FBI detective

Chapter 832 Anatoly's Story

At 10:30 in the morning, the office area of ​​the special investigation team.

"The location of that safe is not usually well hidden."

In the meeting room, all the agents sat on chairs. Winslow distributed a dozen photos to everyone and introduced them with a pained expression:
"There is a bathroom on the first floor of Campbell Hank's house.

Campbell modified the structure under the toilet, and the safe was hidden there."

"..." x5
After hearing Winslow's words and seeing the scene in the photo, Chenier, Mona and others had strange expressions on their faces, as if they could smell the scene through the photo.

"Thanks a lot."

Luo An's eyelids jumped, and he simply praised Winslow a few words, then shook the photo and asked:

"What's the matter with the ancient gold coin you mentioned before?"

“These are the gold coins.”

Winslow turned to a cardboard box nearby and took out several transparent evidence bags.

Inside the evidence bag were some gold coins that were dull yellow in color and had some simple patterns carved on their surface. They were the size of ordinary watch dials.

"Wow."

When everyone took the gold coins, they all showed surprise on their faces. Few people don't like gold, and this kind of gold coin with a simple style is more likely to attract attention.

Winslow took back the photos one by one and said:
"A total of nine gold coins were found. The Trace Examination Department is investigating the origins of these coins based on the patterns on the coins."

"OK."

Luo An nodded, temporarily putting aside the matter of the gold coins, and then asked:
"What about counterfeit money?"

"We also found counterfeit bills worth $300,000 in denominations of $20."

Winslow replied:

"After identification by the Trace Inspection Department and several currency experts, it was determined that these counterfeit banknotes belonged to the same batch as the super counterfeit banknotes we discovered previously."

"very good."

Luo An then looked at Chenier and asked:

"How is Anatoly now?"

"The doctor at the headquarters has treated Anatoly's wounds, and his mental state has stabilized a lot with the help of the psychologist."

Chenier quickly put down the gold coin and answered seriously:
"He is currently in a temporary detention facility and can be interrogated at any time."

"Then take him to the interrogation room."

Luo An stood up and ordered:
"And the pursuers who were caught yesterday, get ready too. We need to talk to them too."

"no problem!"

Chenelle reached out and patted Lacey's shoulder, and the two of them left the meeting room and headed for the prison.

Half an hour later, in the interrogation room on the far left, Anatoly was handcuffed, sitting on a chair with a nervous look on his face, rubbing his fingers unconsciously.

"Good morning, Mr. Anatoly."

Across the interrogation table, after Mona turned on the computer and got ready, Luo An pushed a folder in front of Anatoly and said in a serious tone:

"Is there anything you want to say?"

Seeing the photos of the counterfeit banknotes and ancient gold coins in the folder, Anatoly became even more panicked. After a few seconds of silence, he lowered his head as if resigned to his fate and said:
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."

Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, handed a cup of coffee to Anatoly, and said calmly:

"Elaborate."

Anatoly took a sip of his coffee and said:
"I picked up the fake money, and my colleagues and I found the gold coins on the seabed."

Anatoly said that he was a crew member of a treasure hunting ship, which was not very big, and there were exactly ten people including him. Not long ago, after drifting in a sea area in Carolina for more than a month, their treasure hunting ship successfully found a sunken ship on the seabed and salvaged a small amount of gold bars, silver coins and other items from it.

Due to technical problems such as the small size of the ship and incomplete equipment, the treasure hunters, despite being excited, immediately decided to dock and return to prepare to change to a larger ship.

"Not long after we left the ocean and returned to the ground, the news that we had found the gold leaked out for some reason, and then we were targeted."

Anatoly lowered his head, fear flashed in his eyes, and continued:

"That night, a group of people rushed into the house we rented... Bob, Auburn and the others died. Only I and two others escaped..."

Because of some mental problems, Anatoly stuttered or spoke incoherently, which caused great difficulties for Mona, who was in charge of recording.

Fortunately, Luo An determined through "emotional perception" that the other party was not lying. Seeing that the other party's mental state was getting worse, Luo An quickly stepped forward to change the subject and whispered to comfort the other party.

A few minutes later, Anatoly calmed down a little. Luo An poured him another cup of coffee and asked in a low voice:

"What happened next? Where did the three of you go after you escaped from the rented house?"

"I don't know. I've been following Leon..."

Anatoly stammered that he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, his colleagues Leon and Benson did not abandon him. They threw a backpack full of gold coins to Anatoly and asked him to keep it. Then the two of them started shooting back.

However, the number of enemies was too large, so Leon and Benson quickly decided to retreat. The three of them then "found" a car and started to escape.

"That group of people kept following us, and Leon couldn't get rid of them at all."

Anatoly trembled as he explained:

“Then Leon and Benson started arguing. I didn’t hear the details, but I felt that they were very excited.

Then Leon turned the corner and drove into a factory near the suburbs. There were also several people in the factory, and they started shooting at us with guns.

Leon and Benson fired back, and within a few seconds, the group of people chasing us also broke in here, and the scene became even more chaotic..."

Mona frowned slightly, but the sound of typing on the computer keyboard did not stop. She had already understood what Anatoly had said:

That is, Leon and his companions found a shipwreck with gold at sea, but when they returned to land, the news was leaked, and a group of people showed up and wanted to rob the robbers.

Leon and his men were unable to defeat this group of people, so while fleeing, they drove into the territory of a third party, hoping to divert the trouble away.

Luo An also understood the story told by Anatoly, but there was still one question that he did not understand, so he continued to ask:

“Those fake money, where did they come from?”

"Benson gave it to me."

Anatoly explained in a muffled voice:
“There were a lot of machines in that factory, and behind the machines were a lot of packages, and inside the packages were the money.

As the men opened fire on each other, Benson found a backpack containing the money.

He handed me the backpack and asked me to leave the factory first, and told me to go to New York to find Campbell, and he and Leon would arrive later. "

Anatoly was very obedient. He took the backpack containing counterfeit money and the backpack containing gold coins and quickly left the factory during the chaos.

On the way, Anatoly wanted to eat something, but he had no money in his pocket, so he had to take out the fake money to buy food to fill his stomach.

Heading north, Anatoly successfully arrived in New York and found Campbell Hank according to the contact information given by Benson.

"Benson said Campbell is absolutely trustworthy."

At this point, a hint of jealousy flashed across Anatoly's eyes, and he whispered:

"Because they have been to prison together, have slept with several women together, and are half-brothers with no blood relationship."

"..." x2
Mona paused her typing for a moment, Luo An's mouth twitched, he suppressed the complaints in his heart, and continued to ask Anatoly questions.

Twenty minutes later, Luo An and Mona walked out of the interrogation room. Winslow came up to them quickly, waving the document and said:
"Luo An, the trace examination department has found out the source of the gold coins."
