332. Chapter 26 (3)

to in 8. 12 The firefighters who died bravely in the Tianjin dangerous goods explosion accident salute!! The people of Tianjin thank you!!

Looking at Rahim, who had messy hair and sleepy eyes in front of him, Eric stepped forward slowly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Mr. Raheem-White, aren't you? The owner of this ship? ”

Eric didn't expect that Raheem himself would be on this boat, and it was an unexpected meeting.

"It can also be said that I am on a long-term loan, and the contract period is very long." Rahim replied.

"That's right, we have a lot of questions for you to verify, and we hope you will cooperate with our investigation." Eric asked tightly.

"It's no problem, but I don't know, who are you, since you want me to cooperate, you should also be honest, otherwise I will worry about my personal safety, I am in business, making money is the first purpose, I will not cause trouble for myself for no reason."

Rahim, in order to be able to safely separate himself from all the irregularities of this voyage, began to plot excuses in his favor, and he was looking for an entry point for a conversation in his favor.

"We are INTERPOL's special investigation team here to combat the cross-border smuggling of contraband and arms, and we have conclusive evidence that your cargo ship is carrying sensitive materials that violate regional security, and now the ship needs to be detained and searched."

Eric said as he handed over the papers.

Unexpectedly, Rahim got these documents and handed them back to Eric without carefully examining them.

"Sir, please forgive me for my faux pas, you are not telling the truth, I can't provide you with more additional information if I can't be 100% sure of your identity, but this does not affect my cooperation with your ongoing investigation, I can tell you very frankly that there are no prohibited items on my ship at the moment, everything has normal procedures, and your next investigation is probably a waste of time."

Eric didn't expect Raheem not to buy his Interpol account, judging by the tone of the other party's speech and the current signs, he would definitely not have any results if he blindly stalemate with the other party, and as the other party said, he would waste time in vain.

When Eric was thinking about how to get through Rahim to the level next so that he could tell the truth, Frank next to him stepped forward and grabbed Rahim's collar, and directly pushed Rahim to the side bulkhead, and said with a fierce face:

"Boy, don't pretend here, we don't have time to play tricks on you, I suggest you better tell us everything you know, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat."

"Ha, ha, ha, that's how you do things?"

Rahim laughed contemptuously a few times, looked provocatively at Eric on the side, and then said to Frank, who had grabbed him:

"Brother, your trick is useless to me, I know you, you are one of the members of an action group sent here by the United States, named Frank, is it, tell you, you have your backstage, I also have my backer, I can't go around in this area without a little power base, so I advise you and the master behind you, let us talk to each other politely, it's really stiff and it's not good to look good on anyone's face, I still say that, I am doing my business, I will try my best to cooperate with your investigation, always thinking about bullying the small, then I will have other ways to deal with it, but this will not help your investigation work to progress, how to choose or weigh it yourself. ”

Rahim's words are soft and hard, and Eric knows that the longer he is here, the worse it will become, and he wants to find as much value as possible in Rahim.

Before Eric could speak, a man hurriedly ran down from above, it was one of Frank's men who had been sent out to the docks to find surveillance data.

Seeing that someone was signaling to him, Frank pushed Rahim aside with his hand, and at the same time glanced at Eric, and the two of them followed the man to an empty crew lounge on the other side.

"Frank, I found some clues, the two surveillance locations you told me before did not intercept valuable video data, I learned after interrogation, they only found out about the anomaly there when they took over the shift in the early hours of this morning, and after the inspection, I learned that the data transmission lines and power lines of the two surveillance cameras responsible for monitoring this area were damaged, so there is no video data for the period we need."

"Later, under my repeated questioning, they intercepted some incomplete video data from the monitoring point of another pier not far from this dock, but this is enough to prove the suspiciousness of this ship, part of which is that shortly after the ship docked, the containers on its rear deck were transferred, and they were transported back more than an hour later, which is not normal, because since it is a temporary dock, there is no possibility of loading and unloading, and this loading and unloading is a big problem."

Hearing this, Eric's heart was completely cold, and he couldn't track the ship's traces in the first place, so they lost the opportunity to continue to follow, thinking of this, Eric turned back to Rahim's side.

"Mr. Rahim, please don't wear up my patience, I can tell you that I am not only an Interpol officer, but also an agent of the FBI in the United States, and several cases I am currently investigating are related to your ship, and you had better cooperate with my investigation as fully as you promised, otherwise I guarantee that you will never be safe from now on."

Annoyed, Eric threw his badge in front of Rahim.

This time Raheem didn't dare to take it lightly, he respectfully picked it up, looked at it decently, and then handed it back to Eric with both hands.

"I see your sincerity, I will fulfill my promise, what do you want to know?"

"I'm tracking down a weapons expert who defected from the United States, and we suspect that his wife and children boarded your ship on the way, and they boarded with an unconventional weapon, a 'Combat Knife' missile, do you know about this? Furthermore, since you said that your ship was temporarily docked for shelter and mechanical maintenance, then I ask you why during the period of docking, the containers on your ship were moved to land, and then loaded from people, on the basis of this article alone, I can accuse you of being a suspect with a major connection to these cases, do you hear clearly? ”

After Eric finished speaking, he forced a look at Rahim in front of him.

"Before answering your question, I would like to first state that although this ship is my long-term charter, the goods on it are not necessarily mine, but since these things can be successfully loaded on the ship, it proves that these things are legal, as a businessman, I will contact some relationships for my use, but I will not do illegal things."

"Again, I want to explain that this was originally a normal voyage, but because of the sudden intrusion of some people, the period was full of danger, and I myself was one of the victims, for safety reasons I intended not to pursue the truth of this incident, but since you are here, and you are Interpol, then I might as well report it to you, I was kidnapped a few days ago at my home in Muscat, and these people kidnapped me on my own ship. Coerced me into doing something they told me to do. ”

"As for what you said that I have missiles on this ship, this is impossible, although I am a businessman engaged in arms trading, but I know the bottom line, my ship is loaded with some ordinary conventional weapons that can no longer be ordinary, there will definitely be no missiles, I don't believe you can check box by box, if there are any prohibited weapons that belong to strict international control, I am willing to bear all the responsibility and sanctions for this, I think you must be mistaken."

Rahim was cunning and cunning, and when he heard Eric say that he suspected that the wife and children of the defected weapons expert were on his ship, he immediately concluded that what Eric was talking about was the mother and son who boarded the ship on a rainy night, and the mystery that had been hidden in his heart was finally revealed, and Rahim finally figured out why Mosa, who had not seen the end of the dragon, would be willing to put down his body and personally negotiate with him, so that those people would take great risks to change boarding on the high seas on a rainy night, although Rahim had long expected that these people were definitely not ordinary stowaways, But he never thought that these people would have anything to do with the incident in the United States, and even if they got into trouble, and now that the other party has known about the mysterious departure of those boxes, it seems that he can't be fooled by this level.

Raheem turned his heart upside down, but on the surface everything was the same, as if he was afraid that the other party would associate him with the prohibited weapon, he vigorously argued with the other party on the issue of missiles, and did not say a word about the mother and son asked by Eric.

Eric was amused by Rahim's naughty words, but one thing he heard clearly, Rahim said that he had been kidnapped, which surprised Eric a little, and for a moment could not determine whether Rahim was telling whether what he said was true or false.

"Mr. Rahim, I don't have time to play word games with you, and you don't go around in circles with me to say that you have been kidnapped and pushed the blame away, what I want you to explain to me now is why those containers got out of control and went to other places, and besides, we have enough satellite imagery to confirm that a fishing boat carrying serious suspects and some prohibited items transferred these people and objects to your ship on the high seas, and I can show you this evidence if necessary, But then I don't think you'll have it as easy as you do now, right? ”

Eric was also bluffed, because of the weather, they didn't have exact images to confirm that those things and people were transferred to Rahim's cargo ship, all this is just speculation, but at this time it is to see who is more weak.

This kind of mental game seems that Rahim is the first to be unable to resist, he shook his head weakly, only to see him spread his hands and say:

"Mr. Eric, as a businessman, I didn't deliberately hide anything, you must know that there are some forces that we absolutely dare not provoke and cannot provoke, including you people, I am not lying, I was indeed kidnapped by some people, the person who kidnapped me should have heard of your intelligence agencies, it is Musa Nabipur of Iraq, this person has a nickname 'executioner' in the outside world, I can't and dare not resist when I meet such a person."
