When Joelson returned to the United States, his first stop was DC. After getting off the plane, he was sent directly to Walter Reed Medical Center.
Walter Reed Medical Center, formerly known as the U.S. Naval Medical Center. In 2011, the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the Naval Medical Center merged and were renamed Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense.
In other words, this hospital is under the control of the Pentagon.
The CIA is headquartered in Langley and has its own hospital. Although it cannot compare with Walter Reed Medical Center in terms of size and strength, sending Joelson here obviously does not consider follow-up medical care.
After being sent to the hospital, blood was drawn first, and then Joelson received a comprehensive and detailed examination. He almost had to make an incision and do the operation again, and he almost did it.
Then the entire medical team left Joelson's ward and went to an office to tell the head of the CIA what they had discovered.
"The blood sample analysis results came out. Everything is normal. The ingredients of the medicine are normal. According to my experience, the surgeon performed the anesthesia and surgery without a professional anesthesiologist. The blood count was very high and there were signs of infection. From the injured person's body
Judging from the residual content of the drug, he did not receive enough and effective antibiotics."
An elderly doctor quickly gave a conclusion after reading the blood test report. Then he put down the blood test report and said politely: "If there are no other questions, I will leave. There are still patients waiting."
I."
One doctor left in a hurry and the next one started.
"I carefully checked the patient's whole body. His operation was successful. The environment was not clean, and the wound showed signs of infection. There was no need to reopen the wound for exploration. Judging from the suture technique, the surgeon graduated from the Clinical School of Cambridge University, UK.
At least one-third of the best surgeons use the same suturing technique."
An old doctor pointed to the photo on the table, and then he continued: "In the United States, there are very few doctors who use the same technique. Dr. Jenn Wilson of J.P. Morgan Chase Hospital graduated from the Clinical School of Cambridge University and studied under the British
Professor Ryan Wallerenz, I have observed his surgery and I am very sure about this."
The CIA person picked up the photo. There was a long incision, a centipede-style suture, and a drainage port at one end. The incision was slightly red and swollen, which was a sign of slight speech.
But this incision suture is no different from any other incision suture, so why can it be seen that it is the technique of a certain medical school or even a certain doctor?
"How can you tell? Does this knife edge have any characteristics?"
"Characteristics? It's so obvious. The spacing of the sutures, the technique, the angle of the needle, the number of suture needles, the number of sutures, and the way of taking up the thread after sewing. Everything shows that this is Cam's technique.
, the incision is very beautiful, the suturing is wonderful, and it can be seen that it is a masterpiece of a well-known and experienced doctor.”
To the famous surgeon at Walter Reed Medical Center, everything was so obvious, but to a spy engaged in intelligence, the blade still looked like it had no special features.
Since you choose to hire an expert, it’s better to listen to the experts.
"Okay, the British doctor's method..."
"It's not a British doctor, it's the Cambridge University School of Medicine! Cam! It's not the Oxford University School of Medicine, it's not the London University School of Medicine, it's not the Imperial College School of Medicine, it's the Cambridge University School of Medicine!"
"Okay, doctor, Cambridge University School of Clinical Medicine, under what circumstances do you think this operation was performed? I'm asking more simply, is it an operation under normal conditions, or under a battlefield environment?"
"The rush, tension, lack of adequate sanitary environment, lack of medicines and medical equipment, I can clearly see that during the operation, the doctor had to expand the injury in order to find all the bleeding points. Simply put, he could not
When judging whether a location needs to be resected or sutured, it will all be dealt with as needed. Do you understand what I say?"
"Understood, save your life first, incidental medical injuries will not be considered."
"Yes, based on my many years of surgical experience in treating gunshot wounds, this is a relatively typical field hospital approach."
"I understand, thank you."
The surgeon turned and left, and now only CIA staff were left in the conference room.
Looking at the photo of the knife edge, the CIA man suddenly said: "British doctor, are there any British doctors in Tripoli? Oh no, he is a doctor who graduated from the Clinical School of Cambridge University."
"There should be."
"Don't be sure, be sure."
"Yes, sir, I'll go confirm."
A person left, and the person holding the photo sighed: "The news came from Tripoli. The carpet factory found traces of the operation. The blood collected was Joelson's. Then Joelson got Khalid."
He was rescued by armed forces, and then Khalid armed forces took him away and conducted a second medical rescue in a private house on the outskirts of the city. French medical equipment packaging and pharmaceutical packaging were found at the scene."
There was silence until someone whispered: "English doctors, French medicines."
"It has nothing to do with this. Who do the Khalid militants plan to send Joelson to? Also, instant-detonating bombs were found on the killed Khalid militants, which are very powerful. In other words, once they are exposed,
The bomb will be detonated immediately, blowing Joelson to pieces together."
Silence fell again.
After a long time, someone said: "I don't think Joelson was sent back to us intentionally by the Khalid armed forces. The Libyans' methods are crude and direct, and they will not do this."
“There is also a hanging garden.”
"The Intelligence Office has studied truck drivers for a long time, and the psychological profile of the truck driver is as follows. He is an extremely confident person. Extreme confidence leads to recklessness. His approach to doing things is direct, simple, and rough. This person does things regardless of the consequences. He never considers the consequences.
problem."
"Now the truck drivers have the support of the Saudi National Intelligence Service and the French Foreign Security Service."
"It is precisely because the truck driver has the support of the Saudi National Intelligence Service and the French External Security Service that we can be sure that Joelson's rescue was not arranged by them. The reason is very simple. The Saudi people have no such thinking at all.
Capability, the French, what do they want Joelson for?"
This is a group, and people in the group express their opinions, but the current opinions of all parties are in Joelson's favor.
The team leader said solemnly: "Is Joelson awake?"
"Awake, awake throughout the entire process. We are observing his reaction during the examination. So far, there is nothing abnormal."
"We deliberately showed our distrust of him and blocked him from meeting with Crawford. Joelson acted very angry, but there was no panic. Everything was normal."
The team leader stood up and said: "Go and see him."
The group left the borrowed conference room and quickly moved to Joelson's ward.
Joelson was tired and weak, and after the five people filed in, he showed frustration and helplessness.
The team leader stepped forward, stood at the head of Joelson's bed, and said seriously: "You know your situation, right?"
"Know."
Joelson replied feebly, then he closed his eyes and whispered: "Are you going to torture me so soon, without waiting for me to recover better?"
"Time is tight and everyone is under great pressure. Let me tell you straight now. What is going on between you and Henry? Think about it before answering."
Joelson opened his eyes, and then he said helplessly: "What else is there to say? I have no personal grudges with him, only a competitive relationship, but he has no backing, and I still hope to be transferred back to the headquarters.
"Libya is just my springboard, but it is his end, so do I need to argue with him?"
"Henry is dead, but you are still alive."
Joelson looked at the team leader who was a complete stranger and said: "I almost died. Now it seems that I might as well die, because if you are alive and you are suspected, at least you don't have to suffer when you are dead. Those methods of treating suspected people,
You know better than me."
A group of people were silent until the group leader said again: "Who do the Khalid armed forces want to send you to?"
"I don't know. I was in a coma for a long time. I woke up briefly in the middle, but then passed out again soon."
Joelson answered the question impatiently, but he quickly said: "But I can tell you that it is the Turks who have always funded Khalid's armed forces. Check the Turkish intelligence network in Libya, and there may be surprises.
.”
"Chicken, okay."
The team leader looked at his watch, and then he whispered: "You know Tripoli very well. Now, do you have any suggestions for our work in Tripoli?"
"Khalid's armed forces are not a threat. They can be easily eliminated completely. The real threat... I dare to say it. Do you dare to listen? Do you dare to record it?"
Joelson looked at the team leader who was interrogating him with mocking and provocative eyes.
The team leader said seriously: "Speak!"
"There is a mole. If I knew that this mission would lead to my almost death, of course I would not bring a fucking pistol and pretend to be a hero!"
Joelson gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "When I was given the task, everyone said it was a very simple task. I snatched this task from Henry, but the result, you can see clearly, I
I was held hostage and almost died. If I were a mole, would I expose myself in such an idiotic way?"
Taking a breath, Joelson said helplessly: "Henry is dead and his suspicion has been cleared, but I am not dead. I really might as well be dead..."
"Don't be so pessimistic. You are just incompetent, but there is no suspicion of being a mole because you are not qualified."
The team leader's words were extremely rude. Joelson was furious when he heard what he said. He tried his best to say: "If it were you, under the premise that there is an insider who betrays the information, could you do better than me? Can you!"
Joelson's level is too low, there's no way he could be the mole.
The team leader took a breath and whispered: "It's because the CIA is full of incompetent people like you that it can't handle a truck driver. If you were my subordinate... haha."
Joelson passed the first level because he was worthless and incompetent and was not worthy of being a mole.
Chapter completed!
