The world of American TV series: Starting with the L.A. Patrol.

When Jack returned to the NICS-OSP operations center, Danny and his team had already obtained information about the person who purchased the smallpox virus from Jarod Broadman.

"Dr. Rachel Horton, epidemiologist at the Malibu Cancer Research Center. Information is still being gathered, but this name is not on any 'lists,' including yours, the FBI."

The "list" that Karen mentioned mainly refers to the "terrorist watch list". Because the number of people on it is as high as millions, a screening database (TSDB) was specially established for this purpose. The FBI is mainly responsible for maintaining this list.

"The FBI Los Angeles office will send someone to take Broadman away later to ensure that he receives the trial he deserves. I hope you can understand and cooperate with this."

Hearing Jack's slightly official words, Karen and Hannah smiled at each other, and the latter was even more blunt, "Can you make sure he gets a shot?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Using a Class A selective agent to commit murder meets the crime of using biological weapons to attack American citizens. The death penalty is certain."

Jack also smiled in response. The reason why he was in a hurry to have the FBI take Broadman away after the interrogation was that he didn't want him to stay in the hands of the military and cause any trouble.

The selective agents he refers to here refer to all microorganisms and toxins that can be used in biological and chemical weapons.

Broadman was once a highly respected epidemiologist in Pittsburgh, but he was disgraced for falsifying experimental data several years ago and was soon forced out of academia.

Divorced and bankrupt, he had been living in seclusion in Hawaii for several years until he was approached by Dracula Comescu and began to experiment and improve the accidentally discovered smallpox virus.

Although he did not make much progress in just a few weeks due to the short time, judging from the current situation, this epidemiologist still has some real skills.

At least he did extend the incubation period of the virus, which is actually quite scary in terms of transmission.

Although the possibility is not high, in order to prevent this guy from being noticed by certain people in the military and then sent to Fort Detrick for some terrible research, Jack can't wait to control Broadman in the hands of the FBI.

It was obvious that Karen and Hannah shared his idea, so they were very cooperative.

"OK, it's pretty much confirmed that the smallpox virus was in the hands of Dr. Rachel Horton, but we know almost nothing about her other than she was working at the Malibu Cancer Center.

The intelligence gathering on her has just begun, and we need to find out as soon as possible whether this doctor obtained these deadly viruses for money like Broadman, or intends to spread them. "

Karen said to Jack in a pointed way, "So we need your judgment, Jack, to do your kind of uh. profile on her?"

Jack accepted the task straightforwardly. "No problem. The FBI will conduct simultaneous investigations on her, and the Operations Center in the New York office will also provide support. Once sufficient information is obtained, I will immediately make a psychological profile report."

He paused here, thinking of the funny scene he saw in the morning, and asked, "Do you think it's possible to start with vaccines?"

"What do you mean?" Danny and Cheng Hao, who were chewing chicken rolls on the side, also became interested.

Jack thought and organized his words, "Well, what I mean is that those who want to get the virus, or have already obtained the virus, must be fully aware of its dangers.

So is it possible for them to take some precautions for themselves in advance? For example, like us, get vaccinated against smallpox."

Cheng Hao asked in confusion, "But except for the military and certain medical institutions, ordinary people cannot get access to smallpox vaccine. After all, the smallpox virus has been extinct for half a century."

"Yes, so if as a normal person the only way to get this vaccine is"

Karen's eyes lit up, and she and Danny said in unison, "Theft."

"From a military base or a state health department," Jack finished their sentence.

It was much quicker to sift through the LAPD database for suspected burglary cases than to investigate the unknown Dr. Rachel Horton.

This is also thanks to the furry and funny Maddy Dix, who has not officially joined NCIS, so Karen used the title of LAPD liaison officer when introducing him before.

With his experience as a detective, he quickly identified a burglary case that occurred two weeks ago in Torrance. The suspect was named Gabriel Martial, who stole some medicines from a local state health agency.

Since the suspect was not caught red-handed and his identity was only confirmed from surveillance footage, and because pills were involved, the LAPD's theft unit handed the case over to the narcotics unit.

Perhaps because the case value was too small, it was not taken seriously and the file is currently being buried under a pile of pending cases of an unknown LAPD detective.

NCIS technical support staff identified two boxes of smallpox vaccine in the list provided by the stolen health agency and immediately retrieved Gabriel Martial's criminal record.

Then they unexpectedly discovered that this guy had been in contact with a militia organization that believed in extremist ideas.

"'ELE', the full name of which is 'Enforced Law Enforcement Team', is responsible for protecting the border and preventing illegal immigrants from entering the US border. They once drove off-road vehicles and shot at unarmed civilians on the border.

I thought we had completely destroyed this militia two years ago?" Hannah gave everyone a brief introduction with a puzzled look on his face.

"Obviously you didn't kill all of them." Danny flipped through the information in his hand. "In this case, at least the logic makes sense. The best way to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the United States is to kill them all."

"At least it can force the top leaders to close the border for a long time. There is no better way than a new century's 'Black Death'." Grandma Heidi appeared in the conference room at some point.

She nodded to the group. "Go ahead, boys, stop these bastards."

Torrance is a satellite town in the Greater Los Angeles area, less than 30 kilometers south of Los Angeles. The beach with the same name is also quite famous. It is an emerging city with a mix of industry and residential areas and some tourism.

Gabriel Martial and his four accomplices were hiding in an RV near Torrance Beach. It was already afternoon when everyone arrived there, and the beach was still crowded with tourists.

"There are three people in the car and two sitting outside. So should we follow the standard procedure or make a quick decision?" Karen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, put down the binoculars and looked at the others.
