"I'll take care of the arrangents. It's not about what you want now, it's about what I give you.
And my attitude depends on your performance." Lynn Brouss sat back down beside the interrogation table, her tone indisputable, "Tell everything you know, the motives for the terrorist attack, the laboratory making biochemical weapons, raw materials, the more detailed, the better."
Listening to Lynn Brouss interrogate, Luke didn't interrupt. He was secretly learning FBI interrogation thods.
There's no denying, this departnt is indeed quite straightforward and violent.
Lynn Brouss's attitude was always clear: if you don't talk, I'll make you suffer, make life worse than death for you. Here, terrorists have no human rights.
If this were the LAPD, a suspect threatened like that would have called a lawyer already.
In terms of intimidation, the FBI far surpasses the Los Angeles Police Departnt.
Severo Joli exclaid, "In 2018, I was sent to the Middle East to conduct research on biochemical weapons.
We did many experints, the subjects were local terrorists we captured, the thods were cruel, but indeed broke so technical shackles, achieving remarkable results.
In 2020, I began to feel unwell. Although not yet diagnosed, I knew my body well. I knew sothing was seriously wrong, so I applied to return ho for treatnt.
Soon after returning ho, I was diagnosed with Yagora syndro.
I found that there were only a few cases of this syndro globally, with only 3 to 4 years between onset and death. And because there are so few cases, dical institutions know very little about the syndro, there's no dication to treat Yagora syndro at all.
I don't want to die.
I approached several pharmaceutical companies, hoping to ask them to develop related dication. I know they have the capability, but they all refused without exception.
The reason is simple: too few people get this disease, even fewer need the drugs, and the cost of developing the dication is too high. They not only wouldn't profit, they couldn't even recover their costs. So, in a way, they were sentencing to death.
I don't want to die, so I must save myself.
But self-rescue is easier said than done; I'm a biochemical weapon expert, not an expert in drug developnt. Faced with this syndro, I had no solution, so I had to use other ans to save myself."
Lynn Brouss asked, "Your way of saving yourself was to orchestrate terrorist attacks."
"Yes, that's what I do best. Those pharmaceutical companies think too few people get this syndro? Then I'll create more cases, so they'll have the incentive to develop treatnt drugs. Even if they don't want to, the governnt would force them to develop it.
And I also found out that a small group of people are immune to the virus causing this syndro. If I could obtain that person's blood and bone marrow, there's a chance to develop a special treatnt drug.
I know this plan is unlikely to succeed, but it is my only option."
"How did you et Tapani Reagan?"
"t him in the Middle East. His team once provided us with protection, and we got along well back then.
Not long after I returned to the States, he also retired.
He's just as unlucky as , not much better off. I'm close to being physically dead, he's close to being spiritually dead.
When I saw him again, he had already beco a holess man. I bought him a drink, we talked, and shared our miseries. I could feel his hostility toward the governnt and society.
So, I pulled him into the terrorist organization.
His idea was to kill the adulterer, and I helped him achieve that. If God told him about it, I think he would be very happy."
Lynn Brouss asked, "How did you get involved with Middle Eastern terrorists?"
"Producing biochemical weapons requires funds, laboratories, and raw materials, just myself couldn't handle it. And, I needed an excuse to stage biochemical attacks, so I collaborated with Middle Eastern terrorists who wanted to rescue terrorist leader L338, while I purely wanted to execute biological attacks.
I understand the Arican governnt well; they will never release a terrorist leader, which gives a pretext to continue launching biochemical attacks.
Until the Arican governnt forces pharmaceutical companies to develop a special drug for Yagora syndro or finds soone immune to the virus.
If I was solely conducting biochemical attacks, you guys could easily guess my purpose, and then I would be extrely passive without any chance of success.
As for those Middle Eastern terrorists, they also are pleased to recruit a terrorist on Arican soil, so we hit it off."
Luke asked, "Did you also kill freelance investigative journalist Anette Stone?"
"Yes, that slaughterhouse was one of our bases. Anette Stone was doing a news investigation on retired veterans. He followed Tapani Reagan to the slaughterhouse and saw things he shouldn't have seen.
We had to kill him, then use the cold storage and machines to dispose of his body.
I know it sounds cruel, but I didn't think much at the ti, just wanted to handle the body in the simplest way."
With Severo Joli's testimony, the dismbernt case can also be closed.
After that, they questioned Severo Joli about the location of the biochemical weapon manufacturing, raw materials, funding sources, etc.
The interrogation lasted more than two hours.
Leaving the interrogation room, Luke was starved, feeling his stomach touching his back.
But he was in a good mood, the crisis of a potential biochemical attack was lifted.
The door to the adjacent observation room also opened, and out ca an elderly white lady of short stature, gray-haired, kind face, and she approached Luke to shake hands, "Hi, Luke, pleased to et you."
Luke shook her hand and looked inquiringly at Lynn Brouss.
Lynn Brouss didn't speak, just stood quietly aside, her reaction was easily readable.
"I might as well introduce myself, I'm Aysha Gard, the head of the FBI Los Angeles Field Office."
"Pleased to et you, Madam."
"Likewise, young man, welco to join the FBI Los Angeles Field Office.
I've already prepared an office for you, you can move in anyti.
Co on, I'll show you around."
