Chapter 542: Bewitching and Brainwashing
"Poisoning? Terrorist attack? Ace Ace?" After hearing what Jack said, Mr. Shagas' face turned red, and his eyes kept looking at the faces of the two FBI agents and his daughter. As I walked back and forth, I couldn't believe how my ordinary daughter could be associated with the word terrorist.
At this time, everyone had entered the house. Hannah sat on the sofa in the living room with Tara, who was still in shock. Jack looked around. The furnishings in the living room were all in order and cleaned. Very clean too.
It seems that the single father in front of me is not the type who neglects his family because of his busy work. This can be confirmed from the fact that he rushes to send his daughter to school early in the morning.
Jack felt that it was necessary to reflect on his previous attitude. He seemed to have some preconceptions about this father before.
"Tara, who is the girl they are talking about? How did she get involved with Ace? Tell the FBI and don't hide anything."
Mr. Shagas' voice became a little... The voice was hoarse, and in addition to anger, Jack could also hear worry and fear for his daughter.
"She is a new transfer student, one year older than me, we we" The girl sat numbly on the sofa, as if she had not recovered from the shock and fear, obviously she had realized something .
Mr. Shagas' chubby face was so red that he was almost bleeding. When he heard that his daughter was indeed involved in this kind of thing, the veins on his neck popped out, which was very disturbing. People are worried whether he will have a cerebral hemorrhage in the next second.
"Why have I never heard you talk about her? You still" He wanted to continue yelling, but was immediately stopped by Jack.
"Mr. Shagas, although your daughter is underage, this case involves acts of terrorism. Please listen here just out of respect."
Jack didn't finish his words, but he had already expressed what he wanted to say with his eyes. The meaning was expressed very clearly. Mr. Shagas took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions.
"Tara, has Caroline ever mentioned the website 'DarkJihad' to you?" Hannah asked in a gentle tone.
“She is still a child, she doesn’t understand anything, you don’t understand” As soon as he heard the word “Jihad”, before Tara could speak, Mr. Shagas quickly interrupted what he was about to say. Something Tara.
Jack directly showed the handcuffs, understanding and understanding, knowing that the other party was protecting his child, but this was their only clue at the moment, and he could not let the father and daughter get away with it like this.
"Sir, you can choose to listen quietly on the side, or be taken back to the interrogation room of the FBI office with your daughter. This is the last warning.
We have no intention of eliciting a confession, and neither does your daughter. It’s too deep, but if you continue like this or lie to federal agents, I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
On the other side, Hannah, who was sitting next to Tara, was also right. She said seriously,
"The FBI is investigating 'DarkJihad'. It is only a matter of time to find out who has logged into this website, so there is no point in lying. What we have to do is to catch up with new attacks before they happen." Before, stop this and save the lives of innocent people."
After some half-truths, Tara finally stammered, "It's Caroline, she found it first. DarkJihad' this website."
Jack and Hannah looked at each other with joy in their eyes, and now they had a breakthrough.
Tara continued, "She told me it was a very cool place, and the people there were smart and well-meaning, and they would talk to us about common topics they had encountered."
"What kind of topic?" Hannah was persuasive.
Tara shook her head, "I don't know what to say." As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at her anxious father.
“For example, anxiety about dressing up. If you dress fashionably, you will be called a slut. Parents will also question you. If you wear what you like, you will be called a freak or a prude.”
< br>
"It's true." Hannah looked deeply touched, as if the girl who was COSed as a little elk at Christmas this year was not her. Seeing that her point of view was recognized, Tara gradually gained courage and became more fluent in speaking.
“But there, every woman wears the same clothes, and you don’t have to worry about dressing up.”
Hear her say this The three adults who were listening had question marks on their heads at the same time, and they had self-doubts as to whether they had missed a passage just now.
Jack thought about it three times before he realized, "You're not talking about all women wearing black burqas and masks, are you?"
"That's not what she meant." Mr. Shagas was about to retort for his daughter, but stepped back under Jack's death gaze.
"That's what it means." Tara looked at her father with an inexplicable expression in her eyes, and the latter was shocked and speechless.
If someone told him that he was worried about an onychomycosis on his little finger, so he planned to cut off his entire arm as a treatment plan, he would definitely be amused.
But when this kind of person really appears next to him, and she is his own daughter, it will only make him feel horrified and frightened, and something even more unbelievable is yet to come.
"I also joined 'DarkJihad' and started studying." Tara took a deep breath, not knowing whether it was because she could finally truly express her "faith", or because she wanted to swear something, this The ordinary-looking fat girl seemed to be radiating confidence all over her body at this moment.
Hannah frowned, "What are you studying?"
"Preparing to go to the Middle East."
Hearing these words, Mr. Shagas seemed to be deflated. , slumped on the chair next to the dining table.
"Becoming Ace's bride?" Jack had heard similar news in his previous life. There are such bewitched and brainwashed girls in Europe, the United States, and even North Africa, especially in places like Morocco. Most of them are underage and newly-adult women.
The so-called bride is just a euphemism. To put it bluntly, it is used as a tool to expose YU. The most common is speed dating. After a good night, the man straps a bomb on his body without any regrets. , the "widow" left behind can be used two or three times.
"Caroline and I planned to go together, but she died. I don't understand." Tara was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Who is the other party? I think you should have guessed by now that both you and Caroline have been used by the other party. Tell us his identity." Hannah was unable to complain and just wanted to get the key as soon as possible. information.
"His online name is 'Greenbird'. He first met Caroline on the website and then started chatting through a software. Caroline said they had a plan and she would help them complete it. Plan, and then you can go abroad."
What Tara said was not entirely true. Jack suspected that she should know that Caroline was planning to poison, and he knew the result through yesterday's news report. Obviously, she didn't care about these innocent dead until the FBI came to her door.
But now is not a good time to hold people accountable. What they urgently need is more information.
"Have you talked to Greenbird? Tell me what you know?" Jack put a hand on Mr. Shagas' shoulder and warned him with his eyes while continuing to ask the girl.
"We talk about everything. He is very smart and knows what I am thinking. He cares about me very much." Tara's cheeks flushed, and there was still a trace of attachment in her eyes when talking about each other.
