Chapter 507 Mutual Aid Association

These words are a bit murderous, but they are not completely unreasonable. During the entire arrest process, Honey List did not fight back and maintained enough restraint.

It really doesn't look like a divisive style.

"Dingling..." Luke's cell phone rang, and the number displayed on the screen was the number of FBI Deputy Director Lynn Blois.

"Marcus, take him to the car, don't ask for a while, and don't let anyone touch him."

"OK, I will take good care of this soldier."

Luke stepped aside and pressed the answer button, "This is Luke."

Lynn Blois' voice came from the phone, "Consultant Li, have you caught anyone?"

"Yes, we caught Honey Lister. His car was knocked over, but he didn't fight back, and he didn't have a weapon on him. Did you find him in his house?"

"The only weapons in his home are a pistol and a semi-automatic rifle, and no suspected explosives and related chemical raw materials were found.

The medicine for mental depression was found in the safe of his home. Normal people would not put the medicines that they often take in the safe, so I suspect that he has stopped the medicine without authorization, which may aggravate his mental problems. "

Luke pondered for a moment, "During the capture process, he didn't fight back at all. Based on your experience, does he look like a terrorist?"

Lynn Blois replied, "It's hard to say, some high-intelligence fears like to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, and this kind of person is precisely the most dangerous.

If you're not sure, you can hand it over to me for interrogation. "

Luke said, "I want to talk to him first."

"Okay, keep in touch."

Luke hung up the phone and called Jackson over, "Do you think he looks like a dino?"

Jackson showed a thoughtful look, "He saw the police searching his home, and instead of inquiring about the situation immediately, he ran away directly. This behavior is indeed a bit suspicious.

But during the arrest process, he really did not have any excessive behavior, nor did he make me feel threatened, and I also felt a little contradictory. "

"You don't need to think too much now, just tell me your intuition."

"I think he should have a mental problem, but he shouldn't be a phobia."

"Whether he's a phobia or not, you've done a great job this time." Luke patted Jackson on the shoulder and walked towards the police car that was guarding Honey Lister.

Investigating cases relies on teamwork, and Luke also hopes that his subordinates can be independent.

Luke opened the door and opened Honey Lister's handcuffs, "Dude, get out of the car and talk."

Honey List rubbed his wrists and looked at Luke, "I said, I'm not a phobia, can I go?"

After comprehensive consideration, Luke also felt that it was unlikely that Honey Lister was a terrorist.

But it doesn't mean that he has nothing to do with this case. Luke hopes to dig some valuable clues from him.

He could sense that Honey Lister was wary of the police, and what Luke had to do now was to disarm him and let him voluntarily cooperate with the police.

At the same time, Luke will also pay attention to his expression during the conversation. If he shows signs of lying, it means that he is probably a terrorist who is good at disguising.

Luke handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, and was about to start the conversation mode, "Dude, I'm sorry, I visited your trench without your permission.

But I still have to say, it's really good. "

Honey List took a puff on his cigarette, "You also overturned my mother's car, which she lent me to drive.

You better give me a reasonable explanation, or I will definitely sue you. "

"Don't worry about the car problem, the FBI Counter-Terrorism Department will give you a satisfactory compensation."

"What I want is not money." Honey List questioned loudly, "Why do you treat me as a terrorist? I sacrificed my life and blood for this country, and this is what I got in return?"

"I can understand your feelings, and I know that you are not happy after retiring. We are not targeting you, but this city has been attacked by terror, and we will doubt everyone related to it." Luke from Xiao Hei took the tablet in his hand, and clicked on a few photos of the explosion site for Honey Lister to see.

"If the assailant cannot be found in time, the city will suffer another round of attacks ten hours later.

You and your family also live in Los Angeles, and I'm sure you don't want that to happen either. "

After seeing the photos, Honey List calmed down a lot, "Why do you think I have something to do with this bombing?"

"Do you know Arnet Stone?"

"Yes, he is an independent investigative reporter. I contacted him some time ago. Is this bombing related to him?"

"He died, and he died terribly." Luke clicked on a few photos of the dismemberment case to show Honey Lister.

"Oh my god, is it the fear of doing it? Arnett is a good man and shouldn't be treated like this!"

"It's still uncertain, but according to our investigation, the scene where he was killed and dismembered was the slaughterhouse where you used to work."

"That's why you suspect that I'm a terrorist?"

"More than that, we found bomb-related chemicals in the slaughterhouse.

Not long after this, an explosion occurred in the news department of the TV station.

And all these clues point to you, which is why we searched your home. "

Honey List scratched his hair vigorously, "It's ridiculous, I'm actually connected with terrorists, I can explain that I have nothing to do with the bombing."

Luke asked, "How did you and Arnett Stone meet?"

Honey Liszt took two puffs of cigarettes vigorously, looked at the sky, and recalled, "A year ago, after I retired from the game, I returned to Los Angeles and returned to my mother. I looked forward to starting a new and beautiful life.

But things backfired.

I was out of touch with life in LA, couldn't get the right job, didn't get the respect I deserved, got a serious mental illness and had to take that damn little pill every day.

This is completely different from the retired life I imagined.

I am also asking myself, why is this? Is it my personal reason?

No.

Definitely not just me.

I joined a veterans mutual aid group, and I know many ex-soldiers who have similar problems, can't find jobs, get respect, depression, suicide, alcoholism, drug use, and end up on the streets becoming homeless, and even committing crimes.

I don't want to be like them, I want to change, I'm trying to change, but it's hard.

I have contacted relevant departments and also asked the government for help, but no one paid any attention at all.

Therefore, I hope that through the media, more people can learn about the situation of retired veterans. This is not just my personal reason, but a social problem.

Last year, I mailed letters for help to the news departments of several TV stations.

But only one person contacted me, Arnet Stone.

I don't know if he cares, or just wants to get a big news.

But he gave me hope.

We kept in touch, and then he left Cbs TV, but he is still tracking and investigating the living conditions of retired veterans. "

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"About half a month ago, I took him to the Veterans Mutual Aid Association. He requested it on his own initiative. He felt that it would be difficult for my case to have too much impact in society, and it would be impossible for more people to pay attention to this matter. Those who Politicians don't even care.

In order for the country and society to pay attention to the problem of reintegration of retired veterans into society, there must be enough research evidence and a large number of real cases to prove that I am not alone, but a problem that many retired veterans are facing. "

Luke took out his notebook, jotted down the Veterans Mutual Aid, and asked, "Did you tell Arnett Stone about the slaughterhouse?"

"Yes, I said it at the mutual aid meeting, and it wasn't just Arnett Stone, but other people heard it."

Luke kept staring at Honey List, and there was no obvious sign of lying from his face.

If what he said is true, other ex-soldiers who participated in mutual aid associations also knew that the slaughterhouse had closed down. In addition, Arnet Stone may also have contact with ex-soldiers in other mutual aid associations.

Then, the suspects of terrorism have also expanded from Honey Lister to the entire mutual aid society's retired soldiers.

"When you talk about the work in the slaughterhouse, is anyone more interested in the slaughterhouse or the address of the slaughterhouse?"

Honey List thought about it, "Yes, there is indeed such a person. I just said that the slaughterhouse closed down, and he was very interested. He also said that he had worked in a slaughterhouse before, and asked if I was from the same company. slaughterhouse.

Then I told him the address and he said no. "

"Do you remember his name?"

"Yes, Tapani Reagan."

"Do you know any other information about him? For example, mobile phone number, home address, license plate number and so on."

"I know his cell phone number."

"It seems that this man has made a deep impression on you."

"Not only me, Arnet Stone is also very interested in him, and it was Arnet Stone who asked me to ask for his mobile phone number."

"Why is Arnett Stone interested in him?"

"It may be related to some of his experiences." Honey List sighed and said, "He also served in the Middle East before, because he was unable to take care of his family after being abroad for a long time, so he entrusted his best friend to take care of his wife and children.

When he returned home after retiring, he felt that his wife's attitude towards him had changed, and his child had also become weird. Later, in a quarrel, his child told the truth. During the days when he was serving abroad, he His good friends not only help him take care of the family, but sometimes stay here overnight.

He was greened, and the saddest thing is, by his most trusted friend.

No, I was wrong, this is not the saddest.

This guy beat up his friend and got caught by the police and put him in jail.

When he gets out of prison, his wife will divorce him and take away the custody of the child and the house.

This guy can only roam the streets.

Compared with him, I am undoubtedly lucky. I also have a mother who loves and cares about me, which is why I did not become a homeless person or a criminal. "

Luke touched his chin. From Honey Lister's description, it can be heard that Tapani Reagan's experience was indeed miserable. Once it is broadcast by the media, it is likely to resonate with retired soldiers and soldiers still abroad. .

Luke brought in the identity of Arnet Stone. If he was also a reporter, he would also regard Tapani Reagan as a typical report, which would definitely cause a huge response.

Through Honey List's description, combined with known clues, Luke has a new speculation and analysis on the killing of Arnet Stone.

If Tapani Reagan was the terrorist who made the bombing, then the reason why he inquired about the address of the slaughterhouse was to use the slaughterhouse as a stronghold for making bombs.

And because his case is more typical and more miserable.

Arnett Stone had his eyes on him, wanted to investigate him, and reported him as a tragic case of a retired veteran.

But he never thought that during the tracking process, Arnet Stone discovered that Tapani Reagan was probably planning a terrorist attack.

Unexpected harvest, this is also a big news.

And this news also confirms Arnet Stone's previous point that the issue of retired veterans must be taken seriously.

They are the strong ones in the army, and they are used to the way of life of the army. After returning to society, they may be out of place and even become weak.

But these weak people are not really weak. Once they are cornered, they will take up arms again and become a killing machine, using this society as a battlefield.

Luke clicked on the tablet again and played a video, which was the monitoring of the TV station lobby and mail room.

The man in the video is holding two black packages. This man is tall, wearing a mask and a hat, and his specific appearance cannot be seen clearly.

And the two black packages in his hand were the express delivery that exploded in the news department.

"Do you know the person in the video?"

Honey List looked at the video carefully, and asked with a frown, "Are there any other videos? For example, frontal surveillance."

"If there is a surveillance photo of the suspect's front, we will not suspect you. Carefully observe his physical characteristics and walking style. Is it similar to Tapani Reagan in your memory?"

Honey List bit the nail on his right thumb, "Can I watch it again?"

"Of course, you can read it several times."

Honey List looked carefully again, pointing to the suspect's feet, "Can you enlarge his shoes?"

Luke contacted Matthew and asked him to send a high-resolution picture of the shoe enlarged.

After a while, high-definition pictures of the shoes came over.

Honey List nodded after reading it, "The person under surveillance looks more like Tapani Reagan, but I'm not very familiar with him, so I'm not sure.

However, I recognize the shoes.

A pair of brown leather platform shoes, the same shoes he wore to the fraternity meeting. "

As Tapani Reagan's suspicions rose further, Luke asked Honey Lister, "Can I have his phone number?"

"Then you have to return my mobile phone to me first." Honey List pointed to his head, "I can't remember here."

"Sorry, it's overdue for you." Luke asked the police officer for Honey Lister's belongings, and returned them to him.

Honey List found Tapani Reagan's cell phone number from his cell phone.

"Thank you, you have been a great help to us."

"But you guys have brought me bad luck. I promised my mother that I would stop causing trouble, but it's hard for me to explain why the car was hit like this."

Luke comforted, "Let me give you an idea, hide from your mother for a few days, and when we solve this terrorist attack case, you can proudly tell your mother that you are arresting terrorists." It crashed the car in the process."

"Is this a white lie?"

"In my opinion, it doesn't count. If the clues you provided are true, then it means that you have indirectly participated in the operation to arrest terrorists, but the details of the operation are somewhat different.

This is quite normal. After all, it is impossible to tell the truth about the arrest process. "

Honey List smiled, "So, I can be regarded as a hero who protects this city."

"Absolutely." Luke encouraged.

Sometimes, a small kindness can also pull people back from the edge of the cliff.
