Chapter 1076 Be open and honest?
The U.S. military sealed off the factory where the explosion occurred. Soldiers from the chemical defense force wearing protective clothing came in and out of the explosion site, and even drove away the fire brigade that came to put out the fire.
The faces of the Korean police officers at the scene and those who came over after hearing the news were full of confusion, looking pitiful that they wanted to ask but were afraid to ask.
Compared with the last time he handled a case in South Korea, Jack, who was increasingly involved with the military, acted much more "unscrupulously".
How a phone call could attract 100,000 soldiers was something out of YY's novel, but after he reported the situation to Rossi, a contact number was quickly sent to his mobile phone.
Seeing an explosion on the way here, Jack dialed the number directly and informed him of the explosion at the suspected nerve agent manufacturing site. Less than 20 minutes later, such a scene unfolded before his eyes.
After talking to a colonel for a while, Jack returned to the group with no expression on his face. "The good news is that no trace of leakage of the finished nerve agent was found."
"Let's just tell you the bad news." Ma Xidao already had an ominous premonition.
"The bad news is that a variety of precursor compounds suspected to be VX agents have been found. Fortunately, Zhang Mingjun used explosives instead of filling them with gasoline and setting them on fire. Many containers and used devices were only damaged by the explosion. That’s all.”
Jiang Zhentai's expression suddenly changed, and he was running around in circles anxiously, "What should we do? How powerful is this nerve agent like VX? Should I inform my family to move to the countryside first?"
Jack opened the door of the Saab bus, took out a few boxes of first-aid medicines and gave them to him, and told him how to use them, which was to reassure him first.
"The FBI has sent a chemical weapons expert who will be here early tomorrow morning. He will analyze the situation based on the scene and then tell us how long it will take for the other party to master a weapons-grade nerve agent that can be used.
Thinking on the bright side, since it is confirmed that this is the place used by Zhang Mingjun and others to make chemical weapons, the other party has now been forced to move.
Rebuilding a professional chemistry laboratory is not something that can be done in a short time. We should still have time. "
Nerve agents such as VX are indeed very scary, but they are not without their "advantages".
Compared with chlorine, phosgene, and meson gas, VX poison usually does not leave any sequelae as long as it can be treated appropriately and promptly, at least physiologically, it is either dead or alive, simple and clear.
Of course, this kind of words is a bit too devilish and not suitable to be used to comfort people. Fortunately, besides Jack, there is a more generous person present.
"Since we don't have to worry about danger for the time being, why don't we all go eat barbecue and have a drink together to explain everything that needs to be said." Ma Xidao patted his general's belly and made a timely suggestion.
The hot pot they had in the evening was only half eaten before it was interrupted. After arriving at Yongin City, they have been busy at the explosion site until now, and it will be almost dawn in two hours.
Although the topic was about the chemical weapons crisis at the last moment, it turned directly to eating barbecue, which felt a bit outrageous, but almost everyone couldn't help but feel hungry when they heard the word barbecue.
Besides, there were too many people at the scene, and it was not a place for talking. Except for Ma Xidao and Jiang Zhentai, Jack had not disclosed to the South Korean side any plans about the possible presence of nerve agents.
I don't know if it was arranged secretly, but Jack's car happened to be changed from a four-seater sedan to a full-size SUV, which could not fit in even many people.
An hour later, a group of five people appeared in front of an outdoor table at a food stall barbecue restaurant in Jiangnan District.
The tender pork belly was sizzling on the iron plate. Jiang Zhentai opened the Yanghe wine that Jack took from the trunk, poured it for several people, and then sighed.
"Hey, I've never drunk such good Chinese liquor in my life. Let's have a glass of it first."
Everyone, including Anna, who had been silent, picked up their glasses and drank in one gulp.
"Zhe Ling, listen carefully." Jiang Zhentai put the empty wine glass on the table. He realized that his voice was a little high, so he quickly lowered his voice.
Fortunately, there was no one around at this hour. After serving the food, the boss hid back in the restaurant and continued to doze off, so he didn't have to worry about being overheard.
The open outdoors is sometimes much safer than the closed indoors. Even a few words will be covered up by the noise from the restaurant's smoke machine and the cars on the opposite viaduct.
"Everyone is gathered together now for one thing, to prevent an emergency. Is there no problem with this?"
Lin Zheling put down the empty wine glass and raised his hand to stop what Jiang Zhentai was going to say next, "Brother, I know what you mean. Be honest, right? But before that, can you please explain to the dishonest FBI opposite me first? purpose of coming.”
Although Jack never expected this guy to trust him, he still felt a little angry about his attitude.
"So many innocent people lost their lives, and you were still upset because I pretended not to understand you?
The injury on my friend's foot has not healed yet. Why do you think I am here? Are you here to travel? "
Jack's words were not about inciting an accusation, but the other party's reaction made him very satisfied.
After a long time, Lin Zheling took out a photo from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"What is this?" Jiang Zhentai took the photo and found that it was actually a photo of Lin Zheling and Zhang Mingjun in uniform. The photo was slightly yellowed and it must have been old.
"He used to be my side-by-side friend, but not anymore."
Lin Zheling explained to Jiang Zhentai, and then looked at Jack, "Although Zhang Mingjun is a damn bastard, he does come from our country. I am very sorry for those innocent victims."
Jack waved his hand impatiently, "Tell me what we know. I've already guessed his true identity."
"Then you should also know that he was completely out of control more than three years ago." Lin Zheling hesitated again and again, and finally spoke.
Jack sneered, with a half-smile expression on his face. Seeing that his attitude was quite sincere, it would be okay not to mention some of the vague past.
Although Lin Zheling skipped or blurred most of the details for well-known reasons, everyone can basically confirm that Zhang Mingjun had a blood feud with someone who participated in this meeting.
And this important official was also the one who assigned Lin Zheling this task.
