Chapter 1013 Gaia Hypothesis
Jack's conspicuous mammoth became the best disguise in such a tourist attraction. Everyone was wearing slutty floral shirts and beach shorts, looking like bored rich people who came to the beach to catch girls.
"What is the standard procedure?" Danny looked at the RV where the suspect was not far away through the car window and asked in confusion.
Jack recalled the training he had received at the FBI, "We are now unable to determine whether the other party has acquired the virus, so the standard procedure should be to wait for the tourists to disperse after the sun goes down, seal off the surrounding area, and then dispatch a professional hazardous materials handling team."
"Sounds good, let professionals handle professional matters." Danny shrugged.
"But the problem is that waiting is also a risk. These guys are the ones who slipped through the net and are very sensitive to begin with.
If they notice anything wrong at all, or if they see people wearing chemical protective suits, they will definitely take out their weapons and resist immediately. I have no doubt that their arsenal is in that RV. "
Karen said this, obviously preferring a quick resolution.
Hanna's cell phone beeped. He opened it and frowned, "The headquarters just sent news. They found that as early as four weeks ago, Gabriel Martial went to a certain house in Honolulu. US$200,000 was transferred to the bank account.
This confirms that 'ELE' was trying to obtain the smallpox virus from Broadman through the intermediary Dr. Rachel Horton, and they probably already obtained it. "
"It is also dangerous to try to subdue them quietly now. If the virus is hidden in the car, as long as one of them is decisive enough, even if it is the simplest way of detonating the virus with explosives, the surrounding tourists will suffer."
At the same time, Cheng Hao was also observing the surrounding situation and expressed his concerns.
At this moment, the sound of a rumbling diesel engine reached Jack's ears. He looked ahead through the windshield and saw a large forklift working not far away.
Even a natural beach needs to be maintained from time to time if there are too many tourists. While cleaning up the garbage, clean fine sand is transported from other places to cover it. This forklift is busy in front of a large pile of fine sand.
"I think maybe we don't need to subdue them quietly. It might be more effective to make a big noise."
Everyone followed his gaze and couldn't help but understand, and smiled one after another.
——
People visiting Torrance Beach today witnessed a strange and rare law enforcement operation. A large forklift spewing black smoke rushed at full power to an RV parked near the beach and easily overturned it. Everything is turned upside down.
Before anyone nearby could react, several federal agents in plainclothes drew their pistols and swarmed in, taking control of everyone inside and outside the RV.
Immediately afterwards, the state police vehicles on standby roared in and quickly set up a cordon to isolate the crowd who wanted to watch the excitement.
The entire operation lasted less than five minutes, and the subsequent search operation lasted nearly two hours.
The hazardous material disposal team literally turned the entire RV upside down, but found nothing except a pile of firearms and household garbage.
——
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Ah! Falk! You federal lackeys!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Stop! Stop fighting! Farke!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"What do you want to know? Ask me!"
Listening to the collision of fists and flesh, and the subsequent screams, Danny couldn't help but asked Jack in shock, "Is it really legal for them to do this?"
"What are you thinking? Of course it's not legal, but who would know? Just now, hundreds of people saw the suspect's RV being overturned. It's reasonable to break two bones, right?"
Jack was looking up information on the computer. When he heard this, he replied without raising his head, "Besides, the military has its own prison. If you send him in for two months, any injuries will be cured."
"Do you think it's possible for us to convince the governor to have a dedicated prison for Five-O in Hawaii?"
Danny's whims aroused not contempt, but Cheng Hao's thoughtfulness, "The governor is unlikely to agree, but we might be able to let Steve find a remote small room in a military facility on another island. ”
He knew that the "Five-O" gang was indeed quite "wild" on Hawaii Island, but when he heard the conversation between the two, Jack was secretly stunned. He didn't expect that they were even more "wild" than he thought.
NCIS can play this way because they are affiliated with the military and just use the name of a federal agent. "Five-O" probably simply means that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
Not long after, the door opened, and Hanna walked out, rubbing his wrists, with a bit of murderous look on his face.
"Gabriel Martial said he didn't get the virus from Dr. Rachel Horton. They agreed to deliver it tomorrow night. We might still have a chance."
"I don't think so." Jack, who had been sitting in front of the computer, turned the screen to everyone, "Rachel Horton booked a flight to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, tomorrow afternoon."
"You mean, Rachel Holden didn't intend to hand over the virus to the 'ELE' militia organization at all?" Danny was confused, "What exactly did she want to do?"
“Defrauded the militia organization of an advance payment of US$200,000 and paid it directly to Broadman, then paid the remaining US$300,000 balance, and then prepared to flee abroad with the virus?
To be honest, I don't quite understand what this doctor is doing. What exactly does she want to do? Change her job to become an international arms dealer selling biological weapons? "
"She can't run away with the virus. The Los Angeles airport has strengthened security checks." Hannah said with certainty.
Jack was about to say something when Karen walked in. "Dix and Bly just searched Rachel Horton's office at the Malibu Cancer Research Center. The research center said she was on vacation, but the office was empty.
And we investigated her financial situation and found that she hadn't used her credit card for several weeks, and the properties under her name had been resold, and even her car had been sold, which means she was either planning to hide or leave the country. "
Hannah pulled him in front of Jack's computer screen and said in a deep voice, "Whatever she wants to do with the virus, we only have 24 hours left, and she will definitely complete it before leaving the country. "
When the conference room fell silent, Jack coughed lightly, closed the current page on his computer, and called up several websites related to scientific magazines.
"Karen reminded me before that I could profile Dr. Horton, so I have been looking for her articles on various related websites. From the uncomfortable views she recently published, I think I may know what she wants to do. "
Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him, Jack kept it a secret, "Have you heard of the Gaia hypothesis?"
