246 - Arrest
At this time, outside Los Angeles International Airport, Anthony and Jennifer sat in the VIP waiting hall with their heads down, and the two were silent for a long time.
Qian Wenhuan has already issued an order for the two of them and the negotiation team to return directly and do not have to continue to stay in Los Angeles.
However, this kind of task is in vain, at the small level, the two of them are naturally gloomy, and at the big point, it may lead the company's senior management to question the ability of the two, and even affect the career.
But now there is no way to think about it, the wood is already in the boat, and no one wants to sell their shares to Blacklight Technology.
"Are you Mr. Anthony and Ms. Jennifer?"
Just when the two of them were depressed, four or five men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses suddenly surrounded them, looked at the two condescendingly, and faintly blocked all retreats.
"I am, may I ask ...... you?"
Anthony asked blankly.
"FBI, there are some things that need the help of the two of you to investigate."
The man in black at the head showed his ID, and the four people behind him immediately stepped forward, grabbed Anthony and Jennifer's arms, and dragged the two of them out of the departure hall.
"It's ......"
A flash of panic flashed in Anthony's expression, "Wait, what the hell is going on?" We have not violated federal law! ”
"You'll understand when you get to your destination."
The FBI didn't mean to explain to the two at all, and directly left the two of them, while the rest of the negotiating team was stunned.
"Have you ever attended a ball at Gross Manor?"
"No, no."
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads.
"Please come with us first, it won't delay you for a long time."
The man in black continued, making a gesture of please.
Everyone had to obediently follow.
Anthony and Jennifer had been hitchhiked all the way to the FBI's office building, and as soon as they got out of the car, they were shocked.
I saw that the entire hall of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was full of all kinds of statues, including bronze statues and stone statues, the large ones were even more than ten meters high, and the small ones were only a dozen centimeters long.
Countless statues filled the hall, while a large number of trucks were transporting more statues one by one.
"What the hell is going on?"
Anthony muttered under his breath.
Passing through the hall of statues, the two were ushered into what appeared to be a makeshift interrogation room, apparently an office conversion that for some reason the FBI couldn't even vacate a regular interrogation room.
The men in black came and went, and there were a large number of uniformed people, and at this time, a man rushed into the interrogation room while drinking water, and greeted the men in black who were guarding the two people, and they immediately withdrew.
Suddenly, only Anthony and Jennifer were left in the interrogation room, as well as the man who drank water.
After drinking the water in the cup, the man exhaled and turned his head to look at the two, "Do you want some?" ”
"No, no, thank you."
Anthony's expression softened slightly, "May I ask what happened and why you are arresting us?" We don't have violated the laws of North America, let alone the Earth Federation Law. ”
"I'm sorry."
The man nodded, "Let me introduce myself first, you can call me Investigator Jerason, you really didn't break any laws, but it happened suddenly, and we can only do this in order to prevent you from not cooperating." ”
As he spoke, the man's expression became serious, "Next, please answer every word of my question carefully, if there is any inaccuracy, once it is discovered, it is likely that you will be arrested for crimes against humanity." ”
"Crimes against humanity?"
Jennifer suddenly exclaimed, "Why? ”
"This is a regulation of the Earth Federation, and we in North America are only enforcing it."
Geralson spread his hands, "Okay two, can you tell me where you were last night?" ”
Hearing each other's questions, Anthony and Jennifer glanced at each other, and finally Anthony smiled bitterly, "Do you still need to ask?" Do you seem to have captured us because we were involved in last night's party? ”
"Very well, so you did attend last night's party."
Geralson took out his voice recorder, jotted down all of Anthony's answers, and then asked again, "So did you see it at the banquet...... Uh, three statues? ”
"Yes, those are three oddly shaped statues."
Anthony no longer thought about those who did not have at this time, and simply told the truth, "One of them is the most prominent is the ears, the other is the eyes and mouth, and the three statues seem to be very ......"
Anthony hesitated, as if trying to figure out how to describe it.
"Weird." Jennifer added.
"Yes, the three statues, both in terms of shape and line, give people a weird feeling." Anthony nodded.
"Very good......
Geralson nodded, "Next question, did you notice anything unusual about these three statues?" ”
"Anomalous? What kind of anomaly? ”
"I don't know." Geralson shook his head, "If you feel weird, this should be considered an anomaly. ”
"We just glanced at the three statues from afar." Anthony said helplessly, "I only noticed the three features of the ears, eyes, and mouth, and I didn't remember anything else......
"And we didn't touch the three statues, they were all sealed in the jewelry display, even if there was an ancient virus on them, we couldn't touch them."
Jennifer added.
Anthony was taken aback, recalling the horror of being dominated by the black light virus, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there really is some kind of ancient virus on those three statues?" ”
Geralson shook his head, "No, actually, we're not sure what the order from above means...... Forget it, I didn't say what I said just now, so I continued to ask questions. ”
As he spoke, Geralson continued, "Describe the origin of these three sculptures, including everything you heard, saw, and analyzed, and tell me everything. ”
Gerrardson's words made Anthony's expression move, and the other party's words seemed to reveal some information, but now was not the time to think about it.
So, he again stated the origin of the three statues that were dug up from the gold mines of South America by a man named Gross, and revealed to the federal investigator in front of him that a man named Clifford had invited him.
"Good."
Geralson listened to all this, but he was not moved at all, obviously he had already explored all the origins clearly, and he was just confirming it at this time.
