Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 519: The sword cuts the bullet head, shocking the whole audience
After the two met and exchanged some greetings, Lin Yuan got into Kano's Cadillac bulletproof car alone and walked with him.

GAKKI, Saragama, Kane and others followed Kano's convoy in Humvee military vehicles.

In the Cadillac, Lin Yuan took out detailed intelligence from his backpack and handed it to Kano: "This is the complete intelligence information, please accept it."

Kano took it, flipped through a few pages, and then put it aside. He smiled and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Lin Yuan, for warning me. Otherwise, I might have been ambushed for no apparent reason."

After all, the most valuable part had already been discussed between the two of them during their phone call the day before yesterday.

This more complete intelligence consists of some supporting evidence and detailed information, and does not play a decisive role.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "The intelligence was collected by President Kabila. I simply passed it on. It's nothing."

"Anyway, since you told me such important information, I must accept your favor. From now on, we are friends, and as friends we should help each other. If you need anything, please let me know." Kano replied.

The words sounded nice, but Lin Yuan knew that he couldn't take them seriously.

Because of this information, Kano did owe him a favor, and if it was something unimportant, he would definitely be willing to help.

But it is still far from what Lin Yuan wants. If he dares to challenge Kanoti for the mining rights of tantalum-niobium mine now, he will most likely be rejected.

But such a start is already quite good for Lin Yuan.

"After receiving the intelligence, has Mr. Kano started to take action?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes. I didn't control several suspected traitors immediately, but instead strengthened surveillance and looked for evidence of their betrayal," Kano said.

"Why not just control it directly? Controlling it first won't affect the search for evidence." Lin Yuan asked.

"Because if we directly control a few traitors, it will alert the snakes and the mastermind behind the scenes. Once he retreats, it will be difficult to uncover the entire underground network. I hope to lure the snakes out of their holes and catch them all in one fell swoop." Kano said confidently.

After hearing Kano's answer, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a little worried.

It’s not that Kano’s idea is wrong, it’s indeed the best way to deal with the problem.

But the problem is that doing so requires extremely strong control.

Whether it is monitoring the traitors, searching for relevant evidence, or even luring them out of their holes, it requires an extremely professional team to carry out, otherwise it will only have a counterproductive effect.

After all, every traitor is suspicious and highly nervous. If they find out that they are being monitored, it will immediately lead to a series of reactions.

At that time, it will still result in alerting the enemy and the mastermind behind the scenes, and the goal of catching them all in one fell swoop will only fail.

The question is, does Kano have such a professional team to implement his ideas?
And this does not take into account that what if the enemy has other traitors hidden deeper than these traitors?
In Lin Yuan's opinion, Kano's approach seems smart, but in fact it is extremely uncertain.

Lin Yuan still prefers a simpler approach to deal with the problem, so as to avoid the possibility of complications.

But he and Kano were not close friends after all, so it was inappropriate for him to say anything more. So he could only say, "Then I wish you all the best, and hope that you can wipe out all potential enemies as soon as possible."

Kano laughed and said, "Of course! Everything will go well."

After laughing, Kano began to talk about his arrangements: “Mr. Lin has come from afar, and I have arranged accommodation for you.

Now I will take you to see your residence and let you put your luggage there.

Then please invite Mr. Lin to come to my place, where I will prepare an African-style dinner for you.

If there is anything, we can talk slowly while eating at the table."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your trouble."

I have to say that Kano's arrangements are quite detailed.

If it was just Lin Yuan and his group, with only GAKKI-chan and Saragama, Kano might have directly invited them to live in his manor, after all, this would seem more intimate.

But the problem is that Lin Yuan brought an entire security team headed by Kane. What's even more exaggerated is that this team also owns several Hummer bulletproof military vehicles and is equipped with remote-controlled weapon stations.

It would definitely not be appropriate for such an armed force that cannot be ignored to enter Kano's manor.

So Kano arranged another place for Lin Yuan to live, which would make both parties feel at ease and comfortable.

The convoy continued to move forward and soon arrived in front of a courtyard with beautiful green plants.

The vehicle drove into the luxurious golden dome gate of the courtyard, and the main building in the courtyard appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

This five-story Baroque-style building, with its golden roof, large arched roof, and marble columns, gives the entire house a luxurious feel.

This can even be called a palace. Compared with the "simple" presidential residence of President Kabila Jr., this is more like the place where a head of state works and lives.

I didn't expect Kano to arrange for me to live here?

What surprised Lin Yuan even more was that this Baroque-style palace was not a building left behind by European colonists.

Looking at its brand new appearance, it seems that it has just been completed and no one has lived in it yet.

This means that this palace was just built by Kano and it must have cost a lot of money. Lin Yuan estimated that it would have cost at least 5000 million US dollars.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh at Kano's strong financial resources: this is not even his residence, at most it can only be regarded as a temporary place to entertain guests, and he can spend so much money.

But when I think of the rich reserves of tantalum-niobium, gold, manganese and even copper mines near Kisangani, which are all under Kano's control, the scene before me seems to make sense.

After all, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is also a big country with a land area of ​​more than 230 million square kilometers and rich mineral resources. Most of its territory is plains and forests. It can be said that the quality of the land is quite good and it is not a barren land like the Sahara Desert countries.

In a country like this, the powerful person who can control the third largest city should never be underestimated.

Kano smiled and introduced, "Considering that you've come from afar and need convenient transportation, I chose to let you stay here. It's nearby the bustling commercial district, so it's very convenient for shopping and dining."

Lin Yuan sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Kano."

The courtyard is also well located, right on the edge of the bustling center of Kisangani.

Traveling is convenient and the surrounding supporting facilities are very complete. It must be more comfortable to live here.

The vehicle stopped in front of the Baroque-style "palace", but Cano did not get off immediately.

Instead, he waited for the bodyguards from the cars in front and behind to get out first, surrounded the car, and helped him open the door before Kano got out of the car.

As Kano got out of the car, several bodyguards immediately surrounded him and Lin Yuan from all directions to hide their figures.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan immediately understood that this was a precaution against possible snipers.

Africa, especially the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is extremely turbulent, with civil wars emerging one after another and assassinations becoming commonplace.

Therefore, African dignitaries like to live in open areas, which means that security will be greatly improved.

For example, President Kabila's official residence is deserted with no grass growing around it.

In order to make travel easier for Lin Yuan and others, Kano chose a courtyard located south of the bustling city center.

This means that there are many high-rise buildings not far from the northern city center.

If there is a killer lurking there, it will be quite deadly.

Therefore, Kano's security team professionally surrounded him and did not give any chance to potential enemies.

The bodyguards performed very professionally and the security level was very high, which was something Lin Yuan had never experienced before.

"Come on, Mr. Lin. I'll take you in for a tour. After you're settled, we'll go to my place for dinner." Kano said as he walked forward.

"Okay, I like your arrangement very much." Lin Yuan walked forward with him side by side.

The entire bodyguard team formed a circle and moved forward with them.

It’s only about thirty steps from the drop-off point to the building entrance.

Just as they were about to reach the door, the bodyguard in the north suddenly stumbled as if he had tripped over a stone and fell forward.

As the bodyguard fell, a very obvious gap appeared in the area just north of Kano.

This scene immediately alerted Kano, and many thoughts flashed through his mind:
What the hell happened?

Was the bodyguard's fall just an accident?
If it wasn't an accident, what did it represent?
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding came over him.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed past Kano's eyes. He was surprised to find that at the moment the bodyguard fell to the ground, Lin Yuan took a step forward like lightning.

I saw him put his right hand into his arms and then swing it forward quickly.

A silver blade light drew a graceful and swift arc and slashed fiercely in the air.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound was heard, hitting Kano's heart heavily.

The knife that Lin Yuan swung seemed to hit something metal, making a crisp sound.

Is this a warhead?

Lin Yuan actually hit a bullet head?

Then Kano heard Lin Yuan shouting, "There's an assassin in the silver building to the north."

Hearing Lin Yuan's shout, Kano was still in a daze, but his bodyguards had skillfully surrounded him again.

Lin Yuan fiercely kicked the fallen bodyguard on the leg.

"Crack!"

The sound of broken bones could be heard, accompanied by the bodyguard's screams.

After ensuring that the bodyguard could not escape in the chaos, Lin Yuancai and Kano quickly entered the building under the protection of the bodyguard.

At this time, Lin Yuan said: "Go and control that bodyguard. I don't know if he has any problems, but we must interrogate him carefully."

Several bodyguards immediately stepped forward and tied up the bodyguard lying on the ground with restraints.

Only then did Kano, still somewhat startled, ask, "Mr. Lin, what just happened? Was there a sniper?"

"Yes, the moment the bodyguard fell, a position was left vacant. The sniper hiding in a building in the distance immediately launched an attack." Lin Yuan replied.

Kano looked at Lin Yuan's right hand, which was still holding the knife he had just swung: it was a specially made throwing knife.

It is much thicker and heavier than ordinary throwing knives, at least twice as heavy, but it will inevitably bring greater flight stability and lethality.

Anyone who can use such a flying knife must be confident in his own strength and control.

"Just now, you used this flying knife to chop off the bullet shot by the killer?" Kano asked in disbelief.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer.

But at this time, the bodyguard beside him came forward with two pieces of metal fragments: "Mr. Kano, we found this at the scene."

This is a bullet that has been split into two pieces. The broken end is quite smooth, which shows the great power and speed of the person who swung the sword.

There was no doubt that this was the bullet that Lin Yuan had just hit, which completely confirmed his astonishing sword move.

This scene made everyone present feel that their outlook on life had collapsed.

Not only Kano and his bodyguards couldn't believe what they saw, but even Kane who was following behind them found it equally incredible.

After being caught by Lin Yuan again, Kane recalled that night countless times.

Lin Yuan's ghostly figure moving at high speed in the night made it impossible for him to lock onto his target.

He and his old partner Sant had discussed this many times: If they had known in advance that Lin Yuan was so powerful, would it have been possible for them to make targeted preparations and successfully complete the mission?
He and Sant came to the conclusion that in an open field, there was absolutely no chance of success if Lin Yuan changed tracks and moved at high speed.

Because Lin Yuan was running so fast and changing his position, it was impossible to lock onto the target.

But if Lin Yuan is in an environment where he cannot move, they have an absolute chance of winning.

After all, in Kane's opinion, Lin Yuan is still a human being made of flesh and blood. As long as he can't avoid the shooting by moving, he will definitely not be able to withstand a shot.

Kane was still secretly proud in his heart: no matter how fast Lin Yuan ran or how strong his swordsmanship was, after all, this was the era of hot weapons, and relying on personal bravery would not be enough to fight against guns.

But what happened today completely overturned Kane's cognition.

Lin Yuan didn't move at all. Facing the bullet shot by the sniper, he just took a step forward and split the bullet with the throwing knife in his hand?
This is too ridiculous!

At this moment, Kane suddenly remembered a clip from the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" that Lin Yuan had filmed:
When Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, pointed his pistol at Will Turner, played by Lin Yuan, he said proudly, "Although your swordsmanship is powerful, so what? After all, times have changed!"

Facing the barrel of the pistol, Will said calmly: "You can try to shoot!" "Don't force me! A handsome young man like you shouldn't lose his life in anger."

"If you don't dare to shoot, you can go to jail."

Will continued to walk forward.

"boom!"

In a slow-motion close-up, accompanied by gun smoke, a copper bullet shot out from the barrel of the pistol, drawing a ripple in the air and heading straight for Will's chest.

Will calmly swung his sword, and the cold blade arrived first and slashed the flying bullet fiercely.

"Ding!"

In slow motion, the bullet was split in half by the sword.

As Captain Jack looked stunned, Will put the sword on his neck and asked with a smile, "You said times have changed?"

This scene is not exaggerated in movies and TV shows, but actually happened in reality?
Lin Yuan smiled and asked, the expression of how times have changed appeared in Kane's eyes again.

Maybe for him, times really haven't changed?

Kane admitted helplessly that at this moment he was completely convinced by Lin Yuan. He had obeyed Lin Yuan's orders in the past, largely because of Betty's control.

But now, even without Betty, he still couldn't think of disobeying Lin Yuan.

Kane didn't know how Lin Yuan had done what he had just done, but he knew very well that this meant that Lin Yuan could easily crush him to death, and he could not pose any threat to Lin Yuan.

Unless he uses the howitzer on the remote weapon station, who can guarantee that Lin Yuan cannot throw out the flying knife and hit the flying grenade?

Kane was completely conquered, and Kano was not much better.

At this moment, he was completely astounded by Lin Yuan.

Kano held Lin Yuan's hand and sighed, "I really don't know how to thank you. Not only did you provide me with information, you also saved my life.

Now I understand the saying that art originates from life. It turns out that Mr. Lin’s films are a bit conservative.”

Lin Yuan didn't want to delve into this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Mr. Kano, you are too kind. We should focus on the current situation.

The bodyguard's sudden fall just now was clearly not an accident. We'll quickly interrogate him and hopefully, the personnel sent to capture the sniper will yield some results."

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Kano immediately issued a series of instructions.

His bodyguards immediately sprang into action, and he apologized to Lin Yuan, "I'm sorry I have to excuse myself for a moment. I also need to participate in the interrogation of that bodyguard."

Lin Yuan suddenly asked, "Excuse me, can I participate in the interrogation?"

"Ah? Mr. Lin is interested in interrogation?" Kano was obviously quite surprised. In his understanding, most respectable people like wealthy people and superstars were all averse to such a dirty job as interrogation.

If it weren't for the fact that this bodyguard had been with him for several years, Kano felt that he could play a role in the interrogation, and he wouldn't want to participate in the interrogation. He didn't expect that Lin Yuan would actually ask to participate actively.

Lin Yuan didn’t really like the interrogation, but since he had already bet on Kano, he might as well bet more.

His natural ability lies in interrogation, which has been tested many times in practice. It goes without saying that it is very useful.

Helping Kano obtain more intelligence can, on the one hand, allow him to gain more favors, and on the other hand, ensure Kano's life safety, which is also necessary for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "To be honest, I have some experience in interrogation. If I can be of some help, I believe Mr. Kano will be safer."

"You saved my life, so what's the big deal about participating in the interrogation? Mr. Lin, come with me." Kano said.

After Lin Yuan turned around and said a few words to GAKKI-chan, he followed Kano into a room, which served as a temporary interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, there were only the interrogation expert and the bodyguard, while Lin Yuan and Kano were sitting behind a one-way glass.

They could see the two people in the interrogation room and hear their conversation.

The two people in the interrogation room could not see Lin Yuan and Kano.

Don’t be curious why there is such a suitable interrogation room in a house that looks like a palace, and it is even equipped with one-way glass?

In fact, this is very common in the homes of African dignitaries. This room is located on the first floor and is intended to be used as a kitchen.

As we all know, a chef who can become the one in charge of catering for the rich and powerful must be an absolute confidant, otherwise how can you dare to eat the food he provides with peace of mind?
But the chef is the boss's confidant, so it is impossible for all the chefs under him to have a good relationship with the boss.

At most, chefs will cook the boss's meals themselves. They often won't do other work themselves. They also have to handle a lot of logistical management work, and it is impossible for them to stay in the kitchen all the time to supervise other chefs.

The kitchen is the place where it is easiest to slack off, and you don’t even know if the chefs are secretly doing anything dirty.

Therefore, it is also necessary to deter and supervise these chefs.

African chefs love to play this kind of trick where the punishment is unknown but the power is unpredictable.

They would actively request to have this one-way glass monitoring room built in the kitchen.

When the chefs were working, they didn't know whether the chef was hiding behind them and secretly observing them. It was like a sword hanging over their heads, making them dare not slack off.

This setting happened to be used as an interrogation room at this time.

When it comes to interrogation, many people's first reaction is to associate it with violence.

This is not the public's fault, because in movies and TV dramas, the villains always capture the good guys and torture them to extract confessions.

This type of plot clip has the strongest visual impact on the audience, and therefore appears most frequently in film and television dramas.

This gives the audience the illusion that interrogation = torture.

But in fact, the most important purpose of interrogation is to obtain the most real, comprehensive and valuable information.

If you think that violence is all you need to do to simply intimidate the person being interrogated and force him to reveal a string of information, then doesn't that mean anyone who is good at using violence can become an interrogation expert?
Obviously it is not that simple, imagine:
When you use violence on the person being interrogated, he looks scared to death and confesses a series of information.

How do you know he's telling the truth?
Not all intelligence can be verified in a timely manner.

Even if it is possible, what if when you search a hideout according to the intelligence obtained during interrogation, you find that you have fallen into a trap and the enemy has placed a large amount of explosives there in advance?
How do you judge that he has told all the information he knows, instead of hiding half and revealing only the most important information?
Therefore, interrogation is a very professional psychological game.

Interrogators are all experts in psychology. They will use various methods including question-and-answer method, free statement method, segmented interrogation method, key breakthrough method, and psychological attack method.

Design targeted interrogation plans based on the characteristics of the person being interrogated to achieve the best results.

At this time, Kano's interrogation expert had stepped forward and started communicating with the bodyguard.

"Niala, I'm sorry that we meet in such an occasion. We have been working together for four years. We originally planned to have a drink and barbecue together in a few days, but now it seems that we may not get to meet again," said the interrogation expert.

The bodyguard who fell, Nila, said nothing.

"Are you in pain? Let's have a drink together to make your pain better. It can be considered as fulfilling our agreement."

The interrogation expert took out a bottle of wine and poured two glasses. He brought one of the glasses to Nila's mouth and wanted to feed it into his mouth.

Nila's hands and feet were tied tightly, so he could only rely on the interrogation expert to feed him alcohol if he wanted to drink.

Of course, he can choose not to drink.

But Nila did not refuse. He opened his mouth and drank the wine that the interrogation expert fed him.

Seeing this scene, the interrogation expert smiled.

His first step was achieved.

All things are difficult at the beginning. The most difficult part of the interrogation process is often the lack of cooperation from the person being interrogated at the beginning.

If the person being interrogated doesn't say a word and doesn't communicate with you at all, then for many people, apart from directly using torture, all other techniques will be useless.

The interrogation expert's routine was very effective. He first mentioned the agreement to drink together, and then suggested giving Nila a glass of wine to relieve the pain. How could he refuse?

Drinking this glass of wine can not only fulfill the agreement with my colleagues, but also relieve my pain, so I will definitely choose to drink it.

The action of drinking is the first step in cooperation.

Since you're cooperating in drinking, and you're getting a little tipsy after a few drinks, and your rationality is waning, then isn't it reasonable for you to cooperate in chatting for a while?
It is worth mentioning that in countries with strict judicial systems, it is strictly forbidden to give prisoners alcohol during interrogation.

Because this will lead to flaws in the legal effectiveness of the evidence, evidence obtained from the prisoner while drunk will be excluded on the grounds of procedural irregularities.

But in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there's clearly no such concern. On the one hand, who cares about the legitimacy of the evidence? I just want the most timely and effective intelligence.

On the other hand, the interrogation expert would not give Nila too much alcohol, just a little bit to numb his tense nerves.

Sure enough, after two glasses of wine, Nila's face began to turn red.

The interrogation expert put away the wine and did not let him drink any more. Instead, he said, "Actually, today we are just going through the motions. There are many things that I don't even need your answers to. I already know the answers."

Nila looked at the interrogation expert in disbelief.

The interrogation expert continued, "You must have known about today's attack in advance."

"Don't be so quick to deny it. Your fall was just a coincidence. If it was just a normal fall and no assassination attempt had occurred, it could have been just a coincidence.

But as soon as you fell, a bullet shot in from the gap. You can't even say that this coincidence was not intentional, right?"

Nila nodded: "I can't deny it."

His opening of the mouth meant that he had finally started communicating verbally and answered the first question of the night.

For interrogation experts, this first step, which is always difficult, has already been successfully broken.

Then it would be natural to continue asking some questions and gradually piece together the final truth of the matter.

Lin Yuan, who was behind the one-way glass, saw all the twists and turns of the interrogation expert.

For him, it was the first time to watch a real interrogation.

Although he had interrogated several people before, such as Kane, the late former MGM boss Mills, and the murderer of Lee Boo-jin.

But Lin Yuan was completely taking advantage of the system's talent to cheat. When it came to real interrogation techniques, he actually knew nothing about them.

Now looking at the interrogation work in the non-plug-in mode, Lin Yuan feels that it is really not easy. It is necessary to design the other party's psychology step by step to achieve the final result.

Unless there are any accidents, Lin Yuan does not plan to conduct the interrogation personally today.

He just wanted to help determine whether the information obtained by the interrogation experts was true behind the one-way glass.

This is actually enough.

As long as this information is completely true and correct, and prevents Kano from going astray, that is enough.

In the interrogation room, the expert continued, following Nila's words: "Although I was 100% certain in my heart that you fell on purpose, I still had a glimmer of hope. I really wish you hadn't done such a thing today. It really hurts me."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you," Nila said ashamedly.

"No, the one who should be disappointed is Boss Kano. He has always trusted you so much and treated you as his godson." The interrogation expert shook his head.

After hearing the interrogation expert's words, Nila lowered his head, obviously feeling quite depressed.

Lin Yuan smiled as he watched the scene in front of him. Those involved are often confused, but those who are watching can see things clearly. Nila may not realize that the interrogation expert is using psychological tactics on him, but Lin Yuan, who is watching, sees it clearly.

A key point in interrogation is to never let the person being interrogated feel justified and think that everything he does is right.

This way he will be more inclined to choose not to cooperate.

And human nature always finds various excuses for itself and beautifies its own behavior.

Many criminals who have committed unforgivable crimes will deceive themselves by finding a series of excuses to tell themselves that they have done nothing wrong and that they had no choice but to do so.

Those who dare to admit that they are wrong and do not make any excuses for themselves are extremely rare.

But if we had such a reflective way of thinking, we wouldn't have come to this point.

The interrogation expert constantly expressed his sadness and disappointment towards Nila. This is a communication skill that allows him to stand with the other person emotionally but at the same time be opposed to him in terms of stance.

By evoking Nila's guilt towards the interrogation expert and Kano, the door to subsequent communication can be further opened.

Lin Yuan felt that he had learned a lot, and the next step should be to gradually enter the core intelligence area.

Kano sat up straight.
