Chapter 901 Discovery
Normally, when he heard words like CIA and secret agent, and knew that there was a serious former spy standing in front of him, Cassel would have been so excited that he couldn't help himself.
At this moment, he had no extra thoughts at all. He sat pitifully in his seat, watching the two people communicate with each other helplessly, and finally couldn't help but interject.
"So Sara's dad is super rich, and Kim has a super spy dad and an equally super rich stepdad, but why Alexis? Why did they kidnap her?"
One thing to say is that Cassel's self-perception at this time was very accurate. In comparison, he was just a well-known writer who was harmless to humans and animals and had a little money.
"For the time being we still believe that Sala is the main target. El-Masri has just admitted that he has close relations with some dignitaries in the previous Egyptian government, and as a result has attracted some very powerful enemies.
Therefore, the FBI suspects that this may be an act of retaliation against him. "
In fact, Jack had no confidence in this judgment. He looked at the photo of the girl Sarah for a long time. Although she was very beautiful, he had no impression. He suspected that the matter was not that simple, but unfortunately there was no evidence for the time being.
"So Alexis and Kim were just implicated, right? Appearing in the wrong place at the wrong time?" Cassel's eyes showed a hint of hope, but he found that the faces of the two people opposite him were extremely ugly.
"This is not a good thing, use your novelist brain and think about it." Jack reminded.
After being reminded like this, Cassel suddenly understood, "You mean, just because Alexis and Kim are not the main targets, they may be targeted at any time."
He stopped talking in horror. He didn't dare to think deeply about what happened next. If Sara was really the main target, then what would happen to the other two beautiful girls who were just kidnapped when they faced the vicious kidnappers? The encounter simply speaks for itself.
What happens to worthless hostages? Will he become a target for venting his nervousness or will he be silenced to keep it secret? Why did the other party take unnecessary risks to kidnap three girls at once? Does the other party have other intentions? No one can answer these questions now.
Jack reopened the sealed door of "SCIF" and took the two of them into the elevator, "My superior, Ms. Moge, is working with Director Reagan of the NYPD to meet with the major media in New York.
Soon the major TV stations will start to broadcast relevant news. We will exaggerate your worth appropriately and announce the identity of Kim's stepfather so that the kidnappers can realize the value of the other two girls as soon as possible. "
Only if the kidnappers know that Alexis and Kim are worth as much as Sarah and both have super-rich families, will they focus on demanding ransom.
Now they can only pray that the other party is really here for money. Even if the kidnappers plan to take revenge on El Masri by kidnapping Sara, they should not refuse the other two big meat tickets.
The elevator door dinged open, and Jiejie, along with the wanted criminal group and Beckett, were already waiting here carrying various large and small boxes.
"The next thing they have to do is go to your house and set up a listening device to track the kidnapper's calls. Don't worry, Jiejie and the others are very experienced in this area. As long as the other party calls, they will try their best to guide things in the direction we want. "
After Jack finished speaking, he quickly grabbed Cassel who was about to follow him, "As for you following me 24 hours a day from now on, I know you have many friends, but believe me, the person who can help you the most right now is you. in front of my eyes.”
Cassel was stunned and looked at Beckett subconsciously. Seeing her nodding slightly, he could only whisper to her, "Help me take care of Martha."
His mother Martha has been living with her father and daughter.
"I want to ask some of my friends for help. They may be able to speed up the search for the kidnapper Roger Hansen." Brian said in a hoarse voice.
Jack handed him an anonymous mobile phone, "This phone is not monitored and can be used with confidence, but neither You nor Cassel is allowed to leave my side from now on.
I know that you are all very capable people with many special channels and friends, and I don’t mind if you use your talents when the time is right.
But before that, I hope you understand one thing. Now is not the time to act recklessly. This kidnapping case involves the lives of three girls. Cooperation is the only way to solve this case.
I regard you as friends, and I hope you will not betray my trust. "
Jack said it sincerely, and that's exactly what he thought.
In the past, whether he followed the seals to Mexico or worked with Shenma Dongxi to clean up Japanese gangsters in Korea, Jack's role was always a supporting role.
It's like being in a real movie scene. There is nothing wrong with following the protagonist. When experiencing the plot, you can occasionally pretend to be a comparison, which will bring you some benefits.
In short, whether you follow a single protagonist or a group of protagonists, even if Jack is completely unfamiliar with the plot, even if the plot has been completely changed due to the real world's self-interpretation, it doesn't matter, just follow the omissions and fill in the gaps.
After all, there are only so many routines in American dramas. If you see your favorite character planting flags, just being vigilant can save many tragedies, not to mention that he also has the healing skills given by the plug-in to cheat.
Of course, things have not always gotten out of control, such as the CIA agent Matt Graver who died unexpectedly in Mexico and looked exactly like "Thanos".
It was Matt's death that caused the original plan to fail, and Jack had to take the lead and save the little girl Isabel.
Now this inexplicable kidnapping case seems to be more difficult. It is not known whether it is the plot collapse caused by the special "kidnapped" aura of "rescue brother" Liam Neeson and his daughter, or the plot of "Castle" has gone astray.
The result of this inexplicable linkage is unpredictable, and Jack feels extremely uncomfortable with the feeling that the situation is out of control from the beginning.
Not to mention the abuse that the girls may encounter, just talking about kidnapping, if you are not careful, the person may disappear without a trace, and his life or death is unknown.
In desperation, Jack can only forcefully tie the two protagonists to his side unreasonably, no matter where the plot goes, he can intervene in time.
Fortunately, he is now considered a half-"legendary figure", barely famous. Cassel is now at a loss and often listens to stories and collects materials at parties, and has a high degree of trust in his ability.
Brian's idea was more rational. In addition, Jack just treated them as friends instead of just the victim's family, so he also chose to stay.
After all, he is now just a retired CIA. Even if he is not retired, the CIA will also ask the FBI for help for such a case that happened in China.
Let's not talk about other things. Just talking about this operation center with hundreds of people, everyone works together and performs their duties for a case. He has never heard of such a scene.
There are also dozens of people in front of their computer screens, searching for the driving path of the van in countless dazzling traffic surveillance. Compared with one or two hackers tinkering there, the efficiency is so high that I don't know where it is.
"The final route has been determined." Alice stood up suddenly and excitedly projected a map on the big screen.
"We found the van in the tunnel from Midtown Manhattan to Queens. The van went up Greenpoint Avenue, turned right after McGinnis Street, and finally went west to Huron Street."
"Where did it go in the end?" Cassel asked excitedly with a fist.
"Not sure yet, but it's basically in this area."
Alice drew a small box on the map, "We retrieved the surveillance video of the surrounding intersections. The van never came out after entering this block."
Jack looked at the time. It had been nearly 6 hours since the three girls were kidnapped. He simply gave the order.
"It's less than 20 blocks in total. Notify the nearby NYPD police station and send all our field agents to search the van street by street.
All plainclothes officers travel, use disguised police cars, report immediately after discovery, and no unauthorized action is allowed!"
