born criminal

Chapter 56

Several soldiers stood at the sentry post in front of the government building, standing at attention with their guns, taking the place of the security guards.

The atmosphere in the building was also tense. Chen Jian, Fang Xing, Douglas, Huang Puyuan and others were all isolated separately, each guarded by a United Nations policeman. It was said to be an investigation, but it was actually an interrogation.

Yang Zhou didn't dare to rush forward, and looked at the glass door of Building No. [-] from outside the fence.The sunlight extended several meters into the building, illuminating the square floor at the door, and further ahead, the light was suddenly swallowed, leaving only a shadowy darkness, with occasional black shadows flashing past.

This scene seemed to indicate something, and Yang Zhou, who had never been superstitious, gradually began to sweat from his palms. He is very clear about UNPO's methods. Nowadays, the whole process of interrogation needs to be audio-video-recorded. Naturally, he does not dare to force a confession, but threats, temptations, and traps are acquiesced and even encouraged.No matter how strong the psychological quality of the person being interrogated is, there is a high possibility that mistakes will be made during the continuous interrogation without sleep for several days.Sometimes an expression, a sentence blurted out when one is irritated, is the key to success or failure.

Yang Zhou tried his best to calm himself down, but his mind was buzzing and he couldn't come up with a useful idea.

"Mr. Yang." Someone called him from behind, it was the voice of a well-tuned intelligent robot after thousands of trials.

Yang Zhou felt disgusted in his heart, staring at the rectangular black hole in the distance, without looking back.During these few months of companionship, Andrew has become more and more "like a human being", and Yangzhou unknowingly also regards him as a

comrades.Because of this, he was outraged when Andrew ruined his plan.

He thought he could destroy a dangerous weapon and at the same time save the situation at Base [-], but in the end he fell short because he forgot to guard against Andrew.Yangzhou knows that it is absurd to care about artificial intelligence, but people are like this, the more emotions they invest in, the deeper the injury will be when the arrow turns to him.

For a moment he thought of Chen Jian, and his whole body fell into an ice cellar.

"I'm sorry." Andrew apologized, "I notified Mr. Jeffrey as soon as the B75 was destroyed. I didn't know you wanted to make a deal with him."

What he said may be true. After all, Andrew has his own value system, and he once begged Eric to change the commander because he disagreed with Jeffrey's approach.

But Yangzhou felt extremely tired, and he was in no mood to blame or blame.He stared at the door that separated the light from the dark, uncontrollably imagining what happened inside and the consequences that followed.

"Mr. Yang, please trust me..."

Andrew was still defending, but Yang Zhou interrupted him upset.Some of the soldiers on guard noticed them, exchanged glances, and walked towards them.

Andrew hurriedly pulled Yang Zhou's sleeve, saying that it is not suitable to show up now.Yangzhou's mind was in a mess, he couldn't think of a way out, couldn't figure out what to do, so he simply followed.

Not far away is the central square, and there are several children playing in the open space.Yangzhou found a chair and sat down, Andrew was very knowledgeable and didn't follow.

His position is facing a candy store, which is where Lily's mother bought the sun and rain.Now there is a lot of people inside, and the parents are arguing to get some candy for their children.

A middle-aged man with a camera on his back squeezed out of the store, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and then opened his collar to fan the air.He took two quick steps, and when he looked up and saw Yang Zhou, his face showed surprise, "Mr. Yang! Are you still in the city? I called you a lot a few days ago, but no one answered."

Yang Zhou cheered up a little, and smiled at him, "Mr. Smith, long time no see, what are you doing?"

"Writing a manuscript." Smith walked quickly to sit next to Yangzhou, and asked him why he had been missing for a while. "I thought you were gone. The editor-in-chief of the "Daily Mail" called me just now and advised me to leave quickly." He pointed at the surging crowd, "I didn't think so at first, but look at the situation, ten and a half days You might starve to death here in a month."

"No." Yangzhou was still very sure of this point, "The government and the parliament are not fools."

"That being said." Smith sighed, and asked Yangzhou about B75, "I saw people from the investigation team cordon off the government office building, and this time the matter is serious. You are from the Ministry of Justice, do you have any inside information?"

Yang Zhou's identity was fake, he shook his head, "This is under UNPO's control."

"I don't want to believe it in my heart, but the evidence provided by Bernard is too convincing. Just now I heard a few residents talking in the store. They are very dissatisfied with Chen Jian. They feel that he caused all this and want him to step down immediately. ..."

A burst of sharp anger suddenly rose, Yangzhou quickly took a breath, swallowed the phrase "foolish people", and said lightly, "It's normal."

His subtle distaste did not escape the reporter's keen eyes. Smith smiled tolerantly, looked down at the marble floor and said, "It's really normal. No matter how loudly the slogan of freedom is shouted during the parade, once the basic quality of life Without security, people just want to maintain the status quo.”

Yangzhou glanced at the candy store, but said nothing.

The overhead lights were all turned on, and the office was blindingly bright.Through the gap in the curtains, a line of dark blue sky can be seen - night has fallen.

Antonio pushed aside the cold coffee and let out a deep breath.The man sitting across from him remained calm, and even smiled with concern, asking him if he wanted to take a break.

Antonio smelled provocation.Damn it, he cursed in his heart while telling himself to calm down.

"Let's not talk about B75 for the time being," Antonio said, intending to start from another aspect. "My colleague checked the government financial reports of the No. [-] base in the past few years, and found that there were several inconsistencies in the budget and final accounts, which were deliberately flattened." Mr. Chen, such a large amount of money—” He made a hand gesture, indicating that the amount was huge, “Where did you spend it?”

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Jian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Mr. Statham—oh, or you can call him Antonio according to your request. I have only been in office for ten months. How can I account for the accounting problems of the previous few years?" It's on my head."

Antonio clenched his fists and slammed on the table as a warning. "Ms. Cao Wanqing from your civil affairs department told me," he narrowed his eyes, "you and Fang Xing have been with Vladimir for a long time, and they have great power. You were all in control of the finances in the past few years. And, Vladimir Kimir died in a strange way too, don't you think?"

"I don't think so," Chen Jian lowered his eyes, hiding the exhaustion caused by several hours of mental stress, "That woman just loves to talk nonsense."

Antonio had never encountered such a difficult prisoner. His patience was on the verge of exhaustion. He slapped the table and stood up, menacingly: "Very well, Chen Jian, continue to argue, I swear I will definitely put you in prison!"

"Pay attention to your words, officer." Chen Jian pointed to the camera diagonally in front, "We are recording."

Antonio slammed the door of the office, and casually ordered a white dove colleague, "Go and ask!"

He was pacing back and forth in the corridor, and the subordinates next to him did not dare to show their air. The three Rose faction policemen—the task assigned to them by Antonio was to ask the general civil servants in the building. At this moment, the work was over and nothing was gained Useful news, so I came to watch Antonio's excitement, and at the same time secretly reported the progress to Jeffrey.

A policeman named Long had a good relationship with Antonio, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a cigarette.Antonio finished inhaling in two or three puffs, and asked loudly, "How is it? Is there any result from the other people's interrogation?"

He didn't know who he was asking these words to, and he made no secret of his arrogance.Of course, the three members of the rose faction would not respond, and the neutral faction was dissatisfied with his superior attitude and pretended not to hear.Antonio waited for two seconds and hummed heavily.In fact, he didn't need these idiots to answer. He arranged for the interrogation of all important people to the White Dove Faction.

Sure enough, Lang En very cooperatively came to his ear and reported, "Fang Xing hasn't made any progress. He seems to have been stimulated by something, and his mind is abnormal. He doesn't say a word, and he can't perceive the outside world at all. Douglas didn't spit out any important clues." , but he is obviously guilty, and he may let go after a few more hours. Huang Puyuan doesn't know what to do, so he should be a real outsider, but the chief auditing section under him, I think I can try again. "

Antonio nodded, his irritable mood eased slightly.

An hour later, the colleague who was interrogating Chen Jian came out with nothing and lit his powder keg again.

"Damn it," Antonio gritted his teeth and scolded, "if it wasn't for that group of rubbish advocating human rights lobbying the parliament, so that the result of the polygraph test can't be used as the only evidence for conviction, he would have gone to jail a long time ago!"

It's been a long night.Shops in the central district closed gradually, and the stocks of department stores, medicines, cosmetics, and all goods were wiped out within a day.The shopkeepers are both happy and worried.The crowd gradually receded, and as the last door was locked, the whole city fell into a deep sleep.Yangzhou was still huddled on that bench. In the warm and cold weather, his hands and feet were freezing cold, and he couldn't sleep, so he had to open his eyes to look at the stars in the sky.

In the middle of the night, Andrew came over and said to book him a hotel.Although his mobile phone, credit card, and wallet are all with Chen Jian, Andrew has some cash with him, which is enough.

Yang Zhou rejected his offer.

In the government building 200 meters away, several windows were still lit, and it was clear that the interrogation was going on all night.This was a difficult contest, and Yang Zhou could not participate in it. He sat here, maybe it was self-punishment, maybe it was a unilateral companionship, and he hoped that some kind of god would bless Chen Jian to pass this test.

He really couldn't think of a way out, and Geoffrey wasn't willing to help, and couldn't help.He couldn't get in touch with a big man like Mr. Walker, and even if he did, he didn't have any bargaining chips at hand.

Yangzhou's mind was in a mess, with countless voices screaming or whispering, without a moment of peace.Sometimes in a daze, he thought of Chen Jian's back leaving the laboratory, shivered without warning, and then began to pick his nails nervously.

The dark sky gradually changed color, became lighter and more transparent, and Yang Zhou was immersed in his own world, until a beam of golden sunlight dazzled his eyes, and he raised his head, only to find a new bright future. The day has come.

He remembered the day when he and Chen Jian watched the sunrise not long after he came to the base, his eyes suddenly became moist, and at the same time he believed for no reason that things would turn around.
