Chapter 770 The Truth Behind Verines’ Poisoning
At 5:30 pm, in a lakeside cottage in the woods between New York and New Jersey.
At this time, Winslow had also arrived here. After Henderson told him everything he knew, Roan asked Winslow to escort him into the car. At this time, there were only Roan, Chenier and Etwang-Jones in the lakeside cottage.
On the chair in the middle of the house, Etwang-Jones saw Roan's complicated eyes:
"You are very good, Team Leader Greenwood."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Roan smiled and said:
"Can you answer my question? Why did you poison Verines?"
Etwang-Jones took a deep breath and answered helplessly:
"Because I want revenge, I want to make meritorious contributions, and I want to live."
Etwang-Jones said that the polonium 210 that poisoned Verines did come from his nuclear laboratory.
His nuclear laboratory has been producing polonium 210 for many years. The person who asked Etwang-Jones to produce polonium 210 and supervised him was his superior, Ulysses, the manager of the headquarters of Illinois Nuclear Power Energy Company.
"Ulysses has connections with people in federal government agencies."
Since he had decided to tell everything, Etwang-Jones leaned back and changed to a more comfortable posture, saying:
"The person investigating polonium 210 is Verines. This news was heard by Ulysses from the federal government and then told to me."
Etwang-Jones said that he was actually unwilling to produce polonium 210. He wanted to spend more time on other nuclear-related experiments. He had to do it because of Ulysses' threats.
A year ago, a student that Etwang-Jones liked very much accidentally learned about this matter, but was soon secretly killed by the killer sent by the manager Ulysses. This made Etwang-Jones feel cold in his heart. He felt that it might be his final fate.
A few days ago, manager Ulysses contacted Etwang-Jones and told him that the FBI had begun investigating polonium 210, and told him about the investigator Verines, asking him to suspend his work these days.
Etwang-Jones said coldly:
"So I decided to strike first."
In Etwang-Jones' plan, he used some means to find the killer Henderson and asked him to poison Verines.
Poisoning was not Etwang-Jones's purpose. His real purpose was to put all the blame on manager Ulysses.
After Verines was poisoned, Etwang-Jones would use some means to attract her to his laboratory for investigation.
During Verines' investigation, Etwang-Jones would take the initiative to help Verines examine the bodies of the agents in their investigation team, and then "accidentally" discovered that Verines had been poisoned.
On the one hand, this could reduce his suspicion, and on the other hand, he had forged the online chat records with Henderson.
As long as Verines poisoning forces them to suspend the investigation, other FBI will start investigating and will inevitably follow the online chat records to find the guy who hired the killer, the manager Ulysses.
When the killer Henderson disappears, all the evidence points to the manager Ulysses. Etwang-Jones will come out to testify that he made polonium 210 under the threat of Ulysses over the years, and Ulysses will eventually go to jail.
As for Etwang-Jones himself, he will say at that time that he was only forced to make polonium 210.
He doesn't know how the polonium 210 will be used later. Verines poisoning has nothing to do with him, so his final punishment will not be too severe.
After Etwang-Jones finished his brief account, Chenier frowned, and Roan pondered for a few seconds before asking:
"What happened to Henderson kidnapping you today?"
"Damn it."
Hearing Roan's question, Etwang-Jones's face suddenly darkened:
"This dishonest guy wants to rob his fellow thieves!"
After the poisoning was successful, Etwang-Jones prepared to find a way to attract Verines to his laboratory for investigation.
As a result, Etwang-Jones never expected that Henderson would contact him again:
"Etwang-Jones, you don't want the FBI to know that you hired someone to poison Verines, right?"
Henderson began to use this matter to blackmail Etwang-Jones. At first, Etwang-Jones used words to prevaricate the other party because he found that the plan had an accident. Verines was actually found to be poisoned in other nuclear laboratories. This made Etwang-Jones anxious and had to find a way to modify the plan.
On the other hand, Henderson was getting more and more impatient. He felt that Etwang-Jones didn't take him seriously at all, so he tied Etwang-Jones up today and talked to him face to face about this matter.
This was also the reason why Etwang-Jones praised Luo An just now. Henderson didn't trust Etwang-Jones in the first place. Luo An was keenly aware of this point. With just a few simple words, he created an unbreakable prisoner's dilemma for the two of them.
"Hire a killer to poison Verines, pretend to accidentally find her poisoned, clear your suspicion, make false evidence, and let the FBI mistakenly believe that Ulysses was the mastermind behind the scenes..."
Chenier counted Etwang-Jones' plan on her fingers, frowned and asked:
"You spent so much effort to toss around, why don't you just buy off the killer and let him kill Manager Ulysses?"
"I just said that there is someone behind Ulysses."
Etwang-Jones glanced at Chenier and explained:
"If I find someone to kill Ulysses directly, the people behind him will soon find another person to take his place, and I will continue to make polonium 210.
Not only that, the people behind him will definitely investigate the cause of Ulysses' death. Once the truth is found, I will be finished."
Everything Etwang-Jones did was to make the FBI and the people behind Ulysses believe that everything was Ulysses' plan, and it was his plan that went wrong that caused all this to happen. Etwang-Jones was just an implicated pawn.
After everyone's attention was attracted by Ulysses, Etwang-Jones quietly avoided the incident, went to jail for a short time, and then left the nuclear laboratory, and finally survived and spent the rest of his life well.
Chenier frowned and fell silent. Luo An thought for a moment and then asked:
"You said there is someone behind Ulysses. Who is that person?"
"Not sure."
Etwang-Jones spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know much about this matter, and then added:
"But the manager Ulysses and the senior executive of Illinois Nuclear Energy Company, President and CEO Leighton Perelman, who made a lot of noise in newspapers and TV a few days ago and was eventually shot in the head by the killer from a distance, are closely related."
"..."
Chenier looked surprised, Luo An's eyelids jumped, and then asked for a moment, and then asked Chenier to take Etwang-Jones out of the room and send him to the car.
Henderson, the killer, and Etwang-Jones, the head of the nuclear laboratory, were handed over to the agents secretly sent by Mr. Clement, and Luo An and the other two had a simple dinner together.
After drinking the water in the cup, Winslow wiped his mouth and asked:
"Should we go arrest the manager Ulysses next?"
Chenelle, who was still eating, nodded in agreement. After swallowing her food, she continued:
"In addition, I feel that the person behind Ulysses is probably the CIA."
"The probability is very high."
Roan took a big bite of steak and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. He pressed the answer button and Clement said in a serious tone:
"Roan, it's an emergency. You should lead the team to catch someone!"
