Chapter 545 By the Hudson River

Although Jack comforted Cassel with confidence, when it came time to plan the specific actions, he was the most nervous one.

His previous protagonist's halo theory was just talk. This is a real world after all, and previous experiences have repeatedly proven that there is no plot line that cannot be changed.

According to his memory, the character Alexis in "The Secret Detective" was peaceful and happy until the end of the play, but the current plot was obviously messed up, and it was obviously him who was fluttering his wings. Butterfly.

According to the assessment of analysts at the operations center, the possibility of Alexis being in danger during the operation was extremely low, even lower than the risk of paying a ransom in a kidnapping case.

Jack also repeatedly deduced the behavior of the "Greenbird" from the perspective of psychological profiling.

Whether it is from the point of view of him hiding behind the Internet to manipulate those underage girls, or from the scheming point of setting up small mechanisms on the spray cans to kill people and silence them, this guy is more inclined to use conspiracy rather than conspiracy in terms of behavior. violent means.

However, Jack still went to the riverside guardrail of Lighthouse Park in casual clothes, confirmed the nearby terrain, and checked the daily flow of people in the park in recent weeks, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, the Shagas father and daughter were sent to a safe house by several FBI agents. They were prohibited from having any contact with the outside world until the end of the entire case. Jack specially arranged for two female agents to follow them 24 hours a day. Be there for Tara.

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, a lot of bullshit plots happen in unexpected places like this. How can a character who is obviously an ordinary person be able to get rid of professional agents, enter a safe house, and still use the phone to communicate with the outside world? Even Post to Moments to reveal your location.

If accidents still occurred under such meticulous arrangements, he could only admit defeat.

The operations leader of the FBI-SWAT team was caught by Jack and studied the map over and over again. From the position where Alexis was standing, the distance between the nearest civilian team members who could provide cover, and even the strength of the railings by the river, Harder A speedboat disguised as a yacht on the Xun River.

After formulating N sets of preparation plans, the dark sky turned white. Cassell watched the scene all night long with a cup of coffee, his expression gradually changing from tense to relaxed.

"Alexis is the smartest girl in the world. She will not put herself in danger by making arbitrary decisions. These arrangements should be enough."

Jack glanced at him sideways and said in his heart that your daughter is indeed much more reliable than you. If he didn't know how unreliable a father you are, you would follow someone through life and death just for the sake of a beautiful female police detective. He would also We won't try to connect the father and daughter with the FBI.

Now that the Cassells are good citizens who actively cooperate with the FBI and are well-known writers, in the future when this guy gets involved in the unsolved case involving Beckett's mother and gets into big trouble, he can naturally help him. .

He vaguely remembered that the big boss behind him was a congressman or something like that. Although Beckett got the evidence in the end, he had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his family and friends.

Early the next morning, everyone started to prepare. The temperature in New York was not very high now. Hannah found a small body armor for Alexis to wear next to her body, and put on a jacket outside. It won't appear abrupt.

Jubal brought several jewelry boxes containing hidden bugs disguised as different styles of earrings for her to choose from.

"You can look around, but don't stay in one place for too long, especially where the plainclothes agents are. Hannah will pretend to be a passerby exercising, just behind the big tree closest to you, in that From a distance, she can shoot down a dove in flight with her rapid-fire draw."

Jack told the girl sternly, "At that time, all tourists and ordinary people around you will be our people, and there will be a total of 20 plainclothes people guarding you.

In addition, besides me, there will be two snipers lurking in the distance, so as long as you don't be nervous and let the other party notice anything unusual, there won't be any danger.

Also, remember not to reach out and take anything the other person offers you. "

Alexis tilted her head and showed a sweet smile, "Normally I should be a little nervous. After all, I am a minor planning to run away from home."

"Smart girl." Dana Moger seemed to like this clever little girl very much, and hugged her shoulders to encourage her.

"From now on, you are Tara. You have read all her information and know what happened to her. You performed very well yesterday. I believe there will be no problems today."

Before 10 o'clock in the morning, the group moved to the administrator's cabin in the lighthouse park. The logistics department had arranged it overnight, disguised as maintenance workers, and turned the place into a temporary surveillance point.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, no one in uniform has appeared near the riverside guardrail since last night, and all concealed surveillance cameras have been installed in the distance.

In addition to this temporary surveillance point, live footage is also being played simultaneously on the large screen in the combat center.

Jubal once again went on a field trip. At this time, he was sitting at a temporary surveillance point and was responsible for on-site command. The combat center was temporarily handed over to Dana Moger.

At 11:30, everyone was in place. Several female agents in casual clothes carried picnic baskets and spread plastic sheets on the lawn not far from the river guardrail, pretending to be picnic tourists.

Today's weather is as sunny as the forecast. The sun shines through the leaves. There are several children blowing soap bubbles around the big tree, screaming and chasing each other.

"Are those also your plainclothes agents?" Cassel asked in disbelief, pointing at the children who were only seven or eight years old.

This guy didn't want to stay in the hut and watch his daughter take risks through the monitor, so Jack arranged for him to be his observer. Anyway, he was used to playing sniper alone. With the system cheating, it didn't matter whether he had an observer or not.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual about the surrounding situation, Jack set up the Remington 700PSS sniper rifle. He was speechless at this stupid statement and explained in a low voice.

"We can't drive all ordinary people away from this area. That would easily arouse suspicion. No one can guarantee whether there are any hidden spies inside."

"Oh." Cassell, who was lying on the roof of the building, continued to look around with the telescope. Just as he was about to continue asking something, Jack had already turned his head and whispered into the headset.

"Charlie 2, get ready, let the chickens come out of the cage."

"The base received it, the chickens are out of the cage." Jubal's voice came from the channel.

Soon, Alexis, with her hands in her pockets, walked along the promenade by the river, stopped near the railing, looked around, took out her phone and checked the time, then lowered her hair. He stood up and pretended to be waiting for someone.

Time passed bit by bit, and seeing that it was past 12 o'clock, Cassel became a little anxious, "How long do we have to wait?"

"Wait until the other party finds her." Jack said in a calm voice.

Hannah, who was wearing sportswear and had been jogging along the riverside promenade, stopped and pretended to be tired and rested behind a big tree closest to Alexis.

"A suspicious target was found, female, wearing a headscarf and a black top, 50 yards away, approaching from the south."

Jack moved the scope slightly and quickly discovered the suspicious target indicated by Hannah. Their location was on top of a bell tower more than 300 yards away from the railings by the river. The location was very hidden and the observation angle was also very good.

Cassel, who was observing with a telescope next to him, wondered, "I thought the guy named 'Greenbird' would be a man."

"Who knows, maybe this fake identity is more fake than we thought, or maybe she was just sent by 'Greenbird'. According to that guy's behavior, the latter is obviously more likely."

After Jack finished speaking, he closed his mouth and put the woman's head firmly into the cross ring of the scope. It didn't matter what other people thought. In his opinion, Alexis' safety was the most important.

As long as this suspicious target shows any dangerous behavior, he will not hesitate to pull the trigger.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Hannah was doing stretching exercises with her back against a big tree. She lacked an observation angle, but a group of agents using high-power surveillance cameras was hidden in the building on the other side of the Hudson River.

The distance between them was more than 2,000 yards, but the viewing angle was so good that they could just see the woman's face, and her expressions were clearly visible.

"Confirm the target." The detective reported that the woman wearing a plain headscarf walked straight towards Alexis, holding a photo in her hand, and after confirming it with her palm-sized face, she revealed a smile.

"Tara?"

"Ah, it's me." Alexis nodded and subconsciously smoothed her hair that was messed up by the wind with her hands.

"For safety reasons, 'Greenbird' can't come in person, but he was touched by your piety." The Baotou woman's voice came clearly into the communication channel through the two small earrings worn on Alexis's earlobes. middle.

"Hold still, don't rush to take action, let's see what she plans to ask Tara to do." Jubal ordered.
