Chapter 325 Private investigation
"Well, it can be done under the supervision of domestic agencies, such as our FBI."
While speaking, Hannah winked hard at Jack. Although she was not there during the previous counterfeit money case, she also knew about the audacity of the patrol officers to confront CIA and NIS agents.
Jack was just about to stand up and smooth things over for her, but unexpectedly, Reese took the initiative and said, "I just came back for a vacation. The FBI came to visit."
He frowned, looking uninterested.
His answer surprised Tim and others. Seeing that he didn't seem to be hypocritical, it seemed that he was a bit of a villain here.
"It's like this. The CIA has an office in West Hollywood. Since this case may involve some overseas matters, the above is"
Hannah explained with a dry smile.
"So does this case belong to the FBI now? Hannah, you have to know that I was almost beaten to death by two Russian spies just now?" John started to pretend to be pitiful.
Hannah glanced behind her in confusion. Some agents wearing jackets with FBI letters on them had already gotten out of the car and were waiting not far away.
"Sorry, John, this is the procedure. We just need your help to seal off the scene for now. If further assistance is needed, we will send a formal request to the Wilshire Police Department."
"Traitor." John, like an old kid who had been bullied, actually pouted and muttered in an aggrieved voice.
Hannah rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, and greeted her colleagues behind her, "Guys, let's get to work."
The people she brought were all technicians responsible for on-site investigation in the Los Angeles office. Almost all of them knew Jack and took the initiative to say hello when they passed by him.
"So? We can only watch from the outside?" Lucy was a little unwilling and lightly kicked Jack with her foot.
"You guys like solving crimes so much, why don't you apply to be a police detective?" Jack sighed helplessly. If he were a patrol officer from another company, he would be too happy to throw such a hot potato to the FBI.
"Let's go, go back to the police station first. If you want to get involved, you have to let the FBI beg you."
"What can you do?" John suddenly became more energetic and took the initiative to open the door for him.
"Did you forget that you still have a piece of evidence on hand?" Jack reminded him.
John slapped his forehead, "You mean my 'studio'? Yes, the missing woman must have left her fingerprints on it."
Patrol officers usually call their police cars "studio" because for them, whose daily job is to patrol the streets by car, the police car that is warm in winter and cool in summer is their office.
"Then we have to move faster. We must find enough useful clues before the FBI." Tim said and quickly asked Lucy to get in the car.
"Once again, the BAU also belongs to the FBI!" Jack was almost furious with these guys.

The inspection of John's police car yielded unexpected results. Not only did they find several fingerprints on the hood, which were left when John helped the woman hide behind the front of the car, they also found a USB flash drive in the mezzanine of the back seat of the car. .
Lucy took her fingerprints to verify that Kobe was right. Jack found a computer that was not connected to the Internet and plugged in the USB flash drive. Then, as expected, he found that the files inside had a password lock.
Someone made a small confession to Hannah for three seconds in his heart, and then returned to the BAU with the USB flash drive.
After preventing a bioterrorist attack near Washington, D.C., Hotchner gave everyone a short vacation and then locked himself in his office to write a report.
It is said that the word "Probationary" in front of the title of Jack and Red's probationary agent will soon be replaced by "Special".
Red went to the nursing home to see his mother today, and Rosie went to San Francisco to sign copies of his new book.
Emily and Jiejie went shopping. It was said that they originally planned to call Garcia, but it turned out that Garcia was recently forced by someone to exercise to lose weight. For the past two days, Garcia was paralyzed in her office, not wanting to go anywhere. .
Zoe and Maureen have been busy planning their wedding recently, and even the Hunters have been out of Los Angeles recently.
It is said that the two of them went out of town, and they didn't know what they were busy with. It seemed to be related to Dana, who was now officially working as an investigator for the IRS. Jack learned this from Chris, who had just returned to Los Angeles.
The relationship between the two is progressing rapidly. Dana flies back to Los Angeles almost every week to spend weekends with Chris, but recently she has been missing appointments for half a month because she and the Hunters are investigating a woman.
The old couple were so mysterious that they didn't say anything. Jack planned to call Ray King when he had time to see if there was anything he could do to help.
Doing nothing is Jack's current state, which is why he blindly interfered with John's current case.
——
"One meal of meat with sauce, one meal of pork elbow with rock sugar, and there should be at least a week in between, no more." Jack estimated that his cooking skills would be upgraded in these two days, and Garcia would make a lot of money this time.
After some haggling, the two signed and deposited the money. Garcia took the USB flash drive from Jack with a smile on his face, and then started typing on the keyboard.
"It's not too much trouble. It can be done in two or three hours."
Out of caution, Jack reported to Hotchner before going out that he was assisting Wilshere's friend in solving a small case.
Although I don’t know if Hotchner, who was thinking hard about the report on the table, heard it, but it was better to say it than not to say it.
Driving the swaggering Firebird sports car back to the Wilshire Police Station, Jack saw the funny trio walking towards him.
"Jack, we found the result of the fingerprint on John's car." Tim motioned to his little girlfriend to continue.
"The woman's real name is Katerina Andonova. She is Russian and entered the country on an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) visa."
Lucy raised her head and waved the report in her hand with a bit of pride. Being able to compare the results in such a short time, except that the fingerprints they obtained were clear enough, the forensic team must have found a way to jump in line.
Here is a little trivia: NGOs are not unique to Europe and the United States. Agents from various countries, including the FSB (Russian Federal Security Service), like to use the identity of NGOs to carry out activities.
"Continue?" Jack motioned for the three of them to continue.
"This Catalina doesn't have any criminal record, but our clever Lucy checked her INS (overseas version of WeChat Moments) account and found a person among the men who interacted with her the most."
John's compliment made Lucy's tail go up to the sky.
"Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lyle Marks, apparently he and Catalina have been dating for several months."
"This so-called 'association' makes you suspect that she is using this romantic relationship to steal information?" Jack was very flattering.
