Chapter 901 Discovery
Normally, Cassel would have been so excited when he heard words like CIA and secret agent and knew that there was a serious former spy standing in front of him.
At this moment, he had no extra thoughts at all. He sat pitifully in his seat and just watched the two people communicating helplessly. Finally, he couldn't help but interject.
“So Sara’s dad is super rich, and Kim has a super spy dad and an equally super rich stepdad, but why Alexis? Why would they? Kidnap her? "
One thing to say is that Cassell's self-perception at this time was very accurate. In comparison, he was just a well-known writer who was harmless and had a little money.
"For the time being, we still believe that Sala is the main target. El-Masri has just admitted that he has close relations with some dignitaries in the previous Egyptian government, and thus has attracted some very powerful enemies.
So the FBI suspects this It may be an act of revenge against him.”
In fact, Jack had no confidence in this judgment. He looked at the photo of the girl Sara for a long time. Although she was very beautiful, he had no impression. He suspected that it was not that. Simple, but unfortunately there is no evidence yet.
"So Alexis and Kim were just implicated, right? Appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time?" Cassel's eyes showed a hint of hope, but he noticed the expressions on the faces of the two opposite them. All extremely ugly.
"This is not a good thing, use your novelist brain to think about it." Jack reminded.
After being reminded like this, Cassel suddenly understood, "What you are saying is that just because Alexis and Kim are not the main targets, they may be targeted at any time."
Halfway through his words, he said Horrified, he shut up. He didn't dare to think deeply about what happened next. If Sara was really the main target, then the other two beautiful girls who were just kidnapped by chance would have no idea what they would face when facing the vicious kidnappers. It goes without saying.
What will happen to worthless hostages? Will he become a target for venting his nervousness or will he be silenced to keep it secret? Why did the other party take unnecessary risks to kidnap three girls at once? Does the other party have other intentions? No one can answer these questions now.
Jack reopened the sealed door of "SCIF" and took the two of them into the elevator. "My superior, Ms. Moge, is working with Director Reagan of the NYPD to meet with the major media in New York.
< br>Soon, major TV stations will start broadcasting relevant news. We will exaggerate your worth and announce the identity of Kim’s stepfather so that the kidnappers can realize the value of the other two girls as soon as possible.”
Only if the kidnappers know that Alexis and Kim are worth as much as Sara and both have super-rich families, will they focus on demanding ransom.
Now they can only pray that the other party is really here for money. Even if the kidnappers plan to take revenge on El Masri by kidnapping Sara, they should not refuse the other two big meat tickets.
The elevator door dinged open, and Jiejie, along with the wanted criminal team and Beckett, were already waiting here carrying boxes of various sizes.
“The next thing they have to do is go to your house and set up a listening device to track the kidnapper’s calls. Don’t worry, Jiejie and the others are very experienced in this area. As long as the other party calls, they will try their best to guide the matter. It will develop in the direction we expect."
After speaking, Jack quickly grabbed Cassel, who was about to follow, "As for you following me 24 hours a day from now on, I know you know a lot of friends, but trust me. , the person who can best help you is right in front of you.”
Cassel was stunned and looked at Beckett subconsciously. When he saw her nodding slightly, he could only whisper to her, "Help me take good care of Martha."
His mother Martha had always been with her father. The two women live together.
"I would like to ask some of my friends for help. They may be able to speed up the search for the kidnapper Roger Hansen." Brian said in a hoarse voice.
Jack handed him an anonymous mobile phone, "This phone is not monitored and can be used with confidence, but neither You nor Cassel is allowed to leave my side from now on.
I I know that you are all very capable people with many special channels and friends. I don't mind if you use your talents when the time is right.
But before that, I hope you understand one thing. Now is not the time to act recklessly. This kidnapping case involves the lives of three girls. Cooperation is the only way to solve this case.
I regard you as friends, and I hope you will not betray my trust. ”
Jack said it sincerely, and that’s exactly what he thought. Before, whether he followed the seals to Mexico or worked with Shenma Dongxi to clean up Japanese gangs in Korea, Jack’s role was always a supporting one.
It's like being in a real movie scene. There is nothing wrong with following the protagonist. When experiencing the plot, you can occasionally pretend to draw points. Benefits.
In short, whether you follow a single protagonist or a group of protagonists, even if Jack is completely unfamiliar with the plot, even if the plot has been completely changed due to the real world's self-interpretation, it doesn't matter, just follow the omissions and fill in the gaps.
After all, there are only so many routines in American dramas. If you see your favorite character planting flags, you can save many tragedies by just being vigilant, not to mention that he also has the healing skills given by the plug-in to cheat.
Of course things have gotten out of control, such as the CIA agent Matt Graver who died unexpectedly in Mexico and looked exactly like "Thanos".
It was Matt's death that caused the original plan to fail. In the end, Jack had to take the lead and save the little girl Isabel.
Now this inexplicable kidnapping case seems to be more difficult. I don’t know whether it is the special “kidnapped” aura of “rescue brother” Liam Neeson and his daughter that caused the plot to collapse, or whether it is the “Soul” that caused the plot collapse. Where did the plot of "Book of Secrets" go astray?
The results of this inexplicable linkage were unpredictable, and the feeling that the situation was out of control from the beginning made Jack extremely unhappy.
Not to mention the abuse that girls may encounter, just talking about kidnapping, a person might just disappear without a trace, and his life or death is unknown.
With no choice but to tie the two protagonists to him unreasonably, Jack can intervene immediately no matter where the plot goes.
Fortunately, he is now considered a semi-"legendary" and is barely famous. Cassel now often listens to stories and materials at parties, so he has a high degree of trust in his ability.
Brian's thoughts were more rational, and with Jack's attitude just now of completely treating them as friends rather than simply as family members of the victim, he also chose to stay.
After all, he is just a retired CIA now. Even if he has not retired, the CIA will still ask the FBI for help in cases like this that occur in China.
Never mind anything else, he had never heard of a scene where there were hundreds of people in the combat center, all working together, each performing their duties and working hard on one case.
There are dozens of people in front of them, facing their own computer screens, searching for the driving path of the van in countless dazzling traffic monitors. Compared with one or two hackers tinkering there, it is much more efficient. Gone to who knows where.
"The final route has been determined." Alice stood up suddenly and excitedly projected a map onto the big screen.
“We found the van in the tunnel from Midtown Manhattan to Queens. The van went onto Greenpoint Avenue, turned right on McGinnis Street, and finally headed west onto Huron Street. .”
"Where did you go in the end?" Cassel asked excitedly, clenching his fists.
“Not sure yet, but it’s basically in this area.”
Alice drew a small box on the map, “We retrieved surveillance videos from surrounding intersections. The van never came out after it entered this neighborhood."
Jack looked at the time and saw that nearly 6 hours had passed since the three girls were kidnapped, so he simply gave the order.
"Less than 20 blocks in total, notify the nearby NYPD station and send out all our field agents to search for the truck street by street.
Everyone travels in plainclothes, using disguised police cars, and reports immediately upon discovery. Unauthorized action is strictly prohibited! ”
