Chapter 932: Fake Names and Strange Numbers

There wasn't much in the folder, so Alice simply brought a Bluetooth printer and started printing.

At the same time, everyone finished their dinner. Jack took out a box, and the others took out their mobile phones, turned them off and put them in the box. This approach of guarding against gentlemen rather than villains meant that it was time to talk about business.

"How's the investigation into the vehicle that's 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 track him but failed. The other party was very experienced and used a fake license plate."

As soon as Jack and Reacher left Franz's house, they found that their car was being followed. It took them 20 minutes to get to Franz's office. Of course, it was because of the traffic jam, but there was also the reason of deliberately delaying time to wait for Aubrey and Clay to arrive and counter-track.

As a result, when the two men entered the office and came out, the black SUV that followed them had disappeared.

Jack consoled them, "This is not your fault. I requested that the police not use our manpower. It is really difficult for you to catch up with the other team in the New York City during the evening rush hour with just one car."

Jubal was a little puzzled. "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 from the inside of the bureau. Did you hear any rumors?"

Jack smiled and shook his head. He couldn't say that he simply thought that the case involving Reacher would definitely not be simple, and there was an FBI mole in Margrave Town last time, so he was just doing this out of caution this time.

He pointed at Lei Che, first introduced his former identity to everyone, and then continued his analysis.

"There was no rumor. It was purely based on intuition. The investigators of the Army's 110th Special Investigation Team are not easy to deal with. So many CIA officers have died when they dared to investigate toilet seats worth $1200 and mugs worth $.

But the team led by Reacher was able to send more than 200 offending army soldiers to prison in three years and finally escape unscathed. Their ability can be imagined. "

"Ahem." Lei Che touched his nose awkwardly, "We were forced to disband."

Jack waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's not important. What's important is that you didn't all 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 over the years. This is enough to prove something.

But in such a dream team, one day someone was murdered to protect a secret, and there was no time to ask for help from others. Is this reasonable? My intuition told me that something was wrong, so I chose to act cautiously.

In this way, even if someone wants to find out, they will only think that this case has been ignored by the NYPD and is being 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 exaggerates, but once he comes up with some amazing ideas, they are always confirmed. The new artificial pond in Central Park is the best proof.

At this time, Hannah picked up the A4 paper that had been printed on the table, frowned and asked, "Who can explain what this series of names means?

Andrew McBride, Alan Mason, Alejandro Mentes, Alexander Markpos."

"A pseudonym," Jack and Reacher said in unison, the latter raising his hand, motioning for him to continue explaining.

"These initials are all AM, which is very convenient for users to sign. No matter which name you use, your signature is always just A followed by a wavy line."

Jack also learned this little-known fact from Emily. When she was working in the multinational task force "JTF-12", the alias abbreviation she used was all AJ.

"OK, then what do these random numbers on the papers mean?" Aubrey flipped through the stack of A4 papers in his hand.

There were only two documents in the USB folder. One had a total of 8 different names written on it, all of which were pseudonyms abbreviated as AM, and the other document had a total of 7 pages, with more than different numbers on each page.

Each group of these numbers is made up of two different ten-digit numbers, one larger at the front and one smaller at the back, such as "15/17" and "13/19", making it impossible to see the pattern at all.

These A4 papers have basically been passed around to everyone, but this time no one could make even a guess.

"It shouldn't be a password." Reacher said in a muffled voice, "Franz used such a rigorous method to preserve this information, there is no reason to encrypt it. 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 was mathematics. If even Aubrey, a guy who had worked on Wall Street, and Alice, a computer expert, who theoretically should be the most proficient in mathematics, couldn't see the pattern among the people present, he didn't plan to waste any more time on it.

"I'll find a friend who is sensitive to numbers and reliable enough to help take a look." He was of course referring to Chris and Reid. If even the two of them couldn't analyze it, then there would be few people in the world who could figure out the meaning of these numbers.

There were limited clues at the moment, and no one planned to waste time, so before long Jack sent everyone back to sleep.

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, it would have happened long ago.

But since the other party was able to track Jack and Reacher, it meant that they must have been lying in ambush near Franz's house. For safety reasons, Jack planned to let Hannah and Jiejie secretly protect the mother and son for a few days, and see if the other party would show up again.

Jubal will take a wanted mission tomorrow and will go to the New York office to check in with Dana Moger, letting insiders know that the wanted criminal team is busy with other tasks recently.

Alice was responsible for checking the traces Franz had left on the Internet in the past, mainly emails and social accounts. Although they did not find his mobile phone or laptop, they could always find some clues if they spent some effort, it all depended on how important they were.

Danny's job is somewhat similar to Jubal's. Although Jack had handed over the case to the NYPD before, it was a verbal handover in Chief 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 spy on him, they will only find a few thin files on his desk, and that's it.

As for Clay and Aubrey, they will naturally serve as backup. Whether it is Jack and Reacher's side or Hannah and Jiejie's side, they must be ready to provide support at any time.
