Chapter 999 Still in Hawaii (9)
“These people are either divorced or separated. They are all single and temporarily unemployed for various reasons. Even if they disappear, they will not attract attention. It is simply It’s the perfect victim.”
Jack roughly compared the information of several people and couldn’t help but secretly marveled. It seemed that lying down was risky.
"You mean there was something wrong with that drug trial?" Hanna looked at a few people.
Kono shook his head. With her petite body standing in front of Hanna, the two of them could go directly to filming "Beauty and the Beast" without makeup.
"The pharmaceutical company should not be involved. The entire experiment has legal procedures."
"The problem lies with Ken Tanner. Only he has complete information about these people." Cheng Hao looked at Jack, "You reminded me to investigate his financial situation, and I found a lot of problems.
This guy was on the verge of bankruptcy a few months ago. His mortgage and car loans were all overdue, and all his credit cards were maxed out. , but just last month, a remittance of half a million dollars saved his life."
"The source of the remittance?" Karen narrowed his eyes slightly.
“This is the part that takes the longest time. I found some connections to speed up the investigation. The source of the remittance comes from a company called ‘CF&Q’.”
Cheng Hao connected his mobile phone to the computer and called up several bank statements.
“That’s a company under the name of Comescu.” Karen recognized the company at a glance.
"Uh, I thought NCIS had taken away all his family's property?" Danny looked at the two NCIS agents in confusion.
"It's all illegal industries." Karen corrected.
"OK, anyway, the matter is basically clear." Jack has almost figured out the context of the whole thing. The matter is not complicated. What they lacked before was just enough information.
"Comescu obtained the smallpox virus from the vaccine research laboratory in Montemari. In order to verify the effectiveness of these viruses, he bribed Ken Tanner and selected four people with difficult backgrounds from the list of test drugs he had. The innocent people who attracted attention were used as experimental mice.
Palmer's escape should be just an accident. As a veteran, he burst out with a will to survive that is beyond ordinary people. This is an unexpected factor.
After realizing that Palmer's escape might lead to the exposure of the entire experiment, Comescu began to clean up his hands. First, he killed Ken Tanner and pretended to commit suicide to delay time. The next step That’s it.”
Jack didn’t finish his words, but everyone else obviously understood what he meant.
"We need to find their experimental base as soon as possible. The remaining three experimental subjects may still be alive, and they will be silenced soon." Karen pointed with his finger at the photo of the three people on the screen.
Although there is little hope, Jack said secretly in his heart.
There is currently no specific cure for the smallpox virus, and immunity can only be achieved through vaccination. This allowed Palmer to escape from the laboratory and persist until he returned home for help. In addition to his tenacious will to survive, he was once The fact that the military has been vaccinated may also be one of the reasons.
The other three people on the screen have no experience in joining the military and have never been vaccinated. In theory, they can not last longer than Palmer.
But no matter what, we must find Comescu's virus laboratory as soon as possible. Firstly, there may be hope, and secondly, there may be more victims.
"I'm going to notify HPD and mobilize all police forces to try to find out the whereabouts of Comescu or investigate suspicious locations." Danny said and was about to pick up the phone, but was stopped by Jack. down. "I don't think it's necessary." Jack's fingers quickly slid across the screen. "Don't you think Comescu's one-time payment of $500,000 to Ken Tanner was too much? He bought those virus vials for a total of only Spend $6,000.”
His fingers stopped on one of the bank statements and double-clicked to enlarge it, "After receiving the money, Ken Tanner spent almost half of it to pay off the bank bills, but there was still half of the money left. Spend it to buy”
“Hospital beds and life monitors?” Everyone exclaimed.
“It’s not just that.” Jack pointed his finger at the item with the highest amount, “The negative pressure air purification system, the total price and installation cost is 140,000 US dollars. We have actually seen something similar not long ago. "
Danny suddenly said, "The isolation ward of Hawaii Medical Center!"
"Yes, that's right. Ken Tanner was much more involved than we thought before. He was also involved in the construction of the laboratory."
Jack Googled the manufacturer that sold this equipment, and soon After asking for the delivery and installation address over the phone, he looked at several locals with some confusion.
"There is a place called Sand Island near Oahu? They said that this set of equipment was sent to a warehouse on Sand Island."
"Of course." Kono's lips curled up. With a sarcastic smile, "Do you know what Sand Island was called in the past?"
"What?" Hanna asked in a very amusing way.
"Isolation island." Cheng Hao gave the answer.
"Sounds very relevant to infectious diseases or something." Danny raised his feet and prepared to go out, "I hope we can still make it to the party."
But the next moment Jack shouted Stopped him, "Wait a minute, are you planning to deal with a bunch of dangerous guys selling biological and chemical weapons like this?"
As he said that, he patted his waist, where there was only a poor Small pistol.
——
The three cars, a black Suburban, a silver-white Camaro and a red Chevrolet Malibu, were driving rapidly on the highway near the coast.
The person in charge of driving in the Saab squad is Cheng Hao. Jack is sitting in the passenger seat sorting out his equipment, including police body armor, ceramic inserts, communicators, and AR-15 rifles
What? The special task force specially appointed by the governor is so poorly equipped. The only sniper rifle Jack saw in the "Five-O" gun cabinet just now was an old Remington 700P. It was obviously a second-hand product.
"So, do you also drive your own car when performing missions?" Jack asked tentatively. The red Malibu leading the way seemed to be Kono's car.
"There will be some subsidies from above. After all, we are just a group that has been established for less than two years. Although there are some special allocations from the state, it is definitely not as rich as your FBI." Cheng Hao didn't seem to understand what Jack meant.
"Uh, I mean, what if it crashes during a mission?" Jack asked tentatively.
"Look for HPD's vehicle maintenance department. Their skills are quite good." Cheng Hao didn't understand why he cared about this.
Jack's cheeks twitched, "I mean, the kind that can't be repaired."
Cheng Hao was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about this problem, "So, Are your FBI missions usually that dangerous? ”
