In a room of less than ten square meters, there is a table, three chairs, and a table lamp, and a cup of steaming coffee is placed in front of Lin An.

may be due to the fact that Lin An is holding a business passport and is not a violent crime, so he didn't even bring handcuffs when he was brought in.

At this time, there was a photo on his desk, including Lin An, Madson and others, and Lin An found that it should be not far from them.

"Mr. Lin, we have a lot of evidence related to you, and I hope you can honestly explain."

Lin An shrugged his shoulders and said, "Agent Willis, do I have to apply for approval from the U.S. government for any friends I have made?" Also, I won't answer any questions until my lawyer comes. ”

This kind of method is really too old-fashioned, through some specious things, to pry people's mental defenses. If you really have evidence, it would be good if you sued me directly, there is no need to do more.

Willis was not discouraged, as long as you opened your mouth, and then continued to ask, "On March 9th, Mr. Lin, what are you doing?" ”

Lin An rolled his eyes and continued, "I won't answer any questions until my lawyer comes. ”

Willis and the others continued to ask a few more questions, and Lin An answered at the same time.

Willis was a little upset and irritable, and couldn't help but glance at his companion next to him, who nodded knowingly, and made a gesture in front of the monitor, and the monitor with a red dot turned off immediately.

Willis continued: "The monitor is off, and anything we talk about will not be used as evidence, so now let's talk openly and honestly, how about it?" ”

Lin An smiled slightly, looked at the clock hanging on the wall and said, "It was eight o'clock in the morning when I was brought in. It's already half past eight, and according to the efficiency of my subordinates, the lawyer will arrive in ten minutes at most. ”

Willis's face sank a little, but he didn't expect that this young Chinese was not threatened at all.

"Listen, Mr. Lin, it seems that we are too polite to you, no matter what you say today, we have the right to detain you for 24 hours, we have a long time, we can do some warm-up exercises."

Willis's tone was grim. Especially the words are accentuated in the final movement. Lin An raised his eyebrows, he had long heard that the police departments in the United States were very rude, but he didn't expect the FBI to be no exception.

In fact, it is impossible for any country's violent organs to treat suspects so kindly.

Just as he was about to say something, the door was pushed open. "Really? When did the FBI turn into a health club? I have reason to suspect that this officer is making physical threats against this gentleman. ”

A somewhat flirtatious voice came. The three men in the room looked up. A middle-aged man with blonde hair and blue eyes and a faint smile on his face walked in, and Zhu Ya followed.

"Hello Mr. Lin, call me Thomas, I am the entrusted lawyer you hired, as long as you sign, I will be fully responsible for this matter."

Thomas quickly slipped through the briefcase he was carrying. took out a contract and pen and handed it to Lin An, Lin An took a cursory look at it, and the charge of $10,000 per hour began from the moment he signed it.

Of course, Lin An signed. Thomas put the contract away and took a cursory look around the room, "First, may I ask this Agent Willis why he didn't turn on the monitor, which is a clear violation of Article 32 of the FBI's investigative regulations. ”

"I suspect that my client has been treated harshly and even beaten by you, and I will apply to the hospital for an evaluation of his injuries."

Willis loosened his tie, he felt a little hot, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when Thomas immediately interrupted him.

"Second, my client is a Chinese citizen who holds a legal business passport, and according to the FBI's business investigation procedures, he must first be notified to the Chinese diplomatic embassy in New York before he can be taken away, and it is clear that you are not."

"At the same time, why my client was taken away under the flashing lights of reporters, instead of being investigated in a low-key manner, this has caused considerable reputational and moral damage to my client, and the FBI must publicly apologize and compensate my client for moral damages."

Several questions in quick succession pointed to the weakness of the FBI, which was groundless both procedurally and legally. Willis was also a veteran police officer, and he had heard of the reputation of this Thomas barrister from his peers.

He didn't expect it to be so difficult, all the questions pointed to the key point, he didn't even expect that some default unspoken rules would be nakedly pointed out by Thomas, wasn't he afraid of causing public outrage?

Willis could no longer maintain his previous position, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. At this time, the door was pushed open again, and Willis, along with his companions, immediately stood up and saluted, "Director Bridges." ”

"Thomas, it's been a long time, don't embarrass my little friend anymore, he's just a little anxious to complete the task, I can guarantee that he hasn't done anything unforgivable."

Bridges, a big fat man, came over with a smile and said to Willis, "Okay, there's nothing to do with you here, let's get out." ”

Willis breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, Director. Then he put away the materials on the table, and saluted before leading the people out.

Lin An felt a lot more relieved when he heard the tone of this Bridges Director as if he was familiar with Thomas, the money was too well spent.

It's just that after Bridges sat down, he ignored Thomas, and turned to Lin An and said: "Just now, two New York City councilors, the chairman of Condair, and even the Chinese ambassador to the United States, personally called me to put pressure on me. ”

Except for Rawls, the others represented the relationship between Madsen and Zhao Yu, but they didn't expect their reaction to be so fast.

After saying this, Bridges stood up and stretched out his hand to Lin An, "Sorry Mr. Lin, I have caused you some trouble, you can go, the investment environment in the United States is very good." ”

If the previous sentence made Lin An ecstatic, then his last sentence was a bit clueless.

But who wants to stay here if they can go? Lin An followed Thomas out of the FBI's interrogation room, and then quickly went through some formalities and went out.

A man in his thirties with Phnom Penh eyes greeted him at the door with a smile, "You are Mr. Lin, right?" ”

"Yes, you are?" Lin An frowned and nodded, "I'm from the Counsellor's Office of the Embassy, and the ambassador is waiting for you in the car." ”

Lin An followed his hand and looked over, the Hongqi car, which was relatively rare in China, stopped at the door, turned to Wang Yan, Zhu Ya and lawyer Thomas and said, "You go to the hotel first, Brother Cao, you drive another car and follow me." ”

After instructing everyone, Lin An got into the red flag car, "Hello Ambassador He, thank you Ambassador this time." ”

The ambassador to the United States is called He Feng, and to be honest, it would be an honor for Zhao Yu to let the ambassador call to pay attention to him.

Unexpectedly, he actually came to pick him up in person, which really flattered him. "Mr. Lin is a citizen of China, these are my duties, if you want to thank you, you can thank Miss Zhao." (To be continued......)
