Chapter 944 Swann’s Suspicion


Chapter 944 Swann's Suspicion

"What do the numbers on the previous pages mean?" Reacher took out the crumpled A4 papers from his pocket and spread them out on the In front of Dixon.

“You once said that numbers speak, tell me what do these numbers say?”

Jack relayed Chris’s speculation, “The good news is, this shouldn’t be the case. According to the experimental data of certain biological and chemical weapons, at least based on the existing information, 'New Era Technology' does not have the ability to produce such weapons."

"Some kind of data calculated by month?" Dixon Ruo. After thinking about it, I took two napkins and started writing and drawing on them.

While she was studying the data, Jack dropped the last clue, "How much do you know about the missing Tony Swan?"

Others who asked this question looked at each other, not understanding him. What does this mean? I saw him opening the last file on the computer.

"This is the list of employees of the security department under the name of 'New Era Technology'. Pay attention to who is the deputy director."

The list not only has names but also photos, so there is no need to worry at all. The same name, so when everyone saw Tony Swan's name, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Originally, Jack notified Jubal to investigate this "New Era Technology" because he did not want to let go of any clues. After all, it was only in the car of a black glove like Trevor Salopian. I found this company's parking lot pass, which is not a strong connection.

But at the same time, when Alice retrieved Tony Swan's information, she was surprised to find that he happened to work for this "New Era Technology". This abnormal coincidence immediately raised the suspicion of this company by N. level.

With his mind spinning, Lei Che seemed to understand the hint in Jack's previous question. A slight anger rose on his face, but after seeing the faces of others, the anger turned into a kind of anger. have no choice.

"I absolutely believe in Tony Swan, he is an upright man."

O'Donnell glanced at Nigli and said weakly, "Major, I must remind you , People will change, just like you never thought that I would get married and be domesticated by my wife."

Reicher waved his hand decisively, "No, this is not the same thing, I will not doubt it. Swann, just like I wouldn't doubt you."

"Uh" Seeing that Nigli was about to join the ranks of questioning, Jack spoke first to interrupt the possible dispute between the three.

"You may have misunderstood me. I don't suspect that Tony Swan was involved in this illegal transaction, but I want to know whether he might have noticed the danger in advance and hid it. CSI has already contacted The local police station has been searching for several days, but no new bodies have been found.”

Everyone present was smart. As soon as Jack’s question came out, everyone, including Reacher, thought of something. Possibly, as a middle-to-senior manager of the "New Era Technology" security department, Swann is quite suspicious.

Unlike other companies, as a high-tech enterprise involved in the military industry, the security department is like the FBI to the federal government, with an extremely important position.

The security department is not only responsible for the background investigation of each employee to ensure that no commercial espionage or even spies from other countries will be involved, but it is also responsible for important responsibilities such as internal security and personal safety of senior executives.

As the deputy director of the security department, Swann's status and importance in the company are naturally self-evident, and at least he has the value of being bribed.

But his disappearance is full of doubts. Franz's home and office were forcibly broken into and turned upside down, as were the offices of Sanchez and Orozco, and Si Wang's home showed no signs of being broken into or disturbed.

So his disappearance can be explained as being killed or under house arrest, or it can be considered that he deliberately hid or even fled the country.

Whether he ran away or hid out of fear of retaliation, from the perspective of the remaining members of the 110 Special Investigation Team, this was an act of "deserting".

Although they still don't know what happened, the general context can be guessed. The cause of everything should come from Swann. He may have noticed something wrong within "New Era Technology" and found his former colleague Franz to help investigate.

Franz found Sanchez and Orozco in Atlantic City again. The four of them probably did not realize the danger at first. When they realized that something was wrong, they were killed before they could give a warning. .

Franz’s good secrecy habits allowed him to keep the USB flash drive, but that was all. When they realized that it was an illegal arms deal involving 65 million, it was already too late. .

The other party's response was very fast, and they did not even allow them to successfully send help or alert to others.

"It is unlikely that Tony Swan was involved." Jack gave a relatively rational conclusion from the perspective of a bystander who was not a member of the 110 Special Investigation Team.

"If he is a participant in this illegal transaction, there is absolutely no need to contact Franz to make matters worse. He was once a member of the 110 Special Investigation Team and knows the capabilities of you people best.

So I The question is, under what circumstances do you think Swann would let his dog die of thirst at home without sending a message for help?"

"Being imprisoned, or hiding alone. Come on, what Reacher said most often when leading us is that assumptions can kill people." O'Donnell spread his hands.

"Swan is clean. I said he won't let his dog die of thirst. If he has a problem, he won't disappear like others." Reacher stared blankly. He glanced.

“But he didn’t disappear like the others. His body was never found and his home was not destroyed. Maybe he just ran away because when he messed up everything, he knew he would Three angry soldiers and a monster came to trouble him."

Niggly did not support Reacher this time as he did in the past. This was not against Swann or a hypothesis, but a reasonable speculation based on facts. This actually made Jack look at them with admiration.

As if to prove his intuition, Reacher told a story from that year. In an operation, the 110 Special Investigation Team seized 48 pieces of drug, each piece weighing one kilogram, but after the incident When taking inventory, it was discovered that one piece was missing.

During this period, Swann complained a lot, lamenting that those guys who used the military system to sell drugs could make more money in one transaction than all their pensions combined.

Coincidentally, the SUV that transported the seized drugs during this operation happened to be driven by Swann. Several people returned to the vehicle to check again and found that the missing kilogram of drugs had fallen from the trunk. Got under the back seat.

“But that doesn’t support your argument.” O’Donnell retorted. “Swann may have actually stolen the kilogram of high-purity heroin and it was just him who dropped it from the trunk and into the back seat. A small trick, if we failed to discover it, he succeeded.”

Nigli looked at Reacher with burning eyes, "Do you know what I think? You hope Swann is innocent, because you are the one who recruited him into the 110 group.

If he is really Being involved in this, you will come up with some stupid ideas, such as blaming yourself for other people's deaths, but in fact it has nothing to do with you."

" Guys," Dixon interrupted. There may be another dispute, "I think I figured out the meaning of this set of data."

Everyone turned their attention to her and saw her writing two numbers on the napkin, "According to Jack The number behind a set of numbers represents the number of times it should have happened, while the number before it represents the number that actually occurred.

I added the numbers together to get two totals, a total of two. There were 2197 times that a certain event was supposed to happen, but actually succeeded 1547 times, and then subtracting these two totals, what do we get?”

"650, 100,000 each, all of these are related together." Jack blurted out. He was indeed not good at mathematics, but after all, he was Chinese and could still do simple verbal calculations.
