Pete watched them all leave and turned back to the monitoring room, where he picked up the phone and called John after informing No. 33 about their departure time.

At this moment, John had returned to McLean and immediately said after hearing Pete's voice: "What's wrong with Pete? Have you encountered a problem?"

"In fact...yes, sir. But it's not a security issue. But... it's a little that we can't stay here." Pete said what Thomas said before and his own speculation in an orderly manner.

One day later, Eric left Los Angeles and returned to headquarters at 8 pm. He originally planned to go back to bed directly, but he was taken back to headquarters as Miller wanted to see him immediately.

When Miller was seen, the old guy was talking to Lill. After letting Eric sit down and waited for about ten minutes, Miller finished the call and looked at Eric.

"Lill's phone number," Miller said, standing up and stretching his body, then opening a box on his desk, taking out a cigarette and lit it. "Do you know what he said to me?"

Eric seemed to have quickly recalled what he had done recently. After confirming that he had no problem, he looked at Miller and shook his head and said, "I don't know. Is it related to us?"

"Or why would I ask you?" Miller asked back and said, "Do you have no clue in Los Angeles and have you changed your target?"

Eric looked at Miller unexpectedly, because he hadn't told Miller about this, and Tucker would definitely not say it either. So when Miller suddenly mentioned this, was it because Lille knew about it and told Miller?

As if seeing Eric's doubts, Miller continued: "Lill just told me that you began to slack off after cracking the case where the insiders of Helmet were reversed by the Russians and leaked the secret project information of the Security Bureau. Do you have any specific instructions and arrangements for those who have been sent to No. 33?"

"Yes." Eric said immediately: "We have a list and need them to stare at these people."

Miller waved his hands and said, "What are the instructions and arrangements? Are there anyone in No. 33 who dares to act rashly? In addition, you have not made a clear reply to their request for your request. Now these people can no longer stay. Lill said that these people are not going to No. 33 for security. If you think there is no value, he will transfer these people away. He urgently needs manpower now."

"Uh..." Eric did not answer directly, because indeed he and Tucker were not very interested in the No. 33 for the time being. It was not that there was no value, but that this value took time, and there were too many people involved, and the situation was relatively responsible. The line he had always wanted to track down was also broken, so this place was actually a useless person. This time he came back to open a breakthrough from other directions.

When Miller saw Eric's appearance, he knew what he said. To be precise, what Lille said to him was right. He sighed and said, "Did you find anything after Hu Chen dies? I mean in Los Angeles."

"No." Eric said frankly: "I have to admit that this line is broken. I have a responsibility for this..."

Before Eric finished speaking, Miller interrupted, "No need to say this. That man didn't plan to leave alive. I have seen many such people. Your fault is not that this man died, but that you were noticed by him. For such a person, you can only subdue him by surprise and not give him any chance to commit suicide. But even so, it does not mean that you can get anything useful from him, just give you some hope and some uncertain opportunities. But no matter what, your work is successful. Not only did you find Hu Chen, but you also got rid of a Russian intelligence line. Just from these two points, it should be more certain for your work. So you don't need to worry about anything."

Eric felt much better when he heard Miller say this. Although Tucker had told him before, he felt very different when he heard it with his own ears. He only heard Eric speak, "I understand. Now Tucker and I do think that continuing to investigate in Novoco or Los Angeles is not very meaningful. I came back this time to find a breakthrough here."

Miller nodded and said, "Tuck told me that you found out from the information provided by the FBI that Hu Chen had frequently come to McLean, so you suspect that they have another intelligence network here."

"That's right." Eric said: "In my opinion, if something happened to Hu Chen, even if someone missed the net in Los Angeles, he would evacuate or stop all activities and become a real ordinary person. However, the people here should be another line, and they would not be so sensitive. In addition, there were many people who saw Hu Chen's body at that time, so the news that Hu Chen was shot but not arrested should not be hidden for long. After knowing that he was dead, not arrested, people here would not worry about the possibility of exposure. So I want to check it out from here. It's just that I need some permissions and resources."

Miller smiled and said, "Permissions and information, what should I do if I talk about Lille?"

Eric thought for a while and said, "I think we should hold on for a while. We still suspect that there are people who have something to do with Hu Chen. But as I just said, it takes time to wait for the man to move again and reveal his feet. In this case, we really have no instructions to give those who Lille specifically arranged for us."

"I think there is another important point that you think the matter in the future has little to do with you, right? That is already the affairs of the Security Bureau and the FBI. And you are only interested in matters related to our own." Miller looked at Eric and said.

"Uh..." Eric hesitated for a moment and nodded, "That's right. We do have this idea."

Miller sighed and said, "In fact, I have a similar view to you. But how long do you think you should keep those people there?"

"This can't be just asking me, I think Tucker has a better say than me," Eric said.

"What I'm asking now is you. How long do you think it will take?" Miller insisted.

Eric did not return immediately, but said in a difficult situation after thinking about it: "If I had to say something, I think they... would be better for a month there."
