Anthony continued, "How's your health right now?"
"Thank you for coming to see me.
I'm in pretty bad shape right now and would like to rest." Davo Gali made a gesture to send them off.
"That's not important, the doctor says you won't die." Anthony sighed softly, "However, four of the seven officers who went to the villa with you have sacrificed.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the cries of their families.
They died because of you."
Davo Gali showed a look of sadness, "You're right, I led them to search the villa. If I had been more cautious, less reckless, they might not have died."
Anthony smiled, "Why were there bombs in that villa?"
Davo Gali shook his head, "I don't know."
"Didn't your accomplices tell you? Want to call and ask them?"
Davo Gali showed a look of confusion, "What are you talking about? What accomplices?"
"You know, while you were in the operating room, I had surveillance installed in this ward. What you said to that female agent has been recorded completely.
Do you want me to play the video for you to watch?"
"Surveillance? Who allowed you to install it? What right do you have to put surveillance in my ward? Do you have the necessary documentation?
If not, anything I said won't be admitted in court."
"Don't worry, our paperwork is all in order, everything you want, we have." Anthony didn't care in the slightest, any missing parts can be filled in later.
Though the order is reversed,
that's not a problem for him... not really.
Davo Gali stared at Anthony without blinking, "Hey, I got injured while carrying out my mission, risking getting blown up to capture the robbers, and this is how you treat me?
I'm a detective, not a criminal."
Anthony said, "Then explain what you meant by what you said to that female agent?
It's not something a detective should say."
"I... I was injured in the explosion, my mind was fuzzy from the blast.
I was just talking nonsense, I don't even know what I was saying.
It can't be used as evidence."
"It's okay if you don't remember, we have a video. Want to watch it again to jog your memory?"
Davo Gali questioned, "Is this how you treat a hero injured while capturing robbers?"
"Davo Gali, I know you are an experienced detective and certainly made a lot of arrangements.
No one here is a fool, your tricks won't work on us." Anthony slowly walked over to Davo Gali,
"I have my eyes on you now, you can't escape."
Davo Gali's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, his expression somewhat twisted as if under great pressure, he squeezed out a few words, "I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Since you have contact with the robbers, there must be evidence left behind. If you don't confess, we'll still find those robbers through the clues.
By then, you'll lose your value and also lose your chance to survive."
Davo Gali looked serious, "What do you want?"
"You can become a witness for the prosecution and help us catch the rest of the suspects. This process should be familiar to you, I don't need to explain more."
Davo Gali breathed heavily, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, "I don't feel well, I'd like to rest.
Anthony snorted, "Hey, don't buy time, I know what you're thinking.
Gambling that the FBI won't find evidence to convict you.
Hoping to walk away clean." Anthony shook his head, "That's impossible, you can't go back to how things were.
If you don't become a prosecuting witness, the police aren't the only ones who will investigate you.
The gang will also continue to silence you, and you should have realized they won't simply let it go."
Davo Gali was silent for a long time, "Give me some time."
"No, you're not in a position to negotiate with me, becoming a prosecuting witness is the best outcome for you.
Unless you have other serious crimes on your record."
"I thought so, since they chose to silence you so easily, it shows you're just a small fry.
If you become a prosecuting witness, as long as your crimes aren't serious, you should be out soon."
Davo Gali grabbed the hospital bed rail hard with both hands, "I don't want to go to prison."
"You should know very well, if I told you right now that I guarantee you won't go to prison, I'd be lying to you.
I can help you strive for favorable terms, how much depends on your performance." After Anthony finished speaking, he didn't leave or speak further, he just quietly stared at him.
Davo Gali looked at Anthony, then looked at Luke and the others, he felt enormous pressure and knew he couldn't 'clean himself,' "I... I did indeed participate in the oil painting heist."
Anthony nodded, showing an encouraging expression, "What role did you play in the team?"
"I worked as a security consultant at the Getty Museum, acting as an inside man, investigating the Getty Museum's security measures.
I was also the one who informed the robbers about the transport routes and timing of those ten paintings."
"How many people are in that group of robbers?"
"I don't know, I've only been in contact with one of them."
"Where is that robber now?"
"I don't know, probably by now he's already fled, I don't think you can catch him."
"You dared to cooperate without knowing his real name?"
"I have his photo and fingerprints."
"Why did you cooperate with him?"
"Where did you two meet?"
Last year I got divorced, was feeling depressed, so I went to Las Vegas to relax.
Lost quite a bit of money.
That's where we met, he was very generous with his money...
"How do you usually get in touch?"
"We used prepaid phones, but I suspect when the villa exploded, he probably destroyed them.
This guy is very cautious."
"Why did you search that villa that exploded?"
"That villa was one of our hideouts. I knew I couldn't hide my role as a security consultant at the Getty Museum.
So, I needed to achieve some merits in the investigation, so no one would suspect me.
Earlier, we discussed that this hideout was left for me to 'earn my stripes.'
I didn't expect those guys to place bombs there.
A bunch of ungrateful bastards." Davo Gali showed a look of gritted teeth.
Anthony pressed on, "You didn't think one hideout could clear your suspicion, did you?"
"We had a backup plan, as long as it worked, the suspicions against me would be cleared.
I just didn't expect these guys to act so decisively."
Anthony pressed, "What backup plan?"
Luke, who had been standing by silently, stepped forward and asked, "Is it Jens Hauley?"
At the mention of this name, Luke couldn't help but feel a bit guilty, as the police had previously suspected him of being the mole.
Davo Gali's body trembled, "Yes."
"Is he the scapegoat you arranged?"
