Chapter 657, a false alarm?

Brooklyn had been dealing with Frank even earlier than he had with Winston.

He knew Frank well.

He used to call Frank Old Fox behind his back.

There is no doubt that Frank is full of wisdom.

His rich experience and extraordinary wisdom have cultivated a pair of eyes that can see through everything, and he can see through the essence of things.

He climbed step by step from a patrol officer to the seat of the NYPD chief, he has the ruthlessness and violence engraved in his bones, he is a wolf full of wildness.

The long years of his career as a director did not wear away his wildness.

This can be seen from the conspiracy of the barbecue restaurant that night.

But wolves are sensitive.

At this moment, Frank undoubtedly smelled danger.

He suspected that the wolf pack organized in Brooklyn couldn't defeat the unknown behemoth, which was beyond the hunting range of the wolf pack, so he was afraid.

That's why Brooklyn suddenly dissected with Frank the difference between the Patriots and the official organization.

"Go to the hospital to protect Heather Gerken and Bob, find the list in Bob's hand, and send it to me immediately."

Brooklyn talked for a while, and found that Frank did not respond, so he simply assigned the task.

"Brooklyn ......"

Frank's voice was a little dry.

He just called Brooklyn's name and stopped.

"I know, Frank, I know."

Brooklyn looked up, glanced at Anne, who was drinking fish soup, and said in a deep voice

"We all have family, we have friends, I know, Frank."

"But they did it to Bob."

"Do you think that even if we surrender to them now, they won't do anything to us?"

"Don't forget, Frank, we've only been fighting back from the start."

"It's always them who pick quarrels and provoke trouble, not us!"

"Okay, I see. I'll go to the hospital now, find the list and send it to you myself."

Frank, who had been silent, finally spoke.

After a pause, he added, "Brooklyn, it's time for us to adjust our goals."

He suddenly said viciously, "We used to be too gentle! I hope to get their intestines out this time!

!」

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Brooklyn knew that the old wolf, Frank, was finally completely enraged.

He nodded to Anne, who was still drinking fish soup, and went upstairs to call Winston and tell him what had happened to Bob.

Winston was not as sensitive as Frank, and as an old politician, he was very calm.

After confirming that there was no problem with Brooklyn's handling method, he directly communicated with Brooklyn about some of the follow-up content he was responsible for, as if everything was normal on Brooklyn's side and Frank's side.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Now that they're in the government, they've started a cybersecurity company of their own, and the company is getting on the right track.

Their eucalyptus is still there, but no one will do anything to them.

They don't have to report to the FBI's special department every month to report on their mental activities and living conditions.

They don't have to go out to go shopping, they have to report to the top, and they have to apply for a trip.

They don't have to worry about their privacy, they can finally have their own privacy!

They fell in love with the bustling and vibrant city of New York!

"You only need to write a filtering program and implant it into the server of the communication service company, and you can filter the content of the user's communication in disguised monitoring."

"This kind of monitoring method can only filter keywords and target monitoring, and cannot obtain the complete content of the call."

After a pause, the keystrokes on Walter O'Brien's side stopped, and he explained, "It's like a wake-up bell."

"Normally it is dormant and poses no threat to the user's communication and privacy, but once the user says a keyword in the conversation, it will trigger an alarm bell to wake up from the dormant state and become an active state."

"The alarm bell will immediately report the user's information and display the trigger word. Like—like this—"

With that, Walter O'Brien tapped his keyboard and spoke

"Judge Brooklyn, I just activated a similar program, as a demonstration, and its terminal is your mailbox, which means that when it is triggered, it will send a message to your mailbox."

"Now I'll say the wake word that I've set."

He took a deep breath and said, "Scorpions are the most powerful hackers!"

Less than five seconds after he finished shouting, an email received in Brooklyn's mailbox.

It lists the registration information, addresses, and locations of both parties to the communication, as well as the trigger keyword "scorpion, hacker"

"It's just a rudimentary simulation, but the general principle is the same."

Walter O'Brien explained

"So, Mr. Judge, what you need is not to raise the security level of your mobile phone communications, but to go to the telecommunications company and find out this app."

"Otherwise, no matter how high you rise, it's useless."

Brooklyn got professional guidance from Scorpion, and finally put his mind at ease.

Frank was scared, he flinched, he didn't have a leg trembling.

For a moment, he thought that this was the case.

But only for a moment.

It was only the shock of the sudden confronting of unexpected news.

Immediately afterward, Brooklyn came to his senses.

Even the CIA can't fully spy on everyone's communications, so how can [Patriot] do it?

What he had guessed before was that [Patriots] were listening to the communications of a few people in a targeted and round-the-clock manner.

Like yourself, like Frank, like Winston.

As a result, the scorpion told him that it was not that complicated at all, and that it was easier and even more rudimentary than he thought it would be.

All you need is one program......

Brooklyn held the phone, rubbed his forehead, and called Frank again.

"Bob is awake."

The phone was answered, and it was Frank who spoke first.

"Heather Gerken has been moved to a ward with Chandler Kane, and I have a few more officers to protect me."

"The list you said is still in Bob's hands."

Brooklyn frowned.

When I made the arrangement before, I suddenly received a notice and made the arrangement subconsciously, but now I calm down and think about it, there are many problems.

First and foremost, there was the issue of the attack on Bob.

It seems that the other party is chasing Bob relentlessly, and he has a posture of vowing not to give up if he doesn't kill Bob.

They first caused a car accident, and then someone sent someone to start it

ZSS attacked, not hesitating to shoot at the police.

As a result, Bob only had a slight bone crack in his arm and a lot of skin scratched, and he was neither dead nor lost the list.

So, what is the purpose of this attack on Bob?

After the operation, it will not play any role except to provoke Brooklyn and others, except to expand the situation.

What's going on?

Brooklyn easily reminiscent of the last second assassination of Chandler Kane in the hospital.

The operation was crudely designed, but it was similar to the second assassination of Chandler Kane.

This is infighting among the military?!

Brooklyn became suspicious.

He voiced his suspicions, then repeated the scorpion's explanation of the procedure and the alarm bell, and finally said

"I want to do a test."

"I wonder if it's infighting or if it's some other purpose. You may be in danger, so the decision is yours."

"What test?" Frank asked.

Bob, naturally, was supportive of Brooklyn, and he didn't speak at all.

For him, Brooklyn just says what he does.

From the day he became a personal assistant in Brooklyn, he had anticipated this danger.

"I'm going to deliberately re-mention keywords to set off alarm bells."

Brooklyn said

"Then you will go to my house."

"I want to see what happens when they get alerted."

"Okay, we'll work with you." Frank agreed to come down.

He hadn't forgotten that he was going to pull out the other party's intestines.

"Okay."

Brooklyn took a deep breath.

"[Patriot], [Patriot] Founder List, [Patriot] Downstream Organization List, [Patriot] Michael Grady, [Patriot] ......"

Phrases popped out of his mouth and were converted into electromagnetic signals that were transmitted through the signal tower.

…………

Michael Grady received text messages and emails again.

He didn't even look at it when he opened it, so he waited for the time to make the email disappear automatically.

He turned off the computer, unplugged the USB drive, and braced his head to think.

It's completely dark in New York. Outside the window, there seemed to be some kind of monster hidden in the darkness, and it was eyeing him.

………………

Frank and Bob made it all the way to the Brooklyn home with his arms hanging from him.

Didn't suffer any accidents.

Anne glanced at Bob, who was hanging from her arm, and without asking anything, she went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls of fish soup.

"Brooklyn has boiled up soup all afternoon, and you're in for a treat."

"Taste it."

She is like an ordinary hostess, welcoming guests who come to the house.

After serving the fish soup and chatting with her for a few more words, she quietly got up and left.

"We didn't have any accidents, so your test results ......."

Frank spread his hands and asked knowingly.

"The test results are that the last attack on Bob was not done by Michael Grady."

Brooklyn Road.

The logic is simple.

Michael Grady should not have cared that much about that list, and he might even have some expectation that the list would fall into Brooklyn's hands.

If Michael Grady cares about the list, to protect the list, to prevent leaks, especially to prevent the list from falling into the hands of Brooklyn, he should also do it at the source.

Because one fact that is easy to overlook, but is very important, is -

Even if he wanted to keep it a secret, it was too late.

The list fell into Bob's hands, and with the now developed means of communication, Bob could make the list go all over the Internet if he wanted to

In the air.

He can even leak the list without giving people time to stop him.

Even if there was a car accident, he could call Brooklyn and do a "live broadcast."

He can also take a photo, record a video, and send it to Brooklyn.

It's too late to stop!

That is, the list could not stop the spread the moment it fell into Bob's hands.

So, there was no point in stopping Bob from sending the list to his Brooklyn house.

If there's no point in doing this, why do it?

Brooklyn has observed Michael Grady, and he doesn't think Michael Grady is a person who likes to do meaningless things.

This kind of thankless work looks like a fool would do it.

Especially in front of hospitals, ZSS attacks on ambulances and police cars.

That's simply KB organizational behavior!

Who would be a normal person who would think of doing this?

So, it must not have been done by Michael Grady.

Someone is doing it in the name of Michael Grady.

But he overlooked an important issue.

"But he overlooked an important issue."

Frank Road

Brooklyn nodded in agreement.

Frank took the slip of paper that Bob pulled out and shook it, smiling dangerously.

"We don't know who will handle the alarm bell when it goes off."

"We don't know anything about the internal process reaction of [Patriot]."

"That's right," Brooklyn added, "So, this man acting under the guise of Michael Grady is also one of the founders of [Patriot]. His name is on this list."

"I'm more interested in their disagreements and infighting."

Frank licked his teeth and said with a smile.

"You're right, they're not monolithic."

"Not only are they not monolithic, but now it seems that they are fighting very well on their own."

"Will this time be the same as the last time?"

Brooklyn shook her head.

"Not really."

"The second murder of Chandler Kane was very well designed, and that murder put Michael Grady in a rather passive position. And there is no trace left, we have no way of speculating."

"This time it's different."

"It's so crude, as if you can't wait to grab us by the ears and shout at us that it's Michael Grady."

"Most importantly, he left a trail. Clues about his identity."

Brooklyn tapped on the list of scraps of paper.

"Then let's see who this model is." Frank grinned and said.
