Chapter 334: Paul
"This Mr. Daniel is also researching internal force weapons?" House asked.
"No, Daniel is just an ordinary investor. He is not a martial artist, that is, he does not understand scientific research, nor does he understand scientific research project management. After he took over Ruimoto, he also had to find another project leader to form a scientific research team, and then carry out the development of internal force weapons. ”
"Do you know who the project leader of the Raymoto Lab is? Or do you know the research team? House asked, staring at Ritter.
Ritter looked back at him, and a sneer slowly hung on the corner of his mouth. "Are you asking me?"
"What's wrong?" House was a little puzzled by the staring.
"After Miss Yu's accident, your government departments and the military immediately blocked all the places inside and outside the restricted area of Rui Moto, and even the people and materials and a number of experimental samples were transported away by you. Now you ask the other way I know if I know the research status of the Sharp Motorcycle, how do I think I should have asked you, right? ”
House smiled awkwardly and explained, "These things may have been done by the CIA and the Department of Defense, and we at the FBI were not involved and did not know about it." What I just asked me, did you know about Rui Moto before Yu Qianhua's accident? ”
Ritter sighed and said, "You're really dull. Didn't you realize that your question itself was stupid? Two days ago, I and several other experts in the study of internal weapons talked about this matter privately during a seminar, and I said at that time that I regretted the most in the past two years that I did not discover the big dark horse of Rui Moto in advance. I do not deny that our scientific research institutions often spy on each other's scientific and technological information, and sometimes even send spies to each other. I really regret that I didn't ask someone about the scientific research progress of Rui Moto earlier. None of us thought that this small laboratory, which is the smallest, remote, with the least funds, and I heard that it is so poor that it can apply for financial subsidies from the government, and it can also be said to be the most inconspicuous small laboratory, will burst out such a big miracle. At that time, several of us said that if any of us had known in advance, we would have used the money to stun Daniel and buy Sharp Motor. ”
After listening to it, the three listeners understood the truth. That's true, if a big guy like Ruiter really knew about the research of Rui Moto, he would have already attacked it. I have to say that House's question is indeed a bit stupid.
"You are the representative sent by Yu Qianhua?" Ritter seemed to think he had defeated House, and turned his gaze to Shaping.
"I was sent by Miss Yu. However, I only supervised the investigation process of the case on behalf of Ms. Yu. ”
"The aura gun developed by Rui Moto is now in Miss Yu's hands, right?"
"I don't know. I'm only responsible for reporting to her, not for her. ”
"Hehe, I guess that gun has already arrived on the test bench of China's military research institute. But it may also be in Miss Yu's hands. Please tell her that if the gun is still in her possession, I can open my internal force arsenal and let her pick three or five pieces at will, the only condition is that she will give me the gun to study for a while. ”
Sha Pingping obviously didn't understand this request, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you bother to do this?" You Americans have looted all the places of the Sharp Motorcycle, and you must have all the information about that gun in your hands. I believe that with your position in the field of internal weapons research, the US Government will sooner or later come to you with those materials. Wouldn't that be much simpler and clearer than getting the actual gun? ”
Ritter smiled and shook his head. "You're a layman when you hear you. Something like a remote-controlled airsoft gun is not something that can be reproduced with data and drawings, each of them is unique, and it is completely impossible to mass-produce. Alas, you won't understand it either. ”
"Mr. Rhett, may I ask you a few questions?" Sha Ping asked.
"You don't think you have the right to investigate in the United States, do you?"
"I don't. But I can also ask you questions through Agent House, right, I think it's better for us to cut out the red tape and have a direct conversation. ”
Ritter looked at House, who nodded to him, signaling that he agreed with Shaping's statement that he would cooperate if Shaping needed it.
Ritter retracted his gaze to look at Sha Ping, and said, "Okay, you ask." ”
Sha Ping walked to the big photo on the east wall, pointed to the three Asians in the crowd and asked, "Do these three Asians work under your banner?" ”
Ritter also walked up to the photo, looked at it and said, "It used to be, but it's not with me anymore." One of them I heard that he went to Europe, and I don't know about the other two. ”
"Are there any Japanese Americans in here?"
Ritter thought for a moment and said, "I don't know. One of them is from Singapore, and he speaks English very well, but I don't know if he's Japanese, and I'm pretty sure the other two are Chinese. ”
"Do you know the Chinese names of these two people?" Sha Ping asked casually, but he was secretly observing Rhett's expression as he asked. He noticed that Ritter seemed to frown before replying, "I don't know their Chinese names." In the lab, everyone uses English names. ”
"You don't mind if I take this picture, do you?"
Ritter shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please." ”
Sha Ping and House's mobile phones were left at the hotel when they came out yesterday, so he had to borrow Li Man's mobile phone to take pictures. As he took a photo, he asked, "Are there many Japanese researchers in your field?" ”
Ritter thought for a while and said, "I only know that there are two research institutes set up by the Japanese government in the forbidden area, after all, Japan and the United States are allies, so our government has given them some convenience." But as I understand it, the results of their research are meant to be shared with us. ”
"I mean, are there any such Japanese researchers in your cutting-edge research institutions in the United States?"
"I see what you mean. You actually want to ask, is it possible that there are Japanese people in the team of Remoto, and this plan to assassinate Miss Yu was designed, right? I don't think it's likely. You think, if there are really Japanese people who have this scientific research ability, it is better to go back to China directly to help the Japanese government establish its own aura weapon system, and then use their strength to crush the Chinese warriors, why risk such a clumsy performance of an assassination attempt. ”
"Or maybe he's just an assistant, taking the opportunity of the experiment......"
"No way. Such a cutting-edge, such an important thing, who would hand it over to an auxiliary staff to operate? Anyway, if this is my project, it must be the core personnel of R&D who are operating on site. And his political literacy must be very reliable. ”
Ritter's words seemed to dispel Sha Ping's suspicions about the Japanese. He thought for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Peibo, to tell you the truth, I always think that you should have a rough idea of who developed this gun. You are a top expert in this field, and the top talents of major research institutions are definitely on your radar. There must be very few people who can develop this gun, and you must have a list of personnel in mind......"
"Mr. Sha!" Ritter stopped Sha Ping from continuing. "You're right, I have such a list of suspicions in my mind, but why should I tell you about this list? This is considered an important confidential information of our country. I believe that the Ministry of Defense now has a list of core personnel of the research group of Sharp Motorcycle, why don't you just ask them for it? ”
Sha Ping didn't speak again. He also has dates and no dates to hit three shots, trying to see if he can get some information out of Rhett's mouth. Since the other party was alert, he stopped trying.
At this time, Li Man suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Rhett, may I say a few words?"
"Who is Miss Li speaking for?" Ritter asked, squeezing a smile under his skin.
"I'm asking you a question on behalf of your regular client."
"Oh, which old customer?"
"You don't need to say it explicitly, you and I can just tacitly say it."
Ritter stared at her for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Why did you damage our item without permission, you know, it has been sold by you, and the ownership belongs to us."
"Because it's an illegal device. I had to dismantle it. ”
"Illegal device? It's made and sold by you. How can it be an illegal device. ”
"It's just a tool, it's not illegal in itself! It is the person who uses it who is breaking the law. It is you who use it to do things that violate the law and public morality. Because I made it, I wouldn't allow it to be used for bad things, so I extracted it and destroyed it. ”
"But you've sabotaged our experiments, and now our experiments are out of control. We feel that this behavior of yours is a complete breach of contract. We want you to tell you the whereabouts of the test items in order to recoup our losses. ”
"He's not an experiment, he's a living person! Alright, your question time is over. I don't want to answer any of your questions anymore. If you think I've violated the agreement, you can sue me. Whether it's a court, a government department, whatever. I have other work to do in a moment, and thank you very much for visiting. Ritter said, walking over and pulling open the office door, standing by the door with a straight face and waiting.
House and Sha Ping saw that Li Man's question annoyed Ritter, and the two of them couldn't say anything more, and the three of them walked out in a row. As House passed by, Ritter said to him, "Agent House, next time, please prepare all the legal procedural documents before coming to the door for interrogation." House understood that he would never be able to enter the mansion a second time.
There was a security guard outside the door, and he led the three of them out of the villa and into the courtyard. The three of them got into the car and drove out of the Peibo family's mansion.
"These last few words are the real purpose of your coming to Peibo's house, right?" Sha Ping said in Chinese to Li Man, who was driving.
"I don't know. I'm just doing what I'm told. Li Man said expressionlessly.
"Huh!" Sha Ping snorted from his nose and turned to look at House in the back seat. He saw that House was looking out the window at this time, a thoughtful look.
"Why do you pay so much attention to Asian researchers?" House asked suddenly. He didn't look back when he asked, still looking out the window.
"I have my own considerations." Sha Ping was very vague.
"Oh! It seems that you should have gained a lot from this trip. Don't want to talk about it? House said, turning his gaze back at Shaping.
"It's just some hypotheses with very low probability, and it's not yet mature. I'll tell you when I find more clues. Shadin smiled at House.
All three people in the car stopped talking, and fell silent again. House looked out the window again.
Sha Ping turned his head sideways and looked at House's side face, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Why did Li Man have to find a way to bring House with him on this trip to Long Island? Is it just to use his identity as a federal agent? It doesn't seem necessary for this. He believed that Zhang Fei could come up with a variety of ways for Li Man to meet Ritter. If Zhang Fei just wanted to pass on the last few words to Ritter, then she just let Li Man come by herself, why did she have to make it so complicated? What role did House play in this operation?
