Chapter 1239 Gold Robbery
“What, a batch of gold was stolen, but are you sure my intervention in this matter will be useful?”
Zhang Pin looked at the investigation bureau rushing in front of him. Commissioner, I was speechless for a moment.
He was originally just here to see off Johnson, because this guy wanted to continue hunting down Dominic and others since he woke up.
But because of the previous incident, the Brazilian authorities naturally did not want him to continue to get into trouble, so they had no choice but to ask Zhang Pin, who also belonged to the Investigation Bureau, to come forward to persuade him.
It’s really hard for Zhang Pin to refuse such a troublesome thing.
Sometimes the system is like this. While enjoying the convenience, some troubles cannot be avoided.
Especially a person like Johnson’s humane and sophisticated behavior.
This kind of thing is completely different from front-line actions, but it is much more important than front-line actions.
Whether or not to do an action is a matter of simply choosing to do it or not to do it.
As for how well you did it, how you achieved your goals, and how you dealt with the aftermath, that's another matter.
But in this situation, it is actually wiping the investigation bureau’s butt.
Because according to formal laws, the Bureau of Investigation has no overseas law enforcement power.
So the actions of Johnson and others are 100% illegal.
Of course, since Johnson and others dared to appear in Brazil openly and sought support from the Brazilian police, it does not mean that they can ignore the law.
But their own formal establishment is not affiliated with the Bureau of Investigation.
Their apparent credentials are that they are affiliated with Interpol.
Of course, everyone is aware of such superficial business, just like some clerks in Langley who use the identity of the Bureau of Investigation when enforcing the law within the country.
If nothing goes wrong with this kind of operation, then of course everything will be fine.
But once something goes wrong, there will be a lot of trouble.
This time something happened to Johnson and others, and four elite team members died all at once, making the situation even more serious.
First of all, the aftermath of the four people is very troublesome.
Because of this, it is difficult for Zhang Pin, as a member of the Investigation Bureau, to refuse if something like this happens.
At this critical moment when the aftermath should have been dealt with, Johnson not only refused to cooperate, but also wanted to continue causing trouble, which was obviously irrational.
Zhang Pin is not worried about how to solve Johnson's problem.
He directly asked the doctor to inject him with a quieter drug, and then easily waited until other personnel from the Investigation Bureau were sent to deal with the aftermath.
Originally, he thought that after the other party came, he would have nothing to do.
What surprised him was that the Bureau of Investigation mentioned another thing.
“Hans’ brother robbed a batch of gold from the Federal Reserve Bank. How did it end up like this?”
Zhang Pin listened to the investigation bureau employee’s explanation. The whole story suddenly felt a bit embarrassing.
He had some doubts about whether the accident happened because of his involvement.
Because it stands to reason that this crisis should be solved perfectly by McClane.
When he heard about the New York gold robbery, Sir Zhang would naturally not forget McClane. Logically speaking, with the other party as a lone hero, Hans's brother Simon should not be allowed to succeed.
But based on the intelligence from the Investigation Bureau, Zhang Pin found that something seemed a little wrong.
When Simon used bombs to threaten McClain and the entire Luojishan Police Station, because McClain was seriously injured, he was almost led by Simon.
If a foul-mouthed black man named Zeus hadn't helped McClane, his life would have been lost by now.
But even so, McClain was injured and is still hospitalized.
It was precisely because McClain was injured and hospitalized that the New York police initially did not take Simon's threat of planting bombs in public seriously.
The result is after the bomb explodes.
New York, which had no dealing experience, panicked and finally allowed Simon to achieve his goal.
Now this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it is heard that this group of people has fled to Europe and is preparing to trade with buyers, so the Bureau of Investigation officially took over the case.
But after taking over the case, the matter was not over.
Because the criminals have fled, the Bureau of Investigation theoretically has no law enforcement power outside.
But the case happened within the country.
So the Investigation Bureau naturally thought of inviting foreign aid.
The Bureau of Investigation naturally has a lot of foreign aid, but recently the one who has been the smoothest to cooperate with and has the highest success rate is definitely Zhang Pin.
So this time people from the Investigation Bureau came to find him again.
“I need to think about it, and lead the team this time.”
“We can provide you with an Interpol employment certificate, with tenure, and three American diplomas. The exoneration agreement signed by the judge himself. "
It seemed that Zhang Pin would refuse, so the investigator spoke first and revealed the reward for this mission.
The other party did not give any benefits such as money, but a lifetime employment certificate from Interpol and three exoneration agreements from America.
These two things are very valuable, but they don’t have a market price.
First of all, the Interpol appointment letter is actually just an identity.
Not to mention the immunity agreement. As long as ordinary people do not break the law or even live in America, they will never be able to use it.
But to say that this thing is worthless is not entirely true.
If Zhang Pin really wanted to sell this thing, many people would definitely be willing to spend millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
After all, having an Interpol employment certificate means that you have law enforcement rights in countries and regions that recognize Interpol, and you can also carry weapons with you.
This is not simply a symbol of status, but also includes security.
As for the immunity agreement, naturally there is no need to explain too much.
“It is best for you to use these things for your own use. No matter if they change hands, you need to inform us in advance.”
The investigators are obviously very confident in the promises made by their side.
Zhang Pin couldn't stand the other party's confident face, but there was nothing he could do about it. The benefits offered by the other party were indeed very tempting to Sir Zhang.
“Ahem, cough, cough, I’ll do my best.”
Sir Zhang is a pragmatist. This kind of thing is free for him, and there is no difficulty in agreeing. So after hesitating for a moment, he agreed.
There is no way, this benefit is too great, Sir Zhang simply cannot refuse.
"About the funds and manpower for this operation."
After agreeing to his benefits, Sir Zhang asked about the arrangements of the Investigation Bureau for this operation.
Simon was able to play around with the police departments of two major cities in New York and Luojishan. It is easy to imagine that his energy is not small. Although Sir Zhang is confident that he can defeat the opponent by himself.
But the Investigation Bureau will definitely not believe it.
So of course he will not let go of the benefits that should be striven for.
“Don’t worry about this. We have a special office in London. I will apply for a work visa for you when the time comes. All your expenses during your stay in London can be reimbursed or paid for by the office, but the manpower If so, you can only invite it yourself.”
The Investigation Bureau heard Zhang Pin’s inquiry and quickly introduced it to him.
Except for being a little embarrassed when talking about manpower, I am very confident at other times.
"By the way, according to the rules of our office over there, if you go out, Consultant Zhang, you will have a personal consumption limit of 10 million pounds, and the entire team will also have a consumption limit of 10 million pounds, which includes various weapons and intelligence Information can be spent on this expense.”
Hearing the words of the Investigation Bureau, Zhang Pin nodded, having a new understanding of the Bureau's wealth.
The two then confirmed some details. The Bureau of Investigation has a special informant following this line. They are sure that Simon has now arrived in London, and the buyers of the gold are also there.
But where Simon settled in London requires Zhang Pin to investigate by himself.
The only thing they can be sure of now is that Simon and others have not left yet, but now that the news has come back, Simon and others will not stay there for a long time, so now the two sides are scrambling for time.
“Would you be interested in taking a trip to London with me.”
Now that he has decided to go to London, Sir Zhang naturally needs to talk to Elena.
After he agreed to help the Bureau of Investigation go to London to chase gold, the Bureau of Investigation helped him process the Interpol employment certificate, and even prepared the Interpol certificate for him.
As for the fact that the Investigation Bureau cannot continue to support him with manpower, Sir Zhang can understand it.
In fact, the other party created this kind of consultant position because it was inconvenient to send people there.
The purpose is to make it easier for both parties to argue when a dispute arises.
Zhang Pin is not worried that the case will be too difficult. This time the investigation bureau's request for him is not to capture Simon, but only to ensure that the gold can be recovered.
Because the people who were tricked by Simon this time were the police in New York and Luojishan, the Investigation Bureau had no obligation to arrest Simon, especially after the other party had fled to London.
There is no need to arrest people, so the way to complete the task is more flexible.
First of all, the Federal Reserve lost a ton of gold this time. It is impossible for at least one or two people to move such heavy gold.
For an experienced person like Sir Zhang, he would naturally not be afraid of such a small case.
That's why he had the confidence to invite Elena to play.
“Forget it, I won’t delay your business.”
Elena was obviously a little surprised and excited about Zhang Pin’s invitation.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head and rejected Zhang Pin's invitation.
Although Zhang Pin found this matter very easy, Elena was not a little girl who didn't understand anything after all.
She has been a police officer for several years. Although she is a clerk, she also knows that there must be great risks in this matter.
Moreover, Zhang Pin could be favored by the Investigation Bureau and arranged to go to London to do work. From Elena's point of view, this was related to Zhang Pin's future, and she was unwilling to affect Zhang Pin.
"That's a pity. I will come back to Brazil to travel after I finish my work. Then you will receive me well."
Zhang Pin is not clear about some of Elena's thoughts. , thinking that the other party was just doing it for safety reasons.
After thinking about it, Simon and others were indeed in danger, so he did not continue to persuade them.
The two had not been together for long, and they were getting tired of each other, so the night they left, Sir Zhang had another night of fun. In the end, Elena almost fainted from exhaustion, and Sir Zhang gave up.
Early the next morning, before Elena woke up to see him off, Sir Zhang left a bank card for her and then left.
“Hey, isn’t this Captain Johnson?”
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the airport, Zhang Pin also met an acquaintance. Johnson, who he had arranged to lie in the hospital these days, not only After being discharged from the hospital, she actually got on the same flight as him.
“Hello, Consultant Zhang.”
Facing Zhang Pin's greeting, Johnson responded politely, but he had no intention of talking more.
The two have the same destination. With Johnson’s attitude, Sir Zhang guessed it without thinking too much. The other party must also be looking for gold.
Sir Zhang has no objection to the investigation bureau's attitude of casting a wide net.
In fact, the investigator who came to negotiate with him actually recommended Johnson to him as a team member.
After all, before this incident, Johnson had never failed in the past operations of the Bureau of Investigation.
However, Zhang Pin directly rejected the other party's recommendation. The reason was of course that he looked down on Johnson.
Although the Investigation Bureau is optimistic about him as a consultant, with the benefits of a ton of gold, they naturally don't mind casting a few more nets.
Especially because behind this gold stands the Federal Reserve, which is in charge of the U.S. dollar, the world's currency.
The Federal Reserve relies on its gold reserves, which account for the world's largest share, and America's strong national power, to ensure its reputation as a beautiful sword.
Of course they cannot allow the gold to be stolen openly.
In order to get back the gold, the other party was naturally very determined.
Not only did they plan the plan of Zhang Pin and other action teams, they even made a decision. If they couldn't get the gold back through action, they wouldn't even mind intercepting the buyer and spending money to buy it. gold.
Although the Federal Reserve secretly squandered the gold stored by countless people and institutions, it was only secretly.
On the surface, in order to maintain monetary hegemony, it is certainly impossible for them to allow gold to flow out, especially in this way.
Sir Zhang is not sure about the Fed’s determination. He is currently enjoying the food on the plane.
But Sir Zhang has a good appetite, but Johnson can't eat anything at the moment.
Unlike Zhang Pin, who treated him like air, Johnson was under so much pressure that his heartbeat could not help but speed up.
In fact, the reason why he did not dare to say anything more to Sir Zhang just now was because he was worried that he would be unable to help but ask Zhang Pin for help.
Unlike Zhang Pin, who can negotiate terms with the Bureau of Investigation at will, Johnson belongs to the Bureau of Investigation and has more conveniences on weekdays, but accordingly, he must also bear corresponding responsibilities.
This time around the death of four commandos, Johnson, as the captain, should logically be interrogated to confirm his innocence.
But this time after learning about the gold case, Johnson wanted to take the opportunity to make amends.
For his request, some leaders within the Investigation Bureau agreed, but they also put more pressure on him.
If he performs well in this operation, he will naturally make up for his fault, but if he performs too poorly, it will naturally become two things to be settled together, and even the leader who nodded this time will be implicated.
Johnson originally wanted to cooperate with Zhang Pin. This time in Brazil, he personally witnessed Zhang Pin's strength.
But who knew that Zhang Pin didn’t want him at all.
When Johnson learned about this situation, he was originally very angry, but he was also flexible and knew that this was a critical moment, so he endured it.
And this time he was on the same flight as Zhang Pin, which was also his intention.
The purpose is to see if there will be any changes during the period.
