Chapter 659: Battle of wits and courage

Smith didn't want to push too hard, and agreed to Duan Yu's proposal, there are many cafes on the campus of Columbia University, the environment is quiet and stylish, and some of them also have a lot of books and magazines that are rarely seen outside, and Duan Yu occasionally comes to sit. [This site changes the new domain name.] com initial, previously registered accounts can still be used]

There were FBI agents who went over to clear the scene first, and when Duan Yu and them passed, there were no other customers in the café, Duan Yu naturally knew that it was Smith and they did it, so he didn't break it, and found a window seat and sat down.

Smith sat down opposite Duan Yu, but his subordinates didn't follow up, they were all guarding outside, preventing idlers and others from entering.

Duan Yu asked for a cup of Blue Mountain coffee, anyway, Smith was a treat, he naturally wouldn't save money for the FBI, but Smith ordered a cup of tea and sighed: "I like to drink Huaxia tea very much, we call it 'magical oriental leaves', drinking it can prolong life, Chinese culture is really broad and profound......."

Smith didn't rush to set Duan Yu's words, but chatted with him about tea culture, Duan Yu of course knew that he wanted to let himself relax his vigilance, but Smith was not in a hurry, he naturally wouldn't be in a hurry, he grew up in Nanyun Province, Nanyun Province is a major tea-producing province in China, and his understanding of tea culture is naturally far more than Smith's, a half-hung "Huaxia Tong".

In the end, Smith couldn't hold his breath first, and changed the topic: "Mr. Duan, may I ask where you went from 17 o'clock to 21 o'clock last Sunday? I checked the records, and you were not ...... at school during that time."

Sure enough, it came! Duan Yu's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be very stunned and said: "Mr. Smith, does this have anything to do with the topic we are talking about? Are you officially investigating me? If it is a formal investigation, I still say the same thing, please apply to the Huaxia Embassy in the United States, as long as the embassy agrees, I will definitely cooperate, if it is not a formal investigation, this is my private life, don't you Mi country attach great importance to the right of yankuai? I should have the right not to answer ......."

Smith frowned, stared at Duan Yu with burning eyes, and said, " Mr. Duan, you have an ancient saying in China called don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I'll tell you clearly, in the period from 17 o'clock to 21 o'clock last Sunday, several of our FBI agents were attacked by an unidentified Chinese man when they were investigating the case in Chinatown, this is a very serious crime, and according to the FBI agents who were attacked, the Chinese man who attacked them is very similar to you, if you can't provide an alibi, then you have a major suspicion, we will formally charge you! But I don't want to do this, because it will definitely affect your future, I don't want to see an excellent young man like you ruined like this, your Chinese government attaches great importance to international reputation, so please don't live up to my kindness......."

Smith's words were threatening, Duan Yu was certainly not intimidated by him, and laughed: "Then they must have seen the wrong person, how could I do such a thing?" But I still want to thank Mr. Smith for his kindness, let me think about where I went last Sunday?......."

Duan Yu tapped his head with his finger as if he was trying to reminisce, and after thinking for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, I remembered, I did go to Chinatown last Sunday, and I went there to visit several Chinese businessmen who had a very successful business, because my graduation thesis involved some issues of international business development, so I went to ask them for advice, and we chatted happily that day, and I didn't go back to school until 22 o'clock, so the person you are talking about is definitely not my ......."

These are all the coping plans that Duan Yu and Chen Guoxiang discussed after sending Edward away that day, and the Chinese businessmen mentioned by Duan Yu are all patriots who have a good personal relationship with Chen Guoxiang, these Chinese businessmen have done a lot of business, and their reputation is also very high.

Smith frowned, Duan Yu's performance was very calm, and his reaction was also very real, so that he couldn't find a flaw at all, so he could only lie and threaten: "We will continue to investigate, I hope what you say is true, otherwise you will be in big trouble!"

Duan Yu smiled slightly: "Even if you go to investigate, I can't admit what you haven't done, if Director Smith doesn't have anything else, I'll leave first, and I'm going to defend my graduation thesis soon, I have to prepare well ......."

Smith couldn't force Duan Yu to stay, so he could only let him go, Duan Yu walked out of the café, glanced contemptuously at the FBI agents who were still guarding outside the café, and strode away, until they were completely in sight, Duan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, although he behaved very calmly just now, but fighting wits and courage with an old and cunning guy like Smith, it would be false to say that he was not nervous at all.

Back in the office, Smith immediately arranged for someone to go to the few Chinese businessmen who could provide his alibi certificate that Duan Yu said for verification, and the final result could only confirm that Duan Yu did have an alibi.

"This guy is acting very calm, and he has an alibi, are we really looking for the wrong person?" Even one of Smith's most capable old agents was a little unconfident.

"No! it must be him!" Smith's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said substantially: "His biggest flaw is that he is too calm! Think about it, if it is an ordinary person, whether he did it or not, and we FBI find him, can he behave so calmly?!".

"That's right!" The old agent's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Then why don't we go and arrest him right now?!".

Smith shook his head, sighed and said: "If only I were the director of the FBI, Mitterrand's guy always cringes in doing things, and there is no solid evidence to resolutely disagree with us moving this paragraph, saying that it is afraid ......of causing diplomatic disputes."

At this point, Smith slapped the table hard and sneered, "But I won't stop there......!

Now the old spy is not easy to answer, Mitterrand is the director of the FBI, Smith and Mitterrand have always been at odds with each other, the contradiction is very deep, Mitterrand does not nod, does not dare to take coercive measures against Duan Yu, no one wants to become a victim of Mitterrand and Smith's political struggle.

However, Smith is destined to have no chance to catch Duan Yu again, because a week later, Edward, who they were looking for, appeared in Hong Kong and officially exposed the spider project to the international media.
