Chapter 326 “True” love?
"You are so worldly! Can't it be true love?" Lucy seemed to have fallen into some kind of fantasy, "A beautiful agent fell in love with a handsome air force lieutenant colonel or something."
"Cough!" Tim coughed lightly on the side, reminding a certain love brain that enough is enough at this time.
"Well, you're right, if she is a spy, then there is absolutely no way she happens to fall in love with an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel." Lucy sighed.
Tim took over and continued, "Lyle Marks works at the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Command. I inquired through some contacts and he did not go to work today."
After everyone exchanged information, John looked at Jack, "Should we inform Hannah of this information?"
Jack rubbed his temples with a headache, "If you want to take advantage, you need to go further and let them come to your door. Damn it, I really shouldn't have helped them. I have to find a way to coax Hannah later."
John patted him on the shoulder movedly, "Thanks, buddy, I owe you a big favor for this."
Jack rolled his eyes. This guy owed him two lives. This favor was useless.
"Let's go and visit the air force lieutenant colonel."
Still two people and one car, the four people arrived at Lyle Marx's residence according to the found address. However, what was not good was that the door of the house was ajar and loud music came from inside.
Following the old rules, the three LAPD turned on the law enforcement recorders, gave a warning, and entered the house with guns to search. Jack waited obediently at the door.
"Safe!" John's voice came from the room as the music was turned off.
"A body was found."
Jack walked into the living room and saw the corpse of a middle-aged man tied to a wooden chair. The corpse's chest was covered with blisters, and toothpicks were inserted between the nails of all ten fingers.
He made a brief inspection and found out, "rigor mortis has extended to the whole body and is almost at its peak. The time of death is about 12 hours."
A few of them looked at me and I looked at you, and they all thought this was troublesome.
"So, now there is a Russian female spy who is detained and tortured by her colleagues. Before that, her boyfriend had been brutally murdered. What do you think?"
After Tim finished speaking, he saw the corners of Lucy's mouth slowly rise, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, "You don't want to say that your beautiful agent fell in love with a handsome air force lieutenant colonel, do you?"
"Maybe they found out Catalina's whereabouts from her boyfriend and then caught her." Lucy spread her hands.
"At least you're not right about being handsome." John looked at the severely bald corpse in front of him and fell into deep thought. He found that he couldn't find any more points to refute.
"By the way, there is also the USB flash drive. The other party may also be here for the contents inside. Jack, haven't your people unlocked the contents yet?"
"I'll make a phone call to urge you."
Jack was just about to take out his cell phone to call Garcia when he suddenly noticed some unusual movements. The hand that reached for his trouser pocket subconsciously turned to his waist and pulled out his gun. Upon seeing this, the others immediately drew their guns and pointed at the door.
"It's me." A tall figure appeared at the door, and Rise's voice came at the same time.
Reese walked into the room and signaled everyone not to get excited, but when he saw the body, Jack was keenly aware that his face twitched.
It seems that he did not expect to see a corpse here.
Jack looked behind him, but didn't find the sweet girl, "Are you alone? Where is Hannah?"
Rise's piercing eyes swept over everyone, and finally landed on Jack's face, "The FBI is tracking the whereabouts of the two shooters on the street. Aren't you also an FBI? You should know the progress better than me."
"Uh" Jack choked and didn't know how to explain, "I'm on their side now, the BAU has not intervened in this case yet."
"Since you are here, come with me. This deceased person involves the military. I don't have much time to waste. If it cannot be solved as soon as possible, OSI (Air Force Office of Special Investigations) may also get involved."
After Rise finished speaking, he turned around and left very simply. They looked at each other and quickly followed.
Behind the two LAPD police cars parked at the door, there was a black van. Risela opened the rolling shutter door behind the car and motioned for everyone to get in the car.
"This is a huge Faraday cage." After getting in the car, John knocked on the car and found that the interior was completely covered with metal.
"Yes, to shield electronic signals." Rise and everyone else got in the car and closed the back door.
There were two rows of narrow seats inside the carriage. After everyone sat down, their eyes widened.
"Okay, let me talk first." Reese took the initiative to speak, realizing that no matter how sharp his gaze was, he could not stare into so many pairs of eyes.
"Katrina Andonova is an FSB agent responsible for instigating intelligence operatives hidden within Russia, but we believe that she left her post without authorization and entered the country secretly."
"Is this why she was captured by her own people and taken to the spy house?" John suddenly understood.
"Yes, the two men who attacked you are called Oril Stanislav and Frandik Zevin, special operations agents of the FSB who entered the country a week ago under false identities."
"Did they then attack Catalina who escaped and John who came to pick up the police to silence them?" Lucy asked.
"Of course." Reese was very honest. "In order to prevent her from falling into the hands of the CIA or FBI, it is obvious that as an instigator, she has some information on double agents."
"So, you don't know about her relationship with that lieutenant colonel?" Jack seemed to have some idea.
"I don't know, otherwise I wouldn't be lagging behind you." Reese admitted frankly, "Both the FBI and the CIA are not as powerful as you think. Jack should know this very well."
Jack waved his hands repeatedly, "Our BAU is not involved in espionage cases. I don't know about these."
Tim, the former "Ma Run" seemed to know something, "That's because this lieutenant colonel is not that 'important', right?"
The two men with somewhat similar temperaments looked at each other for a moment, and Rise decided not to continue on this topic.
"Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Lyle Marks' job is just to be in charge of an Air Force drone team. I can't figure out why he would be targeted by Catalina."
"Maybe we are all too worldly. Maybe she really fell in love with Max. The FSB found out that she was planning to defect, so they planned to kill her to silence her. As a result, Max died and Caterina managed to escape."
Lucy is still trying to stick to her spy romance novel reasoning.
After she finished speaking, everyone else looked like a subway man looking at his cell phone.
