Walter wasn’t afraid of the nuclear detonation; he was afraid of the radiation. Although the radiation levels of the nuclear warhead were kept within safe limits, a layman wouldn’t know how dangerous it is to stand next to a nuclear warhead.
As for if the nuclear warhead exploded, well, even if you backed off a hundred ters, you’d die, let alone just a kiloter away.
Yang Yi didn’t bother to walk away, because he wouldn’t be staying next to the warhead for long.
"Contact the FBI people."
Yang Yi said from the side, and Walter took out his phone. He first called Porter, and when Porter answered, he quickly said, "Sir, we’ve caught the prey, alive."
After a mont of waiting, Walter said deeply, "Yes, you can let them enter the scene."
After hanging up the phone, Walter said, "The FBI people should be here soon. Shall we just wait here?"
"Hmm, let’s just wait. I want to see how the FBI people handle things."
Walter jumped out of the car. He and Yang Yi took a few steps to the side, and then, with a face full of relief, said, "Alright, now I can finally relax. Getting this done ans our mission is truly complete."
Yang Yi said in a low voice, "Do you think the FBI can find any clues?"
Walter looked around and said, "There will definitely be clues, but even if they find them, what good will it do? Can they conduct an in-depth investigation?"
"I an, can they find any clues!"
Walter glanced at Yang Yi and said, "Do you really need to ask that? It seems like you’re pretending not to know sothing. Co on, don’t put on a newbie act in front of . I know how capable you really are."
Actually, Yang Yi really wasn’t sure about the FBI’s capabilities because he hadn’t interacted with them much. Although the FBI had been infiltrated by cleaners to the point of being full of holes, and many cleaners he dealt with were FBI people, he hadn’t officially worked with the FBI.
But with the conversation at this point, what else could Yang Yi say?
Chatting idly, about forty minutes passed, and several helicopters flew over.
Helicopters landed, and four people jogged over. When they reached the pickup truck, one person first showed identification to Walter and then said with an annoyed face, "Who told you to co on your own? Why did you act without authorization? Don’t you know how important and precious these clues are that you destroyed the scene?"
Walter shrugged and said, "Spare the bureaucracy. If you don’t know what’s going on, get soone smart here. Now, the nuclear warhead is here. We’ve found it and are waiting for your handover. Our task is done; it’s up to you now."
The speaker looked frustrated and angry, but Walter was completely nonchalant and said, "Alright, since it’s up to you now, what do you plan to do next?"
The leader waved his hand, and two people went to check the nuclear warhead, while one went to the front to open the car door. He looked inside the cabin, then checked the tires and license plate.
Yang Yi watched the FBI’s actions with interest, and then the leader said, "There’s nothing more for you to do here; you can leave."
Walter wanted to leave, but Yang Yi shook his head and said, "No, it’s a joint operation. We need to see your progress to decide our next action, so you can’t kick us out, and you must cooperate with our work. Uh, you also have to report every step of your progress. That’s an order, right?"
Yang Yi was really annoying, at least in the eyes of the FBI people, his deanor was grating.
With a sigh, Yang Yi smiled and said, "Everyone, we are all on duty. Please fulfill your responsibilities quickly. Don’t worry, we’re just observing and won’t interfere."
The leader glanced at Yang Yi, then turned his head aside and spoke into his walkie-talkie, "Secure the scene. Don’t let anyone else in before these damned idiots destroy it. Yes, no one is allowed in."
After speaking, the leader walked off to one side, showing no intention to communicate further with Yang Yi, not even to exchange nas or positions.
Yang Yi looked at the one among the three who was actually working and smiled, "Hello, how should I address you? I think it’s better for us to know each other."
"John, FBI agent, cri investigation expert. How should I address you?"
"You can call Sea God."
"Alright, Sea God, I want to ask, what was the situation when you arrived? Are there any video records? And how did you know about the location?"
Yang Yi thought for a mont and said, "We were inford about the location. The scene we saw wasn’t much different from yours, except the crate was covered, and there was also a canvas over it. Besides that, there’s no difference from now."
"How was the canvas secured to the truck bed? Was it tied with a rope?"
"No, it was simply laid on top and lifted easily."
John nodded, climbed onto the truck bed, politely asked the other two to step down, then suddenly reached over and covered the box again, then draped the canvas over it once more.
After getting off the truck and observing, John stretched out a finger and said, "This vehicle ca from a distance, but the nuclear warhead was transferred. That ans the warhead wasn’t directly transported by this vehicle, but transferred onto it midway."
After thinking for a mont, John took out a phone, dialed a number, and said, "Help check the owner and residence of a vehicle."
After reporting the license plate number, John waited for a mont, then pulled out a notebook, held the phone between his shoulder and head, and said, "Alright, you can tell now. The owner is Wen Fokkes, registered address in Baltimore... wait, the owner is an African Arican, correct? Alright, I understand."
Putting down the phone, John made another call and soon said, "Start investigating a person nad Wen Fokkes. Go to his ho for a look, and if you find him, gather footage from all the nearby caras, yes, all of them. I’ll provide specific instructions later."
After hanging up, John said in a low voice, "The investigation has started?"
John nodded and said, "Yes, the investigation is underway. Preliminary results will co soon. Of course, there won’t be too favorable results, but there will definitely be so clues."
Yang Yi nodded and said, "Alright, but what do you an by no favorable results?"
John shrugged and said, "The person who delivered the warhead is experienced. He won’t leave too valuable clues for us. Though there will surely be so clues, I believe Wen Fokkes is already dead. Whether he provided the vehicle willingly or was forced, I believe he’s already dead."
