Chapter 41: Soaring Acting Skills
"That's the way it is."
Harpy told the group of people in front of him about Stark's meeting with Edward, and the relevant meetings were also monitored.
The composition of this group of people is very complicated, the FBI, the CIA, the people arranged by Rhodes, and Stark's personal secretary Pepper, and the company's vice president Obadai were originally there, but after staying for a while, he had to leave, after all, he needed to deal with many affairs in the company.
These people were originally at the FBI headquarters, discussing Stark's disappearance, and Edward suddenly called Harpy, and the speakerphone was turned on here, and everyone listened together.
Now there is such a circle of people, with different expressions.
But I feel that this thing is strange, and there is something wrong with this person.
"Is this it?" An FBI guy pulled up a surveillance video of Edward and Stark talking at the bar.
"When we were investigating all the people who had been in contact with Stark lately, when we asked people to look for him, he wasn't at home, his phone was off all the time, so my men ambushed him at his house."
"Surveillance footage shows that he has been in the southwest of Manhattan during the day, near Liberty Island, but suddenly entered the surveillance blind spot in the evening and his whereabouts are suspicious." The people at the CIA said.
"Although Stark was in the surveillance footage of Liberty Island when he disappeared, this does not rule out his suspicion, and besides, the thief he stopped yesterday died, and the group of thugs who chased him mysteriously disappeared and died, which is very suspicious."
"Wait." Pepper paused, "You're saying that Tony's disappearance has something to do with this child?" ”
The two FBI and CIA agents looked at each other and smiled, but only bitterly, saying, "I just feel that his whereabouts are a little strange, and we hope to get clues." ”
——
Edward was taken to an interrogation room in the FBI, where some suspicious things from Edward's house were also brought over, including his notebook, including the paintings on his desk, and everything in his house was photographed, except for the beetle.
"You said you were going to Stark, do you know where he is?" On one side of the table was a man in a suit with gold-rimmed eyes, looking suave and looking at Edward with interest.
"I don't know, that's why I called."
"You don't even know where he is, why are you going?"
"He's helped me, and I hope I can help him."
"You should know that normal people will not even care about their own lives to save a person whose life and death are uncertain because someone has helped a little favor."
Edward's face was calm: "There is an old saying in the East, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated. ”
"Okay, Edward, right?"
"Yes."
The man in the suit pushed his glasses, "Edward, this is not the first time we have looked for you, at 19:46, we have looked for you, but you are not at home, the phone is turned off, our people have passed from the surveillance video, and when they look for you, can you explain what you are doing?" ”
"19 o'clock?" Edward's expression of remembrance began to say the lines that had been prepared long ago, "I'm already sleeping." ”
"Sleep?" This answer is indeed a bit unexpected by the man in the suit: "Where?" None of the hotels have your registration file. ”
"On the street. Or in the alley, inside a warm cardboard box. ”
The man in the suit frowned, "Big winter? Sleeping like a homeless man in a cardboard box in an alley outside of a surveillance camera? Why don't you go home and sleep. ”
"......" Edward was silent, looking at the camera, "it's safe there." ”
"I know it's safe there, but I want to know, you've been wandering around that neighborhood since you went out during the day, and when evening came you suddenly disappeared from the camera, and after you disappeared, something happened on Liberty Island, and you made me believe that it was a coincidence?!" The man in the suit slapped the table.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I only went there because there were a lot of people, it was safe, and there was no need to be afraid."
The agent asked, "Scared, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm afraid that those thugs are looking for me and killing me, I don't know the specifics." Edward shook his head.
"You don't know, so why are you afraid? Why are they looking for you and arresting you? The man in the suit asked.
"I don't know, I just know it's dangerous...... But I don't know why it's dangerous and where it's dangerous. I didn't dare to stay at home alone, I saw information on Liberty Island on the Internet, it was heavily guarded, and I could run to it for help if something happened nearby, so I felt safe. ”
"Huh?" The man in the suit almost laughed out loud, "You sleep outside like a homeless man in the winter, just because you are inexplicably afraid?" What are you afraid of? Didn't you pay your taxes? The guards around Liberty Island won't help you. ”
Edward continued to shake his head, "I don't know, I have amnesia. ”
"Amnesia?" The man in the suit took a folder and opened it, "You reported in Chicago that you came to treat amnesia and were robbed twice, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Okay, so do you remember that you were originally from the East?"
"I ......," Edward clutched his head, "no...... I have as long as I can remember, right here, met Mr. Stark and Mr. Wayne......"
"Strange environments, strange people, you can only feel safe in places where there are enough people, and where there are enough guards, right?"
"It's not all ...... I don't have any memory of how I came here, but I suddenly have a complete identity information, which is unreasonable, and it is easy for someone who can handle such a complete information to catch me. ”
The man in the suit knocked on Erlang's leg, knocked on the table, and stared at Edward, "But when you changed your nationality, didn't you think that you would be afraid?" ”
"Change of nationality? I don't remember any immigration or change of nationality, but ...... I shouldn't have done it, I don't have any money. Edward said, "All the money I'm spending now is from Mr. Stark and Mr. Wayne. ”
"Maybe when you changed your nationality, you spent all the money when you came over?" The man in the suit asked.
——
In the other room, Pepper looked at the man in the suit on the screen dissatisfied, "Obviously I want to ask about things outside the bar, why did this move to Freedom Island." ”
Harpy shook his head calmly, "They knew about those gangsters and the information of those missing people from the beginning, they knew from the beginning that Edward had nothing to do with this matter, and the current interrogation was only because of the matter on Liberty Island, where the duty lies." ”
Pepper was surprised: "Do you think there is really something wrong with this child?" ”
"Nope." Harpy shook his head, "He doesn't have any contact with us, he doesn't have any physical contact with the boss or me.
We've reviewed the information he's been able to hear many times during his time in the bar, and it's not a secret itinerary to get to the awards.
Before and after meeting him, I was pretty sure that the boss definitely didn't have any bugs or pinhole cameras on him, and that there was no way the kid could do anything.
On the contrary, the identities of those missing people were not deliberately hidden at all, and the mercenaries from the Central Continent could easily find their information on the dark web.
Mr. Wayne has a video of the gangsters trading with the Ten Rings, and the FBI must have it, and Mr. Wayne has reminded him to be careful, but he doesn't care.
The thugs took their money to do things, but Edward was knocked out, and instead he was remembered, so he was chased and killed when he got out of the bar.
Strictly speaking, he was also a victim like Mr. ”
Pepper breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the focus was not for Stark, and then he was a little dissatisfied with being borrowed.
"But he is also a victim of another serious case, he only saw the video of being kidnapped in Dongguo before he was kidnapped, he was kidnapped and came here and was almost killed, and now they are using tourism and applying for green cards to induce them."
Harpy was silent, "The water of Edward's disappearance is too deep, even if he is a victim, he must ......" Harpy covered his face, he really couldn't find any excuses.
"Well, they are purely because the pressure on Liberty Island is too much, and they casually find someone to interrogate, and it has nothing to do with Mr."
Little Pepper was speechless and thought about it, from the appearance of the "whistleblower man" to the confirmation, and now, the entire FBI is indeed busy, so there is some understanding.
Looking at Edward, who was being questioned, he asked, "You said before, what was Tony's first time when he met him?" ”
"For the first time? At the Chicago branch, his clothes were rotten into strips of cloth and his face was black and gray, and the boss saw him like this, and he was angry with Mr. Wayne and gave him all the money and wallet.
Well, but then he sold the wallet, and the boss asked me to buy it back, and I heard that Mr. Wayne did the same......"
"Tony spent three million on his own wallet?!" Pepper screamed.
"Uh." Harpy nodded awkwardly, "It's the same with Master Wayne's side." ”
Little Pepper helped his forehead, once it involved the eldest young master of the Wayne family, Tony's concept of money, which he didn't have much, completely collapsed.
