The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

It was a coincidence that early this morning, Clay and Aubrey got two fake certificates from the Denver office and drove to the manufacturing plant of New Era Technology.

It's common for federal agents to impersonate others to conduct investigations, and the FBI itself is even the biggest victim. The most common identity used by those CIA bastards when operating domestically is FBI agents.

But when they arrived and asked, the supervisor on duty gloatedly told them that they were late, and the last batch of 650 "Little Wing" missiles had just been transported away half an hour ago.

Hearing the number 650, Clay and Aubrey felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads. They drove straight after him while notifying Jubal.

Just as Jubal contacted the Denver office and asked for reinforcements, Clay and Aubrey encountered a group of militants on the way.

The other party had killed the container truck driver and escort personnel, and replaced the container trucks on both sides with another identical truck head.

There were seven militants in total, four of whom were equipped with Uzi submachine guns and wearing bulletproof vests. Clay and Aubrey were caught off guard.

Fortunately, although they flew to Denver, they borrowed two assault rifles from the local office before going to the factory just in case. With the help of Aubrey, former Navy SEAL Clay showed his great power and killed five of them.

At that time, they saw two trucks parked on the side of the road. Aubrey, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked Clay to stop the car and planned to get out to inquire about the situation. However, as soon as he opened the door, he was attacked by several armed men who were pretending to be repairing a truck with their backs to them.

Fortunately, this child has always been obedient. Jack has always reminded him not to trust the bulletproof ability of the bulletproof vest too much, and to insert the bulletproof plate when possible.

Several 9mm pistol bullets penetrated the car door and only left a few bruises on his belly. Realizing that something was wrong, Clay shifted into reverse gear and stepped on the accelerator to distance himself from the other party.

But at this time, both front tires of the Subaru they were driving were blown out, and they couldn't get far. Clay made up his mind, parked the car, and under Aubrey's desperate cover, he simply laid down the seat back, climbed into the trunk, took out the assault rifle, and launched a counterattack.

Poor Aubrey, who was shot, thought he was dead at the time. He yelled and emptied his magazine towards the opposite side and lay there waiting to die. After Clay dealt with the enemy and tore open his bulletproof vest to check, he found that he was fine.

When they called Jack, they were still waiting on the roadside for reinforcements from the Denver office. The police helicopter had been dispatched, but there was little hope of finding the stolen container truck immediately.

Denver is the capital of Colorado and a famous industrial city in the Midwestern United States. Its military industry, energy industry and machinery manufacturing industry are extremely developed, and its road network is also extremely dense.

The trucks coming and going on the road here are all large container trucks that look similar. The other side is obviously well prepared. While leaving 5 people to block Clay and Aubrey, the other 2 have already driven away in a large truck with changed carriages.

They had just checked the truck compartment that remained there. The other party's original plan should have been to replace the genuine goods with a container filled with bricks of the same weight.

Because the items inside were military equipment, it was impossible to open the boxes for inspection. According to the information on the cargo manifest, these missiles and launchers would be shipped to Los Angeles and then directly shipped to South Korea.

Normally it would take at least three or four weeks for the goods to reach South Korea by sea from the Port of Los Angeles. Furthermore, according to the military's usual practice, the boxes might remain in the warehouse until they are about to be scrapped, when they are opened and it is discovered that something is wrong.

"So according to your inference, the upper echelons of New Age Technology, including the board of directors, may not be aware of this, and the one who really caused the trouble is actually just the director of a security department?"

At this time, Joey Reacher, who had rushed over after receiving the news, also sat in the conference room. After hearing the whole story, he felt a little unbelievable.

"It can't be said that they are completely innocent. According to our speculation, the batch of missiles is probably just a bunch of useless goods." After Jack considered it for a while, he revealed everything they found last night.

"The top management of 'New Age Technology' created a batch of fake products to deceive people into giving away grants, while the people below somehow contacted 'AM', an international arms broker, and planned to do the same to earn a generous pension.

Although we have no actual evidence to show that Congressman Lavoie was involved in this incident, I believe that he should have received news that his subordinates were visited by two fake FBI agents. I just don’t know if DHS is interested in this congressman who may be involved in the case. "

Joey looked at his silent brother, then looked at the young FBI in front of him who had the same name as his brother, and rubbed his brows with a headache.

He was originally the director of the Secret Service's Investigation Office. After uncovering a large-scale counterfeit money case in the town of Margrave, he was promoted two levels and is now at the level of deputy director.

In addition to being in charge of the original financial crime affairs, because the Secret Service was incorporated into the DHS after 911/, he also served as a consultant in DHS related to counterterrorism.

In other words, Joey can get involved in any terrorism-related matters within DHS, as long as it has something to do with money laundering and various financial instruments.

But now anti-terrorism seems to have become a relatively insignificant part of the whole case. It sounds easy for Jack to say that he has captured a federal senator, but things involving politics are never simple.

Strictly speaking, the 100 federal senators in Congress and the interest groups they represent are the real masters of this country. If a senator is privately investigated without proper reasons, he will be in trouble if he is discovered.

"What is your FBI's attitude towards this case?" Although the guy in front of him was his savior, including in the previous New York bombing case he had saved an entire team of Secret Service agents and the Bolivian President who was protected by them.

However, Joey still decided to play it safe, which doesn't mean that he became an ungrateful political animal after his promotion.

He was also worried that Jack might get too young and too hot-blooded, and with his fearless brother by his side, things might get out of control.

Because there were two DHS agents present, Jack could only give a vague hint, "My superior, Ms. Moger, followed up on this case from beginning to end. Here is her phone number."

After Jack finished speaking, he handed him a business card, but it was not Dana Moger's business card, but David Rossi's.

Joey took a quick glance and immediately understood. He put the business card directly into his pocket and nodded slightly, saying, "How do you plan to collect evidence? DHS will fully cooperate."

"Don't touch the factory of 'New Age Technology' in Denver for now. Just file a case of ordinary carjacking and investigate the person in charge of the factory privately. The other party was able to accurately intercept the truck halfway, so there must be an insider.

According to a legislative director, these missiles are just hardware, and the chips are produced in New York, which may be the reason why 'AM' went to Denver first and then transferred to New York.

After all, it is a deal worth 6500 million, and both parties need some guarantees. It sounds more reasonable to deliver the missiles first and pay when the chips are delivered last."

Jack held out his hand and said, "As for the Senator, give me one of your bugs and send a monitoring car to follow us. Reacher and I are going to take a walk outside."

Upon hearing this, Joey looked at the two DHS agents, and they immediately understood and left the office.

"I will contact David Rossi and Ms. Moge. As long as you can obtain solid evidence, I will be responsible for completing all necessary procedures to make it legal, but the premise is that you cannot let those weapons fall into the hands of terrorists, even if they are just for show."

"That won't happen, because we will kill all of Lanston's gang." Reacher's murderous words made Joey frown again, and he waved his hands repeatedly to signal his lawless brother to get out of here.

"Swan became the scapegoat. Clay and Aubrey found his digital signature on the delivery note found at the scene." Jack spoke in a chatty tone as he looked at the Washington Monument in the distance and the Lincoln Memorial on the west side.

"So he might still be alive?" Lei Che, who was looking around, was slightly startled when he heard this.

"It's only possible. You should have seen a lot of biometric verification devices in the New Era Technology office. His digital signature shouldn't be that easy to forge."

Jack was also observing his surroundings. He was very satisfied with the cooperation of DHS this time. He didn't know if it was because of Joey's personal arrangement, the monitoring vehicle dispatched by DHS was not a box car that could be seen through at a glance.

Even he didn't realize that the ice cream truck parked on the side of the road actually had another secret.

"Although, all of this is based on inferences from prior evidence, and it cannot completely rule out the possibility that Swan was involved. I hope you can be mentally prepared."

Jack really didn't understand the plot this time, so he gave Reacher a heads-up in advance.

"I said, I will never doubt Swan." Reacher's tone was still firm.

The two strolled in the National Mall for less than half an hour. Just as they walked across the street next to Constitution Park, two black GMC commercial vehicles with government license plates suddenly appeared and stopped beside them.

The car door opened, and two people in black suits, a man and a woman, got out of the car and stood in front of Jack and Reacher.

Reacher laughed mercilessly, "Let me guess, government license plates, official cars, official uniforms, it took Congressman Lavoie this long to find out who screwed his subordinate last night."

The two men in black suits both had typical military temperament, especially the female one. The aura she developed from giving orders for a long time made Jack feel as if he saw a gender-changed Reacher, although the two were very different in height and appearance.
