Billoux Castle is located in Northern Ireland, and you can clearly feel that the temperature here is several degrees lower than that in England and Scotland.
The journey of several hours was not easy. After arriving at the Billou Castle, the Hearst sisters went to the bedroom to rest under Barron's arrangement.
"She is in the cell in the basement now, Your Highness."
At this time, Barron's intelligence consultant Nigel had already arrived here.
"How has she behaved along the way?"
"He's been quite cooperative and quiet, without any extreme behavior, but he still hasn't revealed any information."
"Let's go see her."
By the way, the mysterious woman who was brought here this time was also the first "guest" of the dungeon of Billu Castle.
Although it is called a dungeon, it is not that gloomy and looks like an ordinary prison cell.
Moreover, the interior layout of the cells here is also comfortable - after all, those who are willing to risk Barron's life to be imprisoned here must be relatively important people.
Because she was a woman, the cell where she was held was one of the more "high-end" ones in the prison.
The dungeon is currently guarded by the special operations team. Under Nigel's guidance, Barron came to the cell where the "mysterious woman" was imprisoned.
Through the observation port of the cell, Barron could see that there was a woman sitting in the room wearing camouflage military uniform. She looked very young, about twenty years old, with long brown hair tied into a ponytail. She was very beautiful, with delicate and three-dimensional facial features, and had a somewhat mixed-race look.
"After she was caught, she was changed into the military uniform of the Munger base because she needed to be searched."
Nigel explained from behind Barron.
"Open the door, I'll go in and meet her."
After hearing Barron's words, at Nigel's signal, a special operations team member took out the key and opened the door.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman looked towards the door.
As the door opened, two soldiers walked into the cell with weapons in hand, one on the left and one on the right, pointing their guns in the direction of the woman to keep watch.
Behind them, two people walked in, one of them was a handsome young man in a black windbreaker, and behind him, followed a middle-aged man with glasses and a slightly bald head.
Both of them have typical Anglo-Saxon features.
From where they were standing, it was obvious that the handsome young man was of the highest status.
After confirming that it was safe, Barron walked into the cell. He quietly looked at the woman opposite him and said with a playful expression:
"From your reaction when you saw me, I can tell you know me, right?"
When the woman heard Barron say this as his first sentence, her expression changed slightly.
Finally she nodded and said in fluent English:
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, you should be the Duke of Devonshire. Does that mean I'm in England now?"
Ever since this woman was captured, her head has been completely covered with a hood, whether on the way to the Munger base or on the way here, so that she would not know the destination.
So before this, she didn't know where she was.
This feeling is also the most frightening.
"It doesn't matter where you are. Since you recognized me, I now have only one choice before you, and that is to answer my questions truthfully."
"I..."
When the woman was about to say something, Barron interrupted her and said:
"You don't have to rush to talk to me. I can tell you that no matter who you are or what you want to do, these are actually not important to me. I will only give you one chance, and I will verify your answer. If any point is proven to be a lie, then all your words will no longer have any meaning to me, including you. Do you understand?"
After hearing what Barron said, a thoughtful expression appeared on the woman's face.
Finally, when Barron finished speaking and looked at her, a firm look appeared in the woman's eyes. She nodded and said to him:
"I will tell the truth and am willing to cooperate with you. I need you to ensure my safety."
"It all depends on whether you are worthy of me doing this."
"Okay, go ahead and ask."
"Then come with me, I hope this isn't a waste of time."
After saying this, at Barron's signal, two soldiers escorted the woman out of the cell.
Barron and Nigel followed behind.
Since they were going to be interrogated, they would naturally be transferred to an interrogation room specially set up here.
In the interrogation room, the woman was locked in a chair, and there were still two soldiers guarding her on both sides.
Barron and Nigel sat in chairs opposite her, with a long, wide table between them.
"First, your name."
"My name is Alia."
Alia? This is a name often used by Arabs, Barron asked:
"Are you Arab?"
"I am half Arab, my father is Arab."
No wonder she looks a bit like a mixed race...
Barron looked at her and continued to ask:
"How do you know me?"
"Before I prepared to cooperate with Raphael and his team, I investigated their previous affairs in London, so... there is information about you and your family in that investigation."
The Devonshire family suffered the most in the "London Star" scam, so her words sounded reasonable, but...
"We all learned about Raphael's existence only much later. How did you know about their connection to the London Star case?"
"Because... it can be said that they took the initiative to ask for cooperation with us. In order to show their strength, they contacted our member Raphael and told us about the case they had worked on..."
"What is your collaboration?"
"Do you know Sahara in India? That's our target..."
…
"Go verify her information..."
"Yes, Your Highness. What about this woman?"
After hearing Nigel's words, Barron looked back at the cell where the other person was and said,
"Keep her here for now. At least she can help us find Raphael's other men, but first we need to confirm whether what she said is true."
After thinking for a while, Barron continued:
"We specially hired two female bodyguards from the security department of the military company to keep an eye on her 24 hours a day and take confidentiality measures."
After two hours of interrogation, Barron still obtained a lot of information.
First of all, let's talk about the identity of the woman. Her name is Alia Benti Hussein. According to her, her parents died when she was very young, and she was raised by a French man named Louis Lafayette, to be specific, a man of French descent. Because the other party's nationality often changed, Alia herself could not tell exactly what country Louis was from.
So what's interesting is that although Alia is half Arab, she is very secular and does not have a very strong faith.
This time they were going to cooperate with Rafael, and their target was the Sahara Company in India. However, Alia was "unlucky". Just when she was about to meet with Soslan Tijiyev, who led the "London Eye" fraud case, she was caught by the special operations team...
Speaking of India's Sahara Company, even Barron had heard of it in his previous life. It can be said to be the largest Ponzi scheme in Indian history.
But what's even more bizarre is that everyone knows that this is a Ponzi scheme, and the Indian government has investigated and punished the company, but in the end, until Barron was reborn, the company still existed...
