Chapter 188 Things are getting serious

Now Luke is waiting for Mulder's group to monitor Senator Claire.

And whether the New York police represented by Detective Beckett can find any trace of Neil Mai.

Luke always felt that things couldn't be so simple.

Since the forensic work is no longer needed, Luke has no intention of staying here.

Luke himself has no good feelings towards the CIA.

These guys are the ones the federal government uses to do its dirty work.

And it has deceived countless passionate young people.

After being in there for a long time, I no longer feel like a human being.

If anything goes wrong, you will be abandoned without mercy.

Why do you still need to keep in touch with Supervisor Anthony?

Because Luke felt like he was a determined man.

Even if he doesn't collude with those dirty guys in the CIA, at least he can get away with it safely.

After asking the team to clean up all traces, Luke prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Luke still met Ms. Laswell.

It was mainly about expressing gratitude and leaving each other contact information, but not much else.

We are all smart people. If you help me once, I will help you once too.

This way there won't be too deep a connection.

As long as they follow the rules, Luke won't worry that the CIA will trick him.

Whether in terms of military force or power, Luke is no less capable than those CIA parasites.

After leaving here, Luke arranged for everyone to go to his own hotel.

The top two floors of the Marriott Hotel have four presidential suites.

In one of the rooms, Uncle Chen had arranged for someone to deliver the computer and communication equipment that Luke needed.

This will serve as Luke's temporary command center in New York.

Instead of receiving any news from Inspectors Mulder and Beckett, they received news from the FBI's temporary command center.

Under pressure, the command center rescinded the arrest warrant for Alex and reinstated her to work.

Luke was not surprised to receive this news.

Now that they can't find the murderer, and with the pressure from public opinion, they have to do this.

Alex said to Luke excitedly:

"Great, now I can go back and continue to participate in the investigation."

Luke shook his head.

"No, you can't go back."

"why?"

"The person who framed you will definitely monitor you and look for opportunities. It will be easier for you to find clues only if you stay in the dark like us."

"This way the mastermind won't be able to find you, and he'll start another plan."

"Lilith, check Simon's location." (Simon, the man with glasses, is Luke's classmate at the FBI Academy. For details, please see Chapter 23)

Alex and Shelby both knew that Simon was not involved in the mission.

But no one knew what he was doing specifically.

They also didn't listen to anyone else discussing Simon's specific mission.

Time passed minute by minute.

Lilith is still searching for useful information on the Internet.

Hobbs and Chapman, two big muscular guys, went to the gym.

Cook and Erica were also helping Lilith look up some information on the Internet.

Alex had nothing to do, so he sat and chatted with Shelby.

The two were roommates during their time at the FBI school.

This incident brought the two together again.

They recalled their school days together.

At that time, the two of them were roommates and had a good relationship.

As they were chatting, Shelby suddenly said something.

"I didn't sleep with him."

Alex was confused.

"what?"

Shelby seemed to have made up his mind and said to Alex:

"I didn't sleep with Haas's father. He threatened me with news about my parents."

Shelby started to cry as she spoke.

"I thought my parents died in the plane crash, but that bastard told me they were still alive."

Alex didn't know what to say at this point.

Haas's father was a senior FBI official, serving as assistant director and chief of the New York FBI branch.

Because I was in charge of anti-terrorism affairs, I finally joined the investigation of this incident.

Erica brought back the video and according to her, the FBI also went there.

Haas was also in the temporary command center, responsible for data analysis.

Then he will definitely see this video of Shelby and his father.

Sure enough, Shelby received a call from Haas.

The two first asked, explained, and argued, and finally Alex came forward to help.

But Luke was in no mood for that.

This Shelby, her breasts are not big and her brain is not very good...

Looking at the busy Lilith trio, my own girls are still the best...

In the evening, Luke received news from Mulder's group.

Comprehensive surveillance of Councillor Claire, including those who come into contact with her.

But while MP Clare was speaking in the auditorium, there was a sudden power outage.

The FBI agents responsible for protecting her directly interrupted the speech and evacuated with Congresswoman Claire.

After thinking for a while, Luke asked them to withdraw.

After this unexpected incident, Claire probably doesn't have the mood to run around anymore.

After Mulder returns with Nelson and Tobery, Luke receives a call from Inspector Beckett.

"Luke, this is serious."

"what happened?"

"There was a hidden reason for the power outage during Councillor Clare's speech."

Beckett told Luke what happened during the power outage.

It turns out that the basement of the building where Councillor Clare gave his speech was a physics laboratory.

5 kilograms of enriched uranium 235 were thrown inside.

Luke burst into swearing when he heard this.

"Fuck, this is enough to make a small nuclear bomb."

Beckett also said seriously on the phone that the matter had been reported.

The NYPD is going crazy right now.

Luke rubbed his forehead and thought for a while, then asked Beckett and the New York police to help find the whereabouts of Simon, the man with glasses.

After hanging up the phone, Luke fell into a state of contemplation.

He needs to sort out the current clues of the case and predict what the mastermind behind the case is going to do.

Although Councillor Claire is a suspect, based on her performance, it is very likely that they will be able to cooperate and get what they want.

But her identity was too sensitive, and Luke couldn't touch her in the slightest.

According to the surveillance conducted by Mulder's team, she did not behave in any abnormal manner.

This speech was planned long ago and was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

This suggests that she was unaware of what happened after the power outage.

Because it wouldn't do her any good.

Interrupting her speech would be a bad thing for her and would not be good for her campaign.

Now we have to wait for the next move of the mastermind behind this, and also wait and see what happens with Neil Mai and Simon.

Suddenly, Luke's phone rang.

"Luke, is there any progress on your case?"

It was Doherty's voice.

Luke sighed and said:

"There is a little bit, but not much. It mainly involves Republican congressmen and candidates for the next vice president."

Dougherty was silent for a while and then said:

“Don’t rush, but make sure to get solid evidence.”

After hanging up the phone, Luke sighed.

These politicians are really filthy-hearted. New York may be threatened by a small nuclear bomb, but at this time these people are still thinking about political struggles.

In their view, it doesn’t matter whether the nuclear bomb is exploded in New York or not, as long as they can strike the other party.
