Late at night, in an interrogation room at the Philadelphia Police Department.
The FBI Art Crime Team and the Philadelphia Police Major Crime Team are jointly interrogating McCann for more than two hours.
However, they didn't get much valuable information.
McCann has a tight mouth and is very cunning.
He knew clearly that he could never tell everything now, as that would be tantamount to seeking death!
As long as you don't confess everything, you have the value of existence, you are qualified to negotiate terms, and you can continue to live!
Whether it is the FBI or the Philadelphia police, in order to obtain greater benefits, they will protect themselves and their families with all their heart.
The best way to deal with these idiots is to explain them bit by bit like squeezing out toothpaste.
Reveal some valuable information from time to time to give these idiots from the FBI and Major Crimes Unit a taste of the sweetness!
With these secrets I have mastered, I can still live a happy life even in prison.
Looking at McCann, who was as ruthless as a knife, several FBI and homicide detectives in charge of the interrogation felt a headache.
Because McCann's lawyers are outside and the case has become a sensation in the United States, it has attracted countless attention.
For a while, these FBI Art Crime Team and Major Crime Team agents did not dare to resort to tactics, feeling a bit like a dog biting a hedgehog with no place to bite.
At this moment, the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened.
The head of the FBI Art Crime Team and the head of the Philadelphia Police Major Crime Team walked in together. Both of their faces were livid and very ugly.
After entering the interrogation room, the two guys called their men over and whispered a few words.
The next moment, the guys who had been in charge of the interrogation suddenly left the interrogation room together.
There were only two people left in the interrogation room, the head of the FBI Art Crime Team and the head of the Major Crimes Team.
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the serious crime team notified his subordinates to turn off the surveillance cameras in the interrogation room.
Seeing this scene, McCann couldn't help but become nervous.
He stared at these two guys closely, wondering what they were going to do.
However, the two guys did not interrogate him immediately. Instead, they looked at McCann with disdain and said nothing.
It wasn't until McCann was a little scared when he saw it that the head of the FBI Art Crime Team took out a transparent evidence bag from his arms and came to McCann.
He took the evidence bag, waved it in front of McCann, and said disdainfully:
"McCann, look what this is? You should recognize it!"
"Here is a Cayman Islands passport and the corresponding driver's license."
"The photos above are all of you, but your name is another one."
"More importantly, there is also a document from the Cayman National Bank. There is a bank account number on the document..."
"ah!"
McCann exclaimed and froze on the spot.
His eyes widened, staring at the certificates and bank documents in the evidence bag. His eyes instantly turned blood red, filled with despair and fear.
Seeing his reaction, a smile flashed across the faces of the FBI Art Crime Team Leader and Major Crime Team Leader.
They understood that this trick worked!
But that's not enough!
Before McCann could ask, the head of the FBI Art Crime Unit started adding fuel to the fire.
"Seeing these certificates and bank documents, I guess you have also thought about it and understand why they fell into our hands."
"That's right, the apartment where you and Miles secretly met has been confiscated by us."
"All the documents and weapons and equipment hidden in the secret room behind the closet fell into our hands."
"The most important of them are the certificates and related bank documents that you and Miles have applied for in various international offshore financial centers!"
"With these real and fake documents and conclusive evidence of the crime, we can find the money you store in those places. It only takes a little time!"
Before he finished speaking, the leader of the serious crime team immediately continued:
"Your escape route is completely cut off, McCann. I believe you understand this."
"In this case, is it necessary to continue to carry on? That won't do any good."
"Be honest, we need a list, including the list of banks where you deposit money, bank accounts and other information."
"There are also buyers who have purchased stolen antiques and art from you, as well as gangs from various countries, art thieves, etc. who have cooperated with you."
McCann didn't give any response, but froze in his chair, his eyes full of despair.
In the blink of an eye, this guy seemed to have aged more than ten years and turned into a senile and lifeless old man!
The next moment, he suddenly muttered to himself in a state of despair.
"I knew that sooner or later such a day would come, but it finally came!"
"As early as five years ago, we should have washed our hands and quit, otherwise we would have ended up in this situation today!"
While he was talking, the guy's expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Did that damn bastard Sean find that apartment and find these IDs and documents?"
"With the capabilities of the FBI and Philadelphia police, it is simply impossible to find that place in such a short period of time."
"I must kill that bastard Sean and reduce that bastard to ashes!"
After hearing his words, the faces of the two team leaders turned red, and their expressions were somewhat embarrassing!
But the facts are here, and they can't refute it.
The next moment, the leader of the serious crime team suddenly said:
"Yes, it was Sean who found the apartment and the secret room behind the closet."
"The reason why he brought people to Philadelphia is actually because he came to you."
"Every move you and Miles make during this period of time has been under the strict surveillance of those guys!"
"You want to seek revenge from Sean? I advise you to give up this idea. The degree of cruelty of that guy is definitely beyond your imagination."
The head of the FBI Art Crime Team nodded, and then continued:
"McCann, you have only one choice now, and that is to cooperate with us."
"As long as you are willing to explain, we can ensure your personal safety."
McCann looked up at the two guys, and then fell into silence.
After three or five minutes, he said in frustration:
"Can you give me something to eat? Preferably a cup of coffee."
"I haven't eaten for more than ten hours. When I'm full, I'll give you what you want."
Before the words fell, the two team leaders were already filled with ecstasy.
"No problem, you can eat whatever you want."
The leader of the serious crime team nodded in response.
"I don't have anything special. Just a steak, some bread, and a cup of coffee."
McCann demanded.
Afterwards, the leader of the serious crime team directly picked up the walkie-talkie and asked his subordinates outside to buy it.
…
It was a peaceful night, and in the blink of an eye it was a new day.
Not long after getting up in the morning, Elaine received a call from Pierre.
Pierre and the others have already set off and are boarding the plane at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, preparing to fly to Philadelphia.
Calculated according to time, they will arrive in Philadelphia at noon.
Not only Pierre and the others, there are many people coming to Philadelphia from all directions.
The purpose of these guys is the same, they are all here for this joint operation and the stolen antiques and art.
Eight in the morning.
After breakfast, Xiao Ran called David and Sam over to discuss the actions that would be carried out today.
After entering the study and sitting down, Sam immediately began to report the situation.
"Sean, it was quiet at the art museum last night, nothing happened."
"The bags and boxes and other items placed in the museum are always under our control."
"The people from the FBI and Philadelphia Police who are responsible for perimeter security are not playing any tricks."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly, smiled and said:
"Well done, thank you everyone for your hard work!"
"After finishing checking Myers' music store today, I'm going to start the next step of cleaning up."
"It shouldn't take long before we can leave Philadelphia."
Sam nodded and continued to explain the situation.
"There is news from the Philadelphia Police Department that the FBI Art Crime Team and Major Crime Team interrogated McCann last night."
"Everything went smoothly at first. After McCann saw his fake IDs and bank documents, his psychological defense began to gradually collapse!"
"But when he ordered a dinner and after eating it, his attitude changed 180 degrees."
"That guy suddenly chose to shut up completely and refused to say anything anymore!"
"Obviously, there was something in that dinner. I secretly warned that guy McCann."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then laughed again.
"Apparently someone gave McCann a warning to shut up!"
"McMcKen has a wife and children. If someone threatens his wife and children, he can only choose to remain silent!"
"And in the Philadelphia Police Department, or even in the FBI Art Crime Unit, there should be the eyes and ears of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"If I guess correctly, this powerful man behind the scenes is probably the one who hired a killer to kill Miles."
David and Sam both nodded but said nothing more.
They understand that this matter is too sensitive and it is better to say less!
However, they are secretly guessing who the secret mastermind is!
In their minds, they went through all the important people who came from Philadelphia and Pennsylvania and held high positions.
This includes heavyweight politicians, officials, super-rich people, mafia bosses, etc.
In a matter of seconds, they screened out several suspicious candidates, but there was no evidence!
Seeing their performance, Xiao Ran just smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"Since McCann has chosen to keep his mouth shut, it will be difficult for the FBI Art Crime Team and Major Crime Team to get him to speak again!"
"It's not that easy for them to take away the money that McCann and Miles have stored in international offshore financial centers. It will probably take a lot of time!"
"But this has nothing to do with us, and we don't need to care!"
While he was talking, David's cell phone suddenly rang, it was a message notification tone.
He immediately took out his phone and took a look, then froze on the spot.
In a moment, he woke up and said in a deep voice:
"Sean, an unknown mobile phone number sent me a message, warning you not to do anything wrong!"
"The other party advises you not to expand the investigation scope of the joint operation. Enough is enough!"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, he sneered disdainfully.
"Obviously, someone was scared and worried that he would be traced, so he sent this message!"
"The guy who sent the message may be the mastermind behind Miles' death and the warning to McCann."
"This guy may have bought stolen antiques from McCann and the others, or he originally had some antiques that were obtained through corruption, but were later stolen by McCann and the others!"
"He was afraid that he would be exposed, so he had to do this!"
David nodded and then continued:
"It should be like this. This guy must be afraid of being exposed, so he did so many things one after another!"
"In this way, he will be more easily exposed!"
"What are you going to do? Sean, are you going to investigate further?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and gave the answer with a sneer.
"There is no need for us to investigate. In order to obtain greater benefits, the FBI Art Crime Team and the Philadelphia Police will definitely continue to conduct in-depth investigations!"
"We just need to keep an eye on them. I only want those stolen antiques and artworks."
"As for the proceeds from McCann's crime and who the powerful mastermind behind it is, I don't care at all!"
"As long as he doesn't offend me, I won't deliberately deal with him. Otherwise, it's another matter!"
