The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

National security above the truth?

Ah.

This sentence is a scene.

When Lake was in law enforcement, he often said, "I am inseparable from sin, and the quality of this sentence is similar to this sentence."

I'm after shitty national security.

What Lao Tzu is after is a mastery of ideas.

Whoever provokes me, whoever I scold.

This is also the reason why Lake played two roles and told reporters the news, which made him detonate.

Langley now has only two options.

Be a scapegoat.

or...

Sold the Aegis.

Besides, even if they wanted to take a third way, Lake would not give them a third way.

Again.

If you don't listen to what I warned before, then you can only blame me for being cruel.

at the moment.

Lake said this not only to remind Rachel that she was in a dangerous situation, but also to the little ears of the two FBI behind.

seeing is believing.

look.

Lao Tzu is wholeheartedly concerned with national security. Whoever dares to endanger national security is my enemy.

so.

Lake pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

Rachel narrowed her eyes: "This is..."

Lake shrugged. "Ms. Armstrong, do you know where you are now?"

Rachel frowned: "I'm not an official."

After this report came out, someone told her early this morning that the Federal Ministry of Justice urgently dispatched a prosecutor who was going through the process to become a special prosecutor to conduct a full-fledged investigation into the disclosure of the agent's identity.

Lake said: "I don't know who the informant who provided you with this information is, but you are in danger. It is estimated that after this meeting is over, a federal agent will find you and ask you to go, so, Otherwise, come with me."

Involved in leaking the identity of federal agents, which is also considered a kind of potentially endangering national security.

Lake asks Rachel to go back and investigate.

Very reasonable.

to suffer.

Following him all the time, the two federal investigators who had eavesdropped on Rachel's phone glanced at each other, quickened their pace, and prepared to ask Rachel to go back to assist in the investigation.

Lake laughed: "If you don't believe me, look behind you to see if someone from the FBI is here."

Rachel turned to look.

really.

The two federal agents have shown their credentials: "Rachel Armstrong..."

Rachel turned back quickly, very skillfully grabbed Lake's handcuffs and placed one end on her own.

interesting.

Lake raised an eyebrow.

The two detectives behind him seemed a little dumbfounded.

approach.

"Rachel..."

"and many more."

Lake interrupted directly, showed his homeland security badge, smiled and said: "It's too late, Ms. Rachel Armstrong is suspected of a case that endangers national security. I want to ask her to go back and investigate, you can wait for the next time."

A federal agent said: "Assistant Director Edwin, this is not..."

Lake interrupted again: "It's not in line with the rules, Lao Tzu's name appeared in the Sun, it is estimated that it has spread in Washington, who told her about my involvement in this case, I'll investigate, it's not in line with the rules , or do you want me to avoid suspicion?"

Another federal agent cautiously said, "Avoid suspicion?"

Lake smiled.

This federal agent really dared to follow his words.

Lake looked at the federal agent: "Just joined?"

The federal agent nodded.

Lake shook his head speechlessly, and looked directly at the federal agent who talked a lot: "If you want someone, let the Attorney General contact our Minister Kelly."

Done.

Lake looked directly at Rachel next to him: "Let's go, Ms. Armstrong, go to the Homeland Security Building for a cup of coffee?"

after an hour.

Homeland Security Building.

Lake took Rachel Armstrong out of the car, and after showing his ID, he led Rachel Armstrong directly to an interrogation room.

The interrogation room is no different from other interrogation rooms.

Lake brought in two cups of coffee from outside, handed one to Rachel, took a sip, and said, "The coffee here is terrible, please forgive me."

Rachel smiled reluctantly and said, "Can I call my lawyer?"

Lake spread his hands: "Of course, in fact, you can leave if you want, but the federal agents are probably waiting outside the building."

Rachel: "..."

Lao Tzu finally had the opportunity to experience the ultimate inner ghost drama.

This is what Lake thought in his heart. From the first day he joined the Law Enforcement Bureau, he thought that he would be able to investigate himself one day. This time, he finally got his wish.

"Dong dong!"

"Come in."

A homeland agent pushed open the door and said to Lake, who was sitting up in a chair, "Assistant Director Edwin, the minister asked you to go to the office to meet him."

Lake nodded, then looked at Rachel on the opposite side: "Look, the Attorney General's call is coming, you can be more comfortable here, you won't want to go out."

Get up.

Lake said to the territorial agent: "Look, unless she goes out on her own, I'll be stuck if anyone comes. If it doesn't work, I'll say that the door key is broken inside. If someone is investigated by the federal government. I can't help the FBI, but I can fire you."

The homeland agent opened his mouth.

This... what does this have to do with me.

Office of the Minister.

Lake knocked on the door and greeted Minister Kelly, "Good morning, Minister."

Minister Kelly said angrily, "Why are you in Washington when you're not in New York?"

"Vacation, I have asked for leave. Karen wants me to come back and spend the Independence Day together. You can check with Karen. I definitely didn't come here voluntarily. Karen said that if I didn't come back, she would cut off my relationship with me."

"..."

Of course, Minister Kelly would not go to Karen for verification, and directly changed the subject: "What is the situation with the female reporter in the interrogation room, you are crazy, arrest her?"

Lake said: "It is suspected of leaking the identity of Langley's agents and endangering national security. Langley has no domestic law enforcement power, and the FBI's authority to investigate national security is also under our Homeland Security Bureau. We are none other than us, aren't we?"

This is all calculated.

otherwise……

Without this function, when Lake was in New York, he would have had a blast with the female Langley agent.

Minister Kelly pointed to the phone: "The Attorney General just called me and wants us to move."

Lake shrugged. "If the Secretary feels that this is a national security case that we can't handle at Homeland Security, I can transfer the person to the FBI."

Minister Kelly's face darkened: "Don't provoke me with your words."

Lake raised his hand: "Don't dare."

Minister Kelly took a deep breath: "The White Building is very concerned about this matter, the identity of Agent Langley has been leaked, and the Department of Justice has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate this matter. I ask you, how long will it take you to get out of the building? The female reporter under the office knew the name of the leaker."

Lake looked at the time on the watch in his hand: "It's ten forty in the morning, so... within ninety-six hours, how about it?"

Minister Kelly: "..."

Anyway, let the bullet fly for a while.

Minister Kelly blinked, but he didn't seem to react, and when he came back to his senses, his face darkened again: "You have thirty-six hours, you can't get a name, send the person to the FBI, now Langley There is already news over there that you suspect that you disclosed it."

Lake's face was serious: "This is Chi Guoguo's slander. At that time, there was a total of one copy of the transfer order, and the one from the Department of Homeland Security was kept in the New York archives. From copying to returning to the archives, The whole process is videotaped, and there are records to check.”

Minister Kelly was too lazy to say anything, and waved directly to Lake: "Remember, thirty-six hours."

Lake said, then turned to leave.

The corners of the mouth are curved.

Look.

This is the so-called house breaking effect.

This is what Mr. Lu Xun said. People are very reasonable. For example, if you want to open a window in the room, the owner of the house may not agree. He will agree to your request to open a window.

in the interrogation room.

Lake looked at the national agent who looked like a statue at the door: "How about it, people are still there."

The homeland agent nodded: "Her lawyer went in."

Lake hummed, pushed the door and walked in.

Rachel, who was talking to the newspaper lawyer, and her newspaper lawyer all looked up at Lake who came in.

Lake looked at his watch: "Let's go out in an hour."

Rachel and the newspaper lawyer were stunned: "What?"

Lake shrugged and said: "The Homeland Security Agency accepts this leak that threatens national security. As long as you tell me who the whistleblower is, you can leave. I won't trouble you, and the FBI won't trouble you. "

Rachel shook her head and said, "But I don't know my whistleblower."

Professor X?

The name is just made up.

Lake smiled and said, "It's okay, I know."

"what?"

"Do not believe?"

Lake put his hands in his pockets with a faint expression: "The Lincoln Memorial is under surveillance, Ms. Armstrong, and the Department of Homeland Security has a handful of lip-reading experts. It's not difficult to analyze it."

And the clone has also appeared in front of the surveillance.

Again.

Lake just wanted to send this report out through Rachel, and didn't plan to cheat the reporter. Who knows if Rachel would refuse to name the whistleblower because of her professional ethics.

If asked by the FBI, if Rachel doesn't say, hehe, it is estimated that Rachel will be imprisoned. In court, if Rachel doesn't say anything, she will be directly detained for contempt of court. Go, go, it's not a problem to be detained for a year and a half.

If there is a crisis in other people's families because of Lake's incident.

Lake couldn't bear it.

so.

after an hour.

Rachel and her lawyer left the Homeland Security Building in a daze.

"Give me a copy of the surveillance footage from the Lincoln Memorial three days ago. By the way, find a few experts who can read lips."

"Yes."

Lake walked into the operational command center of the headquarters, and just after explaining a few words, a man who claimed to be a special prosecutor walked in.

As soon as you enter.

At first glance, Special Prosecutor Patton, who seemed very conceited, said directly to Lake: "Assistant Director Edwin, where are my people..."

Lake looked at Parton: "Man, I haven't caught anyone yet. When I catch him, it's time for your prosecutor to appear. Now, let's cool off."

Patton: "..."

Can you give me a full order?
