Chapter 64 Interrogation
The Arlington County Police Department is definitely not the largest county police department in the United States. Compared with the Los Angeles County Police Department, they are half smaller.
However, they are definitely the police station with the most comprehensive personnel and equipment configuration in the United States, and even Washington often borrows people from them.
Within their jurisdiction, there are the Pentagon, the CIA, and thousands of domestic and international organizations need their protection.
Whether it is the White House or Capitol Hill, when you encounter trouble, you don’t ask the Washington police for help at the first time, but prefer them.
This has led to the county police station not only exceeding the scale of the general police station, but also providing various talent support.
Before Zhao Shanhe got into the police car, what he said to the reporters was spread to a large office on the second floor of the police station in less than three minutes.
In the office, there were dozens of middle-aged and elderly people wearing various uniforms, and each of them had a stern face.
A middle-aged man in police uniform showed an angry expression on his face, and he scolded him hatefully: "He is provoking us, provoking our American law enforcement agencies. We must send him to prison and let him know our rules."
A gentle and gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses advised: "Yalis, we all know that this matter has nothing to do with Evan Zhao, but the problem is that he is a billionaire, all under his command in the United States are lawyers, he has enough money to accompany us to sue, and we, when the case has not progressed, cannot play this game with him."
Another man in a suit in this weather nodded and said, "He is using our rules to provoke us. Being stared at by the media, we cannot use methods other than the rules.
Now, this incident has alarmed the White House and Capitol Hill. The upper class needs to know the whole story of this incident, and we need to calm it down, and we must calm it down in line with public opinion."
Sheriff Yalis looked at the man in suit, and no matter how much anger he had, he could only control himself. He muttered, "The Xiangjiang police cannot find any evidence from Zhao Shanhe, we cannot. We cannot even be sure that he has something to do with this matter."
The gentle man with glasses said, "Yes, this is the real problem. He has been under our surveillance since he got off the plane. His contact with everyone, every word he said, every call he answered, was under our surveillance. So, how this happened and who was responsible for the action, but we did not find out at all.
I can make sure that my men are all professionals, and they will never make any omissions, nor will they let Evan Zhao out of our sight.
What makes us even more confused is that the actor deliberately used weapons he used in Xiangjiang, in order to let us know that this matter has something to do with Evan Zhao.
So, what is the purpose of the actor? Do you want to help Evan Zhao or harm him? How did he bring the weapons he used in Xiangjiang to our country?
There are too many doubts and too many links that need to be investigated clearly. If we cannot find out these links, we will not be able to directly convict Evan Zhao."
The man in suit nodded and smiled: "I came on behalf of the President, not for the truth, but for the truth needed by the public. To be honest, the most important thing now is not the case itself, but for these people to attack a foreign rich man, but for the other party's patent.
America is a "free and democratic" country, and will protect any private wealth and patents in all aspects. This is our greatest advantage in the Soviet Union. This is definitely not allowed to slander anyone.
Candy, including Filson before, only saw the prospect of Evan Week's patent, but ignored our basic national policy, which is something that no one can accept.
We can allow Evan Zhao to own these patents. Whether it is cooperation, mutual authorization, or money to buy, we should guarantee Evan Zhao's rights.
Only in this way can everyone be biased towards us. This impression is more important to a country than a hundred billion US dollars.
Therefore, everything should be considered from the global perspective, rather than just seeing the influence of these patents.”
The man in glasses asked, "Helison, is this the White House's opinion?"
The man in the suit nodded. "The people with insight in Congress also have this opinion. Moreover, we also believe that Evan Zhao will eventually choose to cooperate with us, because in the electronics and computer industries, we have always been at the forefront of the world, and we also have countless technologies favored by Evan Zhao in our hands."
As soon as this was said, most of the other people in the conference room looked even more ugly. Most of them were policemen and investigators, and they were concerned about the case itself, not politics.
But now, Hellison has understood that everything must be served by politics.
Now that the tone is set, they can only follow the normal procedures.
They can investigate the case itself, but it is difficult to open the gap from Evan Zhao.
Moreover, based on the clues we have now, it is almost impossible to investigate the entire case clearly.
Because there are too many doubts here, the fragmented evidence they have now cannot involve Evan Zhao at all.
Is it because of these things that these people have something to do with him?
On the other side of the Potomac River, in an ordinary four-story white building on Constitution Street, a group of people gathered together because of Zhao Shanhe.
"I withdrew from this plan. From the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers' At the first time to notice Evan Zhao's patent, to the Institute of Engineering, there have been five institutions and eleven companies that have lost their lives.
It has exceeded eighty lives, which is so scary. Although Evan Zhao’s patent is important and can create countless benefits in the future, there must be a prerequisite, that is, to enjoy it with a life."
"Mark, are you scared?"
"Yes, I won't deny my timidity, because it's all too unreasonable."
Their dispute did not seem to alarm the others, and everyone was reading a stack of materials in their hands.
Because no one answered, the room immediately became quiet.
At the end of the conference table, an old man with gray hair and beard kept looking at a piece of information in front of him. Seeing that the room had become quiet, he raised his eyelids and looked at it, and said, "Indeed, this is a vortex, a vortex of money. As long as everyone gets close, they will be attracted in and can never come out."
On his left was a young man who was almost the youngest among all, with a kind appearance and a warm smile on his face.
He asked, "Professor Quakley, this should be just a business, isn't it?"
The old man looked at his smiling face and was silent for a while before he spoke, "But Ax, you messed up all this."
The smile on Ax's face remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said, "Indeed, the initial plan was that we did not follow the business rules, but there should be a chance of saving all of this."
A thin old man sitting at the bottom couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Ax, just like you made a mistake in the microchannel structure bus in April, you made another big mistake.
We all know that you led the Blue Giant to make a mistake in a game, suffered heavy losses and lost market position. However, your eagerness made you make this huge mistake again.
Now, you are still embarrassed to say the opportunity to save. Even if the business can save it, what about the dead? Among them, there are more than a dozen of them who are not inferior to you and me at all. In fact, many people have a much higher status than you. You are just a worker, not even a shareholder.”
This time, Ax's smile could not be stopped. He said in a solemn manner: "Raymond, we didn't expect all this to happen. A seventeen-year-old man, you didn't take it seriously at the beginning. You agreed with this plan at the beginning. So, now something happened is not my responsibility or my mistake, but our common one."
Raymond smiled contemptuously, withdrew his gaze and sorted out the documents in front of him. "You go and explain this to the Candy family and the Remy family."
Arlington County Sheriff's Department, a convoy drove into the police station's parking lot. Except for a few police cars, most of them were media vehicles.
Although they were not allowed to enter the police station for interviews, they firmly occupied the position outside the police station, and no one could hide their eyes from entering and leaving.
With the company of two lawyers, Zhao Shanhe entered the police station gracefully. He still had the leisure to wave to the reporters around him.
Even though everyone knew that this was related to him, seeing his relaxed state, he could not associate him with the murderer.
The police station had been on high alert, and as soon as Zhao Shanhe came in, he was taken to a special interrogation room behind him.
This is the best-configured interrogation room in the police station. Not only are there three cameras that can monitor all the movements and micro-expressions of the interrogator in all directions, but it also has an oversized one-way translucent glass and complete audio, as well as an air circulation system.
In other words, even if the prisoner is treated with heating and cooling, no one can find anything wrong. Even the air circulation system can be filled with neural gases for easy interrogation.
Zhao Shanhe was invited into the interrogation room, and two lawyers in criminal cases have been with him to protect him.
So from entering the police station, they received the highest level of attention.
Zhao Shanhe sat peacefully in the trial position, facing several strong lights, but it was not turned on now.
The two lawyers kept discussing in a low voice, but he didn't say a word, observing the interrogation room with a hint of curiosity.
Outside the interrogation room, the county police station has arranged a nine-person interrogation team, and they will be divided into three groups to conduct a meticulous interrogation within the 24 hours of Zhao Shanhe assisting the investigation.
In fact, they did not expect to be detained and interrogated for 24 hours. At most, there would be a result if they should be released or detained tomorrow morning.
Both lawyers are looking for local Americans. They are proficient in the law. While discussing response strategies, they explain to Zhao Shanhe that those questions should be answered and those questions should not be answered.
Behind the one-way glass, almost all the dozens of people who were paying attention to the case filled a room. They watched Zhao Shanhe being tried through the glass, and the sound of talking in the room was directly transmitted through the speaker.
Three minutes after Zhao Shanhe and the others sat in, the three people from the first group opened the door and entered the house, and they brought a bag to Zhao Shanhe.
This is the coffee and chocolate bought by Zhou Guowei and the others. It is not yet dinner time, otherwise even dinner would be brought in.
"Name?"
“…”
"Country of Citizenship?"
“…”
"age?"
“…”
"Do you know why you should go back to the police station to assist in the investigation?"
"Because Isido Canti and others have ulterior motives for my patents, they have entanglements with me, but they are all dead now. So I am the biggest suspect."
"When did you know about Professor Isidocanti's death?"
"This morning, after I woke up, I saw countless reporters outside, and then asked the bodyguard to take it into the newspaper. I learned about this news. Zhao Shanhe looked at his watch. It was about 6:50 in the morning, and it was eight hours and thirty-five minutes away."
"How did you react after you know the news?"
"Shocked, a little bit of pleasure."
"carefree?"
"Although I regret their deaths, I only met him one time. Besides, I could feel that he had an intention to patent my own, but he did not choose the legal means to cooperate with me."
"What kind of means did he use?"
"threaten."
“How to threaten?”
"In fact, we only went through the phone call once, and then we had a brief meeting in the restaurant. I didn't know his identity before this morning, or through the newspaper, that I knew he was a 'big man'."
…………
An hour later, three people came in and brought in a heart rate tester.
A electric ring was put on Zhao Shanhe's right index finger, and a blood pressure monitor was wrapped around his wrist.
Lie detectors are legal in this country, at least now legal, and they are now full of superstition about various high-tech equipment.
However, what puzzled everyone was that this set of equipment was useless to him.
Because from beginning to end, Zhao Shanhe's heartbeat and blood pressure did not change at all.
The second set of people asked almost the same questions as the first set of people, and Zhao Shanhe's answer was the same as the first set, with no word wrong.
Outside the interrogation room, most people were bored to watch, but only those who were proficient in interrogation saw Zhao Shanhe’s difficulty.
Not to mention that it is during the interrogation process, even if it is not interrogation, a person enters the sealed room and sits for more than two hours, and there is no emotional change.
Zhao Shanhe is like a robot now. Other people's emotions will change, and their heartbeat and blood pressure will also change accordingly, but Zhao Shanhe's is not.
After more than two hours entering this room, no physiological phenomenon changed at all.
