Life Dungeon Game

Nok sat on the sofa, unaware that the entire conversation had been taken over by Genos, and he, as the questioner, was now being questioned.

"I don't remember."

Genos frowned slightly, seemingly trying to find someone in his memory who was associated with the name 'Zadi'. In the end, he shook his head, indicating that he did not know anyone named Zadi.

“Oh, it’s alright,” Nock said quickly. “We’ll only ask a few questions, it’ll be quick.”

"Please say."

Genos smiled and spread his hands.

In fact, the reason for this inquiry is unfounded.

Based on the information that Heo has gathered so far, Zadi has not had any contact with Genos.

However, this kind of behavior of using false reasons to obtain real information is compliant with the FBI's internal investigation guidelines. It's just that using this method has a high probability of being reported and punished.

"Where were you between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on September 15th? ... Please rest assured that the information we ask will be kept strictly confidential."

Nock asked softly.

At the same time, he tapped on his wristband, opened an FBI-specific recording software, and spent some time setting up the parameters one by one before looking up at Genos.

“There’s nothing to keep secret. I was in Irons that day, discussing the proposal in the council, and the senators who were there can testify for me.”

Genos did not answer immediately, but smiled and waited for Nok to finish setting it up before slowly replying.

"Okay, may I ask..."

Nock asked two more simple questions, then he turned to look at Heo.

As per their previous agreement, he was responsible for bringing He in on behalf of the FBI, asking some simple questions to break the ice, and then it would be He's turn to ask questions.

Although he didn't know why Heo wanted to see the senator, he still agreed to Heo's request.

However, at this moment he suddenly realized that Heo did not have the FBI's dedicated note-taking software and was not familiar with the FBI's interrogation process. Would he give himself away?

At that moment, he suddenly realized that coming here unprepared seemed a bit too reckless.

He wanted to speak up and remind He Ao, but this wasn't a good place to talk.

A sense of tension instantly overwhelmed him. He stared at He Ao, trying to remind him with his eyes.

Then he saw Heo raise his wristband, naturally open an app that was extremely similar to the FBI's recording software, and quickly set up the various parameters.

He spent a long time setting those parameters.

At that moment, Nock suddenly felt that Heo was more like an FBI agent than he was, and he even felt that Heo must have worked for the FBI for a long time.

For a fleeting moment, he even began to suspect that He Ao was a big shot sent down from above to "fish" for him.

He was unaware of the myriad thoughts swirling in Nock's mind. As he looked at the simulation recording software Eve had created, Ander's memories slowly surfaced.

During his internship, Ender actually participated in many FBI operations and was consistently rated as excellent.

Dispelling his thoughts, Heo raised his head, calmly looked at Genos, and asked softly, "Mr. Genos, there is evidence that 'Zadi's' father had dealings with your father when they were young. They had a dispute over a piece of land in an abandoned park. Are you aware of this?"

Genos's expression changed slightly.

Chapter 474 The Forgotten Scene (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

“I haven’t heard anyone ask about my father for many years,” Genos said, his smile fading. “I was very young when my father passed away, so I don’t know much about what he did back then.”

“This incident occurred approximately forty years ago. Did your father leave behind any relevant project documents back then? We now suspect that Zadi’s case may be related to your father’s assassination attempt back then.”

He Ao calmly pressed for an answer.

The murder of Senator Jenos' father has yet to be solved. At the time, the FBI only identified it as the work of a cult, but the specific cult and the perpetrators have never been identified.

However, as time went by, more and more people forgot about this case.

As a result, the case became an unsolved mystery.

Genos's expression changed slightly again, it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad. He simply pondered calmly for a moment, then said slowly,

“My father didn’t like using electronic storage devices, so the documents he left behind are mostly paper documents, stored in the archives in the basement of the villa. I can take you to see those documents, but I need you to keep the contents confidential.”

"The FBI has an obligation to keep confidential any evidence and information involving federal secrets, trade secrets, or personal privacy. We will not disclose this information to any third party other than investigators."

He Ao nodded slightly.

Nock glanced at Heo.

He was increasingly convinced that Heo was a colleague of the FBI, and a senior one at that.

He Ao's statement just now came from the FBI's internal code of conduct, but only a seasoned veteran agent could say it so casually. Reciting such a complete set of regulations makes one appear very professional.

Anyway, Nock himself couldn't remember these rules; he could only keep a general impression of them.

Meanwhile, Heo was watching Genos.

FBI agents do indeed have these obligations, and if secrets are leaked, they may be subject to complaints or even lawsuits for damages.

Of course, this is contingent on finding out who leaked the information.

For ordinary people, this FBI regulation is almost ineffective, because even if ordinary people experience privacy breaches, the cost of seeking redress is so high that they don't want to pursue it.

For a senator like Genos, protecting his rights is not an issue; he can even put pressure on the FBI through other means. Therefore, in his view, this confidentiality provision is effective.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Genos stood up and led the three of them toward the door.

There was an elevator right outside the office, and Genos led the two of them down to the third basement level.

After the elevator doors opened, a winding corridor came into view. Bright light shone on the pure white floor of the corridor, making it appear spacious and elegant.

"It's so warm here."

Nock glanced at the light and said instinctively.

"Although this place is three underground levels, it has central air conditioning that controls the temperature 24 hours a day, keeping the environment in a comfortable range. However... the temperature here seems to be set a bit higher than on the ground."

Genos Light

He explained as he stepped out of the elevator, "The archives are a little further inside."

He and Ao followed behind him, continuing to walk inside.

He looked up at the air vents of the central air conditioning unit.

The temperature here is indeed higher than on the ground.

As a core believer of the Church of the Goddess of Life, whose ears are constantly filled with the whispers of the Goddess of Life, He Ao could clearly perceive that the warm feeling did not come from the surface of his skin, but from the depths of his soul.

The air here is filled with the power of life, and it's very strong.

Heo remained calm and continued to follow behind Genos.

This underground space is designed like a maze.

The three walked for a while, making several turns in a row.

"The layout here is so complicated," He Ao said casually, glancing around at the various doors crisscrossing the corridor. "Has it always been like this?"

“Every few generations in our family, someone gets dissatisfied with the style of our family villa,” Genos laughed, “and then we do a major renovation.”

In other words, this place hasn't always been like this.

He Ao ran his fingers along the wall, lost in thought.

"arrive."

Genos stopped at a doorway, placed his hand on the door, verified his fingerprint, and opened the door.

The lights in the archives room turned on automatically.

This underground archive is free of dust and musty smells. It is maintained and cleaned by specialized cleaning robots, and the air conditioning system regulates the temperature and humidity, allowing the papers to be preserved for a longer period of time.

The cost of maintaining this archive is probably no less than renting a comfortable single room in an old building.

Genos led Heo and the other man to a filing shelf and took out a thick stack of folders and offset printed project proposals from one of the shelves.

A transport robot came over and placed the stack of project proposals on it. Then, to Nok's astonishment, Nok continued to pile up more documents on top of the robot.

This continuous addition process lasted for almost ten minutes before stopping.

Nock swallowed hard as he looked at the two stacks of documents on the transport robot that were taller than him.

“My father was a very good backup man,” Genos explained with a smile. “These are the documents from most of the projects our family handled forty years ago. Many of these documents are actually duplicates, and there are also photocopies of some useless emails. You may have to find them yourselves.”

“This…” Nok clicked his tongue and looked at Genos, “Could we borrow a scanner? We can scan these documents, convert them into electronic documents using OCR software, and then process them with electronic software. That should allow us to find the content we want quickly.”

Nock knew that this request was somewhat presumptuous.

However, this request cannot be ignored, because Genos is not stupid, and someone will definitely check their identities at this point.

His identity is naturally not in question, but he has already received a notice of suspension, which means that he has no authority to handle cases.

The friend standing next to him, who used the alias 'Zadi,' was not a member of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Limen City at all; their identities could not withstand any verification.

Of course, from the moment you enter,

Zadi never claimed to be an FBI agent.

And when they arrived, only Locke showed his FBI badge.

Although the director has suspended Nock, this suspension information will not be updated until tomorrow, so according to the official FBI system, Nock is still an employed staff member.

If Genos only uses the FBI system to verify his identity, this disguise would be virtually flawless.

However, if Genos were to have the FBI field office in Lemon City check, the two would very likely be exposed.

Fortunately, there weren't many people from the FBI in Limen City, and everyone in the bureau knew each other, so no one would betray Nock, since Nock was indeed investigating the case in a certain sense.

Moreover, the chief is extremely protective of his own, and the consequences of betraying other agents are very serious.

But if Genos's men can't get information from other agents, they'll definitely contact the director in the senator's name.

Today is Saturday. The director will go home to play with his children from 3 pm to 5 pm, without fail. During this time, the director will turn off his smart bracelet and refuse any contact.

Nock glanced at his wristband; it was 4:17, forty-three minutes until 5:00.

In fact, Nok and Heo arrived precisely at this time.
