【500】A game(1/2)
"Li, what happened?" Retia was sleepy and woke up by the movement of Li Qin's rise.
Li Qin did not dare to neglect her, so he covered the phone and said to her: "It's nothing, Smith's phone number, I might have to go out, you can stay with Hawley at home."
Immediately afterwards, Li Qin quickly dressed in neatly, took a simple mouthwash and left the room.
He held up his phone again when he went downstairs: "Adrian, if this is the manifestation of our friendship, I'm disappointed."
Adrian smiled bitterly: "I swear, it's really a trivial matter, but it's really inconvenient to say on the phone. If it's a surprise investigation, you should understand that I won't make this call."
The prefecture has not been in trouble for a long time.
FBI took the lead. If Aiken's previous demonstrations were regarded as smoke bombs, the signal released by this situation would not be so wonderful.
But after hearing this, Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief, his pace of going downstairs slowed down, and gradually calmed down...
The federal senior officials have set the tone, so how dare the state government do whatever it takes?
Moreover, FBI and the State Administration are two systems.
"I understand." Li Qin did not continue to ask, because Adrian would not disclose more. Calling himself in advance to inform him was already the limit of the case handling rules.
In other words.
Adrian is also making his position.
He could have made a sudden attack without saying a word, but in the end he reported it.
After hanging up the phone, Li Qin also walked to the first floor. Only then did he realize that the sky outside was still gray and not bright.
Dial the number again and call Smith.
After a few busy sounds, Smith's voice came: "What's wrong?"
It was obviously not good to receive a call from Li Qin at this o'clock.
Li Qin said: "Adrian just contacted me, and FBI was about to investigate you, but he didn't tell me the specific situation, just said to go through a procedure...where are you?"
On the other end of the phone, Smith's gasp was faintly heard.
It feels bad to be targeted by FBI, especially Smith himself is not clean.
But after pondering for two seconds, Smith calmly said, "Since he contacted you in advance, there will be no problem."
"I'm going to go over and see the situation." Li Qin said.
Smith thought for a while and said, "I'm waiting for them to come at home, but if you want to come over... contact Isaac and ask him to bring someone with you, just in case."
If it is to lead the snake out of the hole, Li Qin will fall into the trap.
Of course, this is just a guess and the probability of occurrence is very small.
But as Smith said, handle everything with caution.
End the conversation with Smith.
Gadru could always hear any movement in the manor. He walked out at some point and deliberately made footsteps, not wanting Li Qin to be scared suddenly. When Li Qin put away the phone, Gadru, wearing a nightgown, hurriedly walked up to him: "Sir, what happened? Do I need me to do?"
Li Qin said: "Help me make a cup of tea and deliver it. I'm waiting for the helicopter and I'm going to the city."
Gadru didn't ask much and went to prepare immediately.
While waiting, Li Qin first called Su and asked her to pick her up. Then he dialed Isaac's number to explain the situation.
Isaac can be regarded as his own person.
At least when FBI blocked the hotel, he successfully blocked the excessive actions of those federal agents.
Isaac was also shocked when he heard that Smith was investigated, but his final reaction was the same as Smith: "Lee, it should not be a big deal. Although I don't know what you and Smith did together, the new FBI director will not behave excessively since he is willing to take the initiative to inform him. You are now an important figure in Eugene..."
Afterwards, he said he would wait for Li Qin to arrive at the hotel entrance.
Gadru sent black tea, and the tea soup was very light. For this reason, he also explained: "It's too early. If you drink too much strong tea, you will feel uncomfortable."
Li Qin was quite serious at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this...
The British housekeeper also knows how to drink tea thoroughly?
Su arrived soon in the plane and deliberately stopped the plane a little further so as not to disturb the person who was still resting.
Li Qin boarded the plane and sat in the passenger seat. Su Jinshen said, "Boss, what happened again?"
Everyone's reaction was consistent.
He suddenly rushed to the city early in the morning. This was not Li's style, and he was alone.
Su is Smith's successor, and Li Qin has no need to hide it. He follows the situation and has also obtained her analysis.
Same as Smith and Isaac.
FBI will not do anything extravagantly, and Li Qin's current identity cannot be moved at will. You should know one thing...
Retia has taken power on the reservation. With her current popularity in the whole country, once a group incident occurs, countless media will flock to it.
Will those elders take the opportunity to make trouble?
Once you are bitten by a snake for ten years, you are afraid of the rope.
What's more, everyone's interests have been tied together, and the Presbyterian Church needs Rethia's fame and the hidden strength of Lee to protect them.
If you are not careful in making an open integration decision, you will be ashamed of the ancestors of the Indians.
The plane landed on the hotel apron.
Isaac had been waiting for a long time when he took the elevator to the first floor.
The two sides did not exchange too much greetings and rushed to Smith's residence.
Green Lawn Community.
FBI's vehicles filled the road outside Smith's residence.
Ellie and Xiao Moli were still crying under the comfort of the female agent. They were obviously frightened and didn't know what was going on.
Seeing Li Qin and Isaac arrive, Ellie hugged Xiao Moli and ran quickly: "Li, what happened? Why did FBI break into our home?"
The female agent also explained: "Madam, we were invited to investigate after Sheriff Smith confirmed, so don't talk nonsense."
Li Qin took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, leave it to me to deal with it."
Inside the door.
Adrian probably heard the news and came out, and just nodded to Li Qin in front of his subordinates, but when he and Li Qin walked into the room, he showed a bitter expression: "It is not convenient to say on the phone, because things involve Hei Sorkin."
Black Sorkin?
Li Qin frowned: "Isn't this matter over? I remember you told me on the phone last time that FBI headquarters decided to erase the relevant files, and Aiken also promised me."
Adrian said: "Yes, we won't continue to investigate, but it must be confirmed that there is no 'remaining' in Smith's hands, which involves social security issues."
Hearing the reply, Li Qin completely relaxed: "It's just that?"
"I swear, it's just that," Adrian affirmed. "This is also the first job that the Eugene office has established."
"Where is Smith?"
As soon as Li Qin finished speaking, Smith had already walked out of the bedroom and said calmly: "A false alarm."
Li Qin said to Adrian with some dissatisfaction: "Then why can't you tell us in advance? You aren't afraid that there are really black Sorkin's residue, are you?"
Adrian took a deep breath, and the information he gave made Li Qin and Smith look at the same time. He whispered: "I am in charge of the work of the Eugene office, but the news caused by the reservation incident still made some senior executives at the headquarters dissatisfied. Some hidden lines must have been ambushed in. I have to act. Of course, give me some time and I will find these people as soon as possible."
In response, Li Qin and Smith looked at each other.
Smith has already taken measures to deal with the arrival of FBI, but unexpectedly, FBI has two parts: light and dark.
Adrian is no longer easy to deal with in the open, and his position may change at any time, and people in the dark are even more inaccurate in their movements and plans. This is another problem for Smith.
Even if Aiken promises, no one will monitor it.
But Adrian is under surveillance. Can Li Qin believe these nonsense?
At this time, the room was already in a mess, and Li Qin said angrily: "The investigation is almost done now, right? When will it end?"
Adrian said: "Okay, give me another ten minutes and we will conquer the team..."
But at this moment, Smith said: "Don't you check other places? The office of the rural and pastoral police station, and... you should know that the manufacturing of blasting objects is not something I can do."
As soon as these words came out.
Li Qin and Adrian were both confused.
When Hessorkin got it, he had to adjust the appropriateness and timer. Smith himself did not have the relevant skills, so he finally found one of his old friends, "Manan".
Now these words are like self-destruction.
Li Qin couldn't understand, and Adrian was also stunned.
Smith continued to say calmly: "It's better to find out once. If there is another similar incident in the future, I don't want to be the target of being suspected."
Adrian was overwhelmed: "You mean, can you provide clues to the transformation of Hessorkin?"
Smith nodded: "Of course, but he has left after that incident. If you want to go to the on-site investigation, I can lead the way."
Adrian couldn't make up his mind and had no idea what Smith was doing.
To be continued...
