Chapter 7 Chapter V Arrangement

It was later discovered that Sato and the co-pilot had donated blood to rescue the wounded during the war with the United States that did not start, but the blood was not used at all because of the pitiful number of wounded.The Japanese Red Cross found the blood samples from a computer search, the police got the samples and sent a courier aboard an Air Force VC|20 plane to Washington via Vancouver For understandable reasons, Japanese commercial aircraft are still not allowed to fly in Within the United States, even in Alaska.The courier, a senior police officer, had an aluminum box handcuffed around his wrists.A three-person team of FBI operatives met him at Andrews Air Force Base and drove him to the Hoover Building on Tenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.Once the FBI DNA lab got the sample, it went to work immediately, and then worked with other tissue samples and blood samples taken from the remains.They had done a blood type comparison, and the results of the experiment seemed to be as predictably inconclusive; nonetheless, it was the only clue in this complicated case.Acting Commissioner Dan.Murray had his own way of investigating crimes, and wasn't exactly Ben's slave, but for the purposes of this case, Ben was his bible.Supporting him is Tony.Caruso, who canceled his vacation and worked around the clock to try to lead the FBI's investigation of this case; and Pat.O'Day, as a mobile inspector, has extraordinary abilities. If he can't say that one is worth a thousand, at least one is worth a hundred.Murray received the Japanese representative in the director's meeting room.

We are already conducting experiments, said Tanaka, the leader of the investigation team, and looked at his watch. He was wearing two watches, one for Tokyo time and the other for Washington time.Once the experiment is done, they will fax the results here.Then, he opened the briefcase again, which contained Captain Sato's schedule of last week's activities, records of his conversations with family members and colleagues, and relevant background information on his life. That's a quick move, thank you.Murray took the file, not quite sure what to do next.Apparently, his guest had something to say.Murray and Tanaka have never met, but the comments about this visitor are quite impressive.A talented and experienced investigator, Tanaka is particularly adept at solving political corruption crimes, a specialty that keeps him busy.Tanaka had a Puritan look and was born to be a cop.

We will cooperate fully with you.In fact, if you are willing to send a high-ranking official from here to oversee our investigation, then I am ordered to tell you that you are welcome to do so.He bowed his head and was silent for a few seconds before continuing.This is a disgrace to our country.These people take advantage of all of us. Tanaka is amazing for a representative of a country that people mistakenly assume doesn't show their emotions.His hands were clenched tightly together, and his big black eyes gleamed with anger.From this conference room, the two could look down on Pennsylvania Avenue and see the battered Capitol building still brightly lit by hundreds of work lights in the pre-dawn darkness.

The co-pilot was murdered.Murray said.This point may help the case. oh? Dan nodded.Stabbed to death with a knife, the time seems to be before take-off.At the time it seemed that Sato was acting alone, at least he was flying the plane alone.The lab has determined that the murder weapon he used was a serrated, thin-bladed steak knife of the kind commonly used on airliners.Despite his career in detective work, Murray still admires the lab's high-tech forensics. I see.That makes sense, Tanaka said. The co-pilot's wife is pregnant with twins and is now hospitalized for further observation.What we know so far is that he seems to be a devoted husband who has no interest in politics.We also think it is unlikely that he would end his life in this way.

does sato have anything He shook his head.We have yet to find out what organization he is affiliated with.He once flew a conspirator to Saipan and had a brief conversation with him.In addition, Sato is an international airline pilot.His friends are his colleagues; he lives a quiet life in a modest house near Narita International Airport.But his brother, a senior officer in the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and his son, a fighter pilot, both died in the war.Murray had understood motives and opportunities.He wrote a note casually, asking the legal envoy in Tokyo to participate in the Japanese investigation, but he must first seek the consent of the Ministry of Justice and the government.

I like this traffic situation.Chavez said.They took Interstate 95 and passed the Springfield Mall.It would normally be dark at this time of day, and the highway was packed with bureaucrats and members of the congressional lobby.However, today is very different.Clark continued: What do you think Dr. Lane is doing now? He must rebuild the government.This is not a case in a textbook, but a fact that happened in real life.No one has ever encountered this before.Do you know what we're going to find out? He nodded.I know, let's see if the identity can do anything.He's always better than me, John thought again.They were ordered to report back on their actions in Japan, which was tricky enough.Clarke has been in the business for a while, but still doesn't like telling people what he's doing.Both he and Ding have killed people and more than once but now they're going to describe the killings in detail to people most of whom have never held a gun, let alone shot someone in a fit of rage experience.And then there's the sworn testimony to a congressional committee, of course, it won't be that fast, John corrects himself, and he's sworn to be cross-examined by people who are worse than a CIA pig, they just can't understand this kind of thing.The worst thing would be to sue, because while what he was doing wasn't entirely illegal, it wasn't absolutely legal either.Somehow, the Constitution and the United States Code of Federal Regulations and interpretations have never been fully consistent with the activities of the government that it does not wish to publicly acknowledge.Although he has a clear conscience in this and many other matters, his moral views in this area will not impress everyone.However, maybe Wren would understand, and that would be enough.

What's new this morning?Ryan asked. We expect the search operation to conclude this evening, Mr. President.Pat.O'Day was at the FBI morning briefing.Murray was busy, he explained.The inspector handed over a binder with a list of the bodies found, and Lane scanned it quickly. Is there any other situation? Things seemed to be going well and we found what we thought was the co-pilot's body.He was stabbed to death hours before the plane crashed, giving us reason to think the pilot was acting alone.We will perform a DNA comparison on the remains to confirm their identity.In order to avoid memory errors, the inspector quickly flipped through the notes.We did drug and alcohol tests on both bodies and they came back negative.And we analyzed flight data recorders, radio traffic control recordings, radar footage and everything else we could gather; and there was only one conclusion: it was a guy alone.Dan is now in a meeting with a high ranking Japanese police officer.

What's next? Investigate step by step.We found out everything that Sato's driver's name had done in the last month or so, and did a trace-back work, including: phone records, places he'd been, who he had met, what he had done. friends and colleagues, diaries if we have them, and all that we can gather.The purpose is to find out all about this guy and determine whether he may be involved in any conspiracy.This takes time and is quite laborious. What's the best guess right now? One guy did it alone.O'Day said it again, more definitely. It is too early to draw any conclusions.Andrea.Price countered.O'Day turned away.

This is not a conclusion, President Rennes is asking the most reasonable guess.I've been in the investigative business for quite some time, too; this case looks like a well-planned impulsive crime, for example: the way the co-pilot was stabbed, he didn't even get the body out of the cockpit.According to the recording, he apologized to the guy immediately after stabbing him to death. A well-planned impulsive crime?Andre questioned. Airline pilots are highly organized people, O'Day replied, and it might seem complicated to the layman, but to them it's as easy as zipping up a suit.Most assassinations are perpetrated by a stroke of luck by dysfunctional individuals.In this case, unfortunately, we have a very able principal, and he has made great use of his luck.In any case, this is as far as we can get hold of the situation.

If this is a murder with conspiracy, how will you investigate it?Ryan asked. Mr. President, a successful criminal conspiracy is elusive under the best of circumstances.Price fired again.But, continues Inspector O'Day: the problem is human nature.The most common part of human nature is boasting; we like to tell secrets to show how smart we are.Most criminals are happy to boast in such a way that it lands them in jail.Yes, we're not talking about common heists in general, but the basics are the same.It is very likely that the co-pilot was killed on impulse.Knives are far inferior to guns, not to mention that steak knives are not an easy-to-use weapon, and they are easy to bend or break when stabbed in the ribs.

How many murder cases have you handled?asked Price. Enough is enough.I have helped solve numerous local policing incidents, especially in Washington DC.The Washington Field Service has been helping DC police maintain law and order in the DC.In any case, if Sato is the gunman in the plot, he must have had contact with people, and we can investigate his free time back, but so far, there has been no clue of any of this.On the contrary, all cases indicate that someone saw a rare opportunity and took advantage of it impulsively. If the driving is not Ms. Price, the cabin recording started before the flight from Vancouver.We've recorded everything in the lab and they're the same crew. It's a digital tape and the sound quality is fantastic.From Narita International Airport to the plane crash, it's the same guy.If it wasn't Sato, why didn't the co-pilot notice?Conversely, if both the captain and the co-pilot are suspects, it means that two people were involved in the conspiracy from the beginning, but why was the co-pilot killed before takeoff in Vancouver?The Canadian personnel helped us to ask other crew members, and all service personnel said that the crew members were those people. DNA testing will prove this to be true. Inspector, your argument is convincing.Ryan commented. Mr. President, the investigation in this case will be quite complicated, and all the evidence must be examined, but the essence of the problem is actually quite simple.Faking a crime scene is really difficult, which makes it very possible for us.Is it theoretically possible to cover up in this way in order to fool our people?O'Day said carefully, yes, Mr. President, it may be possible, but it will take months to prepare for this, and they don't have that long.There was really only one scenario: the plane was flying over the Pacific Ocean when the decision was made. As much as she wanted to argue, she couldn't refute this point of view.O'Day is the kind of operator who doesn't want to sit in an office and be an official.Price had to admit that he was very good at detective work, much better than those who only made a fuss in order to get promoted.Because the inspector loves to show off so much, although in name, it is the Assistant Director Tony who is in charge of investigating the case.Caruso reported to the Justice Department, but Pat.O'Day often reported directly to Murray by leapfrogging, and Murray instead sent O'Day to report to the President in order to gain personal favor.For O'Day, he made crime investigations as his career, but his conclusion this time was too hasty. This foreign cowboy was completely following the scriptures.Fortunately, the guards would never want someone like him, she secretly rejoiced. Did you have a great holiday?Clark could tell that Mary Fu was either too early or too late.It occurred to him again that, of all the top officials in the government, President Lane probably got the most sleep, though not much. Marie Fu, how long have you not slept?Not many people could talk to her that way, but John had been her instructor in the past. She gave a faint smile.John, you are neither Jewish nor my mother. Clark looked around, where is Edward? On the way back home from Porwan.Negotiating with the Saudis.she explained.Although technically speaking, Edward is not as good as Marie Fu, Saudi culture does not accept discussions with women, so Edward is more suitable for meetings. Is there anything I need to know? She shook her head.It is nothing special. You were a little rude this morning.Clark spoke before his companion could speak. Travis grinned slightly.The country may be in turmoil, but something is more important.Mister Clark, it could be worse.Is it right? It's a neighborhood issue.John grunted.Time to get to work.How is Ryan? I was scheduled to meet him after lunch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they canceled that.The poor bastard should be buried alive. I saw reports about him getting entangled in this, is it true what the papers say? Yes, it's true, that's why we elected a temporary female employee for the president.The deputy director of operations said in a joking tone. We're about to conduct a full threat assessment, and I want you both to take part. Why us?Chavez asked. Because I don't like to let the intelligence service arrange everything.I tell you about the future: we will have a president who understands our ups and downs.We're going to strengthen operations so that I can pick up the phone, ask a question, and get a satisfactory answer that I can understand. Project blue?Clark asked, getting a satisfied nod from the other side.Blue was his last assignment before leaving the CIA training facility, known as the Ranch, near the Yorktown, Virginia, Naval Nuclear Weapons Facility.They don't hire Ivy League intellectuals anymore At least they don't smoke pipes anymore He suggested the FBI recruit cops and officers from the streets.He reasoned that the police know how to use informants without having to teach them the skills of street stalking, and know how to get out of danger.All of this will save money on training and probably produce a better cadre of field officers.But this proposal was stored in File No. 13 by the two successor deputy directors of operations, and Fu Mali knew about this situation from the very beginning and agreed with this idea.Can you sell it? John, you want to help me sell, see if Domingo has vision in this regard? Are you saying I won't agree?Chavez asked. No, Ding, it's only about his daughter, Mrs. Foley suggested, and Wren would agree, he didn't like the Chief very much.In any case, I would like to give you both advice on the file card issue. What about our cover identity?Clark asked, without having to explain what he was referring to.Marie Fu has never personally meddled in government affairs, she is a spy, not a military member of the Operations Branch, but she knows everything. John, you acted on the President's orders, so no one will question what you've done, especially the rescue of Koga.Both of you will be awarded the Intelligence Star for this.President Dooling thought about meeting you at Camp David and handing out the medals himself, and I think Jack will do the same. Wow.Travez thought, without blinking, that although it was a good idea, he had been thinking about other things during the three-hour drive from Yorktown.When does the threat assessment begin? Our section starts tomorrow.What's wrong?Mary Fu asked. Ma'am, I think we're about to get busy. Hope that is not the case.She nodded and answered. I have two things to do today.Casey said while looking at the breakfast.Since I don't know what the family likes to eat for breakfast, the staff prepared all kinds of food, which is actually quite a lot.Sally and Little Jack thought breakfast would be great and better yet, there would be no school.Katie, who had just started eating normal food, thought about buttered toast as she chewed on her bacon.For children, immediate reality matters most.Sally was fifteen years old (her father sometimes thought, woefully, that she looked almost thirty), and the most forward-looking of the three children.To each of them, Dad is still Dad, no matter what his current position is.Ryan believes that they will mature, but step by step. We didn't plan for this.Her husband answered, putting scrambled eggs and bacon on his plate.He needs some energy today. Jack, I can still get on with my job, it's an agreement we made, remember? Mrs Wren?Andrea.Price was still milling around like a Patronus, armed with an automatic.We are still considering security matters and My patients need me, Jack.Although Dr. Katz and Hal.Marcus can help me with many things, but today I have a patient who cannot do without me, and I have a series of teaching tasks to prepare.She looked at her watch, there were still four hours.This is true, Ren doesn't need to ask again.Caroline.Professor Lane (that is, Casey) is not only a doctor of medicine, but also the highest authority on laser treatment of retinal diseases. But the school had Price suddenly remembered that she knew better about it. Not including medical school because we can't send patients home.Sorry, I know how complicated it is for everyone, but I also have people who need me and I have to be there for them.Kathy watched every face in the kitchen, hoping for a decision that would go her way. Dr. Lane, when are you leaving?asked Price. About forty minutes later, depending on the There will be no such problems.Price preempted the first lady's words.There are three roads to go to Baltimore by land: Interstate 95, Baltimore | Washington Boulevard and US National Highway 1.All of these roads are so congested during the morning rush hour that the operator convoy can be divided into several sections and chaos; to make matters worse, these roads are too easy for any assassin to master, the closer to Baltimore more obvious.There is a helicopter landing pad on the roof of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine pediatrics building, but no one knows what the political consequences would be if a Marine Corps VH|60 helicopter was used to ferry the first lady to work every day.But Price thought it might be a viable solution, so she left the room to discuss it with Altman.Suddenly, it was just the Wrens, eating breakfast like a normal family. Omg Jack.Casey whispered. I see.They didn't speak any more, just savoring the rare minute of silence, looking down at their breakfast, poking it with their forks. Children need clothes for funerals.Casey said finally. Tell Andrea, will you? OK Do you know what time it is? I'll find out today. I can still work, right?With Price gone, she can talk about her worries. Ryan looked up, yes, I will try to maintain our normal life as much as possible.I understand how important your work is, and in fact, I've never had the chance to tell you that I'm always pretty proud of you for this award, babe.he said with a smile. Price is back.Doctor Lane?she says.Of course, they turned their heads together (Editor's Note: Both Doctor and Doctor are called Doctor in English).From her face, they could see her hesitation.Should they call her Dr. Wren or Mrs. Wren, or Let's all take it easy, okay?Just call me Casey. Price couldn't do that, but she sidestepped the question for a moment.We're going to fly you there by helicopter until we know for sure.The Marine Corps has sent a helicopter over. Isn't this too wasteful?Kathy asked. Yes, that's right, but we have to be absolutely foolproof, which is the most convenient and feasible at the moment.Another big man came into the room, this is Ray.Atman, he will serve as your Chief of Guard for the time being. oh.That was all Kathy could say now.Six-foot-three, two hundred and twenty-pound Ray.Atman walked into the room.He has thinning blond hair, pale skin and a shy expression, looking as if he's embarrassed by his size.Like all Secret Service operatives, his tunic is slightly oversized to cover the automatic weapon he is wearing.In fact, with his body shape, it is easy to hide a machine gun.Altman came up to shake her hand, quite gracefully. Ma'am, you know what my duty is, and I will try to keep you out of the way as much as possible.Then two more people walked in.Atman said they were the other members tasked with protecting her today. Casey wanted to ask if all this was really necessary?But she knew better in her heart what the answer was.Yet how would she restrain the group's activities around the Momini building?She and her husband exchanged glances, and it occurred to her that if she hadn't agreed to Jack's vice-presidentship, they wouldn't have been in this unpleasant embarrassment.At this time, there was the roar of the Black Hawk helicopter, which was landing on the small high platform and blew a small whirlwind.Her husband looked at his watch and saw that the Marine Corps VMH|Squadron 1 helicopters were indeed moving fast.He wondered: How long would it take for this suffocating care and attention to turn them all into lunatics? Now we are reporting live from the Naval Observatory platform on Massachusetts Avenue, the NBC reporter said at the cue of the director, this looks like a Marine Corps helicopter, I think the president is going to go somewhere.The camera quickly zoomed into a close-up, and the snowflakes on the screen gradually disappeared. A heavily modified American Black Hawk helicopter.The intelligence official said, see that there?That's an infrared suppression system called a black hole, used against surface-to-air missiles that seek out engine heat. How's the effect? Good, but not against laser-guided weapons, he added, nor against guns.No sooner had the helicopter's main rotor stopped than a team of Marines surrounded it.I need a map of this area.As long as the camera can shoot, the mortar can also hit.Of course, the same goes for the White House lawn.They understood that anyone could use mortars, especially with the new laser-guided projectiles first developed by the British and imitated by the rest of the world shortly thereafter.In a way, this is the American way, because it is their motto after all: If you can see it, you can hit it; if you can hit it, you can kill it, and you can kill Everyone in the dead, whatever it is. Thinking of this, a plan began to take shape.He looked at his watch.This watch has the function of a horse watch, and he pressed his hand on the horse watch and waited; the TV director sixty miles away had no choice but to continue watching with this long shot.At this time, a large car approached the helicopter, and four people got off.They walked directly to the helicopter, and a crew member opened the side door. That was Mrs. Wren, the commentator said, and she was a surgeon at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore. Do you think she's taking a helicopter to work?the reporter asked. We'll find out in a moment. This sentence is correct.The intelligence officer pressed the button of the horse watch at the moment when the helicopter door was closed. A few seconds later, the rotors started to rotate, and the two turbine engines were also accumulating power. Changed direction while climbing, presumably heading north.He checked his watch to see how much time it would take between closing the door and taking off.The crew of this helicopter is military, and they pride themselves on following a set pattern every time they do things.That was enough time, he judged, for the mortar shells to travel three times that distance. It was her first time in a helicopter, and they put Kathy in the rear fold-down seat between the two pilots, but didn't tell her why.The Black Hawk helicopter uses a matte fuselage design, the purpose of which is to completely absorb the impact of fourteen times the gravity in the event of a crash.Kathy's seat was the safest in the cabin, and the only discomfort she had to endure was the cold.Aside from this lingering discomfort, the helicopter experience was enjoyable.But what was disturbing was that the operators kept patrolling the door, obviously looking for some kind of danger or something. I guess she is going to work.The reporter judged.The camera follows the VH|Sixty helicopter until it disappears at the end of the bushes, a rare moment of relief.All news networks are like in John.JFK was on the go after the assassination; every normal stand-alone program was cancelled, and the news network would now run full time 24 hours a day at noon in 1963. The disaster and its aftermath have not been reported in this way.For the cable channel, it really means luck and fortune, as evidenced by various ratings surveys.But news networks must be accountable, and responsible journalism must be. By the way, she's a doctor, right?It's easy to overlook the fact that, despite the catastrophe that toppled our government, there are still people actually working outside of it.The current affairs commentator said at Mass, as if this were his calling. And it's true across the country.The reporter said directly to the camera, and after a while the camera showed the advertisement.He didn't hear the voice in the distance For now. The kids are all taken away by their bodyguards and the day's work really begins.Arnold.Van Damme looked in pain, and Lane judged that he might be hitting a wall; the combination of overwhelming work and grief almost broke the man.Wren knew that the president could do without having to do everything himself, but he couldn't do so at the cost of ruining someone he relied on so much. Let your part speak first, Arnie, and get out of here and take a break. you know i can't do this Andrea? Yes, Mr. President? After we deal with the affairs here, we will send someone to drive Arnie home, and he cannot be allowed to return to the White House before four o'clock in the afternoon.Ren turned his gaze, Ani, don't break your body because of me, I need you so much. The chief of staff was too tired to say even words of gratitude.He handed over a binder with plans for the funeral the day after tomorrow. Wren opened the binder and executed another presidential power, which came to his sudden relief. Those who make plans do it wisely and rationally.Roger.Durin and Ann.Mrs. Dooling's body will remain at the White House for round-the-clock condolences.The Doolings will be moved by hearse to the National Cathedral the next morning, accompanied by three MPs: a Jew, a Protestant and a Catholic, in what will be a multi-denominational memorial service .Wren will deliver two important speeches. What is that for?Kathy, wearing a crash helmet connected to the helicopter's intercom, pointed to another helicopter fifty-five yards to the right and rear. Ma'am, we always fly with a backup helicopter in case something happens and we have to land, the pilot in the front right seat explained, we don't want to delay you unnecessarily.He did not say that there were four Secret Service operatives with heavy weapons on the backup helicopter. Colonel, do accidents like this happen often? Ma'am, it hasn't happened since I took office.Nor did he mention that a Marine Corps Black Hawk helicopter crashed in the Potomac River in 1993, killing everyone on board.The pilot kept scanning the sky.The sky was crisp and cold, and the surroundings were fairly calm.With his fingers on the stick, he flew northeast along Interstate 95; Baltimore was already looming.He had previously worked at Patuxent River Naval Air Station, where Navy and Marine Corps helicopters had assisted in rescuing victims of flight accidents, so he knew exactly how to get to Hopkins.Hopkins, he recalled, had the National Emergency Medical Service's Children's Trauma Unit. As they flew over the trauma building at the University of Maryland, Casey also remembered something.It wasn't the first time she had flown in a helicopter, but the last time she was on a flight she was unconscious when someone tried to kill her and Sally. Mr Altman?Kathy heard a voice on the intercom. Yes, Colonel? You've been in touch with him, haven't you? Yes, they know we're coming, Colonel.Altman confirmed to him. No, I mean, is it certain that the roof is actually suitable for a Black Hawk helicopter landing? What do you mean? I mean, the fuselage of this plane is much heavier than the kind of helicopters used by the state police.Is the landing platform suitable for us to land on?Atman was silent.Colonel Goodman and his co-pilot exchanged glances and grimaced, well, let's do it. Nothing on the left. Nothing on the right side.Goodman replied.He spun around and checked the weathercock on the roof below. There was only a small northwest wind.The helicopter landed lightly, and the colonel's eyes were fixed on the wireless antenna on the right.He touches down lightly, while keeping the rotors turning to keep the weight of the fuselage from resting entirely on the thickened concrete roof.His chief engineer went over and opened the hatch; the Secret Service operator jumped out of the helicopter first and inspected the building.At the same time, Goodman kept his hands on the collective control stick, ready to leap away from the building at any time.They then escorted Mrs. Wren off the plane.His mission today is considered complete. After we go back, please call here and ask them for the grade assessment and certification of the roof, and then ask about our plan. Yes, sir.But this seems to have been decided too hastily, sir. Needless to say, he got on the radio, Marine Three, this is Marine Two. Number two please answer.The circling backup helicopter responded immediately. return flight.Goodman pulled the collective control lever, turned around and flew south away from the roof.She seems nice. She was a little nervous before landing.said the mechanic. I'm nervous too, Goodman said, and I'll give them a call when I get back. The secret service agent had called Dr. Katz in advance, and he was waiting in the building at this time, accompanied by three security personnel from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.They introduced each other and distributed identification cards, making the three operators staff members of the medical school. How is Mrs. Hart doing? I saw her twenty minutes ago, Kathy.She is very happy to have the first lady operating on her.Professor Katz was amazed by Professor Lane's reaction.
