Although the middleman was skilled at navigating both the legal and underworld circles, he was no match for the Bureau. He was soon arrested and confessed under interrogation.
Even though he had erased all records of his 13th client that year, the Bureau used advanced techniques to recover the data.
That night, Juliet had just woken up from sleep when she heard her doorbell ring.
Through the peephole, she saw a stern woman in a property management uniform. The woman claimed to be the apartment manager.
Feeling reassured, Juliet opened the door. "What's the matter?"
The woman flashed her ID and said sternly, "We're from the National Security Bureau. Please come with us."
Several solemn-looking men appeared behind her.
Juliet definitely did not have the guts to go against the National Security Bureau. The bureau did not give her a chance to contact anyone and took her away. Eventually, Juliet cried and confessed everything.
