Chapter 533: Turn over the clouds
There are only a few ways to collect evidence.
Audio recordings, video recordings, and confessions are the most direct evidence, but they are not necessarily useful.
Also, they collect transaction records and traces of online operations.
When dealing with a big shot like Panetta, direct evidence may not be useful, let alone indirect evidence.
Therefore, the most direct way is to catch him in the act, and arrest him directly with a group of people. This is the most effective way.
Breeze had done a great job, but his only omission was that he did not expect Lana to choose to turn to the light so quickly and directly.
But maybe Weifeng has already taken these factors into consideration, and everything may be part of his plan.
Just wait and see how Breeze can get Panetta’s evidence.
"The CIA's management operating system has loopholes. The CIA's internal personnel information system has always had loopholes, or a backdoor. Mason has always had the key to enter the backdoor, and before he committed suicide, he gave the key to Breeze."
Lana sighed softly, and then she continued in a low voice: "Mason knew that he was finished, and he gave all his inheritance to Breeze. The reason why I know this is because Mason also told me the news, and he asked me to continue to obey Breeze's command, that's it."
Gao Yi and Xin Feng looked at each other, and then Gao Yi whispered: "Mason is the deputy director of the CIA. If he has some electronic keys of the CIA, I can understand this, but can he monitor everyone in the entire CIA?"
Xin Feng frowned and said, "Wait a minute, this method has a fatal flaw, that is, the CIA's internal network and external network are physically isolated, unless Mason used his authority to secretly connect the internal network with the outside world, but that's unlikely, the CIA's technical support department can't fail to discover it."
Lana pursed his lips and whispered, "Is there a possibility that Breeze needs to sneak back to the CIA headquarters to operate?"
Gao Yi and Xin Feng were stunned again.
After a moment, Xin Feng whispered, "Fuck! This is really possible."
Gao Yi was puzzled and said, "Even if Breeze sneaked into the CIA headquarters and used the backdoor left by Mason to enter the CIA's internal network, what would he get? Personnel transfer records? Hidden spy lists? Even if he knew these, what would it matter?"
Gao Yi just doesn’t understand. If he doesn’t understand, he doesn’t understand. If he can’t figure it out, he doesn’t understand.
But Xinfeng now had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, as if he had figured it out.
Trade Wind whispered, "We have done a lot of things, but the question is, are we the only ones doing things?"
Xinfeng was reluctant to mention Panetta's name, but when he said that, Gao Yi immediately understood.
Gao Yi and his colleagues did a lot of things for Panetta, and they were very important things. However, after Panetta took power, did he really only do some things for the Garden?
The breeze is aimed at Panetta, not the garden, this must be made clear.
So, if Weifeng knew that Panetta had done something through other means, with the help of other people, or simply did it himself, why would he notify Gao Yi?
We don’t know what Panetta has done, so of course we can’t guess what Breeze is going to do.
Gao Yi looked at Lana and whispered, "You go out... Oh no, you stay here and don't move."
Gao Yi winked at Xinfeng. Lana couldn't be fully trusted yet, so he had to let Xinfeng keep an eye on him.
Gao Yi walked out of the reception room and called Panetta again.
When Panetta answered the phone, Gao Yi whispered, "Weifeng has the backdoor left by Mason, the backdoor of your CIA's internal system. He may have entered the CIA headquarters and accessed the intranet to collect evidence against you."
"Fake!"
Panetta cursed angrily.
Gao Yi whispered, "The question now is, do you have any evidence against him that he can use as a weapon?"
Panetta whispered, "Too many... Many things can only be viewed after you have the authority, such as the spies sent out by Mason and the spies who are on covert missions. I can access the information of these people."
There would be no problem if they just took a look, but the question is what Panetta did with the spies sent by Mason after he took a look.
Logically speaking, the power struggle at the top will not affect the people working below, because there is no need for it.
But Panetta sounded guilty when he said these words, and Gao Yi knew that he must have done something bad.
"So... it's troublesome?"
Panetta exhaled and said, "It's a bit troublesome, but it won't kill me. But the problem now is that none of us knows what Mason left behind, and we don't know what Breeze can get. You said Breeze has already infiltrated the CIA headquarters?"
"It's just a possibility."
Gao Yi recounted everything he and Xinfeng had analyzed and judged, including how he became involved with Plenov and how he discovered Lana. These things were very trivial, and Gao Yi had tried to explain them as concisely and indirectly as possible, but it still took him ten minutes to make them clear.
Panetta is a veteran and he knows what this means.
After listening, Panetta said without hesitation: "What Breeze did was not to divert my attention or to make me focus on Rana, but to induce me to do something. According to normal thinking, I will choose to quietly kill Rana. We don't care about other things. You should act according to the original plan immediately and start searching for Breeze in Los Angeles."
Of course, the intention was not to continue tracking Breeze's whereabouts in Los Angeles, but to make this move to make Breeze think that Panetta had been fooled.
"Okay, I will continue to look for Breeze in Los Angeles. Only when Breeze feels safe can he continue to act at the CIA headquarters." Panetta said calmly: "Everything is speculation now. We have to deal with many possibilities, but I can't conduct any search activities in Langley. It's not good to do it secretly. Breeze may find out."
"What should I do?"
"You come here, I'll go over there!"
Panetta is also a decisive man.
Panetta said, and whispered, "I can't use the CIA's manpower to start looking for Breeze's whereabouts in Langley. He will definitely find out. Once he finds out, Breeze will know that his target has been exposed. So no matter how dangerous it is now, I can't act immediately."
“So you’re coming over here to Los Angeles?”
Panetta exhaled, and said very seriously: "Gao, everything now is just speculation. If we follow the rhythm of the breeze, we will always be passive. Now, I will teach you a very simple way to break the deadlock."
Panetta actually took the initiative to teach Gao Yi how to do things.
Why? The simplest reason is that at this point, Panetta and Gao Yi are finally completely tied together.
Gao Yi cooperated and asked, "How do we break the impasse?"
"First, nail Mason to the pillar of shame! Then label all of Mason's cronies as traitors! No matter whether Breeze can find evidence against me or not, as long as he and Mason are nailed to death first, any evidence he produces will be a slander against me!"
Gao Yi understood, this is what they mean, you fight yours and I fight mine.
Panetta continued: "Breeze did a good job in tactics. He planned a beautiful roundabout tactic, but when he sent the spy in Europe back to the United States as bait, he had already lost strategically!"
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?"
"They are a traitorous interest group! After they knew they were being investigated, they tried to come back and plot to assassinate me. I am the hero who exposed the inside story, and they are a criminal group that makes money by selling intelligence."
What do you call this, confusing right and wrong, or calling a horse a zebra?
It seems like both are true. Whatever Panetta says is right.
Gao Yi whispered: "I understand what you mean."
Panetta said calmly, "Let your FBI friends arrest them and follow the normal procedures. I will handle this as the CIA director. I will take responsibility for the biggest credit crisis in the history of the CIA. I will immediately start to sort out the discipline of the CIA and make public the things that cannot be seen in the light. In this case, I have to thank Breeze for giving me this opportunity, which allows me to publicly strike the remnants of my political enemies."
Gao Yi took a breath and said, "Okay! I understand."
"But Breeze still needs to be caught. We must not keep this man alive, otherwise God knows what else he will do and how much damage he will cause. So I will go over there to take responsibility and attract his attention. I will also bring all my confidants with me to make Breeze feel safe and can do whatever he wants at the CIA headquarters. And you, who has nothing to do with the CIA, go and catch him!"
Gao Yi whispered, "Don't worry about him being alive. Kill him as soon as possible. No matter how difficult it is, he has to be killed. It's troublesome to keep him alive. There is just one thing. How can I enter the CIA headquarters?"
"I'll leave someone to bring you in. I'll leave you an ID card with enough authority. No matter if Breeze is outside or sneaking into the CIA headquarters, find him and kill him!"
Panetta is decisive and ruthless.
No matter how Breeze attacked, Panetta cut off Breeze's retreat with one move.
Now it doesn't matter whether Breeze is dead or alive, whether it can collect evidence of Panetta's crimes or not. In short, when Panetta can make things happen with a wave of his hands, all of Breeze's plans are useless.
Using absolute power to crush Breeze is not an open conspiracy or a conspiracy, but a reality.
Gao Yi whispered, "I have made all the arrangements here and will leave for Langley right away."
"You take action immediately. I will leave for Los Angeles as soon as I receive the news through normal channels."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yi thought for a moment and suddenly said, "This lucky guy."
After muttering to himself, Gao Yi called Martin.
Martin answered the phone and whispered, "How is it, do you need me to do anything?"
"You're a lucky guy."
After sighing, Gao Yi said in a deep voice: "Come to the Beverly Hills Police Department right away. There is a big job for you to do. Then, you must be prepared to bear the pressure. A big case that can overturn the US intelligence system is waiting for you."
Martin suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Okay!"
Gao Yi said softly, "That's why I said you are a lucky guy. Listen, we will talk about the details after we meet. Now you bring your confidants and good friends here to arrest a group of people whose identities are obviously suspicious. Then you do a little research and find that they are all CIA spies. Do you understand what I mean?"
Martin hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Can I ask you about this case...like the Watergate scandal?"
Gao Yi thought about it, and then he said softly: "Yes, it is really like the Watergate incident, but bigger, more serious, and more sensational."
