Seeing Kitteridge preparing to arrest him, Ethan, who knew that he had been unfairly wronged, was naturally unwilling to surrender.
So he created an explosion and took the opportunity to escape.
Zhang Pin: "The old man who fell on the bridge before was a member of your team?"
Ethan is now alone and helpless. When he meets Bourne, Langley's traitor, At this time, he felt a sense of sympathy.
In addition, the other party indirectly saved his life, so Ethan did not hide his experience from the two of them.
"Yes, he is Jim, the captain of our team, and he has been my friend for many years."
When Ethan heard Zhang Pin's question, he couldn't help but show the nostalgia for his old friend on his face.
In an intelligence team like theirs, the relationship between partners is actually closer than lovers. After all, everyone works together and works together, but their lives depend on each other.
It is difficult for ordinary couples to trust each other like they do.
Now because of a mission, all his teammates were killed. For Ethan, it was a big blow.
"Well, we can actually cooperate."
After Zhang Pin confirmed that the old man was Ethan's teammate, he thought about it and simply proposed his intention to cooperate.
"Since you said that Langley thinks there is a mole inside you, then I think the situation must be close to ten."
"Especially in this operation, in Ami In the mainland of Lika, to steal information from the French Consulate, to be honest, this operation is simply mind-boggling."
"It's probably that Kittredge who is chasing you deliberately released it for fishing. , now it seems that his bait was successful and you all took the bait.”
When Ethan heard Zhang Pin say he wanted to cooperate, he was subconsciously ready to refuse.
After all, he knew that he had been wronged, and Byrne was the real Langley traitor.
It is obviously impossible for him to cooperate with the traitors.
But after hearing Zhang Pin say that this operation was probably the bait used by Kittredge for fishing, he immediately froze on the spot.
"Impossible, who are you? There is really a traitor among us, and he took the bait."
Ethan obviously couldn't believe this fact.
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t think that Kittredge wanted to liquidate you.”
Zhang Pin saw this very clearly, and even he already knew, Who is the real mole in Team Ethan?
But he did not tell Ethan directly.
The reason for this is not that he wants to trick the other party into doing things for him, but because there is no evidence.
Although he and Bourne saw clearly that when they were on the bridge before, the guy named Jim jumped into the river by himself.
But with the deep relationship between Ethan and the other party, if Zhang Pin said this directly now, the other party would not believe it.
Originally, there was still the strong man who fired the gun who could be used as a witness, but Zhang Pin checked several gunmen ambushing around the corner before and remembered that among the gunmen killed by Bourne, there was the body of that strong man. .
Unless he goes to help Ethan find that Jim, he can prove that he is not telling lies.
But he and Ethan are not related, so it is naturally impossible for him to go to trouble to find someone for each other.
"Impossible, how could there be a traitor in our team? There must be some misunderstanding, yes, there must be some misunderstanding!"
Ethan really didn't want to believe what Zhang Pin and Kittredge said, but Fortunately, although he kept mumbling all the way, he still took Zhang Pin and Bourne to the safe house.
“Actually, you won’t know if there is a mole after you give it a try. If it’s like Kittredge said, someone in your team is betraying Langley, he will definitely have the information. Record the transaction. Now that your teammates are dead, check the items they left behind. I believe there will be something to gain."
Zhang Pin secretly hid a little thought.
He also told Bourne before that he would try to find some information about Langley's stepping stone plan to use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Langley.
Originally, he wanted to use Warren from the Bureau of Investigation to help him.
Based on his current relationship with Warren, as long as it does not involve some positional issues, I believe that the other party will never refuse.
But now that Ethan, the elite of Langley's intelligence department, is here, it is obviously more convenient to find him, and the information does not need to be limited to the Stepping Stone Project.
“Check their things.”
After hearing Zhang Pin’s suggestion, Ethan hesitated for a moment.
After all, what he did was tantamount to disrespecting and distrusting those dead team members.
But when Ethan thought that all the team members were dead, yet they had still suffered unjust injustice, his mood immediately became firm.
"Yes, check their things. If, I mean if any of them are insiders, they will definitely not be able to leave any evidence for themselves to be discovered, but they will definitely need to communicate with others. They will definitely use email to communicate instead of phone messages that can be easily monitored.”
When Ethan decided to check the team members’ belongings, he didn’t do anything casually, but thought carefully. reasoning, and ultimately a goal was determined.
“No, nothing, they are not moles after all.”
Ethan checked the computers of several team members left in the safe house, but did not find any suspicious information.
He suddenly became excited.
"Who would be stupid enough to keep email information? Is this computer used by you for external communication? Why don't you think about it carefully. As far as I know, there was a well-known message in Luojishan recently. Broker, why don't you send him an email to test him?"
Zhang Pin didn't take Ethan's optimism seriously.
Unlike Ethan who knew nothing, because Zhang Pin already knew the target in advance, he naturally knew the result in advance.
He has determined that the mole is Jim, Ethan's captain.
Just before he wanted to sneak into the Jinbing headquarters, he got news that Bruce, the second-in-command of the Jinbing Group, was receiving an intelligence broker.
Now thinking that Langley deliberately released false news to lure the mole, Zhang Pin was very suspicious that the intelligence broker was probably the mole's buyer.
Because the sales channels for this kind of intelligence information are actually much less than the sales channels for many stolen goods.
It can even be said that if you are not a professional, even if you have some information, it is impossible to sell the information.
Therefore, it is actually a very normal thing in the intelligence community for Kitteridge to focus on his own people to betray undercover information.
".I'll give it a try!"
Ethan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, opened the computer email, and then tried to edit the wording.
As a professional himself, he naturally knows more about the intelligence community than Zhang Pin.
After hearing Zhang Pin say that an intelligence broker came to Luoji Mountain and something happened to his action team, he actually had the same suspicion in his mind. Now he keeps rejecting it. In fact, it is more just It’s just self-deception.
With Zhang Pin's help in identifying the target, Ethan quickly found the other party's email address through his own channels. Then he edited a paragraph: There is a problem with the undercover list of previous transactions. The network has been supervised and has become unsafe. I need to discuss it in detail with you in person.
After the email was sent, Ethan seemed to have lost all strength and lay directly on the chair without moving.
Then he looked closely at the computer screen, fearing that the other party would not reply, and at the same time, he was even more afraid of the other party replying.
Unlike Ethan’s suffering, Sir Zhang is having an eye-opening experience right now.
"Good guy, there are videos of the leader of Frank Chicken eating and sleeping. This is all the information of the head of the Five-Star Group over there in Bangzi. Hey, the two women in his family are very good-looking, and they even filmed others without clothes on. Pictures of clothes, despicable!”
I don’t know if Langley forgot or it was too late. They had already identified Ethan as the mole, but they did not have the authority to ban them.
With the help of the authority of these intelligence agents, Sir Zhang successfully entered the information database of Langley Intelligence Department and successfully viewed some confidential information.
Then he discovered that what these ghost guys did was much more exaggerated than he imagined. The other party could not find the people in power who monitored most of the other forces and the people in charge of some key positions.
Every move of many people is even monitored in real time by them.
Thinking of this, Sir Zhang immediately retained a lot of information.
"Reply! I actually replied, here is the meeting address!"
Before Sir Zhang could collect all the information, Ethan on the side had a look of disbelief on his face. He stood up confidently, staring at the computer and yelling.
The email they sent to the intelligence broker was actually answered by the other party, and the other party chose to make an appointment.
This result was obviously difficult for Ethan to accept for a while.
Because the other party's reply obviously showed that the intelligence broker had obviously been in contact with the owner of the mailbox for a long time, and both parties were obviously familiar with each other.
Ethan suddenly became a little overwhelmed. He had no idea that his colleague who had worked with him for so many years was secretly selling Langley's information.
"It's impossible. I saw them all dead with my own eyes. What's going on?"
After Ethan was shocked, he was full of doubts.
Because after confirming that there was a mole among his teammates who betrayed the information, he raised another question, that is, if his teammate was a mole, how could he die this time? But he was the only one left alive.
No, Ethan thought of this, and he glanced at Zhang Pin and Bourne. If Zhang Pin and Bourne hadn't helped, he would have died by now.
Zhang Pin did not agree with Ethan's statement. At least he confirmed that Ethan did not see Jim jump off the bridge when he was standing on the bridge, but he was not eager to refute him. .
“Since they want to meet, it’s better to go and meet, then a lot of things will become clear.”
Hearing his words, Ethan also nodded.
“Yes, I should go and meet them. Once I meet them, I believe everything will be clear.”
"What about you, have you got what you want?"
After Ethan finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Pin and Bourne.
Of course he also knew that the reason why the two of them helped him was because they wanted to get something from him.
Ethan turned a blind eye to Zhang Pin's action of checking the computer just now.
Now that things were about to become clear, he asked about their purpose.
"Well, that's almost enough. How about we say goodbye?"
Zhang Pin didn't feel embarrassed when he heard Ethan's question.
Just as Ethan thought, if Zhang Pin and Bourne had not met unexpectedly, the other party might have died here.
They saved Ethan's life, and now they are just using the other party's equipment to get some information, which is not too much.
“Okay, let’s just say goodbye!”
Ethan nodded. He was not the mole himself. Now that he was wrongfully accused, he naturally wanted to find the mole and clear himself of the suspicion.
Jason Bourne is different. The other party has actually rebelled.
It would be bad if someone knew that he and Bourne were involved too much and were still in contact.
Because whether it is being doubted about his position, or being asked to deal with Bourne, Ethan is unwilling to do so.
So for him, it would be beneficial to both parties to separate from each other early.
Watching Zhang Pin and Bourne leave the safe house, Ethan sat down on the chair and did not recover for a long time.
On the other side, Zhang Pin and Bourne walked out of the safe house.
"I know where the Langley group who came to arrest you live now. Let's go directly and talk to them."
Zhang Pin looked at Bourne, and then He raised the CD in his hand.
Just now, he had copied many of Langley's secret plans from Ethan's computer.
The one that surprised him the most was the operation named Project Prism by the other party.
This operation is theoretically very private, but most of Langley's intelligence personnel can inquire about it.
The reason for this is naturally because this operation requires a large amount of work and requires many people to participate, so it is naturally difficult to keep it secret.
The content of the Prism Project is also very simple, which is to monitor most of the big shots from other forces and confirm that their every move does not pose a threat to America.
The reason Zhang Pin was interested in this plan was not because he wanted to threaten the other party with this plan.
In fact, since there are so many people involved in this operation and the scope is so wide, any team of Langley intelligence personnel can investigate it, so it is naturally impossible to keep it secret.
Zhang Pin even guessed that many people who were being monitored were probably aware of it.
It’s just because of America’s hegemony that I dare not speak out in anger.
Of course, this does not mean that this matter has no value.
On the contrary, Zhang Pin felt that this plan alone was enough to be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations between him and Bourne.
Because although this matter exists because of America's hegemony, it is also a conflict between America's values.
You know, what America admires now is freedom. It is precisely because of this strong value that the other party was finally able to win the battle with the furry bear and become the number one in the world. .
If this matter were to be exposed on a large scale, America’s base would be the first to be impacted.
The value of an event like this that will affect national policy is naturally large enough. (End of this chapter)
