Chapter 251 What on Earth Are the CIA People Doing?
"Leni! Something happened! The CIA submitted a confidential information to the military, saying that it has found the hiding place of Cardano's nuclear weapons!"
On the Quinjet, the investigation team, which had completed the rescue mission and the 084 exploration mission, was preparing to return to Italy to rest and recuperate as originally planned, and then go to Libya to collect information about nuclear weapons until the next day.
However, Skye, who had hacked into the CIA intelligence system for no reason, suddenly screamed on the way back.
"They provided reliable intelligence to the military, claiming that the nuclear warhead was probably hidden in a building next to the hotel in the center of Tripoli!"
However, as soon as these words came out, Leni almost choked on her coffee, so she quickly took out a tissue from the warehouse and wiped her lips.
"Ahem!...How is that possible! I have used my ability to sense the nearby buildings, there is no way they contain nuclear weapons!"
Skye didn't say anything more, she just synchronized all the information she collected to the operable holographic screen and motioned for everyone to check it out for themselves.
"This is...the defected Colonel Lawrence?"
Fitz enlarged a photo, which recorded two men shaking hands while standing in front of the central hotel in Tripoli. One of them was undoubtedly Kadzo.
And the other man turned out to be Army Colonel Lawrence, who had previously defected to the United States!
"So... the nuclear weapon was indeed provided to Colonel Cardano by that guy Lawrence?"
Switching to another picture, the picture is still a group photo of the two standing together, but this time the background is no longer the Tripoli Central Hotel, but a slightly shabby blue container.
"The CIA stated that the blue container in the picture contained nuclear weapons that were disguised by Lawrence to facilitate smuggling and transportation!"
Everyone looked at each other and felt a little incredible.
Judging from the time when the photo was taken, the transaction between the two should have been in June of this year, which was the time when the investigation team was ordered to go to the North Pole to search for Team USA.
But the problem is that Colonel Lawrence defected from the US military last year, and the accurate time should be January 2010.
There was a difference of nearly a year and a half. Where did Lawrence get the nuclear weapons?
And judging from these two photos, the CIA has actually had information about Cardano's nuclear weapons for a long time, but why did they not provide such important information to the military during their previous operations?
Instead, they only informed General Ross about Colonel Lawrence's final disappearance in Benghazi, causing the military's special team to still be stuck in the quagmire.
"Is it possible...that you were negligent?"
Ward rubbed his chin, and something in his heart made him vaguely feel that something was wrong with this Lawrence. This strange way of doing things made him think of a certain noun...
Leni glanced at him and shook her head firmly.
"It's impossible. It's not like you don't know my abilities. As long as they are within 1 kilometer of me, few people can escape my perception, let alone such a big container."
Ward didn't say anything more. Leni's ability was obvious to everyone. When they were at the Central Hotel, Leni had relied on her ability to avoid a group of enemies.
"Then what happened to this nuclear weapon? They couldn't have transported it after we left, right?"
Simmons rubbed her head. Now she couldn't figure out what was going on even if she tried to break her head.
On the one hand, the CIA said that nuclear weapons have always been in Tripoli, but on the other hand, Leni said that they couldn't be near there. It couldn't really be that they were transported there temporarily, right?
"Holmes once said, eliminate all impossibilities, and even if the remaining is impossible, it is the truth!"
Leni stared closely at the two photos on the display screen of the entire system, and her suspicion of the CIA deepened.
"My perception is absolutely correct. There can't be such a large container nearby. It can only be that the people there waited for us to leave and moved the nuclear weapons there."
But this exposed another doubt. How did the CIA know about this matter? Why do they insist that the container has always been there?
"If that's the case, where did the CAI get its intelligence personnel? Didn't it mean that the agents in the central hotel were the CIA's last intelligence personnel in Tripoli?"
Skye only felt that her scalp was itchy. Consuming brain cells on this kind of problem was really not something she was good at.
"You are blind to trusting an intelligence organization that engages in espionage. The CIA has clearly not told the truth to the military."
Leni rolled her eyes at her. She usually had a very smart mind, but when it came time to use it, she lost her ability.
"The CIA people not only deceived the military, I'm afraid they also deceived the Security Council."
Natasha shared an intelligence message that the CIA had just submitted to the Security Council on the holographic screen, which clearly stated that the investigation team had taken away a certain weapon of mass destruction from the Central Hotel in Tripoli.
And it was clearly specified that the person who took away the weapon was none other than Stark Industries shareholder Leni Stark!
"Hiss~ What a great move to bring down the fire!"
Skye took a breath. Having learned some Chinese culture a few days ago, she used this idiom here without thinking.
Leni rolled her eyes again and ignored this guy.
"Looking at it now, we were right not to hand those agents directly back to the CIA. They seemed to have planned to pour dirty water on us."
Natasha picked up a cup of her own coffee and took a sip. The night of combat operations made her feel a little tired.
"And they already knew what was in the basement of the hotel."
Melinda sat leisurely in the driver's seat. The Quinjet was now on autopilot, so she didn't need to stare at the sky outside all the time.
"Huh? Isn't that right? I have obviously hacked their control system. Those CIA agents who have been staying on the second underground floor cannot obtain your action status!"
Skye suddenly stood up from his seat and said in disbelief.
"That's just what you think. As far as I know, there are many hackers in the world who are better than you."
Ward sorted out his equipment. He felt that it wouldn't be long before they had to go back to that damn city again.
"Impossible! No matter how much better a hacker is than me, there is no way he can obtain the surveillance data under my nose without any trace!"
However, Mestre on the side poured a basin of cold water on her.
"Have you forgotten how you were caught by us?"
Meister was referring to the time when Skye first met Leni and others a few months ago. According to the analysis of the information provided by Skye herself afterwards, the guy who gave her the bounty mission was an unknown person. Feel like a super hacker.
"But……"
Skye was at a loss for words and wanted to argue, but no one wanted to dwell on it anymore.
"It's nothing to worry about, Skye, you have to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world..."
