Chapter 327 Loss of interest
Tim slapped himself on the forehead, "Are you sure that with Lyle Marks's handsome face, there will be true love between Catalina and him? His hairline has grown to the back of his head."
Lucy looked up and thought for a moment, as if she was assuming the role of Catalina, her face fell, "Okay, maybe I'm overthinking."
"I have read Catalina's file. Believe me, she is an absolutely rational woman." After Rise finished speaking, his stern eyes swept across the crowd again.
"If you can't provide more clues, this conversation will end here. My time is limited, and there are two more from the FBI."
"Wait a moment." Jack quickly told the story about the USB flash drive.
"It should be almost time."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and showed it to everyone. The shielding effect of the carriage was indeed first-rate, and there was no signal at all for mobile phones.
Rise sighed, walked to the door, entered the password, and opened the car's "secret room."
Garcia had indeed done it and sent the file on the USB flash drive, but it only contained a list of more than ten people, with military ranks and positions marked at the back.
"Is there any secret code in it?" Jack was a little confused. This thing didn't look like top-secret information.
Maybe Rise himself felt that sending and receiving messages in and out of the "secret room" in the car was a bit embarrassing. At John's suggestion, the few of them sat in a burger fast food restaurant where patrol officers often visited.
"Confirmed, this is just a list of members of the drone team led by Lyle Marks. It is not confidential at all."
Rise finished a portion of the burger in two bites, picked up the cell phone on the table, took a look at it, and said.
Everyone looked at each other, all confused. Only Lucy slapped the table excitedly, "Haha, let me just say, in the end, my guess is the most reasonable."
Tim covered his face and pretended not to recognize this woman, and even Rise's poker face could hardly hold back.
"Perhaps we are all thinking too complicatedly. Since the CIA has Catalina's files, why not dig deeper and see if there have been any major changes around her in recent years."
Jack began to use his reasoning ability, "In addition, what tasks does the drone team led by Lyle Marks perform on a daily basis? Maybe this list does not seem important, but it may have some special significance for Catalina."
Rise followed his good deeds, picked up his cell phone and dialed it. He was extremely skilled, proficient in various tactics, and could go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire. However, this time when he returned to China for vacation, he was roped in to solve the case halfway, which really made things difficult for him.
The internal efficiency of the CIA system is quite high. When several people were about to finish the food on their hands, Riese's cell phone rang again.
"Katrina had a twin brother who was a Doctor without Borders. He died in Syria a few years ago. Well, as you guessed, that mission was carried out by the drone team under Lyle Max."
Riese paused and added a little more detail, "They bombed a building by mistake, and Catalina's brother was in that building at the time. His death was later determined to be 'collateral damage.'"
"The Air Force insisted that there were terrorists hiding in the building. The incident was declared closed after a very simple investigation, and Max and his team members were not punished in any way."
"So it was Catalina who killed Max? Her purpose in coming to this country was revenge!" John suddenly realized, and now everything became reasonable.
"Katrina got close to Max through dating, but apparently she eventually lost her patience, or she sensed that her former colleague was approaching and didn't want to continue wasting time, so she simply obtained the list through torture."
"But then she fell into the hands of her former colleagues and was tortured. They wanted to know why Catalina defected. Then she took the opportunity to escape and met John."
Tim spoke very quickly and sorted out the entire context of the case.
Jack yawned in disinterest and stood up to leave, "I don't have anything left to do. I want to go home and sleep."
John was a little surprised. In his impression, Jack always seemed to be confident and full of energy.
"But we haven't found Catalina's whereabouts yet. Aren't you going to help catch her?"
Jack's butt is not the same as the old beauty at all. At this point in the investigation, the case has become clear, but this kind of mess involving the hatred of the country and the family prevents him from gaining any sense of accomplishment.
He had no sympathy for the Air Force lieutenant colonel who was tortured to death. If it weren't for the fact that this case might involve John's safety, he wouldn't even want to say another word.
"There is no need to continue tracing her whereabouts. Since this list is so important to her, she will definitely come to her."
Jack patted John on the shoulder, and then said to Reese, "Just keep an eye on him. Since Catalina hid the USB flash drive in his car, she will definitely find a way to sneak into the police station parking lot to look for it."
"If she doesn't find the USB flash drive, she will continue to find John. Keep him in your sight. Just wait until Catalina comes to your door. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After finding a super bodyguard for John, and with Tim and Lucy here, Jack thought he might as well go home early to play with Hannah.
He has also seen pictures of Catalina. She has a popular face and is definitely not the protagonist of a bug like "Black Widow", let alone Rise's opponent.
Sure enough, not long after Jack arrived home, he received a call from John. Katarina was subdued by Reese in the parking lot of the Wilshire Police Station. The other two agents from the Russian Operations Team had also been captured by the FBI.
Jack hung up the phone, sighed, opened the door, reached out to catch Hannah who rushed towards him, and held her tightly in his arms. She was indeed a sweet girl, and the way she came to ask questions was so unique. .

Time came in May, and the temperature in Los Angeles began to gradually rise. The old Hunters still did not return to Los Angeles. Jack made several calls one after another. They seemed to be dealing with a messy matter about a nursing home.
Jack asked again and again, but Old Hunter insisted that they could handle it and no help was needed. He contacted Dana again through Chris and Dana.
Although he still didn't know what the specific matter was, Dana repeatedly emphasized that there was no danger, so he didn't continue to ask.
The cooking skills were finally upgraded to the master level through unremitting practice, although this did not allow Jack to make any sparkling dishes, nor did he appear the magical cutting skills that allowed Newton to lift the coffin board.
But in addition to the perfection of the taste of each dish, Jack also discovered the magic of cooking skills. As long as he comes into contact with an ingredient, he can get a feeling in the dark.
This feeling allows him to accurately determine the quality of each ingredient and whether it is harmful to the human body. He can even process some inherently toxic ingredients without any instruction and turn them into some kind of supreme delicacy.
