes, what's going on."
Ethan was shocked and then full of doubts.
Because after confirming that there was an inner ghost among his teammates who betrayed the news, he had another question, that is, if his teammates were internal ghosts, how could he die this time, but only he was left alive.
No, Ethan thought of this, he glanced at Zhang Pin and Bourne, if it weren't for Zhang Pin's help, he would probably be dead at this time.
Zhang Pin did not agree with Ethan's statement, at least he confirmed that Ethan did not see it with his own eyes when Jim, who was standing on the bridge before, jumped off the bridge, but he was not in a hurry to refute the other party.
"Since they want to meet, it's better to go and meet, and a lot of things will be clear."
Hearing his words, Ethan nodded as well.
"Yes, I should go and meet them, and when I see them, I believe that everything will be clear."
"What about you, did you get what you wanted?"
After Ethan finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhang Pin and Byrne.
Of course, he also knew that the reason why the two of them helped him was that they definitely wanted something from him.
For Zhang Pin's move to check the computer just now, Ethan also turned a blind eye.
Now that things were about to become clear, he asked about the purpose of the two.
"Well, that's pretty much enough, so let's leave it at that?"
Zhang Pin was not embarrassed when he heard Ethan's inquiry.
Just as Ethan thought, if it weren't for Zhang Pin and Bourne's temporary meeting, the other party might have died here.
They saved Ethan's life, and now they are just using the other party's equipment to get some information, which is not too much.
"Okay, don't leave it at that!"
Ethan nodded, he himself is not an inner ghost, and now that he has been wronged, he naturally wants to find out the inner ghost and clear his suspicion.
And Jason Byrne is different, the other party is a real mutiny.
If it is known that he is involved in Bourne too much, and that he still has a relationship, it will not be good then.
Because whether it is to be questioned about his position, or to be asked to deal with Bourne, Ethan is unwilling.
So for him, it is good for both parties to separate from each other early now.
Watching Zhang Pin and Byrne leave the safe house, Ethan sat on the chair and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
On the other side, Zhang Pin and Bourne walked out of the safe house.
"I know where Langley's group of people who came to capture you live now, let's just go over and talk to them."
Zhang Pin looked at Bourne, and then raised the disc in his hand.
He had just copied a lot of Langley's secret plan from Ethan's computer.
One of the most surprising to him was the action that the other party named Project Prism.
This operation is theoretically highly private, but most of Langley's intelligence agents can find it.
The reason for this is naturally because the amount of work involved in this operation is very large, and there are many people who need to participate, so it is naturally difficult to keep it secret.
And the content of the Prism Project is also very simple, which is to monitor most of the big shots of other forces and make sure that the other party's every move will not pose a threat to America.
The reason why Zhang Pin was interested in this plan was not because he wanted to threaten the other party with this plan.
In fact, since there were so many people involved in this operation, and the scope was so wide, any team of Langley's intelligence officers could inquire about it, so it was naturally impossible to keep it secret.
Zhang Pin even guessed that there were not many people who were being monitored, and they probably knew it.
It's just because of America's hegemony that he dares to be angry and dare not speak.
Of course, that doesn't mean it's worthless.
On the contrary, Zhang Pin felt that this plan alone was enough to be used as a bargaining chip for him and Bourne.
Because although this incident exists because of America's hegemony, this incident is also a conflict between America's values.
You know, what America is advocating now is freedom, and it is precisely because of this strong value that the other party was able to win the battle against the woolly bear and become the number one in the world.
If this matter is exposed on a large scale, then the first impact will be Americaka's basic plate.
An event like this that will affect the national focus is naturally valuable enough. (End of chapter)
