Legendary FBI Detective

Chapter 218: Interrogation Techniques and Successful Deception



Seeing the scene in the monitoring room, Team Leader Linden furrowed his brows and said in a low voice:

"Chief Reenith, isn't Agent Luo An's interrogation method a bit inappropriate?"

Wouldn't it be appropriate to talk terms with Earley out of compassion and reason at this time, and make Earley reveal clues related to Bevin Haiman?

Reenith glanced at Linden, her arms folded across her chest, and said indifferently:

"I trust Deputy Team Leader Luo An."

"..."

Linden's eyelid twitched. You trust him, but I don't!

However, seeing that everyone in the monitoring room had a normal expression, Linden took a deep breath and decided to continue watching.

Inside the interrogation room.

"Fu-k You!"

Hearing Luo An's words, Earley felt like his lungs were about to explode and he couldn't hold it in any longer.

Bang!

But just as he opened his mouth to curse, Luo An suddenly slammed the table with a dark face, and said loudly:

"What right do you have to be angry!

You killed a federal agent! She was like our own sister!

Do you understand what this means?"

The thunderous slam of the table by Luo An gave Earley a big scare. As Earley prepared to answer the question he heard, Luo An leaned in close to Earley, saying in an extremely cold and low voice:

"This means that your life in prison is going to be extremely wonderful, and when you encounter difficulties, the guards and inmates will offer their assistance to you without asking for anything in return."

"Son of a bitch!"

Earley slowly turned his head, asking through gritted teeth:

"Are you threatening me?"

"No."

Luo An shook his head, the cold look on his face vanishing instantly, replaced by a warm and sunny smile:

"Didn't I just say, I was only helping you to imagine the scenario of your life in prison.

After all, you're the mastermind behind the organized and premeditated killing of our FBI agents, how could we not offer some help?"

"Mastermind?"

Hearing this word, and thinking of being a pawn to enjoy life in jail while the true culprit who sent someone to kill him remains unscathed, and might even send more people to kill him once he's in jail, Earley suddenly couldn't sit still:

"What do you mean? You think I'm the mastermind behind this?"

Luo An spread his hands:

"If not you? You're the murderer, and you have the strongest motive. If not you then who?"

"Fu-k!"

Earley slammed the table fiercely and shouted angrily:

"The mastermind is definitely not me, I was just following orders! The person who really gave the orders is..."

At this point, Earley suddenly stiffened, and his words stopped abruptly.

Inside the monitoring room, seeing Earley sitting back down in the chair, looking at Luo An with uncertainty, Team Leader Linden's emotions surged and he almost didn't catch his breath.

Reenith, Augustus, and others had a slight change of expression, and Mona clasped her hands together, staring intently at the screen, silently praying for Luo An.

Reesi inside the interrogation room also felt her heart skip a beat.

However, Luo An had predicted this might happen before the interrogation began, so he had already told Reesi to not panic when this happens, just put her head down and write without talking.

So Reesi silently marveled at Luo An's foresight while continuing to write without any other actions.

Luo An himself was not flustered at all, looked at the time on his watch, and even took a sip of coffee:

"Still not admitting it under these circumstances, still thinking of framing someone else?

You should know, lying in front of the FBI is not a good practice, is it?"

"Shit!"

Seeing Reesi with no other action or expression, and Luo An with a calm face filled with contempt and disdain, Earley cursed quietly, his whole being starting to fill with doubt and suspicion.

Earley suspected that the FBI had already found out that the real mastermind behind the scenes wasn't him, that he was just a pawn, and that today's interrogation was actually just a means to find evidence through him.

But suspicions aside, Earley found that he had no evidence, no one had told him whether the FBI had found the assassin and the assassin's real identity.

And the female agent sitting in front of him didn't care, just kept her head down writing; the male agent who arrested him, apart from provoking him with words, also kept checking the time, completely looking like they were just killing time and having fun...

Seeing Earley's face switch from one expression to another, Luo An's expression remained the same, but deep inside he nodded in recognition; he had guessed what Earley was thinking.

But Earley had no choice, because in the current situation he was the weaker party, after all, he was the one going to jail.

Even if Luo An and the others didn't catch the real culprit behind the scenes, they wouldn't suffer too much loss afterward, but Earley himself might continue to be targeted for murder by the mastermind...

And if they really used Team Leader Linden's method, trying to reach an agreement with Earley through kindness and reasoning, who knows what outrageous demands Earley might make once he finds himself in a stronger position.

Luo An was never comfortable being passive, no matter when.

After sipping his coffee, Luo An mocked Earley a few more times, then drained his coffee in one gulp, stood up, clapped his hands, and said:

"Let's go, Reesi, the process is over, it's time to send Earley to jail to await trial."

"OK."

Reesi nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave the interrogation room.

But just as she was about to leave, Earley suddenly shouted:

"Hold on, I have a clue to tell!"

Luo An completely ignored him and walked out of the interrogation room.

Reesi, following what Luo An had told her earlier, pretended to be slightly startled, after a few seconds of silence, she glanced toward the corridor outside the interrogation room, then slowly turned around and asked in a low voice:

"What do you want to say?"

Seeing Reesi's action, Earley subconsciously cast her in the role of an agent who is often bullied by Luo An, sighed, and then said firmly:

"I'm just a simple assassin, not the real mastermind, I have evidence!"

Inside the monitoring room, Vireness, Augustus, Reed, Mona, and others saw Luo An push the door open and come in, all stood up, and cheered for him with applause:

"Well done!"

"Luo An, you're amazing!"

"Truly cool!"

At this moment, Team Leader Linden also stood up and applauded Luo An.

He had now fully understood Luo An's tactics, nothing but a combination of good cop, bad cop and gambling with the opponent's hand.

But to combine these two methods so perfectly... one can only say that it's not surprising from someone who became an assistant team leader at 25, he truly has skills.

Thinking of this, and then of his own son who accomplished nothing, who had a loud argument with him last night and wouldn't admit defeat, Team Leader Linden's face darkened in an instant.

Tonight, with a belt!

Team Leader Linden's son: "…"

Luo An smiled humbly and waved his hands, then turned his gaze to the monitor on the side.

In the interrogation room, Reesi kept urging Earley to speak quickly and get to the point, her tone a bit impatient, but Earley didn't mind, he quickly finished telling where the evidence was hidden, and when Reesi was about to leave, he repeatedly waved his hands to express his thanks:

"Agent ma'am, thank you so much for your hard work!"

"..."x6

Hearing this, Reesi almost stumbled as she closed the door, and the people in the monitoring room wore complex and peculiar expressions on their faces, then once again applauded for Luo An.

When Reesi entered the monitoring room, it was another round of laughter and teasing, and then they discovered that the evidence Earley mentioned was hidden in a bank, a notebook and ledger.

Seeing this, Vireness spoke in a solemn voice:

"Reed, go get the evidence back immediately."

"No problem!"

Watching Reed quickly leave the Investigation Team No. 5, Vireness nodded with satisfaction, and then pulled Luo An's arm, quickly walked into the nearby conference room.

Luo An: "???"

Mona: "!!!"
