Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 661: Money is the key
"Woooooooo..."

Miranda's head was covered with several layers of towels, and a strong man was holding a bucket and pouring water on her face...

In less than five minutes, Miranda began to struggle, twitch, and suffocate...

Shanying managed to prepare dinner in the airport kitchen. After eating with his friends, he returned to the small building and wanted to learn about the interrogation techniques of the Department of Homeland Security.

To his great disappointment, the battle of wits and courage in the movies did not occur. Instead, the pressured Homeland Security agents immediately used the most cruel punishment allowed: waterboarding!

It is to make people choke on water, suffocate, and have near-death experiences repeatedly, so as to break the will of the person being interrogated through the dual pain of physical and mental pain.

Unfortunately, this method obviously had no effect on Miranda. Her body was completely soaked. She was constantly subjected to water torture in the house without heating, making her look like a ghost...

But even under the double attack of cold and pain, her will did not collapse. On the contrary, when she realized that the Department of Homeland Security would not give her humanitarian treatment, she began to mock the interrogators, and each time the waterboarding lasted longer.

Kobe is recording Barry's confession and forming effective questions based on Barry's confession, which are then passed on a note to the person who is interrogating Miranda.

Shanying stood at the window of the temporary water torture room, watching Miranda, who was pressed on the table, bounce like a fish on the shore, while the obviously anxious interrogator kept adding to the pressure...

He frowned at Kobe's companion Red Neck Dutch and said, "You guys plan to stay like this?"

Dutch stiffened his neck and said, "This is the fastest way. The Angel of Death has taken control of the Marriott Hotel, but has not yet formally proposed any conditions.

If we can pry open this woman's mouth as soon as possible, we will have more emergency measures."

While Dutch was talking, the water torture in the room stopped. The torturer hurriedly lifted the towel covering Miranda's face, then listened to his heartbeat and breathing, and then asked his companions to start first aid with a grim look...

After going through the entire process of epinephrine, defibrillator, artificial respiration, and cardiac compression, Miranda was rescued.

Watching this woman spit out the cold water in her stomach while mocking the executioner as a waste...

Shanying suddenly reacted, he pushed Redneck Dutch hard and cursed: "Are you guys professional?
This woman is not afraid of this at all. She is trying to trick you into using excessive torture. Once her body becomes weak enough to need hospital treatment, you won’t be able to use any other methods.”

Dutch looked at Miranda's towering breasts, and when the executioner approached, he slapped him hard, then grabbed his hair and pressed him on the bed and was beaten several times...

"Fuck..."

Seeing that his colleague was enraged and wanted to continue the violence, Dutch turned around, opened the door of the room, dragged the executioner outside the door, and whispered a few words...

Looking at the middle-aged man in charge of the execution kicking the corridor wall in frustration, Shanying realized that although Kobe had obtained the power, it would be difficult for him to mobilize enough resources to carry out the task in such a short time.

He didn't even have any experienced interrogation experts and could only rely on a group of rough guys in the field.

The noise outside startled Kobe, who was recording Barry's statement. He pushed the door open and rushed over, shouting, "What the hell are you doing?"

Redneck Dutch calmed down his angry colleague, walked over to Kobe, and whispered something in his ear...

After hearing this, Kobe nodded with an unpleasant expression, walked to the executioner, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not your fault, I was too anxious!

I will take over the interrogation next. Believe me, there is no mouth that cannot be pried open in this world."

Dutch chimed in, "That's right, that woman is not afraid of death, let's try another method..."

Dutch glanced at Shanying and said, "Maybe this guy is right. We can feed her shit. Maybe after a few meals, she will confess."

The executioner smiled bitterly and nodded...

He actually knew that Dutch was joking, and waterboarding was already crossing the line even in the Department of Homeland Security.

Moreover, Miranda's ability to withstand the torture of waterboarding means that more violent punishments cannot break her will, but will instead arouse her desire to resist.

What we need to do next is to use slow and steady methods, using long-term, repetitive and tiring interrogations to break her will.

In this way, the water torture that Miranda had been busy with for a long time turned out to be a stimulant for her willpower and would waste a lot of time.

Kobe calmed his colleagues, walked into the waterboarding room and spoke to Miranda, then asked someone to change her room and provide her with a set of warmer clothes.

After finishing all this, Kobe found the mountain eagle who was curiously visiting. He said with a bitter face: "It seems that we can't pry open her mouth in the short term..."

"What do you want from her?"

Shanying watched a group of technicians sitting at a makeshift desk, using computers and projectors to build a temporary command center...

Looking at Kobe's thoughtful expression, Shanying smiled and said, "Those four killers are enough for you to compile a report to stabilize the top leaders of the Department of Homeland Security.

It doesn't matter if they don't want to talk, I'll help you write a report about the Edward Foundation's planning of the virus leak. You can force a few killers to sign, and it doesn't matter whether they admit it afterwards!

Barry's confession is the second report...

The whole story of French spies, angels of death, and Ebola virus incidents!

You can break down this information and slowly pass it on to the top management of the Department of Homeland Security, letting them know that you have been making progress, so that they will be motivated to mobilize more resources to support you.”

Shanying looked at Kobe with a weird expression and said with a smile: "Don't look at me like that. We all know that the core problem now is with the Angel of Death...

But if we want to solve the Angel of Death, we don't actually need detailed intelligence, because he has already appeared...

Of course, you are a representative of the Department of Homeland Security, and you have a different set of standards for action, but solving the problem at hand is the most important thing...

"First we need to know who the Angel of Death is? What does he look like? What did he do in the past? Where is he now?"

Kobe listened and said with a strange expression: "What suggestions do you have?"

Shanying looked at the busy technicians and said with a smile, "Miranda's identity should not be difficult to find. Let your technicians carefully clean up her network data, dig up her past, and piece together her movements over the past few years, and then compare them with the movements of the Angel of Death.

The Angel of Death is not invisible, he has to stay in a hotel when he goes to other places...

My guys had a conflict with some Middle Easterners in a hotel 3 kilometers away from the Marriott Hotel today, and then my people found a telescope facing the Marriott Hotel in their room.

And we got a video surveillance that recorded the side and back view of the suspect, and I suspect the Angel of Death is among them.”

Kobe was surprised when he heard this: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I could have..."

"What can you do?"

Shanying looked at Kobe, who was annoyed. He shook his head and said, "When the police came, that guy took out his ID from the Department of Homeland Security to get himself out of trouble. By the time my people realized something was wrong, they had already left for a long time.

Right now the Anchorage police are also overwhelmed with the Marriott Hotel incident and the attack on the police station. They simply cannot spare any manpower to help you conduct a dragnet search.

We can only rely on ourselves!"

Kobe listened, nodded with a heavy expression, and said: “This kind of information collection and retrieval takes a lot of time, but I will let them do it.

You really have no other ideas?"

The Eagles certainly have other ways, but they can only be implemented if Kobe has enough resources and power...

Seeing the handsome black man with a worried look on his face, Shanying said with a smile: "Investigating a case is a delicate job, and there is no point in being anxious.

We can work on two fronts to find people. You can be responsible for collecting information, and I will find someone to contact the underground gang in Anchorage.

If my friend had encountered the Angel of Death today, he would not have dared to stay in a hotel. I would have offered a reward. It would be difficult for a few Middle Easterners to hide in Alaska."

Shanying put his arm around Kobe's shoulders and whispered, "My friend, if you judge that the Angel of Death is targeting the sea prison, it means we have a chance to overtake them.

So don’t be anxious. First stabilize the top leaders of the Department of Homeland Security. Then you have to find a way to magnify the seriousness of the matter, take this opportunity to increase your own importance, and seek more power at the same time…”

Kobe looked at the Eagle in surprise and said, "What do you want to do?"

Shanying looked at Kobe's expression and shook his head slightly...

This guy's political sensitivity is really bad. His situation is extremely bad, but he has a good card in his hand but doesn't know how to play it...

Shanying thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and said, "Do you have any money? Give it to me..."

Kobe frowned and took out his wallet. Just as he was about to take out a few bills, Shanying grabbed all his cash and counted it...

"OK, 85..."

Shanying put the money into his pocket and said with a smile: "This is a paid service!

Now, as your political advisor, I remind you that Miranda is very likely a spy for France!

Do you know how things would change if she were a spy?"
