Chapter 300 Endangering National Security
An Feng got into the car, and as soon as he took out his mobile phone, he was taken away by the agent next to him.
"We need to temporarily restrict your communications." The FBI agent said indifferently, "And other communication tools on you, please take the initiative to turn them in." β
"I only have one phone." "According to the law, I have the right to inform the lawyer. β
The agent glanced at him and vetoed: "You have the right to ask a lawyer to consult on the side during the trial, but you are currently in the special investigation stage, and there is evidence that you endanger US national security, and the lawyer can only provide you with consultation and help, and has no right to interfere in the interrogation of major cases." β
They didn't say anything more, and the car drove smoothly toward the airport.
An Feng's face was expressionless, but he was thinking of countermeasures in his heart, and he was inevitably nervous when dealing with the FBI for the first time...... This time there was no warning, it was too abrupt, if it was an order from the top of the government, and it was against such an important person as him, Anderson would have warned him.
So there are several possibilities: it was decided internally by the FBI and is a classified case; or led by Democratic Party officials, without reference to the Republican Party; It can even be a sortie by a rival party against supporters of the Republican president, and the reason for this is none other than partisan interests.
An Feng can only pin his hopes on his side and let them be smarter.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the airport, stopped in front of a Cessna business jet, and several agents put him on the plane, telling him that his destination was the FBI branch in Los Angeles. A little more than an hour later, the plane landed in Los Angeles and drove to the local federal government building.
The FBI's branch was unremarkable, and after a few inspections, it felt like a normal office area.
The interrogation room, on the other hand, was classic, an empty room without windows, with a lone table and two chairs in the center, and a large single glass on the wall. You can only see the inside from the outside. An Feng looked up, it was pitch black, but someone was definitely watching him.
Soon, two black suits walked in and sat down in front of him.
An Feng looked at them with an indifferent expression.
"I'm Meyer, in charge of your case." Said one of the agents. "Do you know why we brought you here?"
"I don't know." An Feng shook his head, "Planting? Reckless law enforcement? β
Another sternly said, "Don't play tricks with us!" We have more than enough ways to get you to cooperate! β
An Feng said with a smile: "I've seen it in the movie, you guys are very good at extorting confessions by torture, hurry up and turn off the camera, and give me a set." β
Meyer knocked on the table: "You think you're in little trouble?" β
"I don't have any illegal acts, so I'm naturally not afraid of you." An Feng looked up at the black glass, "I have the right to hold you accountable." β
"You're confident that you're hiding incriminating evidence." Meyer motioned to his assistant's file bag, which contained some photographs and some paper papers.
"On the 20th of last month, you traveled to Moscow, Russia with three of your bodyguards. Two of your men were captured by the local Security Service and charged with espionage, and you traded four suspects for the blueprints of military exoskeletons that were restricted from export by the U.S. Congress. Afterwards, you give around $200,000 to a few people involved in the operation in order to keep it a secret. β
"Nonsense! I need evidence and witnesses to confront me face to face! An Feng refused to admit it.
"We'll give it to you!" Meyer was unhappy with his unbridled attitude.
"I'll wait! Look at your level of forgery. An Feng said arrogantly that he used to talk to Jeff. Clark learned that the FBI is good at looking at the expressions of characters. Catch flaws in demeanor or language, and deal with them. It's best to be silent forever or take a detour to fight back, and not be led.
Meyer looked at the arrogant An Feng and continued: "In addition to the appeal case, there is also evidence that you are suspected of participating in illegal cooperation with the British government, which is also conditional on the export of exoskeleton technology. In exchange for a British defence contractor working with your business. β
"This is also a slander for no reason." But from the tone and description, Mr. An said, he felt that the F.B.I. did not know enough about the British case.
"Then how do you explain your presence with someone from BAE in the UK?" Meyer said.
"Normal business cooperation." An Feng said.
"Will a normal business partnership be conditional on exoskeleton technology?" Meyer said.
"It's just your imagination." An Feng sneered.
"Based on the current evidence and witnesses, it is enough for us to prosecute you!" Meyer said, "So cooperate with me." I just need you to answer, are you going to England? β
"That's right." An Feng said.
"Have you been in contact with anyone at BAE?" He asked.
"Yes." An Feng nodded.
"Just after you showed up in the UK and came into contact with them, BAE had the technology for exoskeletons. Tell me, how much benefit do you get from it? β
"Haha." An Feng understood the principle of their inference, "You guys are inducing confessions!" I have the right to remain silent until my lawyer shows up! β
"Humph!" Meyer knocked on the table, "According to our monitoring of your series of behaviors, the comprehensive evidence shows that you have committed acts that endanger the security of the United States, and we have the right to arrest you for the crimes of collaborating with the enemy and espionage, and will also cancel your permanent residence, and you will lose the right to a lawyer and defense!" β
"Please give instructions!" An Feng is-for-tat.
Meyer glared at him, and after a minute, he said, "You're going to regret it!" β
"I'll wait!" An Feng said.
Meyer left with his assistant, and the silent interrogation continued.
β¦β¦
Joanna watched the FBI take An Feng away, panicked, but she was still calm on the surface, and she didn't show that the six gods and masters of ordinary women after they had an accident. The image of the key person flashed in her mind, and she thought of countermeasures, there is no doubt that An Feng's political capital is very strong and can be used.
At this time, Guri walked over and motioned for her to change places to talk.
Joanna walked to the side with them and asked, "Is itβ"
"Wait!" Guri said cautiously, took out an instrument and swept it over her, and unexpectedly took out a small object from the wide cuffs of the master's gown.
"Bugging!" Guri threw it to the ground and crushed it.
Joanna looked at it in disbelief, then looked up at Guri and asked with a questioning look.
"Now there are no other interfering signals," Guri said. But things are very bad, it is likely that the trip to Russia has a traitor within us. β
"So what to do?" Joanna had long known that An Feng was risky in doing this, but he insisted on going his own way, and now something really happened.
"Don't worry, there are two things we can do right now," Guri said. The first is for me to find out who is leaking the secret between us, and the leaker may be the accuser. Second, you look for anyone who can support him, who has strong political connections. β
"I see." Joanna calmed herself, "I know who to turn to. β
Guri nodded: "The more heavyweight he is, the more he can ensure his safety." β
Joanna said: "We'll split up, I'll communicate with the others, you'll be in charge of the leaker, and I'll allow any resources you need along the way." β
"I need a plane," Guri said. β
"My plane was parked at a nearby airport." Joanna pulled out her phone. "I'll notify the crew right away and use it at any time."
Guri said, "I will leave you two bodyguards to do things for you." β
"Okay, you can go quickly." Joanna said, returning to her parents with her bodyguards.
Kelly asked with concern, "What the hell is going on, what did those people do just now?" β
"It's fine, it's just a routine investigation." Joanna smiled, no longer feeling her nervousness. "I need to help him with some things, so I won't be able to attend this prom. If you're not in a hurry to go back. Go and stay in St. Raphael. β
"We're not in a hurry, kid." Frank looked at her.
"I can handle it." Joanna said, "Have fun, I need to get some business done." β
"Remember us if you're in trouble!" Frank smelled something unusual, but it didn't affect her mood too much.
Joanna nodded and turned to leave. And instructed: "Quickly prepare a car for me and drive to the nearby airport." β
"No problem." A bodyguard leaves.
Joanna took off her master's robe, handed it to the bodyguard, and then took out her mobile phone to call: "Angela, I need flight service." β
"Ma'am. Do you need a flight? Angela confirmed.
"Yes, my pilot has other tasks for the time being, and you arrange a flight for me from Berkeley to Los Angeles." Joanna glanced at the bodyguard who opened the door.
The bodyguard said how long he was driving: "Fifteen minutes to the nearby airport." β
"I'll leave in fifteen minutes." Joanna told Angela.
"It's only thirty minutes at the earliest." Angela said.
Joanna's tone was undeniable: "You buy all the positions for me, and if you can't do it, you can buy them!" I need fifteen minutes to go! β
"I'll arrange it, ma'am." Angela said.
Joanna got in the car, the bodyguard closed the door, and drove in the direction of the airport, keeping a high speed all the way. In the car, Joanna called Matthew again.
"Uncle Matthew, are you alright?" Joanna greeted, "I have something to trouble you, are you still in Los Angeles?" β
"Yes, what's the matter?" Matthew's voice came.
Joanna said: "Something happened to Bruce, he was taken away by the FBI. Probably right now in the Los Angeles branch, he needs help. β
"Slowly, you mean the FBI?" Matthew's voice sounded unexpected, too.
"Is it convenient for you to talk over there?" Joanna asked.
"No problem, my anti-bugging phone." Matthew said.
"Okay, it could be some accusations that are not good for national security, but there should be no hard evidence...... Joanna picked up some important points.
After hearing this, Matthew said: "I will first let the governor and the Department of Justice intervene in this matter and participate in the federal investigation, and since the people are still in Los Angeles, I will let them stay in the local case." Also, it's weird, I didn't get any news...... Why don't you come here? β
"On the way." Joanna said.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped at the airport, because the flights to Los Angeles were short-distance flights, all operated by small companies, mainly small planes, Joanna bought all the seats, and directly turned them into temporary charter flights, from the shuttle plane to the plane. "When it is full", take off immediately.
β¦β¦
Four hours after the interrogation.
An Feng and they have had several confrontations, and according to the evidence and inferences that the other party has, it is indeed possible to extend the time of the "interview" indefinitely.
Just as another round of intensive interrogations that broke through the psychological defenses was underway, the door opened.
Meyer was called out, he looked at a few strangers in the hallway, and asked his assistant, "What's the matter?" β
The assistant looked at several strangers next to him: "They are representatives of the governor's secretariat, the state department of justice, and lawyers, who asked to meet with the suspects. β
Meyer frowned: "This is an FBI project. β
The governor's secretary had a businesslike expression: "This is California, and I will work together in accordance with state law and the governor's instructions." β
The representative of the state Department of Justice said: "We want to uphold the state law and the fairness of the state law to the residents of the state, and give reasonable supervision and advice." β
Finally, the lawyer's representative: "I am the chief representative of Mr. Ahn's lawyer's delegation and am responsible for all legal matters concerning him. β
Meyer frowned, he still underestimated An Feng's ability, and in just a few hours, the governor, the Ministry of Justice, and the lawyer team all sent people. (To be continued......)
