North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 342 The Mysterious NSA
Jimmy came to this building for the first time and had passed by many times before. Seeing this building with no windows at all felt completely out of harmony with the surroundings.The whole building looks more like a fortress. Except for the huge ventilation holes around it, there is no window. It looks rough, powerful and indestructible.

Jimmy had tried to check the information of this building before, but he could only see that it belonged to AT&T company. It was originally used as a telephone junction station. In the early days, calls needed to be manually switched. In order to ensure safety, the entire building was closed. The building has no windows to ensure it remains safe during a hurricane.

Later, the telephone system gradually improved, and the world entered the Internet age. The telephone junction station has withdrawn from the stage of history, and this building has lost its original function. The ownership is still AT&T, but it is rented out. Unfortunately, there is no other information. .

This time Chris brought Jimmy over to let Jimmy know who rented the bunker, the NSA, the US National Security Agency.

Chris took Jimmy into the building through the main entrance. Although there are no windows at all, the brightness inside is very good. Of course, Jimmy has found many things like cameras in the lobby on the first floor, because he just took a quick glance. , so it is difficult to judge for the time being.This is not a place for him to visit casually. If you don't plan to have an accident, it's best to be honest here.

After Chris consulted at the front desk, a person came out from the inside and led them to a small meeting room, which of course was also on the first floor, without entering the core area of ​​the building at all.

After a while, another man in a suit came over, shook hands with Chris, took the phone from Jimmy and left.

After a while, someone actually came to the conference room to receive Chris and Jimmy.

"Hi, I'm Benjamin Patterson." Benjamin came into the conference room, shook hands with Chris and Jimmy, took two bottles of mineral water from the cabinet next to him and handed them to Chris and Jimmy, and then sat across the small table.

"Hi, Chris, this is Jimmy. This is our case." Chris introduced, and then pushed the file on the table over.

Chris: "Jimmy, tell me about the case."

Jimmy: "Okay." Benjamin had already opened the file, and Jimmy started to talk about the case after seeing the photo he took: "This case was initially defined as an accident. He made a mistake while driving away from the 4th floor and fell from the 4th floor to the 3rd floor. As the car overturned, Aishi's neck was twisted, resulting in his death.

However, after we checked the photos at the scene, we found that there was a dent in the rear bumper of Ai Shi's car. At the same time, according to the information provided by NYPD, Ai Shi's belongings did not contain a notepad or the like, so we suspect that Ai Shi may not be Died in an accident, but someone knocked Ash's car down the 4th floor.

I went to the residence where Aishi registered in the system, and saw his girlfriend Ginny in his apartment. Through some means, I got two pieces of information from Ginny. Computers, recording pens, notepads and other things were brought with him, but these things were not found at the scene of Ai Shi's death.

Second, Aishi missed a notepad when he went out this time. We got the notepad. The content recorded on it seems to be an interview record. There are not a few complete sentences, just some note-type information, but in the information Contains a lot of information on fertilizers, special equipment, etc.

Judging from the records in this notebook, Aishi's death was not simple. These materials and equipment can be assembled and deployed to form giant bombs, and it is not even ruled out that they can be used to make special gases in the hands of some people, thereby causing even greater disasters. .

At present, the investigation of the case has just begun, and these are the clues and inferences obtained temporarily. "

After Jimmy finished speaking, Benjamin was still flipping through the follow-up, but his nodding showed that he was listening to Jimmy's description.

Chris added: "Now we really don't have many clues, but the possible inferences of this case are too serious, so I request your assistance to obtain information from investigative reporter Aish's mobile phone and samples of previous call records. "

Benjamin didn't reply, but continued to look through the photos and file descriptions in the file.In just 10 minutes or so, Jimmy felt that time passed very slowly. He turned his head and looked around uncomfortably. There were 3 hidden cameras in the four corners of this conference room, except for the one above the door. It can be said that after entering this building , Jimmy and the others are completely under surveillance.

Jimmy has already spotted a few heavily armed security personnel in the back. He didn't see them when he was outside before. It seems that they are all hidden in order to make the outside look more normal.

Such a powerful security force, such a complete monitoring facility, and the NSA that monitors the world, don't seem to be so unacceptable, after all, that's what they do.

Of course, this also completely defeated Jimmy's attempt to understand them, and he had no chance to leave this small meeting room at all.

Benjamin closed the file, and he looked at Chris: "I probably understand, it is indeed necessary to investigate, I will leave for a while, you wait a moment."

Benjamin left the conference room without taking the files, leaving only Jimmy and Chris in a daze.Jimmy looked at Chris and asked in a low voice, "Who is this person?"

Chris shook his head: "I don't know either, well, don't talk, just wait."

Jimmy shrugged, turned around and sat upright. After waiting for a while, no one came in. He simply moved his chair back, leaned against the back of the chair, raised his legs, swayed the chair, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Jimmy checked the time. It was almost time to get off work, and Benjamin hadn't come back yet.After waiting for another hour in boredom, the door of the meeting room finally opened, and Benjamin brought another person in. The man put a small tray on the meeting room table and left.

Benjamin sat across from Jimmy and the others, and introduced the contents of the tray: "This is your mobile phone. All the information in it has been extracted. It is in the No. 1 storage, and the No. 2 storage is the outgoing and incoming calls of this phone in the last month. You can take the phone records back with you."

Chris stood up, and Jimmy also stood up, "Thank you, Benjamin, for your help. Jimmy, put it away, let's go back."

Chris, Jimmy and Benjamin shook hands, Jimmy put the things on the table into his briefcase, and left the building with Chris, which was completely unexplored.

Walking outside, Jimmy looked back at the entrance. Who is not curious? As the most mysterious intelligence agency in the United States, the NSA is famous. Even the US Department of Homeland Security did not include the NSA when it was established. Coordination, some information intelligence that they specify can be obtained from the NSA.

Chris didn't look back at Jimmy, but said: "Don't look, people here are not easy to deal with, you don't want everything about yourself to be seen by them."

Jimmy took two quick steps, walked side by side with Chris on the sidewalk, and honestly returned to the FBI office in Federation Square.

Jimmy connected the No. 1 memory to a computer that was not connected to the Internet, and opened it to check the contents. It was indeed the same as what Benjamin said. It contained address book, text messages, and call records.In order to ensure safety, Jimmy copied the content inside, stored it on the computer, and then opened the No. 2 memory.

No. 2 is more awesome. It contains voice files one by one. The titles of the files are marked with the other party's phone number and call time. It is so considerate that Jimmy doesn't need to rearrange the time order.

The memory Jimmy provided by the NSA would not dare to use it directly in the computer connected to the FBI network.

Holding the computer, Jimmy returned to his seat. The first thing to do now is not to check the recording, but to check the phone number first.The number of recordings is too large, so it is better to retrieve the information corresponding to the mobile phone number first, so that it is more convenient to obtain the recording information in a targeted manner.

As an independent investigative reporter, Ai Shi's mobile phone address book is really huge. Regardless of whether he really knows so many people, at least he can find so many people from the address book, which is really amazing.Why do you think so?Because Jimmy checked several mobile phone numbers, the people corresponding to the mobile phone numbers did not seem to be passers-by, most of them were journalists, and there were some editor-in-chiefs and the like.Many people at most have a reporter under the TV station or a department that manages paparazzi, and it is very difficult to contact the above directly.

Jimmy turned to look at Chris, "Chris...", huh?What about people?

Jimmy raised his hand and glanced at the time, good guy, it's almost 9 o'clock in the evening, when did you start working overtime?Jimmy shook his head, laughed in a low voice, cleared the table, got up and went home to rest. At this time, he couldn't cook by himself, so it was fine to do something for the rest on the way.

The next day, when Jimmy returned to the office, Chris had already arrived. After Jimmy greeted him, he continued yesterday's investigation.

Chris: "Jimmy, did you find anything?"

Jimmy: "Not yet, I'm checking the people in the address book of Ai Shi's mobile phone." Jimmy lifted the notepad and lit it, and then continued to check the mobile phone number on the computer. Checking all these things is definitely not something that can be done in a short time.

Chris: "Let's pause for a while. Later, Hughes will arrange for people to support, and you will assign them tasks at that time. It will be much faster for everyone to investigate together."

It's okay, it can liberate myself for a while. To be honest, if I have to check all the more than 100 phone numbers in the address book, Jimmy feels that he will die, dazzled to death.

Hughes let himself go completely this time. There were 4 trainee field agents assigned to the Manhattan office and 2 trainee intelligence officers. They all reported to Chris. Chris contacted the administrative department in advance and sent an extra The computer came, but fortunately there was enough space in the office.

Jimmy gathered them in front of his computer, "This time your task is the address book in this computer. There are more than 100 phone numbers here. You can divide them into numbers, conduct investigations based on names and mobile phone numbers, and check everyone's identity. Remember, this computer must never be connected to the Internet, especially not to our internal network.

This is the first step. After confirming the identity of the list, we will analyze these call records separately. At that time, we will need to match the identities of the people you have investigated to find out our final target.Are you clear? "

"Understood." Jimmy gave them this independent laptop, and asked them to extract and investigate by themselves. As for Jimmy, of course, he is now going back to his previous process, those cars with bumpers and front dents .

NYPD has agreed to Chris's request to investigate these vehicles, and it will be a day soon, and it is almost time to report back.

"Jimmy, there are results. The station wagon has been confirmed. It is a set car. The original owner's car did not go out that day at all. It has been in the garage. The road monitoring has confirmed it."

After Chris answered a call, he excitedly said something to Jimmy, then thanked the person on the phone, and hung up the phone.

Jimmy yelled, "Yeah! We found him. Chris, we need support from the dispatch center to monitor the direction of the car's subsequent movement."

Chris: "Okay, you go by yourself, here are a few of them."

Jimmy nodded, picked up his clothes and went out to the dispatch center of NYPD, where the traffic video is the most convenient place.

The investigation process was still very boring, but fortunately, it was finally determined that the car was located in a certain block, and it did not appear after that. In theory, it should be there.

Jimmy contacted Chris, he went directly to Brooklyn, Chris also set off from the office, as a group, they must still need to go together, although Jimmy is used to doing things alone, but now it is a big case, we must make sure that there is no The problem, otherwise, if he is held accountable, the evidence he extracted alone may be considered invalid.

When we came to the block, Jimmy took a look. The car was not parked on both sides of the road, but there was a public parking lot here. Jimmy and Chris came to the parking lot, showed their ID cards and printed screenshots of the video, and asked if there was any correspondence. The car is parked in the parking lot.

It's a pity that the FBI is not omnipotent. The security guard directly said that we work in shifts and I don't know anything.Looking at the little tattoo leaking from the security guard's neck, this buddy is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Jimmy and Chris drove the car directly into the parking lot, and then the two separated and walked around to find the corresponding model. After meeting and summarizing, they found that there were three station wagons of the same model, but these three cars were not the same as before. Discovery deck.

Jimmy: "Chris, could it be that the man changed the original deck before entering the parking lot? The road surveillance can't see outside this parking lot. Maybe he changed the license plate on the side of the road."

Chris scratched the top of his head with his intact right hand: "It's possible, what are you going to do?"

Jimmy: "Squat here for a while? After the owners of these three cars come back, ask them on the spot. This is also our most direct clue."

Chris: "Okay, then I'll go back to the car and have a rest."

Jimmy nodded. He first went to the front of the three vehicles to record the license plate numbers, and then called the bureau to investigate their identities.After getting the information, he came to the intersection next to him, lit a cigarette, and looked around in the parking lot at the same time. If it wasn't for his suit, his actions would always make people look like he was stepping on the spot to steal a car.
