All his team members were dead. However, according to his boss Eugene Chizuoji, Ethan was the culprit of everything, and it was Ethan who leaked all the information!

Until now, Ethan can still recall every detail of his conversation with Eugene.

After Ethan revealed that Eugene actually arranged another team of agents in the consulate to monitor their actions today, and that he didn't trust them, Eugene also directly showed his cards and told the truth about this operation.

Only then did Ethan know that this time, the target of their operation was a fake from the very beginning. From the very beginning, the goal of the headquarters was not the fake list, but to find out the traitor among them!

But now, a huge remittance from an unknown source has been received in his parents' account. All the members of his team were attacked and killed, and he was the only one who was not attacked.

It is conceivable why Eugene suspected that he was a mole, Ethan knew very well that under such circumstances, he really couldn't argue!

Ethan knew that he was not a traitor but was framed by others, but he also knew that if there was no strong evidence to find out the real traitor, then his charges would definitely be confirmed!

He knew he couldn't follow Eugene back to CIA headquarters.

As an agent, he knew those methods very well, and he didn't want to try at all to see if he could still stick to his heart in such a situation and not be beaten into tricks.

Therefore, Ethan directly blasted the safe zone with a chewing gum bomb, causing chaos, and escaped successfully. He came to the safe point, and was going to see if he could find some clues.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sudden knock on the door made Ethan's eyes widen and he woke up.

Although such a temporary safety point should be known only within the team members, since there are moles, then maybe these things will also be exposed, and Ethan is also ready to be discovered.

However, he remembered that before he came in, he had taken down the lights on the stairs, smashed the light bulbs, and dumped the glass shards on the ground!

In other words, no matter what, if you want to come in, you should step on glass shards and make a sound!

Why now, I didn't hear any sound of glass shards being crushed, but I heard knocking on the door directly?

Ethan frowned, picked up the pistol at the side, and focused on guarding the direction of the door.

"My own." The person who came to the door said as if he knew what Ethan was doing inside.

"...one of our own?" Ethan thought for a while, hid behind the wall, and asked with his back. He was worried that the people outside the door would just listen to the voice and shoot, "Who are you?"

"I am the IRS expatriate commissioner," said the person outside the door, "Ethan Hunt, you have been involved in a tax evasion case. I need to obtain some information from you now, and I need your cooperation. To catch CIA moles who earn illicit income but don't pay taxes."

Ethan: "???"

IRS dispatched commissioner to arrest CIA mole who obtained illegal income but did not pay taxes?

"Can't you find an excuse that sounds a little more plausible?" Ethan was speechless.

He was even a little amused.

Is this person fooling himself for a fool?

"Heh, believe it or not, Ethan," the person outside the door chuckled, "Our goals are the same."

Chapter 22 Everything Can Be FBI

"Will this make me believe you," Ethan said, "How did you find this place?"

"I've been by your side today, Ethan," said the man outside the door.

"Let me help you recall. In the consulate, when the deputy director asked you how the drama was and you answered boring, I remember you scanned around, then... Think about it, the person standing in the direction of your nine o'clock The blond man taking a glass of wine from the waiter's tray."

"Also, when you failed to negotiate with Eugene and were misunderstood as a spy, that blond man passing by outside the Aqua Cafe."

The person outside the door added, "If you still don't believe it..."

"Needless to say." Following the words of the people outside the door, those two pictures had already appeared in Ethan's mind. At that time, his mind was overwhelmed by the news. Although he had remembered it, he did not remember it. Link the two together.

Only now, after being pointed out, did he realize that these two people look the same, they are the same person!

"Although this is the case, how do you prove that you are not a CIA agent?" Ethan asked.

"If I were an agent of the CIA, talking with you for so long would be enough to lay a net outside, and then attack directly in one fell swoop, Ethan,"

The people outside the door seemed to be speechless about Ethan's doubts, "Although your appearance can be compared with mine, but your brain seems to be not very bright?"

Ethan's face darkened.

At this time, he also realized how stupid the question he asked before was.

If the person outside the door was really an agent of the CIA, how could he take such a course of action against himself who was almost certain to be a traitor—knocking on the door before coming in, and talking so much to himself?

Even if you have to make perfect preparations, such a long time is completely enough!

Until now, the other party did not take any action. Instead, he stood outside the door and had such a patient conversation with himself. This already explained the fact that the other party was almost impossible to be a CIA agent.

After all, I just blew up a safe spot...

"I think, you probably don't dare to come and open the door yourself, so I'll just open the door and come in by myself, is that okay?" the person outside the door asked.

Hearing this, Ethan's face became solemn: "Yes."

After all, Ethan held the pistol, squatted half down, and pointed in the direction of the door.

Although it is certain that the other party is not a CIA agent, Ethan is still not sure what the other party's identity is. In this case, he must be on guard.

But it's not a problem to stop the other party outside and just freeze like this, so the meeting between the two is necessary.

"Then, I opened the door and came in," said the person outside the door. "Be careful of the muzzle of the gun, and don't let it go off."

After finishing speaking, the door lock twisted, and with a click, it was slowly pushed open.

Ethan was on guard with all his heart. While watching the gate, he was also guarding against other directions to prevent things from happening.

However, no accidents happened, the door was completely pushed open, and the visitor walked into the room, revealing his appearance under the light.

Ethan pointed his pistol straight at the visitor and moved, "Come in, close the door."

"Of course." The blond man smiled, closed the door casually, and took off his coat. This action made Ethan nervous, "Don't move!"

"Don't get excited," the blond man paused, shook his head and smiled, "I'm not an enemy."

"How can I believe you?" Ethan frowned tightly. Although the blond man didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything, he was too relaxed.

This made Ethan feel a little strange, so naturally he didn't dare to relax his guard, and as he said, the blond man hadn't shown any evidence that Ethan could trust.

"Of course it depends on the certificates," the blond man said, took out a few certificates and documents from his satchel, put them on the table beside him, pushed to Ethan who was on the other side of the table, and pointed Pointing, beckoning, "Let's take a look?"

"Certificates can be forged," Ethan said, "I don't want to do too many things like this."

"But the information is not necessarily the case," the blond man chuckled, "Why don't you take a look first?"

Hearing this, Ethan could only look at the blond man warily, while pulling out a fruit knife from the side, and fiddled with the documents with the fruit knife. He didn't dare to touch them with his hands rashly, worried that he might fall into some trap, and took a quick look to see the documents. The blond-haired man was very wary.

The blond man didn't move at all, he still looked at Ethan quietly with a smile on his face.

"No," who knows, Ethan just flipped through an ID and glanced at it, then stopped looking, and pointed a gun at the blond man with both hands, "You are lying to me! This ID is not yours!"

Blonde man: "..."

"What?" The blond man looked confused, "It's not mine? Are you kidding me?"

"It should be me, are you joking with me?" Ethan was very angry, "Do you think I am blind? The document shows a black-haired and yellow-skinned Asian!"

Blonde man: "..."

"Hmm... I seem to have forgotten something," the blond man was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, wait for me to remove some makeup."

After all, the blond man raised his hand, grabbed his face, and pulled it hard!

The disguised face was directly torn off, revealing the true face underneath.

Ethan, who saw this scene, was not stunned. He himself used it. This is a high imitation mask. Once worn, it is just like the real one. It is extremely thin and can transmit body temperature. As long as it is not damaged, basically You won't even be able to see it!

It's just that Ethan is even more vigilant.

"With such equipment, you still say you are not from the CIA? Where is Eugene? Let him come out!" Ethan growled in a low voice.

"Why do you say I'm from the CIA?" Zhou Yi sighed, pointing to the certificate, "Can't you see the IRS written on it?"

Ethan: "..."

He lowered his head and glanced at the ID card quickly, but the time was too short, so Ethan had to pick it up with one hand, and then raised it to a position parallel to the muzzle of the gun. While comparing and identifying it, he found that it was really a IRS ID!

As an elite CIA agent, Ethan uses a variety of identities, and there are many, among them are the identities of employees of other departments in the United States.

For example, as we all know, everything can be FBI. All American agents have an FBI agent ID card. As long as necessary, they can be FBI agents at any time, no matter whether it is top pot or top pot or top pot!

FBI: "I *&%&¥##¥%!!!"

Therefore, Ethan and the others can also identify the authenticity of the certificate, but now, Ethan finds out that the certificate seems to be...Really?

Chapter 24 We are IRS friendly

"The certificate is real, I think you can see it, when, if you insist on arguing with me about the possibility of forging a 'real' certificate, then I have nothing to say."

However, Zhou Yi did not continue to play this kind of you-say-I-answer game with Ethan, and went straight to the topic: "But Ethan, what I want to say is that time is running out."

"What does it mean that there is not much time?" Ethan frowned. In fact, he basically believed in Zhou Yi's identity, but the environment and things he was in now made him only cautious.

"There are indeed traitors in your team," Zhou Yi didn't answer, but changed the subject, "I know it wasn't you, you were framed."

"Why?" Ethan felt that today should be the day he asked the most why.

"Because of IQ," Zhou Yi pointed to his head, "That spy intends to blame you, and there are indeed many doubts about you, but the problem lies in that there are too many doubts about you, and they are too obvious."

"A huge sum of money is almost directly transferred to your parents' account," Zhou Yi said up to this point, shaking his head, "To be honest, I really don't know what kind of thinking that traitor has. To do something with such a huge loophole... If you are really a traitor, will you let him transfer the money directly to your parents' account?"

"Of course not," Ethan shook his head, "I'll let him transfer it to an unregistered black account, and then turn the money into legal and checkable income through various cash withdrawal and deposit operations, or directly in the Spend it where you can't find it."

"That's it. First of all, the money came in so straightforwardly. It was like rubbing my IQ on the ground."

Zhou Yi spread his hands and said: "Of course, I think, your boss should have seen this too... um... Maybe, but he still designated you as a traitor, do you know why?"

"I know," Ethan replied, not as alert as before, "because I was the only one who survived."

"That's it. You are the only one who survived. That's why your boss thinks you're a mole. The money is just a not-so-convincing addition."

Zhou Yi snapped his fingers: "Then, now, what I want to tell you is - there are still people in your team who are still alive."

"What?" Ethan's eyes widened when he heard this, "What did you say?"

"I think they shouldn't be that stupid, and they also know that the money transferred to your parents' account won't be of much use, so they made such a plan to get everyone in the team apart from you." kill'."

"Then, you are the only one left. Even if the evidence is insufficient or even a bit strong, what can you do? The traitor can't kill himself, right?"

Zhou Yi was talking while spreading out the few documents on the desktop.

"You mean, someone faked his death?" Ethan was not a fool, and he also reacted at this time, "Who is it..."

"That's right, some people died in fake mode, and some people died in real time. Presumably you can also know that people who died in fake mode are of course the most suspected," Zhou Yi spread out the information, "These documents are detailed information about everyone in your team. But now, we can discard a few copies first..."

"First of all, that technician," Zhou Yi took out a copy, shook it, and put the documents aside, "He died, he died... very miserable, but I saw later that the CIA people collected the body, at least, still To be able to get a decent funeral."

"The second one is the one who acted with you, Sarah," Zhou Yi pulled out another copy, "She also died, but the team of agents also recovered her body."

"The third one, Hannah... CIA agents have already cleaned up the wreckage after the car exploded." Zhou Yi took out another copy and put it away.

"...And then?" Ethan asked seeing that Zhou Yi didn't make any further moves.

"That's it," Zhou Yi picked up the remaining three documents and handed them to Ethan, "My principle is—to see the dead body."

"Me, Jim, and Claire..." Ethan frowned when he saw this, "Jim is dead, I saw him being shot and fell into the water with my own eyes, and Claire, I remember she was in the car inside, and then the car exploded."

"As long as you control the direction, even if you hit the abdomen, it will be a hemorrhage at most," Zhou Yi said, "Jim fell off the bridge after being hit, and then disappeared. As for Claire... she is not in the car , there is only one body among the wreckage, and that is Hannah's."

"What?" Ethan frowned, "It's impossible, I saw it with my own eyes..."

"If you see it with your own eyes, there may be problems," Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "I only believe in evidence, as I said, death is about seeing the corpse, and now, there is no evidence to prove that the two of them are dead. gone."

"..." Ethan was silent for a while, and asked, "What do you mean by time is running out?"

"If according to my guess, the two people were suspended animation, then it means that either the other two are moles, or one of them must be a mole."

While talking, Zhou Yi came to Ethan's dining table, took out a small bug from below, and showed it to Ethan, "In the information, your arrangement is for the team to gather at four o'clock in the morning, but now..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yi looked down at the watch on his wrist, "03:30 in the morning, it's time for me to leave."

"If your team members come back later, then you must pretend that you don't know anything, understand?"

Zhou Yi took out a mobile phone from his clothes, and handed it to Ethan: "This mobile phone has been encrypted, and there is only one phone number in it. You can use it to contact me. If your team members come back later, then you can also contact me." It means that the other party has a bigger plan, and it needs to use you to achieve it."

"So, I need to pretend, cooperate, and pretend that I'm looking for the real mole?" Ethan took the phone, looked it over and asked.

"It's not pretending," Zhou Yi corrected, "Do as you originally wanted to do, find out that traitor, do what you should do, the conversation between us, you need to pretend that it didn't happen, I will follow Be by your side, provide you with timely help, and collect enough evidence."

"What do you need evidence for?" Ethan asked, "You can't really be an IRS expatriate, are you?"

"As long as it is income, whether it is legal or illegal, it is within the scope of taxation." Zhou Yi put on his overcoat, put away the materials and documents he brought, and said with a smile, "Our IRS people are Very friendly, as long as...don't evade taxes."
