Chapter 959 In Washington, D.C. (Part 2)
It just so happens that early this morning Clay and Aubrey got two fake IDs from the Denver office and drove to the "New Era Technology" Manufacturing plant.
It is common for federal agents to pretend to be identities to conduct investigations, and even the FBI itself is the biggest victim. The most common identities used by those CIA bastards when operating domestically are FBI agents.
But when they arrived at the place and asked, the supervisor on duty gloated that they were late. The last batch of 650 "Little Wings" missiles had just been transported half an hour ago.
Hearing the number 650, Clay and Aubrey seemed to have had a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, and they notified Jubal while driving in pursuit.
Just when Jubal contacted the Denver office and asked for reinforcements to be sent there, Clay and Aubrey encountered a group of armed men halfway.
The other party has killed the container truck driver and escort, and replaced the container cars on both sides with another identical truck head.
There were seven militants in this group, four of whom were equipped with Uzi submachine guns and all wore body armor. Clay and Aubrey were caught off guard.
Fortunately, although they flew to Denver, they borrowed two assault rifles from the local office before going to the factory just in case. Clay, the former Navy SEAL, made a big splash with the help of Aubrey. Shenwei killed five of them with force.
At that time, they saw two trucks parked on the side of the road. Aubrey, who was in the passenger seat, asked Clay to stop the car and planned to go down and ask about the situation. As soon as they opened the door, they were met by several people who turned their backs to them and pretended to repair the car. militants attacked.
Fortunately, this child has always been obedient, and Jack has always warned him not to trust too much in the bulletproof capabilities of bulletproof vests, and to insert bulletproof plates if there is a chance.
A few rounds of 9mm pistol bullets only left a few bruises on his belly after penetrating the car door. Realizing that something was wrong, Clay put the reverse gear on and kicked the accelerator to distance himself from the other party. .
But at this time, both the front tires of the Saber they were driving were blown out, and they couldn't run very far even if they wanted to. Clay was heartbroken, and after parking the car, he let go directly under Aubrey's desperate cover. He tilted his seat back, climbed into the trunk, took out his assault rifle and fired.
Poor Aubrey who was shot thought he was dead at the time, so he yelled towards the other side and emptied his magazine, then lay there waiting to die, and waited for Clay to finish killing the enemy and tear him apart. After checking his bulletproof vest, he knew he was fine.
When they called Jack, they were still on the roadside waiting for reinforcements from the Denver office to arrive. The police helicopter had been dispatched, but there was little hope of finding the stolen container truck immediately.
Denver is the capital of Colorado and a famous industrial city in the Midwest of the United States. The military industry, energy industry and machinery manufacturing industry are all extremely developed, and the road network is also extremely dense.
The roads here are full of similar-looking large container trucks, and the other party is obviously well prepared. While five people are left to block Clay and Aubrey, the other two are already driving. The large truck that had changed carriages fled away.
They had just checked the truck compartment that was left on the spot. The other party’s original plan was probably to use a container containing bricks of the same weight to package the goods.
Because it contains military equipment, it is impossible to open the box and inspect it. According to the information on the manifest, these missiles and launchers will be shipped to Los Angeles and then directly shipped to South Korea.
Normally, it takes at least three or four weeks to ship from the Port of Los Angeles to South Korea, and according to the military's usual behavior, those boxes may be thrown in the warehouse until they are scrapped. Then I realized something was wrong.
"So according to your inference, the upper management of 'New Era Technology', including the board of directors, may not know about this, and the person who is really causing trouble is actually just the director of a security department?"
At this time, I received a message Joey Reacher, who arrived in a hurry after hearing the news, also sat in the conference room. After hearing the whole story, he felt a little incredible.
"It can't be said that they are completely innocent. According to our guess, those missiles are probably just a bunch of useless products." After Jack considered it for a while, he still reported what they had discovered last night. Tell the truth.
"The upper management of 'New Era Technology' created a batch of deceptive goods to defraud funds, while the people below did not know where they contacted 'AM', an international arms broker, and planned to do the same thing. Earn a generous pension
Although we have no actual evidence that Congressman Lavoie was involved in this matter, I believe that at this time he should also receive the news that two of his subordinates were impersonated FBI agents. The news has come to my door, but I don’t know if DHS is interested in this congressman who may be involved in the case.”
Joey looked at his silent brother, and then at the young FBI in front of him who had the same name as his brother, and rubbed his brows with a headache.
He was originally the director of the Investigation Office of the Secret Service. After cracking a large-scale counterfeit money case in Margrave Town, he was promoted two levels and is now the deputy director.
In addition to being in charge of financial crime matters, because the Secret Service was placed under the name of DHS after 9/11, he also served as part of the anti-terrorism-related advisory work in DHS.
In other words, Joey can have a hand in matters related to terrorism within DHS, as long as they are related to money laundering and various financial instruments. But now anti-terrorism seems to have become a relatively inconspicuous part of the entire case. It is easy for Jack to take down a federal senator, but things involving politics are never simple.
Strictly speaking, the 100 federal senators in Congress and the interest factions they represent are the real masters of this country. If a senator is privately investigated without proper reasons, even if he is discovered, I had to walk around without being able to eat.
"What is the FBI's attitude towards this case?" Although the boy in front of him was his savior, including in the previous New York bombing case, he also saved a whole team of Secret Service agents and those under their protection in disguise. President of Bolivia.
However, Joey still decided to play it safe. This does not mean that he became an ungrateful political animal after his promotion.
He was also worried that Jack might be too young and have a sudden surge of passion. Coupled with the fearless brother beside him, things would eventually get out of hand.
Because there were two DHS agents present, Jack could only give a vague hint, "My superior, Ms. Moge, has followed this case throughout the entire process. This is her phone number."
After Jack finished speaking, he handed him a business card, but it was not that of Dana Moage, but that of David Rossi.
Joy glanced at it and immediately understood. He put the business card directly into his pocket, nodded slightly and said, "How do you plan to collect evidence? DHS will fully cooperate."
"'New Era Technology's factory in Denver will not be touched for the time being. It will only file an ordinary carjacking case and investigate the person in charge of the factory privately. If the other party can accurately intercept the truck in the middle of the road, there must be an insider.
According to a certain legislative director, These missiles are just hardware, and the chips are produced in New York. This may be the reason why 'AM' went to Denver first and then transferred to New York.
After all, it is a transaction worth up to 65 million, and both parties need certain things. Guaranteed, it sounds more reasonable to deliver the missile first and pay when the chip is delivered last.”
After speaking, Jack stretched out his hand, "As for the senator, give me one of your bugs, and then send a monitoring car to follow us. Rachel and I plan to go for a walk outside."
Joy. Hearing this, he looked at the two DHS agents, and they immediately left the office knowingly.
“I will contact David Rossi and Ms. Moger. As long as you can obtain tangible evidence, I will be responsible for completing all necessary procedures to legalize it, but the premise is that you cannot let those weapons Fall into the hands of terrorists, even if they are just fake goods."
"That won't happen, because we will kill all Langston's gang." Reacher's murderous words made Joey. He kneaded his eyebrows again and waved his hands repeatedly to signal his lawless brother to get out of here.
——
"Swan became the scapegoat, and Clay and Aubrey found his digital signature on the bill of lading found at the scene." Jack said in a casual tone as he looked at the Washington Monument in the distance and the Lincoln Memorial on the west side.
"So it's possible that he's still alive?" Lei Che, who was looking around at the situation, was slightly startled when he heard this.
"It can only be said that it is possible. You should have seen a lot of biometric verification devices in the 'New Era Technology' office. His digital signature should not be so easy to forge."
Jack He was also observing the surroundings. He was very satisfied with DHS's cooperation this time. He didn't know if it was because of Joey's personal arrangements. The surveillance vehicle dispatched by DHS did not use a box-type vehicle that could be seen through at a glance.
Even he didn't realize that the ice cream truck parked on the roadside had something else going on.
"Although, all of this is inference based on prior evidence, and the possibility of Swann's involvement cannot be completely ruled out. I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Jack really doesn't know this time plot, so I gave Rachel a vaccination in advance.
"I said, I will never doubt Swann." Reacher's tone was still so firm.
The two of them strolled around the National Mall for less than half an hour. As soon as they walked through the street next to Constitution Park, two black GMC commercial vehicles with government license plates suddenly appeared and parked next to them.
The car door opened, and two men and one woman in black suits stepped out of the car and stood in front of Jack and Reacher.
Reacher laughed mercilessly, "Let me guess, government license plates, official cars, official uniforms, it took Congressman Lavoie so long to find out who fucked his subordinate last night."
Both of the two men in black suits have a typical military temperament, especially the woman among them. The aura she has developed from giving orders for a long time gave Jack the illusion of seeing a sexual transformation. Although both of them are taller Very different in appearance.
