But the two investigators weren't willing to give up, and kept asking for more details.
After more than an hour, the door to the interrogation room was suddenly opened, and a colonel with four stripes walked in.
He waved at the two investigators, and after exchanging glances for a moment, the two investigators got up and left.
After closing the door, the colonel said calmly, "You can stop investigating Detective Luke Coulson."
The two investigators frowned, and the one who was quiet asked, "Why? He's a major suspect. "
After a brief silence, the colonel said, "Captain Adams and General Bates both called to vouch for Sheerah and this Luke Coulson."
"This is a huge case. How is that possible …" the other investigator couldn't help but say.
The colonel smiled coldly. "First of all, General Bates personally invited Sheerah onto the ship. Secondly, Corporal Laybecker, who had rescued Captain Adams, had been released from the cold storage after Luke Coulson had knocked down two criminals. The biggest mistake the criminals had made was that they hadn't killed Laybecker sooner, which allowed him to kill the mastermind and leave behind the dismantled missiles. This Luke Coulson might not be simple, but that's his own business, and has nothing to do with criminals seizing a warship and dismantling a missile. "
The two investigators were lost for words. They looked at each other and nodded helplessly. "If you insist, of course we don't mind, but we'll write everything down in the report."
The colonel smiled coldly. "Yes. The navy will also investigate the discovery of the bodies of elite CIA operatives on the warship. "
The faces of the two investigators immediately darkened.
F * ck! Why didn't he expose someone's shortcomings?! If it wasn't for that, why would they be so persistent in investigating a small fry like Luke?
They only needed to look at Luke's resume and the testimonies of various parties to confirm that he had only decided to board the warship at the last minute.
Also, this young man had given Corporal Laybecker crucial help tonight, and had personally knocked out two armed robbers. Even if such a person had to be investigated, it would be the last thing they would do.
But there was a big problem with the CIA.
Among the criminals killed on the warship, several CIA agents were found, including the mastermind, "Rock Singer" William.
The person who had been turned into a Teletubbies by Laybecker was the leader of a secret CIA team.
If there were no accidents, the CIB would be the scapegoat.
The two CIA officers knew very well whether Luke was a suspect or not.
Now they are also desperate, trying to find a fake suspect, to muddy the water, so that they can argue with the Navy and shirk responsibility.
That was why the two of them had repeatedly asked Luke.
Of course, the Marine would not remain indifferent.
Sheerah had been invited onto the warship by General Bates. Did it mean that something was wrong with General Bates? Will the Navy be the scapegoat for this warship hijacking incident?
General Bates was one of the younger members of the active Navy. It was very likely that he would be promoted to a Vice Admiral. He was already at the level of a quasi-boss. Of course, he would not sit still and wait for death.
At this moment, a man standing next to the Marine Captain said, "Well, you two, don't argue here. If you have the time, why don't you work harder in other areas? "
The two investigators frowned. "Agent Flegg, what do you mean? Is this the FBI's attitude? "
Flegg said expressionlessly, "This isn't my investigation. I'm just stating a fact."
Looking at the expressions of the two investigators, he added, "We have detailed information on Luke Coulson. I advise you not to waste your time on meaningless things."
The two investigators frowned.
Flegg's meaning was clear. The FBI had confidential information that confirmed that Luke wasn't related to the criminals.
This was the so-called clean background, which could also be explained by a Chinese saying, "You have a good family background."
The two investigators looked at each other and left helplessly.
They found a quiet place not far away and made a call to report the situation.
But on the other end of the phone, their boss said, "Don't worry about Luke. Follow up on the results of the NCIS investigation."
The two of them: "Huh? We're following up on what? "
Their boss said, "We've learned something. Among William's teammates, Johnny Mullah was still loyal. He and his brother, Sock Mullah, were hiding and counterattacking William at the critical moment, killing many criminals. Unfortunately, Johnny Mullah was killed, and Sock Mullah is missing. "
The two of them: "Huh?" They both felt that their boss was talking nonsense.
Why would William's team be loyal? They were just thugs who did the dirty work and cleaned up after themselves.
They didn't believe that the Mullah brothers were loyal and patriotic, and had risked their lives to stop William's plan.
If the Mullah brothers wanted to betray William, they wouldn't have waited until then.
If they had leaked the news earlier, William's team would have been completely wiped out.
As if knowing what they were thinking, their boss explained, "It's said that the gun that killed many criminals belonged to Mullah. The gun that shot Mullah was in the hands of another criminal who didn't belong to us. Sock Mullah was the only one who opened the cabin door of the trapped sailor. Only he had the time and motive to rescue the sailor. "
The two of them immediately got it.
One of the Mullah brothers was dead, and the other was missing. Also, they didn't have any relatives, so there was no need to send out death notices.
Now that the CIA had found a breakthrough, their boss wanted them to understand the situation as soon as possible so that they could deal with the wrangling later.
If the Mullah brothers' betrayal could be settled, the CIA would be considered to have done something wrong, and the blame would be reduced, and the bigshots would be safe.
Turning a big problem into a small one, and shifting the blame to a small one. This was how the world operated.
On the other side, Flegg said to the captain, "Let me talk to him in private."
The captain frowned and didn't reply immediately.
Flegg said, "Don't worry. Two minutes at most."
The captain nodded slowly.
Flegg opened the door and entered.
After he entered, he went straight to the camera and turned it off, before he turned around and looked at Luke. "Okay, can you tell me now how many criminals you killed on the ship?"
Luke smiled. "Agent Flegg, my answer is the same as before."
Staring at him in silence for a moment, Flegg suddenly smiled. "Okay, you're not bad."
Luke raised an eyebrow. This guy really didn't seem angry. In fact, he seemed quite happy.
Flegg stood straight with his hands behind his back. "I roughly know what you're worried about, so you don't need to answer that question. Now, you can go. "
Luke nodded with a smile. "Thank you."
Flegg turned around and walked to the door. He put his hand on the handle and said, "Thank you for everything you've done for this country."
