American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1393 Things Get Interesting
This answer was somewhat unexpected to Jack. He went to Danny to learn more about Cahill's undercover work, and it would be best if he could look at his file.

Even if Danny doesn't have the relevant authority, he can just ask his father. What trouble can that cause?

Seeing the doubt in Jack's eyes, Danny continued to explain, "I don't know how you FBI manages undercover agents, but in the NYPD, all undercover officers have a single line of communication with their liaisons.

But I have checked the contact person of the undercover police officer you mentioned, he is clean. You have to know that the undercover police officer and he are in the same boat, and if one gets into trouble, the other usually can't escape either."

"Are you sure?" Jack asked doubtfully. It was not that he did not believe Danny, but there must be a reason why the "machine" gave Cahill's number. And now they were sure that there was a mole inside the NYPD, plus there was suspicion of CIA involvement, so this matter was definitely not that simple.

"We have confirmed that someone from HR was tipping off Vargas, so who else besides his liaison has access to the files of undercover officers? Legally or illegally?"

"In theory, no one can see it." Danny said meaningfully, "All files related to undercover identities are only paper documents, so even a powerful hacker can't see those files."

Jack understood. You're looking out for people like Finch, right?

Danny then pointed underground and said, "These files are safely stored in a secret room controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Each safe has a separate password protection, and only the contact person knows those passwords.

So even if my dad wants to view those archives, he has to go through the contact person, and of course I don’t recommend you do that.”

Jack nodded in understanding. What Danny meant was that if he used Frank Reagan's authority as chief to mobilize a large number of people to review the files of undercover police officers, it would be equivalent to telling the mole that you have been exposed.

From the perspective of the "POIs", perhaps after some operations, nothing happened to Cahill and the matter ended there.

But from the NYPD's perspective, failure to catch the mole means that other undercover officers will be in similar dangerous situations in the future.

Jack sorted out his thoughts while rubbing his brows. "Now I assume that there is an insider who has learned through some channels that there is a police undercover in Vargas' gang and notified Vargas.
No, the Vargas gang just committed a crime yesterday, and they obviously don't know about it yet, so the insider should have informed the guy codenamed 'LOS', and then the 'machine' eavesdropped on it, and thus deduced that Cahill might be in danger.

Well, there must be danger. The Machine must have known the identity of the insider and knew that he would definitely be able to get Cahill's undercover information and expose his identity, so he gave out his number. "

Danny kept blinking his eyes, looking like he had no idea what nonsense you were talking about.

However, Jack had already come to a conclusion, and clapped his hands excitedly, "The traitor is in your Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he is not from HR."

"Ah?!" Danny was stunned and had no idea how this conclusion was reached.

"Vargas just bribed HR's gang of corrupt policemen to facilitate his smuggling activities. If HR had told him that there were police undercovers in the team, it would not be so easy for a newcomer like Reese to join, and they would not have taken the risk last night."

Jack has basically completed the deduction in his mind that the traitor is not from "HR", but a mole who is suspected to be "LOS" from the CIA and planted in the NYPD's Internal Affairs Department.

It took Danny a long time to understand Jack's logic, but he still found it hard to believe. "The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs did have a chance to secretly obtain those top-secret files, but they were just cleared out by Dad. How could anyone dare to do that?"

"What if I say that the man might be a spy hired by the CIA?" Jack smiled mysteriously. Danny opened his mouth to form the letter O, "CIA?"

But then he suddenly realized, "Damn it, that powerful 'LOS', are you saying that the CIA has been using the Port of New York to smuggle drugs, and has planted undercover agents inside the NYPD to prevent them from being caught by the police?"

"Then everything makes sense, doesn't it?" Jack's smug smile flashed across his face, and then he frowned deeply again.

Finch's previous concerns were not without reason. If this "LOS" was really a CIA agent, it might be difficult for the NYPD and the FBI to handle the situation.

After all, some things are carried out with the tacit approval of the upper echelons. Even if the NYPD or the FBI catches the other party in the act, for the CIA it is just a loss of money and a little loss of face.

Just one phone call to the prosecutor or the Ministry of Justice will make them release the person.

Maybe he could kill him on the spot? Jack immediately threw this idea out of his mind. If the other party was not stupid, he would never give him such an opportunity.

After all, he and the CIA don't have any deep hatred. Although Jack believes that anyone who touches drugs deserves to die, America has its own national conditions.

If the anti-drug policy is really implemented according to the laws of the University of East Asia, the population of North America will probably drop by at least 30%. Shooting half of the people in America would be considered a small number.

It is not impossible to kill "LOS" by force, but the CIA is not stupid. Unless Jack can kill all the people who are trading on the spot, it will be difficult to block the news.

The involvement of the American official forces in the drug trafficking industry is a systemic problem that cannot be changed by a mere FBI agent. There are too many interest chains involved, and it is no exaggeration to say that whoever touches it will die.

Besides, considering Jack's relatively good relationship with the CIA, there is no need to be too drastic. After all, there will be more opportunities for them to deal with each other in the future, and it would be the stupidest thing to do to turn yourself into a target right away.

Not to mention the ones far away, the guy who was asking around the serious crime squad about the "man in a suit" was obviously coming for Reese.

After figuring it all out, Jack left Danny, who was scratching his head, and took the elevator directly to the director's office on the top floor.

He originally thought that there was no need to trouble the director with such a small matter, but after thinking it over, he felt that it was still necessary to let Frank Reagan be mentally prepared first.

As usual, Jack chatted with the beautiful director's secretary, Miss Baker, for a while, and then walked into Frank's office after Frank sent away a visitor.

Half an hour later, Jack left the director's office and regained his usual confident smile, but when he returned to Reese's car, he noticed that the other person's expression had a rare hint of nervousness.

Without waiting for Jack to ask, Reese directly stated the reason, "I just saw my former superior, the head of the original action team, Mark Snow."

"The bastard who tried to silence you and your partner?" Jack suddenly realized.
