Chapter 900 Identity of the kidnapper

An hour later, inside the Federal Building.

Not long ago, Cassel had been in this conference room talking to the two heartbroken parents. Now the positions were reversed, and he and Beckett were sitting on the other side.

Jack's eyes swept over the faces of the four people in front of him, Cassel and Beckett, Brian and his ex-wife. Although he had tried very hard to maintain his expression, to be honest, he was no less panicked than them. .

Making friends with the protagonists from different American TV series and bringing them all together to eat, drink and socialize is his little vice, just like every boy likes to collect those beautiful Ultraman cards in his childhood.

But this unexpected unfolding in front of him was something he didn't want to see.

Although Jack couldn't remember whether Alexis was kidnapped in "The Book of Secrets", he couldn't bear to think about what Brian and his daughter saw, heard and experienced personally in the "Taken" series. My scalp is numb.

Human trafficking, drug injection, and forced selling of silver. Although Kim had the luck of the protagonist and was not harmed, it is neither Paris, France nor Istanbul, Turkey. Who knows how the plot will be interpreted.

"Since all of you here are Jack's friends, I won't say some official words." Jubal glanced at Jack, put a document on the table, and got straight to the point.

"This is the latest development. We have retrieved all the surveillance videos from the Beaumont Hotel and found a suspicious person, and the facial recognition system identified him.

Roger Hansen, a mid-level drug dealer from Queens who we believe was hired to carry out the kidnapping, drugged the three girls' drinks and took them out the back door of the hotel with his accomplices they.

At present, NYPD Director Regan has ordered the NYPD to fully cooperate and is cooperating with our wanted criminal team to search for the whereabouts of Hansen and his accomplices. "

Jack picked up the photo on the table and passed it around to several people. He recognized Roger Hansen at a glance before, it was the blurry face that appeared in the road surveillance before.

At the same time, Jubal continued, "Catching Hansen may be able to solve this kidnapping case, but as an experienced drug dealer, he has many hiding places, which will take some time, but just in case, we Needs some extra arrangements.”

"What extra arrangements?" Cassel asked quickly.

"Monitoring phone calls, all your known contact information, mobile phones, online chat software, email, etc. must be placed under FBI surveillance."

While Jubal was speaking, Jack was looking at Brian. Although he was apparently retired, as a former CIA agent, he was worried that the other party would be somewhat resistant.

"No problem, I only have this mobile phone, and I don't have any public email address." Brian also knew what Jack was worried about, and simply handed over his mobile phone, which was an old-fashioned Nokia, or the old-fashioned LCD with green light. Screen.

In fact, if the kidnapper is really here for money, this is the person who is least likely to contact him. Jack then looked at his ex-wife Lenore, a middle-aged white woman in her 40s who still had charm. She was already crying. Tears.

"Sorry." She hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her bag, "My husband is already on the plane from Los Angeles to New York."

"Does your husband have any enemies overseas?" The kidnapper kidnapped three girls at once, which made Jack somewhat confused as to the motive of the crime.

New York is not Paris, and there is no tradition of wantonly kidnapping and trafficking of beautiful female tourists. Although the United States does have a human trafficking problem, it is usually shipped here and has not yet developed to the extent of self-production and sales.

"Probably not, I don't know." Lenore's eyes were a little blank.

"Stewart used a number of shell companies to do business overseas. His oil business was connected to the Russians, and the economy began to decline in recent years, and it was no longer as good as it seemed on the surface."

Brian apparently researched his ex-wife's current husband carefully.

"How could you?" Lenore stared blankly at her ex-husband, who seemed to have changed. She obviously didn't know Brian's former identity.

"Now that my daughter has to live with him, I definitely have to find out."

After Brian finished speaking, he leaned in front of Jack and stared into his eyes, as if to confirm whether he would lie. "Are you sure that the other party is here for money?"

"Your question happens to be what I want to confirm." Jack tilted his head slightly and motioned for him to follow him. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Cassel and said, "You come too."

After a series of identity verification procedures, Jack took the two of them down in the elevator to the SCIF (Sensitive Information Isolation Facility).

Although Cassel lost his usual escape because of his daughter's kidnapping, he still looked around curiously along the way. It was not until he entered this secret room that was obviously underground that he finally realized something was wrong.

Before he spoke, Jack spoke first, "It has nothing to do with you. I only brought you here because you are Alexis' father and my friend. If you don't want me to use the FBI until I find Alexis, If the official statement is perfunctory, just shut up."

After Cassel found a seat and sat down, Jack looked at Brian seriously, "Let's skip testing each other. I also have friends who work in the CIA, so I know your rules very well.

Therefore, I don’t want to ask about your previous positions or work. I leave everything to you to judge for yourself.

You just need to tell me, in your past career, have there been any enemies or opponents who might do such a thing, and is there any possibility that your identity will be leaked?

Remember, this may be related to the key to whether your daughter and Alexis can be successfully rescued, so answer carefully. "

Brian thought seriously for a long time, and finally shook his head, "Theoretically, I shouldn't have such an opponent. My previous work tends to be preventive. Although I am also a secret action agent, I focus on solving problems in advance.

We do very clean work, you know, that kind of clean in the physical sense. Even if there are opponents, it is a matter of the country and will not involve individuals. "

Jack nodded and expressed his understanding, "We just checked the relationship between the three girls. The reason why they are together is very simple. Alexis and Sarah are netizens, and they are both very interested in scientific research such as climate change.

The reason why Kim and Alexis know each other is because Kim's stepfather Stuart knows Cassel, so Alexis became Kim's playmate after coming to New York, and they made a full week of sightseeing plans.

The lecture at the Beaumont Hotel was just the first stop in their planned tour, and they were going to visit a series of places including the Museum of Natural History and Art in the next few days.
