Chapter 1069 Heading to South Korea (two-in-one chapter)
When New York truly bids farewell to the cold winter, the New York Botanical Garden begins to hold an orchid exhibition. Children laugh and play happily in the park, and ladies hurriedly walk along the street. I finally took off my coat and put on a thin and beautiful skirt.
Jie Jie walked quickly through a row of sewer grates, and the slightly rising air flow blew the hem of her skirt. Although it did not recreate the classic scene in the Hollywood movie, it would certainly be the same if it were cut into slow motion. Give more.
“Sometimes I really hate the dress code in federal departments.” Jack leaned next to the Audi R8 and opened the door for Jie Jie in a gentlemanly manner.
He suddenly realized that he rarely saw the girls around him wearing skirts. FBI field agents were on call 24 hours a day, so both Jiejie and Hannah usually wore smart women's suits and trousers. pants.
"On the contrary, I really like the way you look in formal clothes." Jiejie stretched out her hand to straighten Jack's tie, took the thermos bucket in his hand, and curiously tried to open it.
“You made some weird food for Danny again.”
“Soybean stewed pig’s trotters. I gave Linda the recipe. The portion is enough for three or four people. Yes, you girls can try it too, to beautify and maintain your beauty."
Jack wanted to close the car door for Jiejie, but was blocked by the girl, with a look of worry on his face, "You really want to be alone. Go to Seoul?”
“15 lives and 32 serious injuries must be recovered, not to mention those bastards made Danny cry.” Jack’s previous words seemed murderous. The second half of the sentence made Jiejie laugh.
"This matter is top secret. Linda has warned him repeatedly." Jiejie suppressed her smile and poked Jack's chest with her finger in a warning manner, but then she showed a bit of worry.
"No matter what, you must be careful, we are waiting for you to come back."
Nearly two months have passed since the street attack, and this case has become Jack's first love since his police career. The one that took the longest.
Of course, this does not mean that the entire wanted criminal team has done nothing except this case for two months.
Except for Jubal who has been participating in the work of the joint task force in Washington, Hannah is recuperating at home, and Jack and the other team members are still maintaining the daily work of the team.
The reason why it took so long was not that there were too few clues, but that there were too many. It took Jubal's joint task force nearly a month to compile a preliminary investigation report.
First of all, it can be confirmed that Zhang Mingjun has left the United States. Just as Jack expected, in New York, a global trading port, as a drug dealer and arms smuggler, the other party has one or two secret smuggling routes and will not let him. People are strange.
Based on the bodies of several attackers left at the scene, the CIA provided information about a small international killer organization, but the details were unclear. Detailed investigation is still ongoing.
Since this attack involved an act of terrorism and was essentially a diplomatic accident, in addition to the FBI, various federal departments were under pressure from the State Department. However, the speed of investigations against international covert organizations is usually slower. Not too soon.
It is said that the CIA has sent an undercover agent to target this organization. It is currently known that the other party charged US$50 million as a reward for rescuing Zhang Mingjun.
The IRS and the FBI jointly froze a number of related accounts, involving approximately US$100 million in funds. In addition to the US$50 million in remuneration, this killer organization that participated in the prisoner abduction operation was not able to steal the chicken but lost the rice. Loss of 20 million.
All the accounts involved in the remaining 30 million funds are believed to be related to Zhang Mingjun.
According to the information provided by the DEA, he and his key members have mastered a complete set of citrus poison manufacturing processes, which can use a variety of chemical raw materials to produce cheap citrus poison.
But just when they were preparing to expand their business from Canada to the United States, the boss Zhang Mingjun was accidentally imprisoned by Jack because of the "Little Wings" missile.
According to DEA's estimates, this operation almost depleted the drug trafficking organization's funds.
According to the accounts of several of his subordinates who were previously arrested with Zhang Mingjun, all his confidants and backbones were defectors from that country's military and were loyal to him.
It is said that many of these people have a blood feud with that country, including Zhang Mingjun, whose wife and daughter both died at the hands of a high-ranking official because of something.
Jubal even suspected that the purpose of this guy's purchase of the "Little Wings" missile was not purely for arms trading. Unfortunately, the few people arrested at the time were not confidants, but they had probably heard some stories within the organization. The sound of wind.
Zhang Mingjun once mentioned that he wanted to trigger the Civil War through a series of terrorist attacks, but the specific details are unknown.
The FBI speculates that he intends to transport some missiles to South Korea to implement this plan. Considering his status as a former soldier of a certain country, it seems that there is some possibility of success.
After all, the NYPD's mole scandal couldn't be suppressed, and it was almost reported to the media. Fortunately, Frank Regan's old lover at the TV station, Miss Davidson, took action and resolved the crisis at the last moment.
Mike Taylor, who was still on a mission in South America, took a side trip to Jamaica and captured the ESU members who had smuggled here and brought them back to the United States.
According to this person's confession, he was in debt crisis because of his addiction to gambling. An Asian approached him a week ago and provided him with a fake passport and an advance payment of US$2 million.
The other party promised to pay another 2 million after rescuing Zhang Mingjun, and he actually fulfilled it afterwards.
Although the information he provided was not much, it was very valuable. First, the FBI figured out Zhang Mingjun's escape route through him.
The other party prepared a simple electric car in the sewer in advance, entered the Hudson River directly through the sewer outlet, and boarded the freighter bound for Asia at the cargo terminal in less than two hours.
This confession is consistent with the traces and some pre-made marks found by the CSI laboratory in the sewers. They even fished out several abandoned electric cars in the Hudson River.
Finally, after gathering intelligence from many sources, Jack and Jubal sorted out the timeline and discovered something ominous. It seemed that not only was there a traitor in the NYPD, but there was also a problem within the FBI.
The International Department's assignment to the Most Wanted Team through Rosie was nearly two weeks ago, when Jack and Aubrey took over the assignment from Jon Michaels, the new head of the International Department.
The entire escort process and action route were stated in the mission letter at the time, but the person responsible for executing the escort mission in the plan was the SWAT team under the New York office.
Then a secret diplomatic team from a certain country arrived, and the two sides began talks. This process lasted for more than a week, and then Jack met Lieutenant Colonel Lin Zheling and Lieutenant Park who came to pick them up. At this time, the plan changed. According to Jon Michaels, he accepted the request of the head of the other delegation, shortened the extradition process, and advanced the departure time to the next morning.
This time change is very critical, because it was the shortening of the extradition process that caused the escort mission originally scheduled for FBI-SWAT to be assigned to the ESU team of the New York Police Department.
This is precisely the key to the other party's successful rescue of Zhang Mingjun. The armored vehicle escorting the prisoner has been specially designed. It cannot be said that it cannot be opened from the outside, but the operation is extremely cumbersome and requires multiple people to verify.
Even if there is a master who is proficient in blasting, it is impossible to stick a piece of C4 on the door and press the blasting switch, as shown in the movie scene, and the car door will automatically pop outwards, violating the laws of physics.
If you do it forcefully, even if you can blow up the car door, the person inside will still be seriously injured if you don't die.
So the bribed ESU team member is the key to the entire operation. So the question is, how did the person who rescued Zhang Mingjun know that the ESU special police would take over the FBI-SWAT escort mission and start it a week in advance? What about those who buy jobs?
Jack and Jubal approached Rosie with this question, and then launched a secret investigation.
Their primary suspect is naturally Jon Michaels. He was fully involved in the entire extradition process and personally formulated the entire process.
He was the one who contacted the NYPD to transfer the escort task to ESU. He was also the one who notified Beismida of requesting early extradition and thereby changing the escort plan. Jack even thought of a motive for him.
Last year, the International Department was in chaos due to internal strife. Rossi was asked to help mediate. Not only did he bring Mike Taylor into the FBI to establish a new field team, but he also recruited strong men from the wanted criminal team.
With his hard work, there were no big troubles in the field work, but the struggle for power and profit remained unresolved.
In the end, the old guy couldn't help but got angry and coaxed one end and the other end, and finally reached an agreement.
The International Department will be decentralized and downgraded. After dividing some responsibilities, it will be changed from the original nominal ownership of the New York office to the de facto ownership, with Dana Moger as the concurrent director.
Although the decision has not been officially announced, it has been circulated internally, so Jon Michaels, who has just taken over as head of the international department and is preparing to "show his ambitions", will obviously not be very happy.
After the prisoner robbery case, although Jon Michaels, as the actual executioner, had a difficult time, Dana Moger, as the person in charge who has always been keen to advocate strengthening cooperation with the local police station and personally promoted the project, was also questioned responsibility.
Because when the FBI is short of manpower, it is also one of the attempts of this project to let the SWAT team of the local police department perform federal tasks alone.
Fortunately, the wanted criminal team did not take any slack and went directly to the airport to wait, and Jack, the star agent, was present and performed steadily.
Although Zhang Mingjun still ran away, the bomb still exploded, and there were heavy casualties at the scene, it is obvious that if there was no wanted criminal team present at the time, the situation would be many times worse, and the ESU special police might have been wiped out. .
Considering that the reason why Jack came to New York was to serve as the liaison officer for this project, it can only be said that Dana Moger was too prescient to pry people away from Rosie, which also allowed her to deal with it in disguise. This time I felt a little more confident when I was under pressure.
The investigation into this incident is still ongoing, but it is said that Jon Michaels is considering taking the blame and resigning. This is obviously the rhythm of running away in the eyes of several people who have already doubted him.
But this is all just conjecture without any evidence. It is obviously unrealistic to launch an internal investigation against a department head based on this suspicion alone.
Fortunately, Rossi, who has great supernatural powers, still plays a stable role. Although Beismida is completely closed to the outside world, and even the CIA has difficulty breaking into it, it is precisely because of its closedness that diplomats who have been away all year round Just a few.
When a diplomat who had served as the head of a secret diplomatic mission went abroad again a week ago, he was greeted by CIA agents.
After some coercion and inducement, the other party admitted that he had accepted a $2,000 bribe from Jon Michaels, and that the request to shorten the extradition process did not really come from North Korea.
The reason Jon Michaels gave at the time was that he might be transferred soon, and he hoped that the job would end as soon as possible to increase his qualifications.
Although his words cannot be used as testimony, they are enough for Rossi to take action. The head of the International Department is now under secret surveillance.
The FBI's internal OPR (Office of Professional Responsibility, Office of Professional Responsibility) launched a secret investigation and discovered Jon Michaels' suspected secret account overseas.
Coincidentally, one month after Zhang Mingjun was arrested, this secret account received a remittance of up to 12 million euros.
It was through reverse search of the source of the funds that the IRS was able to lock the secret fund account of Zhang Mingjun's organization and follow the clues to find the account of the mysterious killer organization.
Of course, Jon Michaels is still kept in the dark at the moment, and he doesn’t know that his secret account will be frozen at any time, because OIG found that this guy is still secretly in contact with someone suspected of being Zhang Mingjun, for unknown reasons.
So when intelligence from South Korea not long ago revealed traces of Zhang Mingjun and his men, Jack decided to go to South Korea in person, while the rest of the team stayed at home and continued to monitor Jon Michaels.
The reason why he acted alone was because someone secretly wanted to take revenge. Hannah had been tormenting him for more than a month because of the scars on her shoulders and buttocks.
Although Jack has cheating treatment skills, such a serious scar cannot be completely healed in a few days. It is reasonable to wait for a month or two to slowly fade.
Then he was tortured miserably by the girl who was worried about gains and losses. He finally got relief until now, when the small pits that originally looked so scary and terrifying have almost disappeared.
Of course, Jack didn't really intend to act alone. In order to facilitate the assassination, he specially found an assistant to go to South Korea with him.
After bidding farewell to Jiejie, Jack went to JFK Airport alone. The Bombardier business jet assigned to the wanted criminal team had been waiting for a long time.
In addition to the two pilots and co-pilots, there was also a beautiful girl who was even taller than a model, wearing a professional suit similar to a stewardess uniform, waiting next to the ramp of the aircraft.
After greeting the pilot, Jack turned back and glared at Anna, who was wearing a short skirt and black stockings, as he walked onto the plane, "What are you doing? Why are you dressed like this?"
"Private Isn't it common for planes to have dedicated flight attendants? As your personal assistant, I can adapt to any role you want me to play," the former FSB agent said and winked at him.
