Chapter 959 In Washington, DC (Part 2)

It was a coincidence that this morning, Clay and Aubrey got two fake IDs from the Denver office and drove to the manufacturing plant of "New Era Technology".

It is common for federal agents to impersonate others to conduct investigations. Even the FBI itself is the biggest victim. The most common identity used by those CIA bastards when operating in the country is FBI agents.

But when they arrived at the place and asked, the supervisor on duty gloated and told them that they were late. The last batch of 650 "Little Wing" missiles had just been transported away half an hour ago.

Hearing the number 650, Clay and Aubrey seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. They drove straight and notified Jubal.

Just when Jubal contacted the Denver office and asked them to send reinforcements, Clay and Aubrey encountered a group of armed men on the way.

The other party had killed the driver and escort of the container truck, and replaced the container compartments on both sides with another identical truck head.

There were seven militants in total, four of whom were equipped with Uzi submachine guns and wore bulletproof vests. Clay and Aubrey were caught off guard.

Fortunately, although they flew to Denver, they borrowed two assault rifles from the local office before going to the factory just in case. With the help of Aubrey, Clay, a former Navy SEAL, was able to kill five of them.

At that time, they saw two trucks parked on the side of the road. Aubrey, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked Clay to stop the car and go down to ask about the situation. As a result, as soon as he opened the car door, he was attacked by several militants who were pretending to repair the car with their backs to them.

Fortunately, this child has always been obedient. Jack has always told him not to trust the bulletproof ability of bulletproof vests too much, and to insert bulletproof plates when there is a chance.

After several 9mm pistol bullets penetrated the car door, they only left a few bruises on his belly. Clay, who found it bad, put the car in reverse gear and stepped on the accelerator to distance himself from the other party.

But at this time, both front tires of the Subaru they were driving were blown out, and they couldn't run far. Clay made up his mind, parked the car, and under Aubrey's desperate cover, he directly laid down the back of the seat, climbed into the trunk, took out the assault rifle and shot back.

Poor Aubrey, who was shot, thought he was dead at the time. He yelled at the opposite side and emptied his magazine and lay there waiting to die. After Clay dealt with the enemy and tore open his bulletproof vest, he found out that he was fine.

When calling Jack, they were still waiting on the roadside for reinforcements from the Denver office. The police helicopter had been dispatched, but there was little hope of finding the stolen container truck immediately.

Denver is the capital of Colorado and a famous industrial city in the Midwest of the United States. The military industry, energy industry and machinery manufacturing industry are extremely developed, and the road network is also extremely dense.

The large container trucks that look similar are coming and going on the road here. The enemy is obviously well prepared. While leaving 5 people to block Clay and Aubrey, the other 2 have already driven away in the large truck with the changed compartments.

They just checked the compartment of the truck that was left there. The enemy's original plan should be to mix the fake with the real, and directly use the container with bricks of the same weight to replace the goods.

Because the equipment inside is military equipment, it is impossible to open the box for inspection. According to the information on the bill of lading, these missiles and launchers will be shipped to Los Angeles and then directly shipped to South Korea.

It takes at least three or four weeks for the normal sea transportation from the Port of Los Angeles to South Korea, and according to the usual nature of the military, those boxes may be thrown in the warehouse until they are scrapped and then opened to find that something is wrong.

"So according to your inference, the top management of 'New Era Technology', including the board of directors, may not know about this, and the real troublemaker is actually just the director of a security department?"

At this time, Joey Reacher, who had hurried over after receiving the news, also sat in the conference room. After hearing the whole story, he felt a little incredible.

"It can't be said that they are completely innocent. According to our guess, the batch of missiles is probably just a bunch of good-looking but useless goods." After Jack considered it, he still revealed their findings last night.

"The top management of 'New Age Technology' has created a batch of fake products to deceive people for funding, and the people below don't know where to contact 'AM', an international arms dealer, and intend to make a generous pension by doing the same.

Although we have no actual evidence to show that Congressman Lavoie was involved in this matter, I believe that at this moment he should have received news that his subordinates were visited by two fake FBI agents. I just don't know if DHS is interested in this congressman who may be involved in the case."

Joey looked at his silent brother, and then looked at the young FBI in front of him who had the same name as his brother, rubbing his eyebrows with a headache.

He was originally the director of the Secret Service's Office of Investigation. After cracking a large-scale counterfeit case in Maggrave Town, he was promoted two levels and is now at the level of deputy director.

In addition to being in charge of the original financial crime affairs, because the Secret Service was incorporated into the DHS after 9/11, he also served as a consultant in DHS related to counterterrorism.

In other words, Joey can get involved in any terrorism-related matters within the DHS, as long as they are related to money laundering and various financial instruments.

But now anti-terrorism seems to have become a relatively insignificant part of the whole case. It seems easy for Jack to take down a federal senator, but things involving politics are not simple.

Strictly speaking, the 100 federal senators in Congress and the interest factions they represent are the real masters of this country. If a senator is privately investigated without proper reasons, even if he is discovered, I had to walk around without being able to eat.

"What is the FBI's attitude towards this case?" Although the boy in front of him was his savior, including in the previous New York bombing case, he also saved a whole team of Secret Service agents and the President of Bolivia under their protection.

However, Joey still decided to play it safe. This does not mean that he became an ungrateful political animal after his promotion.

He was also worried that Jack might be too young and have a sudden surge of passion. Coupled with the fearless brother beside him, things would eventually get out of hand.

Because there were two DHS agents present, Jack could only give a vague hint, "My superior, Ms. Moge, has followed this case throughout the entire process. This is her phone number."

After Jack finished speaking, he handed him a business card, but it was not that of Dana Moage, but that of David Rossi.

Joey glanced at it and immediately understood. He put the business card directly into his pocket, nodded slightly and said, "How do you plan to collect evidence? DHS will fully cooperate."

"The 'New Era Technology' factory in Denver will not be touched for the time being. We will only file an ordinary carjacking case and conduct a private investigation on the person in charge of the factory. If the other party can accurately intercept the truck halfway, there must be an insider.

According to a legislative director, these missiles are just hardware and the chips are produced in New York. This may be why the AM went to Denver first and then to New York.

After all, it is a transaction worth up to 65 million, and both parties need certain guarantees. It sounds more reasonable to pay when the missile is delivered first, and the chip is delivered last. "

After speaking, Jack stretched out his hand and said, "As for the senator, give me one of your bugs, and then send a monitoring car to follow us. Rachel and I plan to go for a walk outside."

After hearing this, Joey looked at the two DHS agents, and they immediately left the office knowingly.

"I will contact David Rossi and Ms. Moge. As long as you can obtain tangible evidence, I will be responsible for completing all necessary procedures to legalize it, but the premise is that you cannot let those weapons fall into the hands of terrorists. Even if they are just fake goods.”

"That kind of thing won't happen, because we will kill all Langston's gang." Reacher's murderous words made Joey frown again, and waved his hands to signal his lawless brother to get out of here.

"Swan became the scapegoat, and Clay and Aubrey found his digital signature on the bill of lading found at the scene." Jack said in a casual tone as he looked at the Washington Monument in the distance and the Lincoln Memorial on the west side.

"So it's possible that he's still alive?" Lei Che, who was looking around at the situation, was slightly startled when he heard this.

"I can only say that it is possible. You should have seen a lot of biometric verification devices in the New Era Technology office. His digital signature should not be that easy to forge."

Jack was also observing the surroundings. He was very satisfied with DHS's cooperation this time. He didn't know if it was because of Joey's personal arrangements. The surveillance vehicle dispatched by DHS did not use a box-type vehicle that could be seen through at a glance.

Even he didn't realize that the ice cream truck parked on the roadside had something else going on.

"Although, all of this is inference based on prior evidence, and the possibility of Swann's involvement cannot be completely ruled out. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Jack really didn't know the plot this time, so he gave Rachel a vaccination in advance.

"I said, I will never doubt Swann." Reacher's tone was still firm.

The two had been walking around the National Mall for less than half an hour. They had just walked through the street next to Constitution Park when two black GMC commercial vehicles with government license plates suddenly appeared and parked next to them.

The car door opened, and two men and one woman in black suits stepped out of the car and stood in front of Jack and Reacher.

Reacher scoffed mercilessly, "Let me guess, government license plates, official cars, official uniforms, it took Congressman Lavoie so long to find out who fucked his subordinate last night."

Both men in black suits had a typical military temperament, especially the woman among them. The aura cultivated by giving orders for a long time made Jack have the illusion of seeing a sexual transformation, although the two of them were very different in height and appearance. Far from it.
