Chapter 535
Chapter 535
The plane landed in Washington.
When Gao Yi arrived, Panetta had just taken off and was rushing to Los Angeles to put out the biggest scandal in the CIA's history.
No one can predict how things will develop next, but what is certain is that Breeze is still alive in a biological sense, but dead in social attributes.
From the moment Panetta took action, Breeze was functionally dead.
What Gao Yi needs to do is to send Wei Feng away completely.
It's like someone stuffed a hammer into your hand, and it feels weird.
Panetta arranged for someone to pick him up at the airport. It was not Jolson, but someone Gao Yi had never met before, but it was definitely Panetta's confidant.
The plane landed, but before Gao Yi and his friends could get off the plane, someone boarded directly via the lowered gangway.
A middle-aged man, wearing a wrinkled suit that looked like he had just taken it out of a box, with fatigue from lack of sleep on his face, and smelling of alcohol and cigarettes. He looked like a frustrated and unemployed middle-aged man, not like a CIA elite, especially not like a director's confidant.
"Hi, good evening, no, good morning, that's the gardener, I've been ordered to pick you up."
A very rare opening statement.
Gao Yi and the others looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Xin Feng.
The decadent man thought Xinfeng was Gao Yi, and he said to Xinfeng: "Are you the gardener? Here is your ID..."
He didn’t even know that the gardener was Gao Yi and that Gao Yi was Chinese. Is this person really Panetta’s confidant?
Gao Yi silently took out his phone and called Panetta.
"I have arrived."
"I'm still on the plane."
"I've seen the person who picked us up, but is he... really okay?"
"No problem. The situation is a bit complicated, but Fisher is the most suitable person. Let him explain the details to you. Is there anything else?"
"Nothing."
Gao Yi hung up the phone, coughed lightly, and said to the decadent middle-aged man in front of him: "What's your name?"
"Fisher."
Gao Yi shrugged and said, "I'm a gardener."
Fisher was holding an ID card. He was stunned for a moment, but then he handed the badge in his hand to Gao Yi.
"This is the pass that outsiders hold to enter the CIA headquarters. It is of a very high level and can basically go anywhere, including elevators, access control, and guards. They will let you in when they see the pass."
There was no headshot photo on the badge, only a temporary pass, but it had Panetta's signature on it.
I don’t know how the CIA did it, but with this card there shouldn’t be any problem.
Gao Yi said to Fisher: "What's wrong with you?"
The question was rather vague, but Fisher said in all seriousness, "I was sleeping. I was a little drunk, and I got a call. The chief asked me to pick you up and take you to Langley. Uh, I've been suspended for about four years and have been under investigation seven times. Basically, if I don't handle this, I'm going to go to jail."
Gao Yi was confused by what he heard, but Xin Feng suddenly understood and said, "You are... you are... you are the Syrian executioner."
Fisher nodded.
Gao Yi looked at Xin Feng and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In 2015, a CIA working group in Syria was completely wiped out. Only one of the seven people survived, and the other died. They were an ISA team that was accompanying and carrying out the mission."
Xinfeng sounded a little guilty when he said this.
Gao Yi was stunned and said, "Great, you finally admitted that you support Ace Ace."
Yuri looked at Fisher and said, "Then what does it have to do with him?"
Xinfeng pointed at Fisher and said, "He was the only one who survived. However, according to subsequent investigations, there was no record of any battle between Syria and the Russians on that day, so people suspected that he killed his companions."
Fisher nodded and said, "Yes, I did it, but they have no evidence."
Xin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do this?"
"Ah, uh, maybe my humanity suddenly awakened at that time."
Fisher said this indifferently, and then turned to Gao Yi, "The director said that if I can help you with this matter, he will order an end to the investigation of me and prove that I am innocent. He also said that the Russian side can cooperate to forge a combat record in Syria and let the CIA get this false evidence. Is that true? Is anyone from the KGB?"
This matter seems to be justifiable.
Recruiting someone no one would have thought of, not only our own people but also the enemy.
Breeze can play chess and place idle pieces, so Panetta can do it even better, and it is more convenient. Fisher looked at Yuri and suddenly said, "I think you are a KGB man, because you look the least like one, so it must be you."
Fisher gave Yuri a badge and said, "Please, I want to end this as soon as possible."
Yuri took the badge and smiled, "Okay, I'll help you with this."
Panetta doesn't follow the beaten path either.
Gao Yi sighed and said, "Okay, what should we do next? If you were a famous person, wouldn't it be too ostentatious to let you lead us to do things?"
"I am only responsible for taking you to the headquarters. Once there, there will be specialized technicians to assist you in the investigation. I don't know what I can do, but maybe it's just because I have an RV that can accommodate all of you. Let's go now."
Fisher reeked of alcohol, but he didn't look dizzy.
Gao Yi was in mixed feelings, because up to now, he really couldn't see any deeper meaning behind Panetta's arrangement.
It's quite strange anyway.
After getting off the plane, leaving the runway and walking a few steps, I saw a car model that is rarely seen at the airport.
A motorhome that looks huge.
"Please get in the car. It's also my home. They issued a curfew order that I can't leave my house. But I don't have a house, only a motorhome."
Fisher opened the door to the RV, and the smell of alcohol mixed with an indescribable stench hit him in the face.
Danny suddenly asked, "I understand your situation, but can we use RVs instead of houses to enforce the curfew? Can we take advantage of this loophole?"
"Ha, see if you have any friends to help you take advantage of this loophole. I'll drive."
Gao Yi couldn't help but cover his nose subconsciously. When he got into the car, he whispered, "What is this stench? It's so bad."
I thought something was rotting in the RV, but a closer smell revealed that it was not the case, because the difference between the rotten smell and this smell is quite obvious.
Yuri also frowned and asked, "Don't you know what this smell is like?"
"I don't know. Why should I know?"
Gao Yi felt puzzled. He boarded the RV and found that the inside was actually not that bad. It was a little messy, but not very dirty. However, the smell was really bad.
Xin Feng looked at Gao Yi in surprise and said, "You really don't know what this smells like?"
Gao Yi was puzzled and said, "You are so weird, why do I have to be familiar with a bad smell?"
Danny said seriously, "This is the smell of leaves. Have you never smelled it?"
"Oh, oh, oh, I see. I really haven't... uh, I just smelled it on the street, but that smell was much lighter than this. I couldn't make the connection at the moment."
Fisher was already in the driver's seat. He shook his head and said, "Let's go, guys."
Gao Yi and the others sat in the back while Fisher drove the huge RV out of the airport. But not long after they had gone a short distance, Yuri suddenly said, "I understand."
"Let's be frank. Enough weird things have happened tonight. I don't want to keep guessing."
Yuri pointed at Fisher who was driving and said, "He must have a very, very good brother, and this person is very important. Using him means dragging this very important person into the water. I guess this must be the case."
Yuri's voice could be heard by Fisher, who was driving the car and said casually: "That's right, my best brother, he is on duty tonight."
Yuri continued: "Who is he?"
"Well, he's a staff member at the information center of the management office who's responsible for headquarters security. To put it bluntly, he's a security guard."
As the director, Panetta found a person under investigation to be the guide of Gao Yi and his team, and then did it just to drag a security guard into the water?
Gao Yi didn't think Panetta was crazy for doing this. He was just amazed that Panetta's style of doing things was indeed unconventional.
Yuri continued calmly, "Your friend is not of high rank, but he plays an important role."
"Yes, he is responsible for locating many people. I can drive around in my RV because he gave me the permissions. Let's put it this way, he can access the information of everyone entering and leaving any key location at the headquarters. If you want to check on someone who shouldn't have come to the headquarters but has, he will be the most convenient person to check."
Gao Yi suddenly realized that this was the best interpretation of why the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager.
The director of the CIA Management Office is usually the deputy director as well. It only takes a word for Panetta to give the director an order. However, a small person in an important position can directly handle all the information needed by Panetta or Gao Yi, and he would not know this small person without going through the director. Then this small person will definitely not be within the sight of the insider.
It's interesting that the highest-level things are done by the lowest-level people, and they do it in a roundabout way. It's quite interesting.
"Then how do we contact you as a friend?"
Fisher scratched his head and said, "Well, the director didn't explain, but according to my way, we drive to the headquarters, park the car in the parking lot, go around the gate, go through the entrance of the logistics unit, and then go directly to my friend. This is very simple, right? Anyway, we have access rights, no one will care about us, no one will pay attention to us."
Gao Yi raised the pass in his hand and said, "Isn't the level of this pass too high?"
Fisher chuckled and said, "No problem, everything is just right, just right."
