Chapter 303: Getting Out [Three Watches]

(There are no votes to count the three watches...... )

……

Dick began to regret his decision to testify.

He was also confused for a while, and the other party's offer was too high. But now after being forcibly protected by a group of FBI agents, I calmed down and realized how terrible things were. The boss of the company is a mysterious person, and although he is very low-key, there is no denying the power behind this person.

His opponents promised that he would get away with the money if he presented the evidence, but now they heard that he was still needed to appear in court as a tainted witness, because there were so many people involved in the matter that lawyers and the Ministry of Justice's inspectors were delaying and creating obstacles to his testimony.

Dick didn't want to testify against An Feng in person, which would make him never have peace in the future. And in order to persuade him, the FBI has been grinding with him, and there are a group of people behind the scenes who are making an offer to him, but the sincerity is not enough...... The price they gave was more like they didn't want to say yes so quickly.

There was no news for several days, and there were more agents around him, and Dick asked what was going on, and they couldn't explain it clearly. Just let him follow a set of rules. He began to feel tired and frightened, tired of the house, the dreary atmosphere, the fear of the bullets that came from nowhere.

He was sure that he would be the biggest object of suspicion when he disappeared.

Especially in the face of professional bodyguards, in fact, bodyguards and killers are just the front and back of the coin, they are familiar with the characteristics and focus of each other's professions, and it is easy to change identities. Therefore, Dick reduced the time he spent outside the house, and also drew the curtains in the house, carefully living in the shadows.

One afternoon, one of the agents returned from an order for food.

Dick said to them, "I feel like they're right next to me." ”

The agent shook his head, "We've checked, it's safe." ”

"No, you didn't check it well enough!" Dick said uneasily, "I smell danger, believe me." I'm familiar with them! ”

The agent brought the dinner to the table: "You've said it several times in a row, but each time it's a false alarm. I understand your state of mind, I have also been in charge of the protection of key witnesses in the past, they are always suspicious, but in the end they are safe and sound. ”

"It's different. They are a group of high-level bodyguards. Dick said.

"Can you switch identities and become killers at any time?" The young agent said jokingly, picking up a sandwich, "They don't look at it, there are countless bright posts and secret posts around, and the windows are all specially made, as long as a bullet is fired, all of us will swarm up and catch it!" ”

Dick didn't listen to him, but watched the agent eat the sandwich. A few seconds later, he picked up the sandwich as well.

The agent took a sip of the Coke mug and Dick stared again.

After taking two sips, the agent shook his head and said, "I don't have anything." Your spirit is too tight, these are sent by us, and they are safe. ”

Dick took a few bites of the sandwich.

"Have a drink?" The agent shook his glass.

Dick shook his head, and the agent smiled and pulled out a few bottles of mineral water, "These are all right, right?" All are tightly packaged and purchased directly from the store. ”

Dick ate a few bites of the sandwich. I was a little thirsty, and I felt that my nerves were too tight. So I took the safer mineral water bottle, checked the lid, and found that there was no trace of unscrewing, so I unscrewed it with confidence, poured a few sips into myself, and the taste of the sandwich remaining in my mouth was diluted.

Another agent also picked up mineral water. When he was about to unscrew the lid, he found that Dick's face was ugly.

"What's wrong?" The two young agents hadn't realized what was happening.

"I can't breathe!" Dick clutched his neck in a panic, he felt as if his chest was being pressed by a stone, he couldn't breathe, he was dizzy and nauseous. His body spasmed, his mind flashed with various symptoms of poisoning, and finally he touched the bottle of mineral water with trembling hands, and his head fell on the table.

The agents gathered around, and someone shouted, "Target poisoned!" ”

A more sophisticated agent ran through the door and shouted, "Get the gloves!" ”

The agent immediately went to do it, and the old agent ordered: "Open his mouth and induce vomiting for him!" ”

After the agent put on the clear gloves, his fingers reached into his mouth, Dick twitched, a foul smell came, he was incontinent! In less than ten seconds, before he could vomit, the signs of life quickly weakened, his eyes rolled and he lost his breath, and several agents around him looked at each other.

The old agent picked up the last mineral water bottle he wanted to touch, observed, and suddenly tore open the outer packaging, and found an extremely small bump under the adhesive site, which had once melted, and it was certain that someone had injected the poison through the syringe, and then injected the glue back to its original form.

The young agent deduced, "Suspected potassium cyanide." ”

The old agent put down the mineral water bottle: "It's potassium cyanide, highly poisonous, soluble in water, once consumed, a few seconds are enough to kill an adult." ”

……

The review is in a state of standoff.

Anderson continues to keep an eye on how things are going, and the Democrats are eyeing the president.

The review of An Feng's work is not public, but it drags on, and it can't do a few things a day, and the lawyers always have all kinds of reasons to justifiably interfere with the case.

Everyone knows that they are stalling for time.

The FBI has strengthened the protection of tainted witnesses, and Democratic lawmakers who are also concerned about the matter have begun to express their dissatisfaction with Anderson, although it has not developed to the level of promoting the president's abuse of power, but the meaning is clear: even if you are the president, you cannot interfere with the justice of the law.

Anderson used the tactfulness of a politician to deal with the members of Congress, and the president's authority temporarily stifled the opposition.

Just as the Cold War was going on, the news came back from Guri: Done.

Matthew immediately informed Bazel: "The witnesses are done, we have the initiative." ”

Bazel was satisfied: "Very good, I'm ready to talk to them. ”

Matthew said, "I'm in charge of this side. ”

When Joanna learned about the incident, she was a little worried: "Won't it cause more trouble because of the death of the witness?" ”

"There will be trouble, but in comparison, it will be easy to handle." Matthew said.

Joanna understood, the testimony of the tainted witness pointed directly at An Feng's vital point, and he could be brought down at any time, and now that the witness is dead, although An Feng is the biggest suspect, he is only a suspect, and he is not 100% confirmed that it is him. It depends on how powerful the lawyer's mouth is.

In this case. An Feng's lawyer was given the opportunity to speak with him alone.

Two lawyers, represented by An Feng, met in the reception room. Due to the intervention of the Ministry of Justice, An Feng's treatment has now changed from a confirmed suspect to a suspect with suspicion, so there is no need to continue to stay in that airtight small black room, and he can walk around the office area.

Hardy outlined the case: "In the current situation, the endangerment of national security is mainly the inference of surveillance evidence that is itself illegal. It had a small impact on you, but now you are facing another charge: instigating the murder of witnesses. I need to tell you the details of the case. ”

Rather than talking, it is better to say that Hadi represents An Feng's behind-the-scenes group teaching him how to speak, although the murder is also serious, but in the eyes of the lawyers, it is far less fatal than the previous accusation involving national security, which can be solved by just exploiting loopholes.

Talking about the surveillance, An Feng told Hardy some facts: "In the past, the exoskeleton developed by the robot company was stolen, and the local police in San Jose and San Francisco were dealt with at that time. There were detailed records, and then I licensed the technology to Raytheon for free. ”

"You mean, technology was ever stolen?" Hardy caught the point.

An Feng said: "Of course, this is my hole card, and I haven't said it because the accusations of the witnesses are too serious-"

"Sir." Hardy reminded.

An Feng avoided this topic: "The stolen ones included a complete set of exoskeleton samples and a hard disk containing technology, which had no protection measures and was able to make thousands of copies, and finally I authorized it to Raytheon." It can be regarded as a contribution to the United States. I also have evidence that the Russians stole a deliberately defocused exoskeleton drawing from the United States. I doubt the reason for this. ”

Upon receiving these favorable evidence, Hardy said with confidence: "Sir, please rest assured, in the case of illegal transactions, you will definitely win." ”

……

In terms of the case, An Feng's accusation of endangering national security is faced with insufficient evidence, and nine times out of ten it is not established. But murder still has an impact.

There is also a surprise: since he was taken away by the FBI, everything he says and does is under surveillance, and there is no possibility of instructing others to commit crimes. This helped him indirectly.

It's a pity that it's not a simple case, it's a dispute involving the forces behind the scenes, if it's just a case. An Feng can now get rid of the surveillance on the grounds of insufficient evidence, but before the behind-the-scenes control group does not negotiate the matter, An Feng still has to carry the suspicion of espionage behind his back and act as a "target" for negotiations.

Until now, we have been able to negotiate fairly with the other party.

The cause of the incident was that after monitoring An Feng, it was speculated that there was an illegal act, and then the guy who was at odds with the Texas consortium seized the time to fall into the well, trying to kill two birds with one stone - to let An Feng finish off, and also let the consortium be hit. Now he has escaped, but the other party is still holding on to the handle.

Anderson told Bazel: "If we want the Democrats to stop worrying about this, we can only compromise on some of the things they want." ”

Bazel understood: "Is it the rejected trade bill?" ”

Anderson said, "Yes. Otherwise, they will continue to press more Democratic officials to get more Democratic officials involved in the case and watch my every move. ”

Bazel said: "Let's give in here, compared to the previous big injury, the current ending is already within an acceptable range." ”

"I think so too." Anderson nodded, "But sir, the matter about Ann is a warning that there are too many things about him that can be fussed about. ”

"I'll talk to him." Bazel said.

……

Agent Meyer was instructed by the Director.

There are many doubts in this matter, and the FBI's surveillance is illegal and cannot be used as evidence for accusations; The witnesses are dead, and the most effective means of incriminating themselves have been lost. As a result, the case reached an impasse and was reduced to a general murder charge, which was required to hand over the materials and be handled by the state government.

Meyer knew that this was a signal that the top management had reached a consensus and stopped working.

But the big detective from the headquarters, a bit of white-minded Otto, is still ready to investigate this matter.

Meyer was puzzled at first by the inconsistency within the FBI, but he quickly understood that he had offended someone, boy!

Meyer was glad that he had been in good shape and was on the same boat.

……

The FBI, who originally wanted to talk to An Feng about the alleged murder, suddenly received an order from above, indicating that the matter was within the management of the local police, and there were too many suspicious points in the espionage accusations, which could no longer constitute an interrogation of An Feng, and could only be handed over as a murder case.

Subsequently, the state police took over An Feng's case.

Before this, Agent Otto was very unhappy and talked to An Feng: "I know that you did it, although the evidence has been eliminated, it does not mean that we will let you go!" You give me attention, and we'll stare at you, watch you, and wait for the moment you show your feet - kill you! ”

An Feng smiled and asked, "Is this an official threat to innocent civilians?" ”

Otto said: "You know it yourself! ”

"Of course I know that you are a naked threat!" An Feng smiled and took out the recording equipment on his body, "It's quite easy to use." ”

Otto left with a black face.

"Wait for the court summons." An Feng reminded behind him.

In order to show the importance of the case, the state police who took over the case sent elite police officers to investigate and deal with it.

The so-called elite is to handle cases in strict accordance with procedures: get together for coffee to discuss the case, meet the suspect on time, talk and collect evidence, continue to get together for coffee in the afternoon to discuss the case, and then the day's work is over. The second time we still strictly followed yesterday's steps...... In the end, due to factors such as the FBI's non-cooperation and vague evidence, the police did not have favorable evidence, and they did not even use the jury, and the prosecution took the initiative to cancel the appeal.

Then new evidence emerged, the murder case pointed to a local cross-border criminal organization, because the victim had a dispute with them about drug dealing, and then the police targeted the detection direction of the Mexican border, and the case of An Feng, the materials were quickly sorted out and destroyed.
