Chapter 2976

"Then can I try?" Williams said: "Can you see what I'm thinking right now?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "I think the children's offensive behavior is only enough for you to mention one condition. If you want me to see what you are thinking right now, then I won't help you with the things after that."

"They might go to jail," Williams emphasized his tone and said.

"Then I will notify Bruce Wei En," Schiller said. "As for the others, they don't look like the material for jail."

Williams glanced at the interrogation room. He actually wasn't blind. That group of people from the Guardians of the Galaxy, even if placed on the East Coast where folk customs are open, was a bit too advanced. It was clear they had a big background and it was unlikely they would be locked up by a prison.

As for those two adopted sons of Bruce Wei En, being punished with dozens of hours of community service belonged to Bruce wanting to take this opportunity to educate the children. If he wanted to protect them with all his might, this little matter couldn't shake the big tree of Wei En at all.

Schiller seemed to have made a decision for him. Williams saw that the way Schiller observed him had changed. He couldn't explain what kind of feeling it was, but he felt as if he had been nailed by a nail and pierced through by something.

A few seconds later, Schiller's eyes looked away slightly, and he said: "You can go back and consider it. I still have class, I'll go first."

He stood up and left, not even asking those children a word. Williams stood up almost simultaneously, watching his back as he walked out of the room, his face somewhat gloomy and unpredictable.

Suddenly, his phone rang. After he picked up the phone, his face changed, and he roared at the other side: "Sealed off?! Why was it sealed off?! My procedures are legal... I'll go over there right away..."

After Williams left, Gordon let the group of people in the detention room out, and then urged them: "If anyone asks, just say I bailed you out. The procedures are here. It's best not to continue causing trouble after going back."

Dick immediately gave him a hug and said: "My god, I knew you were the best, Uncle Gordon."

Watching them walk into the summer heatwave, Gordon stood at the entrance of the police station and shook his head. Suddenly, a small police officer ran over and whispered something in Gordon's ear. Gordon raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true, Chief. That place has already been sealed, and it's full of FBI agents all around. Ah, not just the FBI, there's also a group of guys with purple logos on their clothes, seems to be called something... Federal Emergency Management Agency?"

Gordon muttered the name in his mouth. After a long while, he said: "Since something happened on my turf, I can't ignore it. Go prepare the car, we'll go there."

The police siren rang through the streets and alleys. Gordon had just opened the car door when the overwhelming heatwave almost pushed him back.

He covered his eyes with his hand and gathered his courage before getting out of the car, then rushed into the nearby shade at the fastest speed. The police officers behind him followed suit.

Gordon looked over there and really saw some people in uniforms different from the FBI agents. On their chests was a circular purple logo, and the pattern seemed to be a shield.

Then he saw a familiar figure in the crowd—Amanda Waller.

Amanda was no different from the past, in uniform, high and mighty, and opposite her was Williams, who looked somewhat exasperated.

Gordon turned his head to look at the construction site. The metal wall that had suddenly appeared before had disappeared. In the middle of the construction site was a circle of gullies, looking like the metal wall had been dug out from underneath.

But at this time, the construction site had been completely surrounded by warning tape. To be precise, the entire lake had been surrounded.

Seeing the two arguing endlessly, Gordon knew it was time for him to appear. He walked over immediately, and as soon as he walked over, he gasped.

Looking to the right from where the two were standing, which was also a cordoned-off area behind Amanda's office car, it was all kinds of bones.

Based on Gordon's rich experience, they were all human bones.

This was interesting. Gordon swore he wasn't gloating, because he was an eyewitness to that event back then and knew that the vast majority of what was thrown into this lake were the bones of clones. Those clones had even harmed his subordinates, so naturally, he couldn't feel sad.

He leaned in a little closer. Williams was indeed roaring in anger: "I don't care what case you want to investigate, my construction site must start on time! You can't just seal it off like this..."

"Mr. Williams, I must remind you, even if this construction site only started recently, the time you submitted for approval wasn't recent. That is to say, you are suspected of committing a crime, and you will have to cooperate with our investigation later."

"Are you crazy? How could I kill so many people?! This, this, this, this, this... this fucking has to be dozens of people! And more people are being salvaged! I'm not a terrorist, how could I kill so many people?!"

But Amanda was really too good at dealing with such people. She said lightly: "Yes, you might not be able to kill so many people, but who knows if one or two of them were done by you? Could it be that I can ignore it just because you killed one person?"

"You're not even from the FBI!"

"Sorry, my authority is higher than the FBI." Amanda's voice turned cold gradually. She took out her credentials, flashed them in front of Williams, and said: "Federal Emergency Management Agency, you can also call us the Federal Shield. We suspect that the large number of corpses appearing in the lake may be related to certain supernatural events, so we are ordered to investigate. This is my credential and search warrant. If you continue to obstruct the investigation, we have the right to arrest you for obstruction of justice and endangering federal security."

Williams had just opened his mouth to say something when Amanda leaned forward and lowered her voice: "You leave. After we finish our work, you can continue to work. If you don't leave, the news that this lake once had dangerous supernatural events will spread across the entire East Coast by tomorrow. After your resort is built, who would dare to come?"

Williams's face was first flushed red, then turned from red to purple, from purple to green, and from green to black.

Now Gordon knew what the perfect plan Schiller mentioned was. If Gordon were to give this plan an evaluation, it would definitely be genius.

Williams's method of acquiring land was legal. Although he had some tendencies toward illegal construction, before the resort was completed, no one had definitive evidence.

However, if a murder case occurred here, and it was the kind of very serious murder case where dozens or hundreds of corpses were found, then the FBI's investigation work would be even more legal.

The FBI is the biggest gang on this continent. As long as there is a search warrant, there is no door they dare not kick down. Let alone Williams, even if he changed his name to Donald today, this construction site would definitely be sealed.

And although Williams was very shameless, he still couldn't compare to Amanda, who had studied this way for decades. Shamelessness could be considered a successful cultivation for a businessman, but for a spy chief, it was just a basic skill.

Indeed, the clones were indeed created by Amanda, but the past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't worry about who created this thing for now. As long as something happens and it is exposed to the surface, Amanda has work to do. Once this case is handled, the funding will be easy to ask for.

This move of Schiller's to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf was really his style, Gordon thought. These two people have plenty to bicker about, but judging from the character of the two of them, it belongs to one less for every one killed. If they could perish together, that would be something to celebrate.

When Jason and Dick returned to Schiller's home, Aisha's investigation finally had some clues. She flipped through all the surveillance she could find from four years ago and finally found the figure of one of the rented excavators in the surveillance at a street corner.

That was a very bright red excavator, the color was very eye-catching, so it was easier to be noticed. The last time it was captured by surveillance, it was driving out of Cat Getan City along a road called Pomegranate Avenue, heading toward a very remote place.

Aisha checked the map and found that there was a forest there, which was the largest green forest around Cat Getan, but there were no surveillance cameras installed there, so Aisha didn't know where the final destination of this excavator was.

But this didn't prevent her from directing the Robins to go there to investigate and see if there were any traces of anything having been dug.

After Dick and Jason received the mission, they set off immediately. Not long after, they arrived at the edge of the forest. They climbed over the hills all the way, controlling the drone to take pictures around.

And soon they found the high school that was very close to the forest, and unsurprisingly discovered the ruins of the junior high school and elementary school that had been turned over by Pamela.

The abnormality here could be seen by anyone. The two dug around and found some fragments of the foundation.

Aisha also found the history of this school in the database and learned that the junior high school and elementary school were demolished 10 years ago.

This actually just confirmed her guess. The project four years ago didn't make a big fuss. It didn't tear down the complete building, but possibly was a supplement to the previous demolition project.

However, it had already been torn down once ten years ago, why go and tear it down again four years ago?

Aisha speculated that it should have been that the stairs were torn down ten years ago, the foundation was left there, and then four years ago, six excavators dug up the foundation again, covered the soil back, and completely hid the traces that the junior high school and elementary school once existed.

This meant that someone realized that the project ten years ago had loopholes, so they went to make up for it four years ago. Following this logic to continue to infer, the demolition of the elementary and junior high school back then probably wouldn't have been because of poor management, but because there were some things in the buildings of these two schools that needed to be destroyed.

And this kind of thing absolutely could not see the light of day, which is why two demolitions, ten years ago and four years ago, were needed.

The answer was already ready to come out, but no matter how Dick and Jason turned it over, they couldn't turn out anything else. There was no criminal evidence they wanted. There were only some fragments of the foundation underground, and nothing else.

Dick judged from the state of the soil that someone had turned the whole place over recently. They suspected that some eyewitnesses from back then had returned, but undoubtedly, he did a good job. There wasn't even a trace of suspicion here.

The clue was broken, and the investigation was in a stalemate, but Aisha didn't give up. She began to turn her head to investigate from the perspective of social engineering, which was to check this manager named Bob.

After searching using his photo, Aisha also found a group photo of him and Williams, but she had another discovery, which was that Bob had been married, and the database left a group photo of him and his wife after attending a banquet.

Looking at the blonde woman holding a wine glass in the photo, Aisha felt that this might be the key to obtaining new clues.
