Chapter 932: Pseudonyms and Strange Numbers
There was not much content in the folder, so Alice directly moved a Bluetooth printer and started printing.
At the same time, everyone had finished their dinner. Jack fetched a box, and the others took out their mobile phones and turned them off before putting them in. This approach of guarding against gentlemen and villains meant that it was time to talk about business.
"How's the investigation of the vehicle following us going?" Jack looked at Clay and Aubrey.
Aubrey looked a little annoyed, "We rushed over as soon as we received your message, but the other party left just as we arrived. We tried to counter-track but failed. The other party was very experienced and used It’s still a fake number plate.”
When Jack and Rachel left Franz's house, they discovered that their car was being followed. It took them 20 minutes to get to Franz's office. Although there was a traffic jam, there was also a deliberate delay in waiting for Orb. The reason why Ray and Clay came to counter-track.
As a result, when the two entered the office and came out again, the black SUV following them had disappeared.
Jack in turn comforted, "It's not your fault. It was me who asked not to use the bureau's manpower. It's really difficult for just one of your cars to keep up with each other in New York City during the evening rush hour."
Jubal was a little confused, "I have a question. You don't want the outside world to know that we are involved in this case, and you even keep it secret within the bureau. Did you hear some rumors?"
Jack smiled and shook his head. He couldn't say that he simply thought that the case involving Reacher would not be simple. Moreover, an FBI traitor appeared in Margrave Town last time. This time he only did it out of caution. Bar.
He pointed at Lei Che, first introduced his past identity to everyone, and then continued his analysis.
"There is no rumor, it's just intuition. The investigators of the Army's 110 Special Investigation Team are not easy people. So many CIA officials have died who dared to investigate toilet seats worth ten thousand dollars a piece and mugs worth $1,200 a piece.
But the team led by Reacher was able to send more than 200 criminal Army soldiers to prison in three years and finally escaped unscathed. Their ability can be imagined. "
"Ahem" Rachel touched his nose in embarrassment, "We were forced to disband."
Jack waved his hand carelessly, "It's not important. What's important is that all of you didn't die in the plane crash. According to the information I found, after the 110 Special Investigation Team was disbanded, only one person died in a car accident in these years. This is already That's enough to prove something.
But in such a dream team, suddenly one day someone was murdered for protecting a secret, without even having time to ask other people for help. Is this reasonable? My gut told me something was wrong, so I chose to err on the side of caution.
In this way, even if someone wants to inquire, they will only think that the case has been ignored by the NYPD and treated as an ordinary murder case. "
In fact, Jack's words were a bit forced, but everyone has become accustomed to trusting him. After all, this guy rarely makes alarmist statements, but when he comes up with some amazing ideas, he can always confirm it. That guy in Central Park The new man-made pond is proof of this.
At this time, Hannah picked up the A4 paper that had been printed on the table, frowned and asked, "Can anyone explain what this series of names means?
Andrew McBride, Alan Mason, Alejandro Mendis, Alexander Makepos."
"Pseudonym." Jack and Reacher said in unison, and the latter raised his hand to signal him to continue explaining.
"The abbreviations of these names are all AM, which is very convenient for users to sign. No matter which name you use, your signature always only needs to write an A followed by a wavy line."
Jack also learned this trivia from Emily. When she was working in the multinational joint task force "JTF-12", her pseudonym abbreviations were all AJ.
"OK, then what do the random data on these papers mean?" Aubrey looked at the stack of A4 papers in his hand.
There are only two documents in the USB drive folder. One has a total of 8 different names written on it, all of which are pseudonyms abbreviated as AM, while the other document has a total of 7 pages, with more than 20 different numbers on each page.
Each group of these numbers consists of two different tens digits, one big at the front and one small at the back, such as "15/17" and "13/19", which makes it impossible to see the pattern at all.
These A4 papers have basically been passed around to everyone, but this time no one can tell even a guess.
"It shouldn't be a password." Reacher said in a low voice. "Franz used such strict means to preserve this information. There is no reason to encrypt it again. This at least shows that these numbers are meaningful.
In any case, this information must be very important, so important that Franz would sacrifice his life to protect it. "
Jack's biggest headache is mathematics. Among the people present, if even Aubrey, a guy who has been on Wall Street, and Alice, a computer expert, the two people who should be the most proficient in mathematics in theory, can't see the rules, he I don’t plan to continue wasting time on it.
"I will find a friend who is sensitive to numbers and reliable enough to help me take a look." Of course he was talking about Chris and Red. If even the two of them can't analyze it, then the world can figure out the meaning of these numbers. There should not be many people left.
Currently, there are limited clues, and no one intends to waste time. Not long after, everyone was driven back to sleep by Jack.
They all have their own tasks to do tomorrow. Hannah and Jiejie are sent to protect Franz's wife and son, although theoretically, if they were in danger, they would have been in trouble long ago.
But since the other party was able to track Jack and Reacher, it means that they must have been ambushed near Franz's house at that time. For safety reasons, Jack still plans to let Hannah and Jiejie secretly protect the mother and son for a few days, and see if the other party will show up again.
Jubal will take a wanted mission tomorrow, and will go to the New York office to communicate with Dana Moger, so that insiders will think that the wanted criminal team is busy with other things recently.
Alice is responsible for checking the traces Franz has left on the Internet in the past, mainly emails and social accounts. Although they did not find his mobile phone or laptop, they can always find some clues with some effort, depending on whether it is important or not.
Danny's work is a bit similar to Jubal's. Although Jack has handed over the case to the NYPD before, it was a verbal handover in Director Reagan's office.
On the surface, the case is still being handled by the NYPD, so Danny is responsible for playing the role of an incompetent NYPD detective. Even if someone wants to snoop, they will only find a few thin files on his desk, that's all.
As for Clay and Aubrey, they are naturally backup. Whether it is Jack and Reacher, or Hannah and Jiejie, they must be ready to provide support at any time.
