Chapter 537 Threshold
Chapter 537 Threshold
The CIA headquarters is very large, and the office area is also very large. Different departments are divided into many areas, but what Gao Yi and his team are looking for now is the territory of the management office.
Most importantly, the CIA Director's Office is located in this building.
Gao Yi followed Fisher into a large office area.
There are a lot of screens here, and there are at least seven or eight people working in the huge monitoring room, and most of them are wearing guard uniforms.
When they walked into the monitoring room, Fisher clapped his hands in front of the surprised eyes of the guards and shouted, "Everyone come here, put down your work, and come closer to me, faster, thank you, faster."
There were eight people in total, two of whom were in plain clothes and six in guard uniforms. They walked up to Fisher with doubts.
"You are...Fisher!"
A man in a suit looked at Fisher and said in surprise, and Fisher looked at him and said, "Yes."
The other man in a suit was equally surprised and asked, "How did you get in?"
Both men in suits knew Fisher, but it was obvious that the latter was Fisher's friend, because his face was full of worry at the moment, as if he knew that Fisher's coming here was not a good thing.
Fisher pointed to his badge and said calmly, "I have been authorized to come here to handle a case. Now, all of you please leave here immediately and wait in the lounge. I want to remind you that I don't have time to take away your communication tools now, but if any of you contact the outside world, you will become a suspect. I think you should understand what this means. You should supervise each other and don't become the next traitor to be investigated."
The group of people looked at each other, but they had no intention of resisting or refutation.
Fisher did not confiscate these people's cell phones, nor did he ask them to turn off their walkie-talkies, but he asked them to supervise each other, which made it so that no one dared to contact the outside world.
After all, no one can afford to become a suspected insider who is the focus of investigation.
After saying this, Fisher pointed to a man in a suit and said, "You stay and cooperate with the investigation. Everyone else please leave. Thank you."
Fisher looked polite, but his high spirits could no longer be concealed.
It's just a person who looks very decadent, ordering others to do this and that in high spirits. It's a little bit incongruous, but everything else is fine.
After everyone left, the man in the suit hesitated and whispered, "Fisher, what are you doing?"
Fisher turned around and pointed at the man in a suit next to him and said, "Henry, my friend."
Henry looked at Gao Yi, who nodded and said, "Since we are all family, let's get to work quickly."
Henry was still confused, and Fisher immediately said, "We came here to look for a traitor who intends to harm the director. He may have secretly sneaked into the headquarters tonight. Please check if there are any abnormal records of people entering and leaving."
Henry exhaled, hesitated, and said to Fisher: "Really?"
Others didn't dare to ask this question, but Henry, who was familiar with Fisher, couldn't help but ask it.
If Fisher were to use the tiger's skin to make a big deal, Henry would be the first one to suffer.
"I won't hurt you."
Fisher simply replied, but Henry believed what Fisher said. He nodded and whispered, "Okay, come this way."
Henry sat in front of a computer. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Is there an approximate time range? What does the so-called anomaly mean?"
"The time starts from 12 o'clock tonight. We don't know what identity or appearance the insider has used to enter the headquarters, so you decide the scope of the investigation yourself."
Henry thought for a moment and said, “Start with the entry and exit records. No, just look at the entry records.”
Henry entered a command on the computer, and then the entry records on the access control system began to flash with fake lists and photos.
"Since midnight, a total of 223 people have entered. This is a normal number. I can't automatically check this. I need to rely on my own experience to figure it out."
Henry's words were quite simple, but Gao Yi couldn't help but ask, "There are at least several thousand people at the CIA headquarters. Can you remember who is working overtime and who is not?"
"I can't remember them, but I can quickly distinguish them. Some obvious abnormalities can be quickly screened out. In fact, it is difficult to use such broad conditions. If there are more precise abnormal conditions, it will be much easier."
As Henry spoke, he pressed the direction key and watched the records in the access control system scroll down quickly.
Henry suddenly stopped, then pointed at a person in the photo and said, "This person is from the General Audit Office. He doesn't need to be on duty in the middle of the night or work overtime..."
After looking at the entry record on the access control system, Henry clicked the mouse a few times, then looked up at one of the dozens of monitors in front of him. Then, the surveillance video of a person entering the headquarters building from the main entrance began to play.
High-definition pictures, taken very clearly.
Gao Yi and Fisher were both watching the surveillance video. Xin Feng took a look and whispered, "It shouldn't be. This person is too short."
Panetta had Breeze's basic information, and although Breeze was good at makeup, his height was difficult to disguise, so he could immediately make a preliminary judgment based on his height. Henry didn't listen to Feng. He tilted his head slightly, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "If we are investigating someone who has been disguised, then this person is fine."
Gao Yi asked again: "Can you remember everyone's appearance? Can you tell the real from the fake?"
Henry looked at Fisher again. Fisher pointed at Gao Yi's badge and shrugged, saying, "I'm just the executor. This is the boss."
Henry immediately said, "I can't remember everyone, but I can remember at least 80% of them. As long as they often come in and out of the headquarters, I know them all."
Gao Yi took a breath of cold air, and Yuri approached Gao Yi and whispered in barely audible Russian: "Don't make a fuss. This is very simple. Many people can do it. Of course, you need to have this talent to become the security director of the CIA headquarters."
After saying that, Yuri turned his head to the side and patted Gao Yi on the back.
This means don't show your weakness, or it will make us look ignorant.
Gao Yi discovered that since he began to come into contact with the most elite group in the world, most of the people he met were geniuses.
A genius that was once rare is now just a basic quality here, in the circle that Gao Yi is becoming increasingly familiar with. This is probably what it means that if you become a genius, you will have the opportunity to see me.
Gao Yi nodded and said to Henry with approval, "Well done, keep going."
Henry was a little overwhelmed by this inexplicable exaggeration. If it was a compliment from his boss, he would definitely be happy. If it was recognition from the director, he would definitely be excited. But now, it was just an outsider he had never met who was qualified to praise him so openly, which made him feel very weird.
Fisher said on the side: "Thank you for the compliment, thank you for your recognition of Henry's business level."
Fisher was reminding Henry that this young man with an Asian face had a prominent background, and that his praise was useful, but he needed to be tactful and know where to stand.
Henry was neither a fool nor a stubborn person. After hearing Fisher's words, he immediately said to Gao Yi, "Thank you."
Then Henry continued to watch.
After passing a long list, Henry stopped again and suddenly fell into deep thought.
He tilted his head, didn't speak, didn't move, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, Henry suddenly said, "This person is not right."
Without pointing out that the person on the list was wrong, Henry just tapped on the keyboard a few times and pulled up a large photo of a person's work ID. Then a video of a person entering the headquarters building immediately appeared on the screen.
He also walked in through the main gate. At 2:02 in the morning, a man walked into the CIA headquarters with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
"This person's height range is..."
Xinfeng was the first to speak, but as soon as he said something, Henry immediately said, "Shut up!"
Xinfeng immediately shut up.
Henry watched for a few seconds, then he rewound the video and watched the man from the moment he entered the surveillance range until the man in the video walked in front of the facial recognition machine.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual, as the facial recognition passed very smoothly, and the person walked through the simplest access control recognition at the entrance almost without stopping.
"His gait was normal, his face was normal, but he shouldn't have come at two in the morning..."
Henry muttered to himself a few times, then he quickly changed the video, and soon the monitor began to show the person entering a door that required secondary identity authentication. The person in the video took off his glasses, put his eyes in front of the pupil recognition instrument, and then opened a door.
It still looks normal, but here, Henry began to slow down the video, almost frame by frame to watch the man taking off his glasses.
After playing it in slow motion, when the person in the video took off his glasses and held them at an angle, Henry suddenly said, "That's him! This person is extremely nearsighted! And the guy in the video is wearing plain glasses, which are just decorations, not myopic glasses!"
The second person found it, that’s amazing.
Fisher took a closer look and nodded, "Yes, the lenses are not thick enough, and they don't have the aperture effect that myopic glasses have. That's right, these are plain glasses, and he wears highly simulated pupil pattern contact lenses."
"George Lavine, Executive Assistant of the Intelligence Division's Management and Analysis Office! This is his photo, in the Intelligence Division office area on the fourth floor! I'll immediately look for his current location."
Henry spoke quickly, and a high-definition picture appeared on the monitor. With his continuous operation, several videos were immediately retrieved. Soon, Henry said anxiously: "Fourth floor! Intelligence Department Office Area, Management and Analysis Office, Second Intelligence Room! He has been in and has never come out!"
Gao Yi immediately asked, "Shall we go?"
"Not urgent."
Fisher raised his hand to make a gesture to stop him, and then he said to Gao Yi, "Don't worry, it can't be just one person. There can't be only one person. They will have a lot of people tonight. Henry, keep checking. There is a big guy coming in from the logistics entrance. Check if this person is normal."
Gao Yi was no longer anxious when he found someone who looked abnormal. He nodded and said, "Yes, keep looking. Find all the abnormal people!"
