Chapter 89 Inexplicable

Early morning, subway station

A subway arrived at the station, the door opened, and Sauter's figure appeared, got off the train, and moved with the flow of people.

After a while, Sauter walked out of the subway exit.

It is the morning rush hour now, and there are people everywhere rushing to work or go to school.

Sauter mingled in the crowd, waiting for the traffic light at the intersection to change.

The red countdown was changing. Shao Te looked around boredly. Next to him, a mother and her daughter were also waiting for the light. The girl looked about five or six years old, with a face full of collagen and a cute smile.

Seeing the girl smiling at him, Shao Te also smiled and waved to the girl in a friendly manner.

Seeing her daughter interacting with the person next to her, the girl's mother also smiled and gestured. Shao Te smiled back, but then, the other party's expression changed and she pulled her daughter to stand further away.

Sauter lowered his head to check, and then realized that the pistol in his windbreaker had accidentally been exposed, scaring the woman.

This episode did not affect Sauter's mood. As usual, she bought a copy of "The Sun" and coffee and came to her workstation.

There is no useful information in today's entertainment section. Since the order was issued that day, Orlov has not contacted her again.

Before the time reached 9:30, Sauter heard the sound of knocking on the glass.

Looking up, it was Ted. He was standing in the office and motioned for Sauter to come over.

It seems that there is something important, otherwise Ted will usually not arrange work for her before 9:30.

Shao Te stood up and pushed the door open.

"There is a case here, please handle it."

Ted threw a file on the table, and Sauter walked over to pick it up, flipping through a few pages, and then frowned.

The FBI asked for assistance in investigating whether a CIA agent named Jack Cliff was related to the Red Devils. This was nothing.

What made him different was that the information clearly stated that this agent joined the Fourth Team of the Counterintelligence Center one day ago.

"Pamela's team?" Sauter confirmed again.

"Yes, this investigation should be as low-key as possible, so only you will participate."

Ted looked serious. The work of the counterintelligence center is relatively sensitive, not to mention that the target of this investigation is one of his own.

"I understand."

Sauter left the office with a sense of vigilance in his heart.

Orlov asked her to investigate the current situation of the fourth team. Originally, this was not easy to do.

Although she is also from the Counterintelligence Center, the work between the various groups is not transparent.

Now it suddenly works.

Although the actual target of her investigation is Jack Cliff, the investigation will definitely involve the four groups, so Ted must give her authorization.

People who work in espionage never believe in coincidences. But it was such a coincidence, a coincidence without any cover-up, that she had to wonder whether this was really just a coincidence.

……

In the morning, Jack drove to Wal-Mart. Since the job was settled, he would have to join the job in two days. Before leaving, Jack planned to fill Lucy's refrigerator.

It will take two days for Lucy to be discharged from the hospital, and the two children are still being looked after at Sonny's house.

Parking the car in front of the supermarket, Jack pushed the shopping cart into the supermarket. In addition to some daily necessities, he was also going to buy a gift for each of Jeremy and Lilith.

Jack was walking in the food area pushing a shopping cart. Lucy needed nutrition after being discharged from the hospital, so Jack picked out a lot of high-protein foods.

Meat, eggs, fish, shrimp, milk, and beans rich in protein such as soybeans, green beans, and black beans are all beneficial to wound recovery.

Jack was scanning goods in the food section, and soon half of the cart had been piled up. He turned to the fast food section, ready to buy some more pasta, macaroni, and the like, but found an extra small box in the shopping cart.

Pick it up and it's a disposable camera.

Jack looked around, a little confused. He had just passed by the shelf with the camera, but he didn't remember taking it.

Did he fall in while passing by just now?

Jack was too lazy to think about it, so he pushed the shopping cart to the tool area and hung up the disposable camera again.

I went back to the fast food section and continued shopping. Then I went to the toy section and bought a toy for each of the two children.

Pushing the overhanging shopping cart to check out, there were not many people in line, so it was his turn soon.

The cashier scanned the codes one by one, and Jack cooperated to move the goods from the shopping cart to the checkout counter, but he was suddenly dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Jack looked at the disposable camera in his hand. He clearly remembered that this thing had been put back on the shelf just now, but why did it appear in his shopping cart again?

He looked around, who was playing a prank on me?

But there are innocent looks all around.

"Sir?"

The cashier aunt motioned to Jack to bring over the disposable camera in her hand. She wanted to scan the code. Jack quickly said: "This is not mine."

"Yes sir."

The cashier took the disposable camera, put it next to it, and started scanning the QR code.

"The total is eighty-seven dollars, thank you."

Just as Jack was about to pay the bill, the supermarket's radio suddenly burst into applause, and then began to announce: "Welcome the customer at window three to become our store's 10,000th customer and win the lucky prize."

The next second, Jack saw everyone around him applauding, and the focus of their eyes was on himself.

He looked up and saw "3" written on the number plate above his head.

I am actually the lucky customer.

Jack was confused, and the cashier looked at Jack with a smile and said: "Lucky sir, congratulations on winning the lucky prize from this supermarket. The prize is a free purchase of this shopping product. In addition, I will also give you a separate gift."

A small gift, a disposable camera."

When Jack returned to the car with the shopping bags, he was still a little confused. Looking at the goods in his hand and the lingering disposable camera, what on earth was going on?

Unfortunately, no one can answer his question.

Jack thinks the answer may lie in this camera.

He took apart the camera and inspected it with both his naked and mental eyes. He found nothing special. At least he was sure that this thing was not a bomb or something dangerous.

Turning on the camera, Jack put his eyes to the eye window and was about to press the shutter button when he felt a red light sweep across and then an electronic sound sounded.

"Identity confirmed, Level 2 Agent Jack Cliff, welcome to the Fourth Team of the Counterintelligence Center.

Three months ago, you were ordered to go to Moscow to carry out a mission to assassinate Pamela Landi. The mission failed, and you were subsequently hunted by the FSB.

During the period when you have not joined the Fourth Team, the Fourth Team has been working on investigating the reasons for Pamela's exposure. We would like to inform you that please go to Atlanta International Airport at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please note that this information will be updated within 5 seconds.

Then destroy it..."

Upon hearing the prompt, Jack moved his eyes away from the camera. Five seconds later, a burst of smoke came out of the camera.
