Chapter 111: first dreams

Is national security above the truth?

Ah.

This sentence is just a scene.

When Lake was enforcing the law, he often said that I am not at the same level with crime. The quality of this sentence is similar to this sentence.

I'm pursuing a **** national security.

What Lao Tzu pursues is an understanding of ideas.

Who provoke me, who I am.

This is why Lake played two roles, told reporters the news, and made him detonate.

Langley now has only two options.

Be a substitute for death.

Either...

Sold the Aegis.

In addition, even if they wanted to take a third way, Lake would not give them a third way.

Again.

I warned before, if you don’t listen, then don’t blame me for being cruel.

at the moment.

Lake said this not only to remind Rachel that she is now in danger, but also to the little ears of the two FBIs behind.

seeing is believing.

Watching.

Lao Tzu is wholeheartedly thinking about national security. Whoever dares to endanger national security is my enemy.

and so.

Lake took out a pair of handcuffs.

Rachel narrowed her eyes: "This is..."

Lake shrugged: "Ms. Armstrong, do you know where you are now?"

Rachel frowned: "I am not an official."

After this report came out, someone told her early this morning that the Federal Ministry of Justice urgently dispatched a prosecutor, who is going through the process to become a special prosecutor, specifically to conduct a full investigation into the leak of the identity of the agent.

Lake said: "I don't know who the informant who provided you with this information is, but you are in danger. It is estimated that after this meeting is over, federal agents will find you and ask you to go there. So, Otherwise, come with me."

When it comes to leaking the identity of a federal agent, this can be regarded as a type that may endanger national security.

Lake asked Rachel to go back and investigate.

Very reasonable.

To suffer.

The two federal investigators who had been following behind, tapping Rachel's phone, glanced at each other, accelerated their pace, and prepared to ask Rachel to go back and assist in the investigation.

Lake laughed: "I don't believe it, you look back to see if someone from the FBI is here."

Rachel turned and looked.

really.

The two federal agents have shown their credentials: "Rachel Armstrong..."

Rachel quickly turned around, grabbing Lake's handcuffs very skillfully, and handcuffing them to her own hands.

interesting.

Lake raised his eyebrows.

The two agents behind him seemed a little dumbfounded.

Come closer.

"Rachel..."

"and many more."

Lake interrupted directly, showed his homeland security badge, smiled and said: "It's too late, Ms. Rachel Armstrong is suspected of endangering national security. I want to ask her to go back and investigate. You can wait for the next time."

A federal agent said: "Assistant Director Edwin, this is not..."

Lake interrupted again: "It's not in compliance with the rules. Lao Tzu's name appeared in the Sun. It is estimated that it has spread in Washington. Who told her about my involvement in this case? I will investigate it. It is not in compliance with the rules. , Or do you want me to avoid suspicion?"

Another federal agent was cautious: "Avoid suspicion?"

Lake smiled.

This federal agent really dared to follow his words.

Lake looked at the federal agent: "Just joined?"

The federal agent nodded.

Lake shook his head speechlessly, and looked directly at the federal agent who spoke a lot: "Important, let the Attorney General contact us Minister Kelly."

Finished.

Lake looked directly at Rachel next to him: "Let's go, Ms. Armstrong, go to the Homeland Security Building for a cup of coffee?"

after an hour.

Homeland Security Building.

Lake took Rachel Armstrong out of the car, and after showing his credentials, he led Rachel Armstrong directly to an interrogation room.

The interrogation room is no different from other interrogation rooms.

Lake brought in two cups of coffee from the outside, handed it to Rachel, took a sip and said, "The coffee here is terrible to death, forgive me."

Rachel reluctantly smiled and said, "Can I call my lawyer?"

Lake spread his hands: "Of course, in fact, you can leave, but federal agents are probably waiting outside the building."

Rachel: "..."

Lao Tzu finally had the opportunity to experience the ultimate inner ghost scene.

This is what Lake thought in his heart. From the first day he joined the law enforcement bureau, he thought that one day he could investigate himself by himself. This time, he finally got his wish.

"Boom!"

"Come in."

A land agent opened the door and said to Lake, who was sitting on his chair, "Assistant Director Edwin, the Minister wants you to meet him in the office."

Lake nodded, then looked at Rachel on the opposite side: "Look, the attorney general's phone is coming, I can be more comfortable with me, you don't want to go out."

Get up.

Lake said to the land agent: "Obviously, unless she goes out by herself, she will get stuck. Everyone will get stuck on me. If it doesn't work, I will say that the key to the room is broken inside. If someone is investigated by the federal government. People from the bureau will be taken away. I can't help the FBI, but I can fire you."

The land agent opened his mouth.

This...what's up to me.

Minister's Office.

Lake knocked on the door and greeted Minister Kelly: "Good morning, Minister."

Secretary Kelly said angrily: "You are not in New York, why are you running to Washington?"

"On vacation, I took time off. Karen wants me to come back and spend Independence Day together. You can check with Karen. I definitely didn't come here voluntarily. Karen said that I would cut off ties with me if I didn't come back."

"..."

Of course Minister Kelly would not go to Karen for verification, and changed the subject directly: "What's the situation with the female reporter in the interrogation room? Are you crazy, catch her?"

Lake said: “It is suspected of leaking the identity of Langley’s agents and endangering national security. Langley has no domestic law enforcement powers. The FBI’s authority to investigate national security is also under our Department of Homeland Security. In this case, as long as we want it, it’s nothing. We are none other than us, are we not?"

This is all calculated.

otherwise…

Without this function, when Lake was in New York, he would have been mad with the Langley female agent.

Minister Kelly pointed to the phone: "The Attorney General just called me and I hope we will transfer."

Lake shrugged: "If the Secretary feels that this case is endangering national security and our Department of Homeland Security cannot manage it, I can transfer the person to the FBI."

Minister Kelly's face turned black: "Don't provoke me with words."

Lake raised his hand: "Don't dare."

Minister Kelly took a deep breath: "The White Building is very concerned about this matter. The identity of Langley's agent has been leaked. The Department of Justice has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate this matter. I ask you, how long will it take you to get out of the building? The female reporter below knew the name of the leaker."

Lake looked at the time of his watch: "It's 10:40 in the morning, so...in ninety-six hours, how about it?"

Minister Kelly: "..."

In any case, let the bullets fly for a while.

Secretary Kelly blinked and didn't seem to react. When he recovered, his face became darker again: "You have thirty-six hours, and you can't get the name. Give the person to the FBI. Now Langley There is already information over there that you suspected to have revealed it."

Lake said with a serious face: "This is Chi Guoguo's slander. At that time, a total of one copy of the transfer order was made. The one from the Department of Homeland Security was kept in the New York archives, from copying to returning to the archives. The whole process is videotaped, and there are records to check."

Minister Kelly didn't bother to say anything, and waved his hand directly at Lake: "Remember, thirty-six hours."

Lake said, then turned and left.

The corners of the mouth are curved.

Look.

This is the so-called house-breaking effect.

This is what Mr. Lu Xun said. People are very reasonable. For example, if you want to open a window in the room, the owner of the house may not agree, but if you are talking about opening the roof for light, He will agree to your request to open a window.

In the interrogation room.

Lake looked at the land agent who looked like a statue at the door: "How about it, the person is still there."

The land agent nodded: "Her lawyer is in."

With a hum, Lake opened the door and walked in.

Rachel, who was talking with the newspaper lawyer, and his newspaper lawyers raised their heads to look at the incoming Lake.

Lake looked at his watch: "Let's go out in an hour."

Rachel and the newspaper lawyer were stunned: "What?"

Lake shrugged and said: "The Department of Homeland Security accepts this leak that threatens national security. As long as you tell me who the source is, you can leave. I will not trouble you, and the FBI will not trouble you. "

Rachel shook her head and said, "But I don't know who broke the news."

Professor X?

The name is made up. UU reading

Lake laughed and said, "It's okay, I know."

"what?"

"Do not believe?"

Lake put his hands in his pockets with a faint expression: "The Lincoln Memorial is under surveillance, Ms. Armstrong, and the Department of Homeland Security has a handful of lip language experts. It is not difficult to analyze it."

And the clone has also appeared in front of the monitor.

Again.

Lake just wanted to send this report through Rachel, but didn't intend to cheat this reporter. Who knows if Rachel will refuse to name the person who broke the news because of professional ethics.

If asked by the FBI, if Rachel doesn’t say anything, hehe, it’s estimated that Rachel will be detained. In court, if Rachel doesn’t say anything, he will be detained for contempt of court crimes, and come back and forth. Go, detain it for a year and a half, and it's okay.

If it is because of Lake's affairs, what crisis will cause other people's families.

Lake couldn't bear it.

and so.

after an hour.

Rachel and her lawyer left the Homeland Security Building in a daze.

"Take me out of the monitoring of the Lincoln Memorial three days ago. By the way, find a few experts who can read lips."

"Yes."

Lake walked into the combat command center of the headquarters. Just after giving a few words, a man who claimed to be a special prosecutor walked in outside.

Once in the door.

At first glance, Special Attorney Patton, who seemed very conceited, said directly to Lake: "Assistant Director Edwin, where is my person..."

Lake looked at Parton: "People, I haven't caught people yet. When I get them, it's when you, the prosecutor, will be on the scene. Now, let's go cool."

Parton: "..."
