Chapter 180: Re-enter Quantico

"brother."

"What are you doing."

"Come to the base with me?"

"No."

Lake, who was eating his cup of coffee, waved his hand and said, "I'll go to the Navy Yard first."

Betty curiously asked: "Navy Compound?"

Lake said: "I'm here to assist in the investigation, not to lead the investigation. When there is no task, it doesn't matter to go to Quantico, but if there is a task, it is better to follow others."

Why is the federal military special?

Because there are investigation bureaus outside, and similarly, there are inside the military.

There are CID for army crimes, NCIS for naval cases, the Air Force Special Investigation Bureau, the Coast Guard Investigation Bureau, the Marine Corps Criminal Investigation Command, and the National Defense Criminal Investigation Bureau...

In cases involving the military, outsiders simply cannot intervene.

Especially the case of Quantico.

Lake doesn't want to be registered by the generals of the Pentagon, so it is better to go to Quantico to investigate the nuclear physicist, or to directly drag the NCIS person over.

It's eight o'clock in the morning.

A small red building in the Navy Yard, here is the headquarters of NCIS.

Ding!

The elevator opens the door.

At the office of Jesero Gibbs, Director of the NCIS Investigation Office, Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo was chatting with Geva David’s desk from Mossad, Israel, as usual.

As for the other Tinosi McGee, he once again accepted the test of Anthony Dinozzo's prank at his computer desk.

Lake yelled to Ji Wa who was facing away from him: "J Wa!"

Geva, who was chatting with Anthony, turned back immediately.

Anthony Dinozzo also raised his head in the same way.

Geva saw Lake standing not far away, her eyes lit up, she got up, passed Anthony, and came directly towards Lake.

but……

Not a hug, but an offensive.

Lake looked at Ji Wa's attacking posture, laughed, took off his military cap, turned sideways, blocked Ji Wa's long legs with one hand, and then turned directly behind Ji Wa, with the military cap horizontal. Between Ji Wa's neck: "You are dead again."

Ji Wa and Lake gave a hug.

When Lake was a soldier, one mission was to act with Israeli troops. At that time, Langley's agents were sent from the Federation side, and of course Geva was sent from Israel's side.

In this way, Lake and Geva met. Although the relationship was not very good, it was definitely not bad.

After Ji Wa released Lake, she looked at Lake who was wearing a neat white major military uniform today, and praised: "You look handsome in this suit."

Anthony Dinozzo came over, looked at Lake, and stretched out his hand: "NCIS is a very special senior agent Anthony Dinozzo."

Lake shook hands: "Department of Homeland Security, Assistant Director of Operations, Lake Edwin."

"The Department of Homeland Security?"

"Is there a problem?"

"No."

Anthony said: "I have a friend who is also in the Department of Homeland Security, but I never heard that there are soldiers in the Department of Homeland Security."

McGee, who got out of Anthony's prank, walked over and explained to Anthony who Lake was in front of him, and shook hands with Lake: "It's nice to meet you, Major Edwin."

Lake also shook hands, and then said to Geva, "I'm here to find Gibbs."

Ji Wa pointed upstairs: "I will take you there."

Lake nodded.

Anthony looked at Geva and Lake who left directly, then looked at McGee: "Rookie, who is he."

McGee shook his head speechlessly, with a tone of admiration: "Major Lake Edwin, one of the winners of the Purple Heart."

Anthony suddenly felt violent.

upstairs.

In the office of Jenny Shepar, the head of the NCIS office.

Gibbs is arguing with his old lover and his boss Jenny Shepard: "My case, my rules, I don't need..."

There was a knock on the door.

Gibbs turned to look at Geva who opened the door: "What are you doing?"

Ji Wa just prepared to speak.

Lake appeared behind Geva and looked at Gibbs with a smile on his face: "Gibbs, I hope you are not complaining about my intervention with Director Xuepa."

Gibbs looked at Lake who appeared: "Lake?"

Lake said: "Believe me, I don't want to come, but there is no way. Whoever allows the Department of Homeland Security to be qualified to intervene in this case and to enter the military investigation is the only one, but I assure you that I am I will never rob your case, so I brought a pair of eyes, not even my head."

Gibbs: "..."

If it is said that Lake's ultimate bottom line is that no one will deceive him or use him, then Gibbs's principle is very simple, his case, who robbed who.

and.

Lake and Gibbs have been together for a long time, the earliest, it can be traced back to the desert storm operation that both of them had participated in.

After half an hour.

Lake and Gibbs walked from the second floor and talked down the second floor.

In the office area, McGee directly opened Lake's military file and shared Lake's experience with Dinozzo next to him.

Dinozzo looked at the dense smearing in the public archives of Lake Ke, somewhat surprised: "Jesus Christ, is this guy the second Gibbs?"

Next second.

Dinozzo's heart condensed, looking at McGee and Geva who were silent next to him, he didn't dare to turn his head back: "The boss is behind me, right?"

McGee and Geva nodded without leaving a trace.

Dinozzo immediately became mental defense: "Come on, boss, I'm ready."

The words fall.

Snapped!

Gibbs rewarded Dinozzo with a loving touch, and walked towards his desk expressionlessly: "Bring your equipment."

The three quickly moved towards their desk.

"Boss, is there a case?"

"Quantico, there is no case."

"..."

Lake looked at Dinozzo, who was stunned with his pistol, smiled, and tilted his head and said: "I am not the second Gibbs. At least, I am not very proficient in woodworking."

Dinozzo: "..."

Quantico military base.

After inspection, three cars one after another entered the Quantico base.

Lake got out of the car, wondering if it was his own illusion, even if he followed Gibbs and the others this time, he still vaguely felt that this base was very unwelcome to him.

Maybe it's an illusion.

Lake didn’t have any plans to show off, just as he had just said to Gibbs, with only eyes and no brains, as long as the Yusuf Ata Mohammed whom Langley suspects had a reasonable reason, Lake Assure that, apart from anything else, he will be immediately ruled out of suspicion.

Quantico’s physics laboratory was established on the Potomac River, near the Quantico military airport.

"brother!"

Betty drove the golf cart at the base from a distance, got out of the car, and smiled at Lake: "Come?"

Lake grumbled.

Betty was a little curious: "Don't you ask me how I knew you were here?"

Lake thought about the scene where he had just presented his ID and smiled: "It is estimated that the moment I first entered the base, everyone in the base already knew that a homeland security investigator was coming."

Betty nodded and stretched out two fingers: "In two minutes, this news has spread throughout the base. Isn't this kind of treatment like this?"

Lake smiled and broke the topic: "I'm here to investigate the case. Why are you here? Go and play."

Betty said, "I came here specifically to tell you that you can't get in right now."

"why?"

"Once the laboratory starts, it is impossible to open the door before it ends."

"……why?"

"..."

Betty sighed: "Big brother, the person you are looking for is the same as my boyfriend. He is an expert in nuclear physics. The degree of danger of this thing, even if it is simple, you are not the only one who studies art. Understandable."

Lake: "..."

Am I being despised?

How about learning art, broaden your horizons, cultivate your sentiment, and the most important point is that art can cultivate sentiment and increase your own emotional intelligence. Although Lake sometimes regrets not studying law or medicine, it is just the regret of having a long life. .

Let me put it this way.

Lake feels that if he studies law or medicine, he can choose his own future path after falling out of love a few times, and take the path of the kidney and the heart instead of the law?

Can?

Artistic ability.

If there is a saying that is not the case, art-study men have a hidden skill that has been spent among thousands of flowers and often walks by the river without wet shoes?

Lake is still very satisfied with his profession soon.

Gibbs over there also got the same news from the guard. Before the experiment on the lab side was over, no one was allowed to enter. If there was a problem, it would be a big problem.

Lake and Gibbs discussed it, and simply waited here. Anyway, after more than an hour, the experiment in there will be over.

Nothing to do.

Lake looked at Betty curiously: "Who suggested this experiment, your boyfriend and the Yusuf Atta Mohamed?"

Betty shook her head: "It should be together, it's been more than a year. He and Dr. Mohammed are the leading researchers of the [Biotechnology Strength Enhancement Project]."

Lake raised his eyebrows.

Biotechnology power enhancement project?

This name...

strange.

Lake asked, "What is this study?"

He just asked casually, and didn't take it too seriously.

After all, the federal military has carried out a lot of various researches. There are so many weird ones. The research on stool bombs is also known as the human biological waste explosives laboratory.

Betty looked at Gibbs and others not far away, and whispered: "Brother, do you remember our dad's dream?"

Lake looked at Betty for a moment.

The dream of General Thaddeus Ross.

Have.

General Rose wants to have another monkey with Karen, but Karen is not interested. After all, for Karen, he has all the children, and Lake and Betty are also older.

So is there any wish?

Have.

During World War II, the perfect soldier was created, that is, the super soldier serum of Captain America Steve Rogers.

……Wait!
