1417 Confession
Horn sat at the table and ate fast food, burgers, French fries, hot dogs, and some beef cubes.
These things are almost "street treasures". In the fast-paced city of Bupen, people will not think they are so low-grade.
It's interesting.
The glamorous people on Bupen Road refuse to eat at cheap roadside restaurants, but they don't mind spending more than a dollar on a hot dog or something for lunch.
So on the streets of Bupen, from noon to about six o'clock in the evening, various food trucks can be seen everywhere.
"Did you abuse him?" As soon as the military personnel responsible for the interrogation came in, they couldn't help but cover their mouths with a folder and asked softly to the investigation bureau officer beside them.
For such an important interrogation, all videos will be retained.
It would be fine if there were no problems, but if there were problems, every step would be rehearsed, including the conversations between their interrogators, which would also be recorded. .
Both the FBI and the military have lip reading experts, and the reason for covering up the situation a little is to prevent certain situations from spreading.
We can't let everyone know that he said this, it's like the Bureau of Investigation really has a suspect of abuse!
The FBI official shook his head, "We have no habit of abusing suspects."
He glanced thoughtfully at the military interrogation experts. He heard that the military liked to use torture. Most of the people taken away by the military were either successfully sentenced and thrown into prison to die. It's impossible to survive.
Otherwise, completely disappear from people's sight.
As if he noticed something in the eyes of half of his peers, the military interrogation master smiled and looked back.
Several doors controlled by soldiers were opened, and the military major walked in, as well as people from the FBI.
Everything on them, especially those that could kill, has been removed.
Even without a pencil, all recordings were recorded by outside monitors.
The federal government has made great efforts to ensure Horn's safety.
After the two entered the room, they did not disturb Horn, but watched him finish everything in front of them.
When he eats these things, he feels very special, as if... these things are particularly delicious, so delicious that no one can refuse them!
Until this moment, he sighed contentedly from his throat, and that lazy voice was filled with something called "security".
He licked the remaining sauce on his fingers and said, "I'm sorry, I almost didn't eat anything during this time..."
He has been hiding in the water tower since he was discovered by the people sent by the Duncan family to capture him.
The other party seemed to have determined that he was still in that small town, and kept searching the surrounding areas without leaving the town.
When the first search ended, he thought it was over. Unexpectedly, they started a second time and a third time!
Several times the men climbed up the water tower, but fortunately his disguise was very good.
He did not keep the entire water tower in a sealed state, so that people outside could not see what was inside, and there would definitely be deep doubts.
He deliberately made a hole in the upper part of the water tank so that the contents of the water tower could be seen from above.
Moss, some decaying sediment, and lifeless water.
And he used the difference of vision to hide himself in a place between the water tower and the bottom.
This entrance needs to be entered from the bottom water pipe. After searching several times, those people found that there was nothing and left.
If they choose to break the water tower or drain all the water from the water tower, they will find that a reasonable part of the space is actually hidden.
This was accomplished by Horn at great expense. He took advantage of his identity as the developer of Paradise Island to secretly arrange the water tower, and then deliberately destroyed it and left it abandoned.
A few years makes it seem like it's a long time old.
If these people ask the old people in the town, maybe they can get the answer. At least it is a reminder that the construction of this water tower did not take as long as people think!
But all this is in the past. In this small space, Horn hid for a long time. The food he stored was only enough for a few days, but they searched here for a week, which made him almost useless in the next few days. Nothing to eat.
If they hadn't really been unable to find Horn, and suspected that he had really left here, those people might have continued searching.
After they left, Horn immediately bought a ticket to Bupain. Those people would not think that he would go to Bupain in this situation. No one stopped him or arrested him during the whole process.
After surrendering, he was detained here and completely relaxed.
He knew where those people came from and why they were looking for him.
As one of the front-end characters controlled by the Duncan family, he is not a complete puppet.
If he was just a fool, the Duncan family would not look down on such a person.
He has his own talents and wisdom. He did not explain anything immediately, but waited for things to continue to ferment.
He has been living here for three days, and it seems that the matter has almost reached its climax. The people responsible for interrogating him are no longer the FBI, but also the military.
This means that the Duncan family's "negotiation plan" to secretly negotiate with the federal government may have failed, or at least it has not made any real progress.
And this time is exactly the right time to say something.
He determined the attitude of the federal government, and naturally he wanted to side with the federal government.
"What do you want to know from me?" Horn wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then looked at the military people.
If you want to take action against the Duncan family, you can't rely on the FBI.
They may be able to perform well during the investigation phase, but when it comes to taking action, they are not so safe.
The Duncan family has penetrated the federal government beyond people's imagination. A large number of federal government officials are directly or indirectly "funded" by the Duncan family, and the entire government system has become less safe.
Even now, the Duncan family already knew that Horn had surrendered, and even knew that he was being held here.
Some are people who are willing to take certain risks to deliver information for them. After all, the benefits they get from helping them sometimes exceed their lifetime benefits from working in the FBI.
even more!
But the military is different. The Duncan family's penetration into the military is far less than their penetration into government agencies. In some ways, the military is the "industry" of certain families.
They won't allow anyone else to do this! !
The military is the real main force!
The major officer put some documents on the table and sat across from Horn. "Is Geruno controlling Paradise Island behind the scenes?"
It's very direct and goes to the core right from the start.
Horn thought for a moment and shook his head, "If you hope to lock Mr. Geruno directly from here, then I will definitely let you down!"
"I know the Duncan family very well, and I know their methods. As long as we are just a little bit wrong, just a little bit!"
Horn smiled, "They have a way of making all our efforts become phantoms, so I will truthfully tell you what I have mastered, but if you want me to bite randomly, I'm sorry that I can't. "
Needless to say, if the Duncan family is to be overthrown, justice and fairness must be ensured, even if it only seems so.
Because the entire trial process requires the participation of a jury, as long as there are people involved, there must be controllable factors.
The jury system is not perfect, because the people on the jury cannot represent the people of the entire federation, and they cannot represent justice in this world!
They can be taken advantage of and make poor judgments.
If a key witness lies about something, it is possible that his or her subsequent testimony will not be credible in the eyes of the jury.
The major officer nodded, "So tell me how you are connected with the Duncan family..."
This story begins eight years ago. It was the end of the World War and the world was full of people fleeing. During the war, some people disappeared and no one noticed anything.
Horn White first engaged in smuggling people from other countries to the Federation, charging each person fifteen hundred dollars.
He has been doing this business for a long time, and it can be said that he made his first money quickly.
Later, for some reason, his business was known to a young man from the Duncan family, who then contacted him and became a partner with him.
His smuggling business began to escalate. In addition to ordinary smuggling work, he also worked to collect some "samples" for the young people of the Duncan family.
Sometimes it's those young and beautiful women, sometimes it's those handsome young men, sometimes it's...
Young people in the Duncan family will pay a lot of money for these samples, which is much more than just smuggling.
More importantly, with the business card of this young man from the Duncan family, Horn can easily meet most of the government officials he wants to meet, and these people will give him some face.
A successful businessman, in addition to being ruthless, also needs to be good at seizing opportunities.
The business between them grew bigger and bigger, and it was only at this time that Horn learned that there were many smuggling teams that had cooperation with the Duncan family, not just him!
Coupled with their own slave-catching team, this is already an astonishing number!
After the war, the number of smugglers decreased, and business became less easy to do.
On such a day, Horn's contact suddenly asked him if he was willing to do a construction business.
For Horn, whose business is not so good, as long as there is enough profit, he can do it whether it is smuggling people or building a building!
