Chapter 193 Interrogation
About half an hour later, Ian was sat down on a cold chair, and his hands were handcuffed on the table. As soon as the hood was removed, he was illuminated by the dazzling light and couldn't open his eyes. It took him a while to squint.
Look around.
This is an interrogation room commonly seen on TV. The difference is that there is no camera in it, and there is no glass that cannot see the outside. It is a light-tight secret room.
"Officer, I think you are mistaken. I have not committed a crime. Even if I have committed a crime, I should be questioned in the presence of a lawyer." Ian said to the dark figure under the light.
"Hahaha... Do you deserve a lawyer for a scumbag like you? Don't you know what you have done?" The person on the other side suddenly shouted mockingly.
"I really don't know what extraordinary things I have done that deserve all your troubles to catch me. Officer, you'd better tell me directly."
"Bang!" A stack of paper materials was thrown in front of Ian. When Ian took a look at it, he was suddenly shocked.
"Ian, 24 years old, grew up in an orphanage in Rolla Town, Michigan. He was injured and hospitalized last winter. He mysteriously disappeared that night. At the beginning of this year, he was arrested on suspicion of participating in the X City subway bombing. He participated in a prison riot and escaped a few days later.
Then he and his prison mates extorted in S City, threatened local businessmen, organized and participated in a series of HB weapon fights, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. A few months later, he appeared in L City, acquired Morgan Pharmaceutical Company, and started a business using virus antidote.
Soon after, he went to Dragon Kingdom. After returning to the United States, he conquered HB in L City with the help of emerging DP such as Kiss of Death. You are now suspected of KB attack, blackmail, financial fraud, poisoning, murder, jailbreak, illegal arms sales, and hostile takeover.
, endangering national security... Do you still want me to continue reading?"
Ian was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that his affairs would be investigated so clearly. It seemed that he had been noticed for more than a day or two. I'm afraid he was going to be in big trouble this time. Moreover, there were many photos in the pile of information.
He didn't know how to refute.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say you were innocent just now? Why can't you say a word now?"
"Since you have investigated so clearly, do you still need me to speak?" Ian simply admitted it. At worst, he would leave the United States. He believed that no prison could hold him without knowing his true identity.
"When did you get in touch with the spies of the Dragon Kingdom? Who is your contact? What is your contact method..." The other party did not continue to talk to Ian, but immediately asked a series of questions to Ian.
Well, some confusing questions.
The other party asked a lot of questions, and Ian immediately understood that someone must have thought that he had an ulterior deal with the Dragon Kingdom and had arrested him as a spy.
After understanding this, Ian knew what to say: "Spies? Why should I contact the spies of the Dragon Kingdom? What's the benefit to me? I admit that the process of starting my business did violate the law, but in desperation,
What else can I do? Besides, after I acquired Morgan Pharmaceuticals, I paid more than one billion U.S. dollars in taxes to the City L government. Is this also a fault?"
"Not honest!" the other party yelled angrily.
Immediately afterwards, the man took out the electric baton from his lower back and began to torture Ian's body continuously, but Ian still denied it, and what he got in exchange was a new beating...
Electrocution, waterboarding, even whitewash, and lie detectors were used, but Ian still kept the same rhetoric.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Ian couldn't bear it anymore and was about to force his way out of here, a person who surprised Ian very much appeared.
"Oh, why did you end up like this? Don't you guys know that it's illegal to do this?" Solim, an arms dealer who had done business with Ian at the military expo, actually appeared at the door of the room.
After seeing Ian's appearance, he immediately scolded loudly.
"Mr. Ian, I had a hard time looking for you. If it weren't for the help of my friends in the Ministry of National Defense, I'm afraid no one would be able to find you." Solim's implication was that if it weren't for him, Ian would have been unable to find you.
Well, I'm afraid I'm going to die here.
But now Ian is no longer the little beggar in Rolla Town. He immediately understood that his arrest this time had nothing to do with this Solim.
"Mr. Solim, you must testify for me. I am a loyal American and definitely not a spy. If I were a spy, I would not have..." Before Ian could say anything,
His mouth was blocked by Solim.
"You go out first, Mr. Ian is a trustworthy person, I can guarantee that." Solim said firmly to the person in the room.
The man hesitated for a while before retreating, but of course Ian understood that all this was just a show by Solim, but he still didn't know what his purpose was.
"Well, Mr. Solim, you came just in time. If you had come a few hours later, I'm afraid I would have died here. It doesn't matter if I died here, my billions of dollars of assets would have been destroyed.
Others have usurped it." Ian said, and started to choke up. In terms of acting, Ian has been a beggar for several years. Without any acting skills, he would have starved to death long ago.
I don’t know if Solim believed it or not, but I just heard him say: "I just learned the news, so I quickly asked the people above to help with the activities. I was also surprised, how could you be arrested by these people? They are not the police.
ah."
"Not the police? Then who are they?"
"This is a secret base of the Department of Homeland Security. They are mainly responsible for eliminating factors that may harm the U.S. mainland."
"That's even more impossible. I make money from business and I don't evade taxes. How could I do harm to this free country?" When Ian said this, he even felt that his acting skills
It's very accurate, and it expresses the misunderstood attitude vividly.
"I have read their information when I came here before. Is everything above true?" Solim sighed and asked: "To be honest, if it is just something slightly illegal, after all,
You have paid enough taxes for the country now, so it's okay, but once you are involved in the crime of KB attack and endangering national security, even if the president comes, he can't save you."
"Well...well, I did it when I had no other choice, but I can assure you that I have never participated in a KB attack or endangered national security." Ian said confidently.
"I believe you, but it's not that easy for the people above to believe you. After all, you have been to the Dragon Kingdom, and the relationship between the Dragon Kingdom and the United States, you know, is not that harmonious, so you have to find a way
Prove your sincerity and innocence." Solim said pointedly.
Ian thought carefully about Solim's words. What did he mean by that? Could he help him eliminate those previous charges? What's more, he asked me to prove my sincerity and innocence. What exactly did he want me to do?
?
Solim is an arms dealer, what does he want?
