This is sowhat a heart-crushing statent, but it is not without reason. Throughout the entire capture process, Honey List didn't retaliate and maintained enough restraint.
It indeed doesn't seem like the style of a terrorist.
"Ring ring..." Luke's phone rang, the screen displaying the number of FBI Deputy Director Lynn Brouss.
"Marcus, take him to the car. Do not question him for now, and don't let anyone co into contact with him."
"OK, I'll take good care of this soldier."
Luke walked aside and pressed the answer button, "This is Luke."
The voice of Lynn Brouss ca from the phone, "Consultant Li, did you catch him?"
"Yes, we caught Honey List. His car was overturned, but he didn't retaliate, and he didn't have weapons. Did you find anything at his house?"
"The weapons in his house amounted to only a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle. No suspicious explosives or related chemical materials were found.
In his ho safe, we found dication for treating ntal depression. Normally, people wouldn't keep dications they frequently take in a safe, which leads to suspect that he stopped taking them on his own, likely worsening his ntal condition."
Luke pondered for a mont, "During the capture process, he didn't make any moves to retaliate. Based on your experience, does he seem like a terrorist?"
Lynn Brouss replied, "It's hard to say. So highly intelligent terrorists like to disguise themselves as harmless creatures, and such individuals are precisely the most dangerous.
If you're unsure, you can hand him over to for interrogation."
Luke said, "I want to talk to him first."
"Okay, keep in touch."
Luke ended the call and called over Jackson, "Do you think he looks like a terrorist?"
Jackson showed a thoughtful expression, "He didn't inquire first when he saw the police searching his house but instead ran away imdiately. This action is indeed sowhat suspicious.
However, during the capture process, he truly didn't exhibit any extre behavior nor made feel threatened; I also find it sowhat contradictory."
"You don't need to think too much now. Just tell your intuition."
"I think he should have ntal issues, but probably not a terrorist."
"Whether he is a terrorist or not, you've done great this ti." Luke patted Jackson's shoulder and headed towards the police car holding Honey List.
Investigations rely on teamwork, and Luke hopes his subordinates can have the ability to take charge independently.
Luke opened the car door and unlocked the handcuffs on Honey List, "Buddy, let's get out and talk a bit."
Honey List rubbed his wrists and looked at Luke, "I told you, I'm not a terrorist. Can I leave now?"
Considering comprehensively, Luke also thinks that the likelihood of Honey List being a terrorist is low.
But that doesn't an he has no connection with this case. Luke hopes to unearth so valuable clues from him.
He can sense Honey List's wariness towards the police, and what Luke needs to do now is eliminate his wariness and make him voluntarily cooperate with the police.
Simultaneously, during the conversation, Luke will pay attention to his expressions. If he shows signs of lying, it indicates he is likely a terrorist skilled at disguising himself.
Luke handed him a cigarette, helping him light it, preparing to enter a heart-to-heart mode, "Buddy, I'm sorry for visiting your trench without your consent.
But I must say, you did dig it well."
Honey List took a puff of his cigarette, "You also overturned my mom's car; she lent it to .
Better give a reasonable explanation, or I'll definitely sue you."
"Don't worry about the car; the FBI anti-terrorism unit will provide you with satisfying compensation."
"I don't want money," Honey List questioned loudly, "Why do you treat as a terrorist? I have spilled blood for this country, and this is the outco I get?"
"I understand your feelings and know you're not happy after retiring. We're not targeting you, but the city has suffered a terrorist attack, and we'll suspect everyone related to it." Luke took the tablet from the little black hand, opened a few photos of the bombing scene, and showed them to Honey List.
"If the attacker is not found in ti, this city will suffer a new round of attacks in ten hours.
You and your family also live in Los Angeles, and I believe you don't want such incidents to happen."
After looking at the photos, Honey List's tone was much calr, "Why do you think I'm related to the bombing case?"
"Do you know Anette Stone?"
"Yes, he's an independent investigative journalist. I contacted him recently. Is this bombing case related to him?"
"He's dead, and died tragically." Luke opened a few photos of the dismbernt case and showed them to Honey List.
"Oh my god, was it done by terrorists? Anette was a good person; he shouldn't be treated like this!"
"It's not certain yet, but according to our investigation, the site where he was killed and dismbered is at the slaughterhouse where you once worked."
"Is that why you suspect I'm a terrorist?"
"Not only that, we also found bomb-making-related chemicals in the slaughterhouse.
Shortly after that, there was an explosion in the news departnt of the television station.
And all these clues point to you, which is why we searched your house."
Honey List grabbed at his hair forcefully, "Ridiculous, I'm linked to terrorists. I can explain, I'm not involved in the bombing case."
