Chapter 905 Why Paris?
? ? ?
Jack had a question mark on his forehead, and a concise sentence was written on the paper wrapped around the mobile phone. He could also understand the meaning. The person interrogating Roger Hansen asked about the whereabouts of the three girls, and then named them. The surname called him to go to Paris to help.
In fact, Jack was not surprised by the whereabouts of the three girls. He recognized Brian and his daughter Kim. He couldn’t say that he had expected that the plot would go as far as Paris, but he was definitely mentally prepared. of.
The question is who is this guy who left the note? At least leave a name!
Jack thought rapidly in his mind. He had only known a few CIAs in the past few years. Joe Mason was now retiring at the old Hunter's house and was the first one to be eliminated.
The second is John Reeser, who has been confirmed to be missing. Will he get involved in this matter?
Jack shook his head silently in his mind. Unless the plot of "Person of Interest" had already begun, this guy should still be hiding somewhere to heal his wounds silently.
He also privately paid attention to Danny and his brother James, who was a patrolman, and asked them to help keep an eye on homeless people in the New York subway.
The two CIAs he met in Mexico, Matt died in front of him. After Michael was rescued by him, he came to see him once and assigned him a seal mission.
There was no news from this guy after that, and I don’t know if he started the plot of "Fire Warning". If it was him, it is indeed possible. According to the plot of that drama, after Michael was inexplicably blacklisted by the CIA, he did something like " "Scavenger" job.
But this guy shouldn't be so unreliable in his work, and at least he would leave a name. Jack turned the piece of paper over and over several times, but he didn't see any hidden signs or unnecessary symbols.
The only people left related to the CIA are bald Frank and SEAL Team B liaison officer Mandy Ellis.
Sister Mandy is a pure intelligence officer, not an operational agent. She obviously can’t do this job. Could it be the bald Frank?
Jack didn’t have Frank’s contact information, nor did he know where he lived in Texas, and he couldn’t come to a conclusion after much thought.
Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore. Anyway, the other party left his mobile phone and it will all be clear to him when he goes to Paris.

"Why Paris?" After returning to the Federal Building, Cassel followed Jack and kept asking, "Why did the other party leave your name? That's for sure There's a reason."
"I said I don't know." Jack was annoyed to death by this guy.
He just confirmed with Justin that the IP address of the suspicious visitor who logged into Alexis’s personal page was the same as the IP address directed to the newly clicked network monitor on the old farm house, and the result came out, the same It's in Paris.
Justin has even found the specific location, which is in a hotel under renovation near the Bourbon Palace.
"Roger Hansen worked for the kidnappers. Why did they torture him? Why did they want you to go to Paris alone?"
Listen to Cassel's chatter in your ears. Questions, Jack finally lost his patience, "Cassell, if you ask these questions that currently have no answers, I won't take you to Paris."
Cassel's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was delighted. He said, "Are you planning to take me to Paris? Didn't the note say that you will only be allowed to go there alone?"
Jack stopped and glared at this annoying guy fiercely, "You have two people now. Choose, either shut up and go to Paris with me, or I'll let Beckett handcuff you at the police station until we get Alexis back."
"OK, I'm going to prepare my passport." Cassel raised his feet and turned to go home.
"No need, I have other channels." Jack pulled him back and whispered.
"The person who executed Roger Hansen is probably on our side, but this matter must be kept strictly confidential. We should be able to know his identity when we get to Paris. This matter Things are far from as simple as we thought. "
"Jack, the kidnapper called." Jiejie, who was waiting at the door of the combat center, made a phone call gesture. The call was made to the parents of the girl Sarah 20 minutes ago. What Jack heard was only the recording of the call. Although he temporarily selected two Arabic languages in the system to be proficient, he still couldn't understand what he heard.
There are many varieties of Arabic, and there is no specific distinction in the system. It is simply divided into Modern Standard Arabic and Classical Arabic according to the written language system.
But spoken Arabic can be divided into six major categories based on region alone. The accent spoken on the other side of the phone belongs to typical Egyptian Arabic and Cairo dialect.
The kidnappers demanded a ransom of 15 million euros on the phone and exchanged money for someone three hours later at an unknown small dock on the lower reaches of the Seine River.
Sarah’s parents quarreled directly with Jubal in the conference room over the method of paying the ransom.
Jubal hoped that they would help delay as much time as possible so that the US Embassy could communicate with the French police, but Sara's father sternly refused.
"No! They made it very clear that if the police showed up at the scene, my daughter would be dead! We will pay the 15 million euro ransom in accordance with their requirements."
"Yes, even if this is just one time Blackmail, at least they sent us pictures of our daughters to let us know they are alive," Kim's stepfather Stuart chimed in.
"Have they...did they?" Cassel, who had just walked into the conference room, was startled by the astonishing ransom figure, and asked nonchalantly next to him, "Have they mentioned Alexis? ?”
Compared with these two super rich people, his original image of a wealthy man is infinitely closer to that of an ordinary person.
Although this guy’s royalty income is quite considerable, he spent a lot of money when he was young and became rich again. In addition, he had two failed marriages. Before he met Beckett, his exclusive muse, he was far away from Bankruptcy is actually not that far away.
Not to mention 15 million euros, even 5 million euros is enough to break his bones. Of course, what Cassell is really worried about is not the amount of the ransom, but wanting to know whether his daughter is among the hostages the kidnappers agreed to release. .
"Don't worry, at my husband's insistence, they agreed to release the three girls together." Sarah's mother said to Cassel with tears in her eyes.
Casel walked to Sara's father excitedly, "I really don't know how to treat it as something I owe you. As long as Alexis can come back safely, I will sell everything I have." Copyright"
"Don't say that, you don't owe me anything. It's because of my problems that my daughter has been hurt," Sarah's father comforted in a low voice, while looking at the other two present apologetically. A father.
On the other side, Jack persuaded Jubal, who was still about to speak, and asked a question, "If the French police are not involved, then who will pay the ransom?"
"My sister-in-law lives in Paris, and her husband will bring money to redeem her. Sorry, to prepare such a large sum of money, I need to make a lot of phone calls, so I have to excuse myself for the time being."
Sarah After my father finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Thank you."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Elmasri." Including Brian, the three fathers present thanked him.
Sarah’s father turned back and sighed, “Now I can only pray that those people keep their word.”
——
“Of course you can’t believe that the kidnappers will keep their word. This matter is not that simple. The reason why I stopped you from continuing to speak is not because I believe that the kidnappers will let you go if the ransom is paid, but to buy time. "
In the conference room, after only "his own people" were left, Jack expressed his thoughts to Jubal.
