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

Although someone has already deeply understood the saying that misfortunes never come alone, it does not mean that he can calmly accept the bad news that comes one after another.

It was already evening when Jack and Danny returned to the office. Before they could sit down and catch their breath, Kono returned from the crime lab and brought back extremely bad news.

The large bag of clothing sent to the crime laboratory has been confirmed to be contaminated with the smallpox virus. Researchers are handling these dangerous items carefully, hoping to extract enough biological samples such as hair for DNA comparison.

But some things can be known without testing, such as the sizes of clothes and pants. The researchers confirmed at least four different sizes in the large bag of clothes, and also found four smashed mobile phones.

It was somewhat of luck that Kono was able to find these things based on Palmer's phone, because only the screen of his phone was smashed and the damage was not thorough enough.

"That means we have at least three more victims, and there's a chance they're still alive."

Danny was about to explode with anger. The real person in charge of "Five-O" was Steve McGarrett, and as an assistant he was just filling in for the moment, otherwise he would not have dragged his injured "nephew" around with him.

As a result, after a day of investigating the case, the shadow of "biochemical terrorist attack" was still lingering over their heads, and now three potential victims whose lives or deaths were unknown had emerged.

Oahu is not very big, but it is home to more than two-thirds of the population of the entire state of Hawaii, with a resident population of nearly one million, not including tourists.

It is not easy to find three people who may be infected with smallpox virus in such a large crowd in a short period of time.

"Don't panic." Jack quickly calmed Danny down, "Brian Palmer's sudden appearance was obviously an accident, and even the murderer didn't expect it, so he hastily dealt with Ken Tanner, who knew about it.

The other three may have been used as virus test subjects and were under the control of the other party.

The top priority now is to find out their identities. Waiting for DNA comparison is obviously not a good idea. Let the crime laboratory prioritize testing the SIM cards in the damaged phones. This is the fastest way.

And the fingerprints extracted from Ken Tanner's home, have you got any matching results yet?"

The second half of his sentence was directed to Cheng Hao, who was busy in front of the computer instead of Kono. The latter was frowning at the screen at this time. Hearing this, he seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly operated the mouse to click the print button.

"I didn't find any information in the local criminal database, but just now, your colleague in New York found the owner of this fingerprint from the federal database."

While he was talking, the printer had started to creak and spit out many sheets of A4 paper.

"Everything is here. This guy has a strange name. Is he called Dracula Komescu?"

Danny had just taken the information, and when he heard the name, he slapped his forehead before he even read it. "So, in addition to the ancient deadly virus, we now have to deal with ancient vampires, right?"

"Maybe. Anyway, it says that this guy is Romanian." Cheng Hao shrugged.

Jack did not join in the two people's antics. His attention was attracted by the information that Cheng Hao put on the screen. The information was not very detailed, but a note on it caught his attention.

"This name was actually marked by NCIS?"

"What do you mean this name has been marked by NCIS?" Danny stopped looking at the information and curiously leaned over to join the discussion.

Jack was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang. He thought it was his friend in New York calling him, but it turned out to be an unfamiliar landline number. Judging from the area code, it was from Los Angeles.

Could it be that Chris wanted to talk to him about something? Thinking of this, he pressed the call button, but the strange voice coming from the other end of the phone startled him.

"Hello, Agent Jake Tawalla. I am Heidi Lange, the operations supervisor of the Special Projects Office of the NCIS. I heard that you were unfortunately injured not long ago. I was wondering if this would affect your future work."

"Uh" Hearing this slightly old female voice, the image of a thin and petite old lady instantly appeared in Jack's eyes, and he shuddered involuntarily.

"Hello, Director Heidi Lange, I'm honored to have your concern. I'm fine and I'm almost well now."

He didn't expect that before he had any dealings with the famous NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service), the first thing he came into contact with was OSP, a special department affiliated with NCIS.

In Jack's previous life, there was a spin-off of NCIS called NCIS: Los Angeles, which at first sounds like a local NCIS office located in Los Angeles.

But in fact, as the other party introduced himself on the phone just now, the full name of this special department under NCIS headquartered in Los Angeles is the Office of Special Projects, abbreviated as OSP, which together is NCIS-OSP.

OSP is responsible for some special secret cases within the Navy, and the confidentiality level may even be higher than that of ordinary NCIS agents.

Of course, this is not the reason why Jack was so respectful. After all, generally speaking, the FBI and NCIS are two completely unrelated departments.

NCIS is part of the Pentagon and is responsible for investigating any crime that has even a shred of evidence linking Navy and Marine Corps personnel.

Perhaps under certain special circumstances there will be some communication between the two parties, but the division of labor will only be based on the actual situation of the case at that time. Case A may be led by NCIS, while Case B may be led by FBI. There is no meaningful superior-subordinate relationship.

The real reason why Jack is so nervous now is because of Heidi Lange, the person on the other end of the phone. In the original drama, this little old lady is a mysterious figure with extremely high prestige, who even the Secretary of the Navy has to treat with respect.

Judging from seniority and age, she and old CIA Joe Mason were active in the same era. In terms of seniority alone, she may be older than Bald Frank. She is a legendary spy who truly survived the Cold War.

Although Jack had never seen this legendary old lady in this world, he knew that she was one of the few old friends of Joe Mason who was still alive and with whom he still kept in touch.

Based on this point alone, it would not be excessive for him to be so serious at this moment.

Heidi Lange on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised that Jack seemed to know her, and even let out a few strange hoarse laughs.

"You are a little too nervous, young man. I have heard about your deeds and I really hope to have another excellent agent like you under my command, but Rossi seems to be keeping a close eye on you."

Well, from this sentence Jack can at least be sure of one thing, that this old lady should not be some "little XX" of his teacher.
